Brazle, F.K.Stokka, Gerald L.2010-09-152010-09-152010-09-15http://hdl.handle.net/2097/4961Long-hauled calves averaging 293 lb were allotted to groups fed with or without protected lysine-methionine (Smartamine ML®). Protected lysine-methionin e did not improve ADG in the first 28 days but did improve ADG from 29 to 56 days. It also reduced morbidity (16.1 vs 34.2%) from day 29 to 56. Based on this research, the response of long-hauled calves to protected lysine-methionine in the diet appears to occur after they have recovered from the stress of shipment.BeefLysineMethionineProtected amino acidsStocker calvesConference paper
