Article Synopsis
- Technologies like LUB (lubabegron) are critical for sustainable food production, helping reduce environmental impact without sacrificing livestock efficiency.
- The FDA approved LUB for use in feedlot cattle to decrease ammonia emissions while promoting weight gain during the last feeding stage.
- The study found significant reductions in ammonia emissions and improvements in carcass weight for cattle fed higher doses of LUB, with no adverse interactions observed based on dose and sex of the cattle.
Cattle mobility is routinely measured at commercial slaughter facilities. However, the clinical signs and underlying causes of impaired mobility of cattle presented to slaughter facilities are poorly defined. As such, the objectives of this study were 1) to determine the prevalence of impaired mobility in finished cattle using a 4-point mobility scoring system and 2) to observe clinical signs in order to provide clinical diagnoses for this subset of affected cattle.
