Teff grass for continuous stocking in the Southern High Plains by growing beef steers receiving protein supplements.

This experiment evaluated forage quality, total nutrient yield, water footprint, and growth performance of beef steers receiving protein supplements while grazing Teff grass ['Tiffany' (Zucc.) Trotter] over two consecutive growing seasons. Each year, four 2.

Comparison of monensin sodium sources for finishing beef cattle.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the ruminal fermentation characteristics of ruminally fistulated beef steers consuming a steam-flaked corn () or dry-rolled corn () based diet containing either Rumensin 90 (; Elanco, Greenfield, IN), or Monovet 90 (; Huvepharma, Peachtree City, GA). Six ruminally fistulated steers (657.7 kg ± 72.

Ruminal degradation kinetics, intake, digestibility, and feeding behavior of beef steers offered annual or perennial grass-hay with or without supplementation.

Effects of dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) on ruminal fermentation, degradation kinetics, and feeding behavior of steers offered annual (Eragrostis tef; TEFF) or perennial (Bothriochloa bladhii; OWB) grass hay were evaluated. Ruminally cannulated Angus crossbred steers (n = 6; body weight [BW] = 304 ± 11 kg) were assigned to a 4 × 6 unbalanced Latin square design with four treatments arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial: hay type (OWB or TEFF) and DDGS supplementation (0% or 0.5% BW [dry matter {DM} basis]).
