Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle
Author: Subcommittee on Beef Cattle Nutrition
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309069343
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
As members of the public becomes more concious of the food they consume and its content, higher standards are expected in the preparation of such food. The updated seventh edition of Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle explores the impact of cattle's biological, production, and environmental diversities, as well as variations on nutrient utilization and requirements. More enhanced than previous editions, this edition expands on the descriptions of cattle and their nutritional requirements taking management and environmental conditions into consideration. The book clearly communicates the current state of beef cattle nutrient requirements and animal variation by visually presenting related data via computer-generated models. Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle expounds on the effects of beef cattle body condition on the state of compensatory growth, takes an in-depth look at the variations in cattle type, and documents the important effects of the environment and stress on food intake. This volume also uses new data on the development of a fetus during pregnancy to prescribe nutrient requirements of gestating cattle more precisely. By focusing on factors such as product quality and environmental awareness, Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle presents standards and advisements for acceptable nutrients in a complete and conventional manner that promotes a more practical understanding and application.

Low-Fat Meats
Author: Harold D. Hafs
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0080918530
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
This treatise embraces all of the various efforts to reduce fat in meat. Establishing methods such as breeding and feeding to control fatness are covered, but emphasis is on emerging technologies including meat processing and partitioning agents to reduce fat. Human implicaitons, such as health, social, ethical, and economic factors, are given special attention. Sensory charcteristics of low-fat meat, animal well being, and two new directions for the future are also discussed. Low-Fat Meats: Design Strategies and Human Implications provides an up-to-date overview of the technologies to produce low-fat meat, with a balanced discussion of the issues.Paying speical attention to health, social ethical, and economic implications inherent in developing low-fat meats, this volume also discusses sensory characteristics of low-fat meat, animal well being, and new directions for the future.

Effects of Dietary Energy and Animal Frame Size on Feed Intake, Body Composition and Plasma Concentrations of Insulin and Leptin in Beef Steers

Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
A digestibility trial was conducted with cattle to determine dry matter and nutrient digestibility of the dietary treatments. Steers were placed in metabolism crates for total fecal collection in a 3 x 3 Latin Rectangle design repeated twice. A feedlot trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of the animal frame size and dietary energy concentration on dry matter intake, performance, body composition, and plasma concentrations of insulin and leptin. In addition, the study compared individual observed and predicted dry matter intake by equations of Perry and Fox (1997). Thirty-six beef steers were divided into two frame sizes, large and small, and fed individually with three dietary treatments. The experimental design was a 3 x 2 factorial design. Dietary treatments were 2.4, 2.7, or 3.0 Mcal of ME/kg of DM. The steers were weighed and ultrasound images were taken each 28 days. Daily DMI, ADG, feed efficiency, fat thickness, and longissimus muscle area were measured. Blood samples were also taken to assay for plasma concentration of leptin and insulin. Diets containing higher energy density had greater dry matter and organic matter digestibility than diets with lower energy density. Frame size did not affect significantly (P>.05) DMI, ADG, and feed efficiency. Energy density of diet affected significantly (P

Feed efficiency in swine
Author: John F. Patience
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9086867561
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
'Feed efficiency in swine' has been prepared as a comprehensive treatise on the current state of our understanding of this topic which is so important to the pork industry. Each chapter is written by international authorities who understand both the science and application of their topic area. The book provides detailed insight into the many factors affecting feed efficiency, ranging from diet processing to herd health, from nutrition to physiology and from day-to-day barn management to the adoption of advanced technologies. The authors explain such practical aspects as the challenge of interpreting feed efficiency information obtained on farm or the role of liquid feeding. The authors also delve into more scientific topics such as amino acid or energy metabolism or animal physiology. This book is written for people who have a technical interest in pork production, including nutritionists, geneticists, farm management specialists, veterinarians, other academics and, of course, pork producers.
