INTRODUCTION The quality of the semen is one of the factors most important in success of reproductive biotechnologies (artificial insemination, fixed time artificial insemination, embryonic transfer and in vitro fertilization). The level of dietary energy has been suggested as the main nutritional factor determining the effects on sperm quality. However, incorporation of bypass polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in diets can improve semen quality due to caloric effects on...

Introduction. It is well known that, ruminal microbial protein synthesis (MPS) is the most important process in ruminant nitrogen (N) metabolism, since MPS not only contributes more than 50% of the amino acids absorbed in the small intestine, but also has an amino acid composition similar to that of the proteins required for meat production (Zinn and Owens, 1983; NRC, 1985; Seo et...

1. Introduction. Because of its low cost per unit of nitrogen (N) compared with most sources of natural protein, urea (U) is typically the primary source of supplemental N in conventional steam-flaked corn-based finishing feedlot diets (Vasconcelos et al. 2009). Previous reports (Milton et al. 1997; Zinn et al. 2003) have shown that supplemental U has more positive effects on growth performance or dietary energy utilization when...

Introduction The objective of this article is to briefly describe the most common ethanol coproducts, how they are produced, and typical nutrient compositions. Rapid growth of the ethanol industry in the United States over the last decade has generated large quantities of ethanol coproducts, which are now commonly available as feedstuffs for livestock. These coproducts are often added to livestock diets as a source...

Enzymes have been used extensively in the diets of poultry and pigs, and as silage additives, but, until recently, not much in the diets of ruminants (Beauchemin et al., 1995; Beauchemin et al., 1999a; Yang et al., 1999), due to the view that feed enzymes would be rapidly degraded in the rumen before they could have any effect (Beauchemin et al., 1995; Beauchemin et al., 1999a; Kung et al., 2000; Bowman et al., 2002a) and due to the high cost of enzymes and inconsistency of responses (Yang et...

Introduction The concept of strategic supplementation is the art and science of putting the appropriate supplemental feed in front of the cow at the right time. To understand the idea of strategic supplementation the word "strategic" needs to be defined. The online dictionary defines "strategic" as 1) "pertaining to, characterized by, or of the nature of strategy; 2) important in or essential to strategy; 3) forming an integral part...

Magnesium oxide is the most common form of supplemental magnesium used to prevent grass tetany. So if your cattle graze pastures where they have experienced grass tetany, magnesium oxide supplementation is necessary. Magnesium oxide is not very palatable and has been characterized as having a bitter taste. Livestock are often unwilling to consume it at recommended levels, making free-choice supplementation of magnesium oxide to grazing cattle sometimes a challenge. Feed companies have...

An in situ trial was conducted to evaluate effects of corn moisture and length of ensiling on dry matter digestibility (ISDMD) and degradable intake protein (DIP). Corn treatments consisted of dry-rolled, high-moisture, and reconstituted dry corn. Corn samples were incubated in situ for 22 hours and ISDMD (%) and DIP (% of CP) values were calculated. Both highmoisture and reconstituted corn had higher ISDMD and DIP values than dry-rolled corn. Dry matter digestibility and degradable...
