Combinations of rendered protein meals for growing calves

Article Abstract:

Effects of rendered protein meals in calves were studied. There were no differences in the digestibility of the protein sources studied. Meat and bone meal and feather meal were found to have more metabolizable protein than soybean meal, and produced larger average weight gains than the controls. There seems to be little difference in the quality of the available protein from blood meal and meat and bone meal. Tryptophan supplementation did not appear to have any effect on growth.

Effect of grain sorghum hybrid on in vitro rate of starch disappearance and finishing performance of ruminants

Article Abstract:

Results of a study indicated that rate of digestion of grain sorghum affect the nutritional value of sorghum in cattle feed. In vitro starch disappearance rates (IVSD) among 48 hybrids of grain sorghum was assessed. The possibility of manipulation of animal performance on the basis of IVSD estimates was also studied. Hybrids of grain sorghum were ranked according to the their starch content and IVSD and growth parameters of steers fed these hybrids was measured.

Plasma amino acid response to graded levels of escape protein

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine the possibility of using plasma amino acids broken line technique, on calves reared on escape proteins at graded levels, to ascertain limiting amino acids in cattle. Calves were fed a diet supplemented with urea, distillers' dried grains (DDG) and heat-damaged DDG. Results indicated that plasma protein response can be used to identify limiting amino acids following escape proteins supplementation.
