Betaine supplementation for finishing cattle

Löest, C.A.; Coetzer, C.M.; Hunter, R.D.; Lambert, B.D.; Titgemeyer, Evan C.; Drouillard, James S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-23)

Crossbred heifers (756 lb) were used to evaluate the effects of feed-grade betaine on animal performance and carcass characteristics. Heifers had ad libitum access to a finishing diet without betaine or with 4, 8, or ...
Branched-chain amino acids for growing cattle limit-fed diets based on soybean hulls

Löest, C.A.; Lambert, B.D.; Trater, A.M.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-06)

This study evaluated the effects of branched-chain amino acids on nitrogen retention and plasma branched-chain amino acid concentrations. Five ruminally cannulated Holstein steers (387 lb) were used in a 5 × 5 Latin ...
Effect of glycine supplementation on sulfur amino acid use in growing cattle

Lambert, B.D.; Löest, C.A.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-04)

Previous research has suggested the possibility that the supply of glycine, a nonessential amino acid, might affect how efficiently cattle use methionine. This study was conducted to determine the role of glycine on ...
Effect of methionine supplementation on methionine metabolism in growing cattle

Lambert, B.D.; Löest, C.A.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-04)

Methionine is often the first limiting amino acid for growing cattle. This study was conducted to determine how methionine metabolism is regulated in the liver of growing steers. Six ruminally cannulated steers were used ...
Effects of nonprotein nitrogen source in blocks on rumen parameters of steers fed prairie hay

Löest, C.A.; Lambert, B.D.; Trater, A.M.; Titgemeyer, Evan C.; Drouillard, James S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-06)

Six ruminally cannulated steers (1012 lb) were fed prairie hay ad libitum supplemented with cooked molasses blocks that contained either 60% crude protein 83% of which came from urea (UREA block) or 60% crude protein with ...
Effects of nonprotein nitrogen source in blocks on intake and digestion of prairie hay by steers

Löest, C.A.; Drouillard, James S.; Lambert, B.D.; Trater, A.M.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-06)

This intake and digestion study evaluated source of nonprotein nitrogen in cooked molasses blocks supplemented to 18 steers (590 lb) with ad libitum access to prairie hay, Treatments were 1) control (no block), 2) ...
Improving the utilization of soybean hulls by cattle with digestive enzyme and dietary buffer supplementation

Löest, C.A.; Tigemeyer, E.C.; Johnson, B.J.; Trater, A.M.; Lambert, B.D.; Drouillard, James S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-06)

Four ruminally cannulated Holstein steers (749 lb) were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square experiment to evaluate the benefits of supplementing digestive enzymes and dietary buffers to a soybean hull-based diet fed to steers ...
Response of Holstein steers fed a soybean hull-based diet to amino acid supplementation when the methionine requirement was met

Lambert, B.D.; Löest, C.A.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-06)

A study was conducted to determine the response to amino acid supplementation when the first limiting amino acid (methionine) was provided in excess. Three ruminally cannulated Holstein steer calves (281 lb) were fed ...
Soybean hulls and alfalfa for limit-fed cattle

Trater, A.M.; Löest, C.A.; Lambert, B.D.; Titgemeyer, Evan C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-08-06)

We evaluated the optimal level of alfalfa inclusion in limit-fed, soybean hull-based diets. Steers were fed soybean hull-based diets containing 0 to 30% alfalfa or alfalfa alone. Feed intakes were lower for alfalfa than ...
