Abstract: Dark cutting or high-pH meat is a persistent

quality defect found in all meat species. Caused by a lack of

normal acidification of meat during rigor development, darkcutting is a direct consequence of low muscle glycogen at

slaughter. Glycogen breakdown in muscle may be rapidly

triggered by increased circulating adrenaline or by strenuous

muscular activity. In addition, glycogen is slowly depleted

during starvation. Any behaviour and environmetal

circumstances that trigger one or more of these glycogen

breakdown mechanisms will cause dark-cutting if the stress is

allowed to persist for sufficient time. Mounting activity is

the behaviour most closely associated with muscle glycogen

depletion and dark-cutting in beef. This behaviour is

stimulated by social regrouping, as in mixed penning of young

bulls, and also by oestrus in groups of females. Lairage

modifications aimed at reducing mounting activity during the

preslaughter period have been successful. Short-haul road

transport is not associated with dark-cutting in beef but

there is evidence that some lambs may be affected, even by

relatively short journeys. Long-haul road transport resulted

in small increases in beef final pH and these may be reversed

by resting and feeding before slaughter. Fasting did not cause

dark-cutting in beef or lamb; however, it lowered muscle

glycogen reserves, thus rendering an animal more susceptible

to dark-cutting from additional sources of stress. Fasting

also inhibited muscle glycogen resynthesis during recovery

after stress. There is a good theoretical basis, although

little experimental evidence, to link cold exposure with darkcutting meat. The use of beta-agonists as growth promoters may

increase the incidence of dark-cutting meat unless a

sufficient withdrawal period before slaughter is observed.

Rates of glycogen resynthesis are slower in ruminants than in

monogastrics, probably due to the lower availability of

glucose in ruminants. Although drug interventions were

Abstract: Mustering and other cattle management operations

are a significant cost for beef producers on extensive

properties in northern Australia. As a result, a range of

cattle handling equipment has been developed which uses animal

behaviour patterns to simplify some tasks. Two "animalpowered" devices were developed to automatically apply

parasite control chemicals to cattle as they passed through

one-directional spear gates. Both applicators were based on

wheel-driven pumps, and dispensed chemicals in proportion to

the length of contact between the device and the animal's

body. Application rates were within 10% of existing

recommendations for animals in the most common weight range of

250-500 kg. The applicators were simple to install and remove,

Abstract: Twenty-seven crossbred calves (1/2 Simmental, 1/4

Hereford, 1/4 Brahman) averaging 257 +/- 11 d of age were

either hot-iron-branded (H), freeze-branded (F), or shambranded (S). Calves were blocked for temperament, weight, and

sex and were randomly assigned to day and order in which

treatments were applied. To reduce stress from handling at

treatment time, each calf was herded through the squeeze chute

daily for 5 d before the experiment. Jugular cannulas were

inserted in each calf 1 d before application of treatment.

Blood samples and heart rate measures were obtained at -5, -3,

0, .5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min after application of the

treatments. Mean concentrations of plasma epinephrine (EPI)

were higher for H calves at time .5 min than for either S or F

calves (P = .10). To account for individual differences,

prebranding heart rates and hormone concentrations were

subtracted from subsequent samples and were also used to

calculate a proportion for each subsequent sample. Analyses of

subtracted values found that EPI concentrations were greater

for H calves than for either S or F calves (P = .007) at .5

min postbranding. No other differences were found for the

subtracted analyses. Analyses of proportion data also revealed

that H calves had greater EPI than did either S or F calves (P

= .027) at .5 min postbranding. Only three animals vocalized

during branding, one H calf and two F calves. Despite the 5-d

acclimation period, handling and restraint elevated plasma

cortisol concentrations and heart rate. Because restraint

elevated physiological indicators of stress, possible

treatment differences may have been masked. The greater

epinephrine response experienced by H calves indicates a

higher momentary pain sensation than that experienced by

either S or F calves.

Abstract: A bioeconomic model of a feedlot was developed for

the comparison of beef cattle genotypes under specified

management and marketing conditions. The optimization behavior

of commercial feedlot managers is incorporated into the model

using optimum economic rotation theory. The days spent in the

feedlot (rotation) by a group of animals are derived using

this theory so as to maximize an objective function.

Differences among breeds in the present value of profits from

a single rotation, expressed per animal, represent the

expected price premium paid for a feeder animal of a

particular breed. Feed requirements and growth rates for a

genotype are predicted over time for a specified diet from

estimated mature size. Estimates of carcass fatness over time

as a function of the energy content of the diet and estimates

of dressing percentage over time are used for each genotype. A

base model is described that incorporates biological

parameters estimated for 11 breeds from a major breed

comparison experiment and uses prices of inputs and outputs

for Ontario feedlots. Sensitivity of the model to these

biological and economic assumptions is shown. When breeds are

compared at constant days fed, weight, or fat depth slaughter

points, rankings are inconsistent, relative to those when each

breed is slaughtered at its optimal economic point. The model

can be used to establish appropriate slaughter end points for

comparing beef cattle breeds and crosses and to evaluate

breeding objectives for feedlot traits in genetic improvement

programs.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine

whether the occurrence of dark cutters and selected carcass

traits differ between pregnant and nonpregnant feedlot

heifers. Feedlot heifers (n = 8,292) were identified at

slaughter as being either nonpregnant, pregnant with a

moderate-sized fetus (midgestation), or pregnant with a large

fetus (late gestation). This was based on visual appraisal of

a gravid uterus at the evisceration table. After chilling (24

to 72 h), carcass data were collected. Cattle originated from

23 different commercial feedyards located within a 350-km

radius of a commercial slaughter facility located in southwest

Kansas. Across slaughter lots, the incidence of pregnancy

varied from 0 to 25% with an overall mean of 4.74%. Carcass

traits of heifers with moderate or large fetuses did not

differ (P > .15). Compared with carcasses from nonpregnant

heifers, carcasses from pregnant heifers were 4.5 kg lighter

(P < .01), had .11 cm more fat thickness (P < .01), and

exceeded the number of carcasses that graded Choice or Prime

by 6% (P < .01). Carcasses from pregnant heifers had higher

maturity scores (P < .01) and there was no incidence of dark

cutters (P < .01) compared with a 1.7% incidence of dark

cutters in carcasses from nonpregnant heifers. Any economical

advantage in the pregnant heifers due to their higher

percentage of Choice carcasses and lower incidence of dark

cutters may be offset by their increased carcass fat thickness

Abstract: A diverse array of secondary metabolites deters

feeding by mammals on woody plants. However, not all secondary

metabolites are equally deterrent and the potencies of these

substances as antifeedants is related to their structures.

Although the physiological reason underlying deterrence by

secondary metabolites is not well understood, the available

evidence indicates that toxicity is more important than

digestion inhibition. Resource limitation influences the

production of secondary metabolites by woody plants. Species

that are adapted to unproductive habitats are more chemically

defended than species that are adapted to productive habitats.

Resource limitation also affects the phenotypic expression of

chemical defense with nutrient stress favoring increased

production of carbon-based secondary metabolites and reduced

production of nitrogen-containing secondary metabolites. Light

stress has the opposite effects on the production of these

substances. Herbivory by mammals also affects the chemical

defenses of woody plants. In some cases browsing results in

increased defense and in others decreased defense. Three

circumstances under which browsing by mammals can change the

chemical defenses of woody plants are discussed.

Since derivatives in other functions correspond to parameters

of the quadratic, the results generalize. Explicit aggregation

from firm to market shows that properly specified aggregate

functions depend on firm numbers. To illustrate the results,

marginal and average cost functions for several dairy farms

are drawn to scale, noting that large farms get more output

per cow than small farms. Juxtaposing the cost curves with

trends in dairy farms by size shows the link between firmlevel profit and structural change.

Abstract: One hundred twenty crossbred beef steers averaging

377 kg were used in a 2 X 4 factorial experiment to determine

the dose-response effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin

(rbST) implants on growth performance and carcass

characteristics. The implant dosages were 0 (sham), 40, 80, or

160 mg/wk administered s.c. in the tailhead region on a weekly

basis throughout the experiment. The steers were fed a highconcentrate diet, which contained either a degradable (DP;

soybean meal) or an escape (EP; corn gluten and blood meal)

protein source. No dietary protein effect or dietary protein X

rbST level interactions were detected. Recombinant bST

decreased both DMI (P < .10) and feed/gain (P < .05) in a

linear dose-dependent manner. Dosage of rbST did not

significantly affect (P > .10) ADG or final weight of the

steers. Recombinant bST decreased backfat depth (P < .10),

marbling score (P < .05), and quality grade (P < .10) and

increased yield grade (P < .10) in a linear dose-dependent

manner. Soft tissue composition of the 9-10-11th rib section

was altered (P < .01) by rbST administration in a linear dosedependent manner. The percentage of protein in the rib section

was increased by 9.4% and fat was decreased by 11.8% at the

160 mg/wk rbST level compared with the sham-implanted steers.

Recombinant bST did not affect (P > .10) dressing percentage,

hot carcass weight, kidney, pelvic, and heart fat, or

longissimus muscle area. Serum insulin-like growth factor I

(IGF-I) concentrations in the steers exhibited a linear

response to dosage of rbST (P < .01). These data indicate that

rbST is an efficacious method of improving feedlot performance

and partitioning nutrient deposition in feedlot steers.

Abstract: Experimental lifetime performance data obtained

from 156 straightbred Hereford, Angus, and Shorthorn and 172

first-cross heifers were used to estimate heterosis for

economic efficiency in a 100-cow herd at age equilibrium under

three culling policies and at terminal ages from 6 to 12 yr.

All nonpregnant heifers and cows > 9 yr of age were culled.

The culling policy for removal of nonpregnant cows from second

parity through 9 yr of age were 1) no culling, 2) after two

consecutive years (actual), and 3) all (imposed). Efficiency

was calculated as input cost per unit of output value. A 10-yr

average was used for costs of replacement heifers, cow units,

and the ratio of calf-cull cow prices (PR), plus higher and

lower PR. Input included costs for both cow units and

purchased replacements. Output value included both weaned

calves and cull cows. Optimum terminal age was mainly a

function of PR: 9 yr for average and high PR, but 6 through 9

yr when PR was low, regardless of culling policy or breed

groups. Efficiency differences among culling policies were

small for high or average PR, but more culling for infertility

was beneficial when PR was low. Estimated reductions in unit

costs of output value under any culling policy or terminal age

were approximately 6% from crossbred cows plus another 6% from

crossbred calves, or a total of 12% from specific three-breed

crossing of these British breeds. Cost reductions would be

somewhat less for rotation crossbreeding but greater for

mating smaller crossbred cows with sires of superior growthHousing, Husbandry, and Welfare of Beef Cattle, QB 95-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20001115072500/http://www.nal.usda.gov/a...

Abstract: The effects of an implant of 140 mg of trenbolone

acetate and 28 mg of estradiol (TBA + E2) on performance and

carcass composition were evaluated with 72 individually fed

steers. Holstein (n = 24), Angus (n = 24), and Angus X

Simmental (n = 24) steer calves were allocated by breed and

implant treatment to either an individual feeding pen (n = 36)

or an electronic feeding door in a group pen (three pens with

12 animals per pen). Intake and refusal of the 85% concentrate

diet were recorded daily. Animals were slaughtered when

ultrasonic attenuation values of the longissimus muscle at the

12th rib reached .55, which is correlated with low Choice

marbling. At slaughter, complete carcass measurements were

taken and the right side of each carcass was separated into

boneless wholesale cuts. Implanting with TBA + E2 improved (P

< .01) daily gain and feed efficiency. Daily gain was

increased 17, 26, and 21% in Holstein, Angus, and crossbred

steers, respectively. The implant increased overall daily

protein and fat accretion 23%. Carcass conformation and

dressing percentage were not affected (P > .05) by TBA + E2

treatment. Implantation with TBA + E2 had little effect on

yield of wholesale boneless cuts when expressed as a

percentage of carcass weight but increased absolute weight as

a small degree of marbling by 6 to 40 kg.

Abstract: All significant properties of the herbivore trophic

level, including biomass, consumption and productivity, are

significantly correlated with primary productivity across a

broad range of terrestrial ecosystems. Here we show that

livestock biomass in South American agricultural ecosystems

across a 25-fold gradient of primary productivity exhibited a

relationship with a slope essentially identical to unmanaged

ecosystems, but with a substantially greater y-intercept.

Therefore the biomass of herbivores supported per unit of

primary productivity is about an order of magnitude greater in

agricultural than in natural ecosystems, for a given level of

primary production. We also present evidence of an increase in

livestock body size with primary productivity, a pattern

previously characterized in natural ecosystems. To our

knowledge this is the first quantitative documentation at a

regional scale of the impact of animal husbandry practices,

such as herding, stock selection and veterinary care, on the

biomass and size-structure of livestock herds compared with

native herbivores.

tree seedlings from cattle resulted primarily from trampling

rather than from browsing. Five and one-half percent of the

seedlings were damaged by cattle, of which 3.6% died. Browsing

by deer and elk caused the most growth loss. Overall damage

was greatest from non-animal causes. Seedling quality at the

time of planting, handling of the seedling, and droughty

conditions during the first two years of the study contributed

to this type of damage. Overall performance of the tree

seedlings were relatively poor. Total mortality to tree

seedlings resulting from all sources of damage was 43.6% for

the grazed treatment and 25.3% for the non-grazed treatment.

Abstract: Two trials (winter and summer) were conducted to

determine effects of fasting and transportation and

adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTED) administration on the

amount and source of weight lost by feeder steers. Sixteen

steers, in each of two experiments, were adapted to metabolism

status for 10 d, were fed medium-quality hay at 2.1% of BW for

3 d, and then were subjected to either fasting alone or

fasting plus transit for 48 h. In Exp. 1 steers were randomly

assigned to treatments. In Exp. 2 steers were blocked by age

(OLD or YOUNG) and assigned to treatments. Fecal and urinary

excretions accounted for 65 and 38% of the total weight lost

in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively. Fasting plus transit did not

consistently increase the amount of weight lost compared with

fasting alone but increased (P < .01) plasma glucose

concentrations. Injection of ACTH before either fasting alone

or fasting plus transit increased (P < .05) the amount of

weight lost as feces. Steers in the OLD group lost more weight

during transit and fasting but regained the lost weight faster

(P < .01) during the recovery period than did steers in the

YOUNG group. Injecting YOUNG steers with ACTH before fasting

alone or fasting plus transit increased plasma fibrinogen (P <

.10) and serum glucose (P < .05) concentrations more than ACTH

injections in OLD steers. Although fasting and transit elicit

mobilization of body nutrients and resulted in a loss of BW,

these effects were quickly reversed during the post-stress

period.

Abstract: Studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of

delayed implanting or the use of a low-dose implant followed

by a higher-dose implant in feedlot cattle. In the first

study, 150 steers were allotted to 15 pens (three

pens/treatment) and assigned to a nonimplant treatment

(control), a single zeranol (36 mg) implant (R), or a double

zeranol implant (DR) administered at the start of a 140-d

finishing period, or a single zeranol implant administered at

the start of an 80-d growing period, followed by a single (RR)

or double (RDR) zeranol implant administered at the start of

the finishing period. Steers managed under the DR, RR, and RDR

implant schemes had greater (P < .10) finishing period gains

and intakes than the control steer group. However, only DR and

RDR steer groups had improved (P < .10) finishing period feed

conversions compared with control steers. In combined growing

and finishing periods, the RDR steer group displayed the

lowest (P = .12) feed:gain ratio. In a second trial, conducted

concurrently to the zeranol trial, steers that did not receive

an initial implant containing 20 mg of estradiol benzoate plus

200 mg of progesterone (S) but were subsequently implanted

twice, once at the start of the finishing period and again 80

d later, had a lower (P < .11) finishing period feed:gain

ratio (6.08 vs 6.51) than steers implanted all three times. In

a third trial, implanting steers with one-half S vs S, at the

start of a 92-d growing period, resulted in improved (P < .05)

gain (1.63 vs 1.54 kg/d) and feed: gain ratio (5.86 vs 6.27)

in the subsequent finishing period, in which both groups

received S, but not over the entire feeding period. Compared

with using S alone, as a finishing phase implant, no

differences were found in performance or carcass quality from

using S in combination with trenbolone acetate. Delayed

implanting or using a low-dose implant during an initial

feeding period provides performance enhancement in subsequent

feeding periods; however, benefits are not great enough to

consistently show significant performance benefits over the

entire growing and finishing period.

Abstract: The productivity and well-being of animals can be

substantially affected by stress. This is particularly true in

the case of beef calves that are subjected to a multitude of

stressors over a short period during the first year of life.

Perhaps the most often studied stress-responsive variable has

been blood corticosteroid concentrations. Factors such as age,

gender, genetics, and degree of prior experience, can

influence how an animal perceives and responds to a given

stressor. Few studies have tried to control these variables,

and accordingly, many conflicting results have been published

regarding the impact of various stressors on cortisol

response. We measured baseline plasma cortisol concentration

over a 44-day study in Bos indicus and Bos taurus calves.

Plasma cortisol values in Bos indicus calves were higher

(32.60 +/- 0.66 ng/ml) than values in calves of Bos taurus

(25.81 +/- 0.76) breeding. A precipitous decrease in cortisol

concentration was observed 7 days after transport stress in

all calves. Baseline cortisol concentration did not provide

any indication of the intensity of the various stressors.

However, significant differences were readily observed after

ACTH administration. On the basis of cortisol secretion,

stresses of transport and weaning were similar and were the

most stressful to calves, regardless of genotype.

Abstract: Two postweaning feeding trials were conducted on

112 bull calves from a beef synthetic breed group to examine

the effects of postweaning level of dietary energy and change

in the level of energy on sex drive and semen quality of young

bulls in 1988 and 1989. Within each year, the test period was

168 d, which was divided in two periods of 77 d and separated

by a 14-d adjustment period. Within each year the bulls were

randomly assigned to eight pens. The pen population was

balanced with respect to age and weight of bulls. Bulls in

four of the pens were fed a high concentrate diet while those

in the remaining four pens were fed a low concentrate diet

consisting of one half of the high diet plus hay ad libitum in

the first period. After the adjustment period, the diets of

four pens of bulls were reversed from high to low or from low

to high resulting in high-high, high-low, low-high and low-low

dietary treatments. The year was a significant (P<0.05) source

of variation for all the components of libido score except for

number of services achieved. The effect of energy on

components of libido and libido score was not significant

(P>0.05). Bulls on high-high had significantly larger scrotal

circumference but exhibited poorer semen characteristics than

their contemporaries on high-low, low-high and low-low diets.

Even though feeding of high energy diet throughout the feedlot

test period showed a positive effect on scrotal circumference,

its effect on semen quality was negative. It was found that

feeding a low energy diet in either half of the feedlot test

period may prevent the detrimental effects of prolonged high

energy feeding on semen characteristics of young beef bulls.

Abstract: The pre-slaughter handling, behaviour and blood

composition of beef cattle at slaughter was studied in a

commercial slaughterhouse. The main problems identified were

the routine use of driving instruments and delays caused by

stoppages in the slaughter line. The plasma concentration of

cortisol at the time of slaughter was positively correlated

with the time spent standing still and with the time spent in

the pre-stun pen. The plasma activity of creatine kinase was

positively correlated with the time spent in the race, but no

correlations between creatine kinase and physical activity in

the race were found. The plasma concentration of glucose was

positively correlated with the time spent trotting and the

number of times that struggling occurred. The proportions of

cattle struggling, vocalizing and defaecating were greatest

when they were confined in the race and pre-stun pen. Cattle

kept overnight in the lairage had a greater concentration of

free fatty acids at the time of slaughter than those

slaughtered on the day of arrival. There were no other

significant differences in either the blood compositon or the

handling and behaviour of cattle kept overnight in the

lairage, compared with those slaughtered on the day of

arrival. Some of the handling problems observed were caused by

incorrect design of the handling facilities. There should be

some means of removing cattle from a race if delays are

encountered and some means of handling the cattle in the race

other than by using an electrical goad. The optimal dimensions

of races and passageways to prevent crowding and turning

around should be assessed at the design stage. Non-slip floors

are essential.

Abstract: Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the

effect of a soybean hull, soy lecithin, and soapstock mixture

on ruminal fiber and protein digestion, growth efficiency of

beef calves, and lactational performance of dairy cattle. An

initial mixing experiment determined that a 4:1 ratio (DM

basis) of soy lecithin:soapstock could be added to soybean

hulls at 15% (wt/wt, DM basis); this mixture had acceptable

mixing and handling characteristics. Dietary addition of a

mixture of 85% soybean hulls, 12% soy lecithin, and 3%

soapstock (DM basis; SLS) to provide 0, 3, 5, or 7%

supplemental fat resulted in a linear (P < .01) decrease in in

situ rate of ruminal NDF digestion with no effect on rate of

CP digestion. Daily gain, DMI, and feed efficiency (kilograms

of gain/kilogram of DMI) of growing beef calves were not

affected (P > .10) as graded levels of SLS replaced corn

grain. However, as graded levels of SLS replaced soybean

hulls, daily gain and feed efficiency increased linearly (P <

.01). Based on the results of these trials, Holstein dairy

cattle were fed four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets

that contained either high levels of nonfiber carbohydrates

(43%) and no added fat, 1% ruminally inert fat, a 6% level of

SLS, or a 12% SLS level (all on DM basis). Efficiency of 4%

fat-corrected milk production (kilograms of milk/kilogram of

DMI) was greatest for cows fed SLS at 6% of dietary DM. The

SLS mixture was an excellent source of fiber and vegetable

fat, comparable in feeding value to corn grain, for inclusion

in the diets of beef calves and dairy cows.

Abstract: Changes in performance traits in beef cattle over

the last 30 yr necessitate the reevaluation of central testing

procedures to ensure that they are cost effective and

appropriate for current test objectives. The objective of this

study was to evaluate the potential for reducing the length of

evaluation from 140 d to either 112 or 84 d. Data evaluated

were postweaning feedlot performance test records (collected

from 1977 to 1986) on 1,830 individually fed bulls. Bulls

representing 13 breeds (n > 25 per breed) were evaluated in

the University of Arkansas Cooperative Bull Tests at

Fayetteville, Hope, and Monticello, Arkansas. Models were fit

for ADG, daily feed intake (FI) and feed conversion (FCONV)

from d 1 to d 140 (ADG1-140, FI1-140 and FCONV1-140,

respectively) and from d 1 to d 112 (ADG1-112, FI1-112 and

FCONV1-112, respectively). Models fit for ADG1-140, FI1-140,

and FCONV1-140 using information up to d 112 had R2 of .90,

.99, .88, and .94, respectively, and using information up to d

84 had R2 of .82, .94, and .80, respectively. Spearman rank

correlation coefficients (all P < .0001) were .93 for ADG1-140

and ADG1-112, .93 for ADG1-112 and ADG1-84, .99 for FI1-140

and FI1-112, .91 for FCONV1-140 and FCONV1-112, and .90 for

FCONV1-112 and FCONV1-84. These coefficients indicate that

bulls ranked similarly for performance traits at 84, 112, and

140 d. If the primary objective of central station testing is

to evaluate ADG during the linear phase of growth, and if

testing procedures are those currently recommended by the Beef

Improvement Federation, then feeding bulls beyond 112 d has no

advantage because the information upon which selection

decisions are made is similar at both 112 and 140 d.

Abstract: Successful reproduction is dependent on a host of

macro- and micronutrients and ceases well before an animal

expires from deficiency of a particular nutrient. This review

focuses on the functional roles phosphorus, vitamin A and

beta-carotene, protein, and energy play in reproductive

processes. Although it is not known whether deficiencies of

these nutrients limit reproduction through common or discrete

mechanisms, appropriate quantities of these nutrients are

required for optimal reproduction. Mechanisms through which

nutritional status is perceived by the hypothalamic-pituitarygonadal axis remain unclear but seem to impinge on

hypothalamic regions that selectively regulate production and

release of pituitary trophic hormones. Body condition, or

degree of fatness, seems to be the most reliable indicator of

well-being of an animal, and when coupled with changes in BW,

provides a useful method to assess reproductive potential.

Abstract: A 5-yr study was conducted involving the placement

of yearling steers on feed at 2-mo intervals under three

different housing systems. A total of 3,571 steers (180 pens)

initially average 318 kg was used. Evaluations were made for

DM intake ADG, feed efficiency (FE), carcass quality (QG), and

yield grades (YG). Cattle were assigned to either an open lot

with overhead shelter (S), an open lot without overhead

shelter (NS), or an open-front confinement building (C). Each

treatment consisted of two lots of 20 steers each per interval

per trial. Corn grain provided 85% of the energy; the

remainder was supplied by corn silage arid protein supplement.

Cattle were fed 140 to 180 d to achieve an average slaughter

weight of 500 kg. The main effects of year (Y), month (M), and

housing (H) affected DM intake, ADG, FE, and final live weight

(P <.01). The interactions for Y X M, M X H and Y X M X H

affected ADG (P <.05). Month and H affected hot carcass weight

(P < .01). Year affected YG, and year and month affected QG (P

< .01). Month effects on DM intake and ADG indicated that

cattle started in May had the highest intake and ADG (P < .05)

and that cattle started in November had the lowest (P < .05)

DMI and ADG. Month effects on FE indicated that cattle were

most efficient when placed on feed during March, May, and July

(5.82, 5.72, and 5.66 kg DM/kg gain; P < .05). Housing effects

indicated that S cattle had the highest DM intake, ADG, and FE

(7.79, 1.29, and 6.15 kg; P < .05) and that C had the lowest

DM intake and ADG (6.97 and 1.09 kg; P < .05). Body

composition, as determined by YG and QG, was relatively

unaffected by the season or housing. These results indicate

that starting time on feed and housing system significantly

influenced cattle feedlot performance without influencing body

composition.

Abstract: The effects of dietary energy and recombinant

bovine somatotropin (bST) on pattern of LH release, follicular

development, and onset of puberty were studied in 40 Angus

heifers. At 7 mo of age, heifers were assigned to a 2 X 2

factorial experiment; the main effects were dietary energy

(high [HDE]: 14.15 Mcal of ME/d or moderate [MDE]: 10.84 Mcal

of ME/d) and somatotropin (bST; 350 mg every 2 wk or vehicle).

Beginning at 9 mo of age, heifers were observed twice daily

for estrous activity. From 10.5 to 12 mo of age, five heifers

from each treatment group were selected for weekly ultrasound

examination of ovarian structures and biweekly sequential

blood sampling to determine concentrations of LH. Somatotropin

treatment altered intermediary metabolism in a manner

consistent with enhanced accretion of lean tissue and

decreased deposition of fat. The HDE heifers were younger (P <

.001) at puberty than the MDE heifers, but BW at puberty was

not different among treatment groups. Age and body weight at

puberty were not affected by bST. Frequency of LH pulses

increased within the 10.5 to 12 mo of age sampling window in

HDE-treated heifers but not in MDE heifers (dietary energy X

month of age; P < .02). Secretion of LH was unaffected by bST.

Ovaries of bST-treated heifers tended (P < .09) to have fewer

follicles > 5 mm in diameter than those of vehicle-treated

heifers. We conclude that chronic treatment with bST did not

alter age at puberty or pattern of LH release in heifers and

that even modest differences in energy intake influence the

timing of the prepubertal increase in pulsatile LH release.

Abstract: In 2 studies, plasma, erythrocyte, and neutrophil

alpha-tocopherol concentrations were monitored in beef cattle

after shipping, handling, and sample collection. On the basis

of alpha-tocopherol results, an additional 2 studies were

designed to measure the effects of administration of

adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and epinephrine on the

alpha-tocopherol concentration in the aforementioned blood

constituents and on creatine kinase (CK) activity in Holstein

calves. In the first of these studies, 15 beef cattle that had

recently arrived at the feedlot consumed feed supplemented

daily with 1,000 IU of dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. Values for

initial blood samples indicated that CK activity was high.

Although plasma alpha-tocopherol concentration indicated that

vitamin supplementation was adequate, RBC and neutrophil

alpha-tocopherol values were generallynondetectable. After 4

weeks of supplementation, plasma alpha-tocopherol

concentration increased (P < 0.05), and neutrophil and RBC

alpha-tocopherol values became measurable in most of the

cattle. In the second study, 6 beef heifers had decreased (P <

0.05) plasma, RBC, and neutrophil alpha-tocopherol values

after multiple periods of handling and blood sample

collection. In the third and fourth studies, 10 tamed Holstein

heifer calves, 5 of which were administered ACTH and

epinephrine to simulate stress effects on blood alphatocopherol concentrations and CK activity. In study 3, the

vitamin E-adequate heifers had increased blood CK (P < 0.001)

activity and cortisol (P < 0.01) concentration, and decreased

(P < 0.05) neutrophil alpha-tocopherol concentration after

hormone injections. In study 4, when vitamin E-deficient

calves received the aforementioned hormones, CK activity

increased (P < 0.05) and RBC alpha-tocopherol concentration

decreased (P < 0.05), whereas plasma and neutrophil values did

not change. These results indicate that shipping and handling,

or the stress paradigm of ACTH and epinephrine injections, may

reduce the alpha-tocopherol content of plasma, RBC, and

Abstract: Cattle respond to the feeding of stable flies,

Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), by bunching to protect their front

legs. This bunching can increase heat stress which indirectly

accounts for much of the reduction in cattle weight gains. We

used fly-screened, self-contained feedlot pens which allowed

regulation of fly populations feeding on cattle. The indirect

fly effects (bunching and heat stress) accounted for 71.5% of

the reduced weight gain. The direct effect of the biting flies

and energy loss involved in fighting flies accounted for 28.5%

of the reduced weight gain.

Abstract: Seventy-two Holstein steers averaging 182 kg were

assigned randomly to one of six treatment groups: 1)

nonimplanted controls (C); 2) implanted with 36 mg of zeranol

(Z); 3) implanted with 20 mg of estradiol benzoate and 200 mg

of progesterone (EP); 4) implanted with 140 mg of trenbolone

acetate (TBA); 5) implanted with 140 mg of trenbolone acetate

plus 20 mg of estradiol benzoate and 200 mg of progesterone

(TBA + EP); and 6) implanted with 140 mg of trenbolone acetate

plus 36 mg of zeranol (TBA + Z). Each treatment group

consisted of three replications of four animals per pen, which

were implanted on d 0, 56, 112, and 168. Masculinity and

muscling scores were assigned at 24 h preslaughter. Hide

removal difficulty was scored by a plant supervisor. Quality

and yield grade data were obtained at 24 h postmortem.

Longissimus muscle (LM) steaks were removed and cooked for

Warner-Bratzler shear (WBS) determinations and sensory panel

(SP) evaluations. Over the entire feeding period (249 d), TBA

+ EP steers had higher (P < .05) ADG than TBA + Z, TBA, and C

steers. All treatments had higher (P < .05) ADG than C, with

the exception of TBA. The only feed efficiency differences

were those following the 168-d implant time, when TBA steers

were more (P < .05) efficient than TBA + Z or C steers. The

TBA + EP and TBA + Z steers were more (P < .05) masculine and

their hides were more (P < .05) difficult to remove than those

of EP and C steers. Carcass weights of TBA + EP steers were

heavier (P < .05) than those of TBA or C steers. The TBA + EP

steers had larger (P < .05) LM areas than Z, TBA, and C

steers. Also, TBA + EP steers tended (P = .07) to have lower

numerical yield grades than EP, Z, or C steers. Even though

mean marbling scores and quality grades were similar (P > .05)

among treatment groups, only 50% of TBA + EP carcasses graded

low Choice or higher, compared with 100, 75, 82, 90, and 83%

Abstract: A static model of developed water use for U.S.

cattle production was constructed on a spreadsheet. Water use

included that consumed directly by various classes of animals,

water applied for irrigation of crops that are consumed by the

cattle, water applied to irrigated pasture, and water used to

process animals at marketing. Government statistics were

consulted for numbers of cattle and crop production. The most

recent statistics available for numbers of cattle and crops in

individual states were used. On January 1, 1992, a total of

33.8 million beef cows and 5.7 million replacement heifers

were in U.S. breeding herds, 12 million animals were on feed,

and approximately 28 million animals were fed annually. Thus,

the U.S. beef cattle herd produced 6.9 billion kg of boneless

beef. Beef cattle directly consumed 760 billion L of water per

year. Feedlot cattle were fed various grain and roughage

sources corresponding to the regions in which they were fed.

Feeds produced in a state were preferentially used by cattle

in that state with that state's efficiency; any additional

feedstuffs required used water at the national efficiency.

Irrigation of crop feedstuffs for beef cattle required 12,991

billion L of water. Irrigated pasture for beef cattle

production required an additional 11,243 billion L of water.

Carcass processing required 79 billion L of water. The model

estimates 3,682 L of developed water per kilogram of boneless

meat for beef cattle production in the United States. The

model was most sensitive to the dressing percentage and

percentage of boneless yield in carcasses of feedlot cattle

(62 and 66.7, respectively). A 10% change in either of these

parameters resulted in a corresponding 8.6% change in the

water required for beef production. A 10% increase in the

number of animals on feed resulted in a decrease in the amount

of water per kilogram of boneless beef by 5.2%. Changes in

were unrestricted; however, 100 heifers were saved as

replacements. Cows were removed for reproductive failure, age

(> 10.5 yr), or death. Calves produced in the cow-calf segment

were fed in a custom feedlot to four slaughter end points: 440

d, 457 d, 288-kg carcass weight, and low Choice. All animals

were fed to requirements. Cull cows were slaughtered after

weaning. Biological and economic efficiencies improved with

crossbreeding; however, rankings of breed combinations

depended on how efficiencies were measured (weight, lean, or

value basis). Among purebreds, reproductive performance had a

large influence on breed rankings at age and weight end

points, whereas feedlot performance was important at the low

Choice end point. Crossbred combinations involving British (A

or H) and Continental (C or S) breeds were more efficient than

other crossbred combinations at all end points. However,

choosing specific breed combinations for integrated systems

depends on slaughter end points, market end points (weight vs

lean), and measures of efficiency (weight, lean, or value

basis).

Abstract: Large-framed Simmental and Charolais steers were

actively immunized against growth hormone-releasing factor

(GRF) to evaluate the effect on growth, carcass

characteristics (especially intramuscular fat deposition), and

concentrations of somatotropin (ST) and IGF-I.Primary

immunizations of 1.5 mg of GRF-(1-29)-Gly-Gly-Cys- NH2

conjugated to 1.5 mg of human serum albumin (GRFi, n = 12) or

1.5 mg of human serum albumin (HSAi, n = 12) were given at

approximately 10 mo of age. Booster immunizations of .5 mg of

the appropriate antigen were given at d 49 and 125. Weights of

steers administered GRFi were less (P < .05) than those given

HSAi at 126 d (34.6 kg) or at 262 d (48.2 kg) after treatment.

Carcass weights were 28.2 kg less (P < .01) for GRFi than for

HSAi steers. Dry matter intake was not affected by

immunization treatment, whereas feed efficiency was reduced in

GRFi steers. Marbling scores were higher (P < .05) for HSAi

than for GRFi steers but similar percentages (83.3) of both

treatments graded Low Choice or higher. Rib sections of GRFi

steers contained more fat (31.2 vs 25.0%) and less lean (63.3

vs 68.4%) than those of HSAi steers (P < .05). A breed X

treatment interaction was observed for percentage of fat

within the trimmed longissimus muscle (P < .05); percentage of

fat was similar for Charolais and Simmental steers when

immunized against HSAi but was higher for Simmental than for

Charolais when immunized against GRFi. Reduced serum ST, IGFI, insulin, and plasma glucose concentrations and higher urea

nitrogen values were observed in GRFi compared with HSAi

Abstract: In response to stressors, the central nervous

system of livestock (and other mammalian species) evokes

physiological responses that ultimately result in activation

of the hypothalamopituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis and the

sympatho-adrenal axis. The responses of these major systems

are presumed to have adaptive and homeostatic value during

periods of stress. The major hormone regulating the synthesis

and secretion of adrenal glucocorticoids is ACTH. In sheep,

cattle, and pigs, both corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)

and vasopressin (VP) participate in the regulation of

secretion of ACTH, and the two peptides seem to interact to

enhance that secretion. In cattle and pigs, CRH is the more

potent peptide, whereas VP is the more potent in sheep. In

addition to its better-known role in regulating pituitary

function, CRH also may participate as a neurotransmitter

acting centrally to enhance sympathetic activation of the

adrenal medulla. Many experimental models of stress have been

evaluated that reliably activate the HPA axis and the

sympatho-adrenal medullary axis, and some of these model

systems also reduce functions of cells of the immune system.

Recent data support an important role of stressor-activation

of the sympathetics rather than increased glucocorticoids per

se in modulating some measures of immune function in response

to stress. Thus, current dogma of glucocorticoids as the

primary mediator of stressor-associated alteration in immune

function of domestic livestock may require reevaluation.

Abstract: Challenges and near-term opportunities for growth

research are examined in light of the needs and concerns for

those who will ultimately accept, utilize and pay for new

technology for growth promotion. The challenge from the

livestock producer is for new ways to improve feed

utilization. That from the consumer is to reduce fat and

cholesterol content of meat without substantially changing

taste, texture or price. Challenges arising from various

segments of society include the need to ensure product safety

and animal welfare, particularly with respect to recombinant

DNA technology. The animal science community is challenged to

contribute to development of regulatory policy regarding

application of new technology to animal growth. Additionally,

government decisions can challenge the long-term research

planning process. The use of beta-adrenergic agonists, peptide

hormones and growth factors and development of ways to manage

gonadally intact males are suggested as near-term

opportunities for growth research.

Language: English

Transport of animals; Animal welfare

Abstract: Lorry drivers are exposed to a wide range of

mechanical vibrations and random motions. The seat and

sometimes the cab suspensions are designed to reduce vibration

exposure. Nevertheless drivers are often subjected to

considerable discomfort occurring within minutes of starting a

journey. The frequencies and axes of vibration which occur at

a driver's seat are often close to those of maximum discomfort

for the human. On a livestock transporter, the interfaces

between the animals and the vehicle are not designed to reduce

vibration and it is possible that animals are subjected to a

higher vibration magnitude than the driver. However, nothing

is known of the discomfort or welfare levels experienced by

livestock (e.g. cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry) during

transport as the result of vibration and motion. This paper

draws analogues with subjective evaluations of human comfort

and poses a number of questions which must be addressed by

research in order to quantify vibration dose, animal welfare

response relationships. The primary requirement is to

determine to what extent frequency dependent response

weightings for the most important axes of vibration are

necessary for each animal species and to determine how they

should be defined. This would enable a comparison to be made

between the experiences of humans and animals.

floor and of the types and numbers of microorganisms acquired

by the animal on the farm or during the period of

transportation to the slaughter house. These microorganisms

may include those able to cause illness in the consumer, or

microorganisms responsible for spoilage of the product.

Considerable progress has been made in reducing contamination

at slaughter and thereby extending the shelf-life of meat. In

contrast, international statistics still clearly show that

meat and meat products are responsible for a major proportion

of all foodborne infections. This latter aspect is not

determined by the overall number of microorganisms present but

by the bacterial composition of the. animal's gut flora at

slaughter. Preventive quality assurance along the whole

productions and processing line is therefore the only

effective means of controlling the microbiological safely and

quality of meat. This includes, hazard analysis techniques to

identify critical control points and procedures for monitoring

the microbiological status of both animals and carcasses since

most of the critical points cannot be totally controlled. At

early stages in the production line, colonisation of meat

animals with pathogens should be prevented. Subsequently, good

slaughter practices will ensure carcasses of good overall

microbiological quality. This paper deals with microbiological

monitoring systems that can be used at different stages of

production and processing to control the microbiological

quality of poultry and pig meat.

Abstract: The effect of implanting trenbolone acetate and

estradiol 17 beta on feedlot performance and carcass

characteristics of finishing steers was studied. A lactose- or

cholesterol-based pellet containing 140 mg trenbolone acetate

and 28 mg estradiol was implanted in yearling steers fed a

high-roughage diet consisting of corn silage and supplement

for 140 d. There was a 20% increase (P< 0.05) in rate of gain

from the use of the implant in either base. A second implant

with a lactose base given at the mid-point of the feeding

period improved daily gain by an additional 7.5%. Dry matter

intake was similar among control cattle and those receiving

the different implants. Feed efficiency was improved (P <

0.05) by the lactose-base and the cholesterol-based implants.

Use of the two lactose-based implants resulted in 23%

improvements in feed efficiency, compared to the control

cattle. Hot carcass weights were heavier (P < 0.05) for

implanted cattle but carcass quality grades were lower (P <

0.05). Ribeye area was increased (P < 0.05) by the

cholesterol-base and the two lactose-based pellets. These data

indicate that combined androgenic-estrogenic anabolic implants

enhanced feedlot performance and tended to increase edible

lean and reduce fat in the carcass.

Abstract: Changing the body composition of beef has

implications for the entire beef production system. The

dynamic nature of an animal's body composition and the

production system itself make predictions of the implications

of genetic change in body composition difficult. The cow-calf,

stocker, and feeder segments of the production system will be

affected differently. Leaner cattle tend to be slaughtered at

heavier weights. Heavier weights effectively reduce

composition differences of slaughter beef to less than the

genetic differences. The effects of four pricing scenarios on

slaughter weight and composition were evaluated for two leaner

genotypes, one with no change in marbling and one with reduced

marbling. A genetic difference of 1.0 yield grade at the same

carcass weight resulted in slaughter beef that differed by .4

to 1.0 yield grade because of increased slaughter weights.

Separate analyses suggested the stocker segment of beef

production will be least affected by changes in body

composition. Genotypes that are best fitted to slaughter

requirements will have the most flexibility in types of

stocker systems that can be used. The cow-calf segment of beef

production has several options to adapt to leaner cattle.

Management to reduce nutritional stress on leaner cows may be

required by some producers. Increased selection for

reproductive traits in cow genotypes may be needed. An

alternative to selection for reproduction is terminal crossing

to partially disassociate the slaughter animal's genotype from

the cow's genotype.

suffer from fescue toxicosis. Adult Angus cows (Bos taurus)

were fed 0 to 1 kg/d of 70% infected tall fescue seed

containing about 4.4 g of loline alkaloids in factorial

combination with thiamin at 0 or 1 g/d. Cows assigned to the

zero level of tall fescue seed received a supplement of

equivalent energy and protein. Ingestive behavior was measured

at 1330 to 1430 EDT during two 4-d periods in two consecutive

weeks in August on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) pastures using

a tethered grazing system. Alfalfa intake per measured grazing

session of cows given tall fescue seed declined linearly (P <

.01) as air temperatures during grazing increased above 25

degrees C, largely because of shorter grazing meals. Thiamin

increased alfalfa intake per measured grazing session by

extending grazing time. Alkaloids in ingested endophyteinfected tall fescue induce thiamin deficiencies in cattle

that result in symptoms of tall fescue toxicosis.

Abstract: Three roughage sources (bermudagrass hay,

cottonseed hulls and soybean straw) were evaluated using

weanling beef heifers for preference, voluntary intake and

performance during wintering trials. In trial 1, when given

access to all three roughage sources, heifers preferred (P

less than .05) bermudagrass hay (7.3 kg/d) to either

cottonseed hulls (.2 kg/d) or soybean straw (.1 kg/d). In

trial 2, voluntary intakes of the roughage sources fed

individually and unsupplemented were higher for bermudagrass

hay (P less than .05) than cottonseed hulls, which was greater

(P less than .05) than soybean straw. During the winter

performance trial (trial 3), heifers consuming the

bermudagrass hay diet had heavier (P less than .01) final

weights (255 vs 235 kg) and higher (P less than .01) daily

gains (.36 vs .15 kg) than heifers fed other roughage-based

diets. Cottonseed hull diets produced heifers with higher

daily gains and final weights (P less than .01) compared with

soybean straw diets. Corn added to the diets of either

cottonseed hulls or soybean straw increased (P less than .05)

heifer gains and final weights. Performance of heifers on all

diets, except soybean straw, was acceptable. Heifers receiving

Abstract: The establishment and evaluation of an assessment

system to accredit sonographers for measuring the carcass

traits of subcutaneous fat depths and longissimus muscle area

(LMA) on potential breeding animals by real-time ultrasound is

described. Repeatability of operators, variation between the

animal's left and right sides, and variations in technique

were assessed from measurements and repeat measurements of 30

cattle by up to eight operators at three testing sessions.

Accuracy of carcass data was determined by repeatability of

measurements, variability between measurers, between left and

right sides of the carcass, and variation due to handling and

dressing procedures. Correlations with carcass data averaged

.92 for rump fat, .90 for rib fat, and .87 for LMA. Residual

SD averaged .81 mm, .88 mm, and 5.1 cm2. A very experienced

sonographer can measure LMA only marginally less accurately

than it can be measured on the carcass. In Session 3, the SE

between repeat fat measurements for accredited sonographers

averaged .43 mm, indicating that fat depths can be measured

more accurately, but when comparing measurements from

different operators, adjustments may be required for

differences in technique, otherwise overall accuracy will be

about the same, approximately 1 mm. Scanned rump fat

measurements were consistently approximately 20% higher than

on the chilled, hanging carcass 24 h after slaughter; after

applying the standard correction factor of 1.17, LMA

measurements were similar. Scan and carcass rib fat

measurements were similar for animals with less than or equal

to 10 mm of fat cover, above which carcass measurements tended

to be higher.

Susceptibility; Economic impact

Abstract: Aflatoxins, a family of closely related,

biologically active mycotoxins, have been known as a prominent

cause of animal disease for 30 yr. The toxins occur naturally

on several key animal feeds, including corn, cottonseed, and

peanuts. Occurrence of aflatoxin on some field crops tends to

spike in years when drought and insect damage facilitate

invasion by the causative organisms, Aspergillus flavus and A.

parasiticus, which abound in the crop's environment. Acute

aflatoxicosis causes a distinct overt clinical disease marked

by hepatitis, icterus, hemorrhage, and death. More chronic

aflatoxin poisoning produces very protean signs that may not

be clinically obvious; reduced rate of gain in young animals

is a sensitive clinical register of chronic aflatoxicosis. The

immune system is also sensitive to aflatoxin, and suppression

of cell-mediated immune responsiveness, reduced phagocytosis,

and depressed complement and interferon production are

produced. Acquired immunity from vaccination programs may be

substantially suppressed in some disease models. In such cases

the signs of disease observed are those of the infectious

process rather than those of the aflatoxin that predisposed

the animal to infection. Mixtures of aflatoxin with other

mycotoxins can result in greatly augmented biological

responses in terms of rate of gain, lethality, and immune

reactivity. Because of its great biological activity, its

widespread potential presence in areas where critical feed

crops axe grown, and its propensity to spike in problem years,

aflatoxin promises to be a continuing problem in animal

production.

Abstract: Heifer and steer progeny of 2-yr-old first-cross

(F1) heifers and 3- to 6-yr-old F1 cows, from Hereford dams

and five sire breeds, were evaluated for postweaning feedlot

growth and carcass composition. Breeds of sire of dam were

Angus (A), Red Poll (RP), Tarentaise (T), Simmental (Sm), and

Pinzgauer (P). Calves from 2-yr-old heifers were sired by

Shorthorn, and calves from 3- to 6-yr-old dams were sired by

Charolais. Breed of sire of dam was significant (P < .05 to P

< .01) for total gain and final weight for female progeny from

2-yr-old dams. At all weights, Sm, P, and T ranked above A and

RP. Progeny of A, P, Sm, and T F1 2-yr-old dams were not

significantly different but were higher (P < .05) than RP

heifers in total feedlot gain. Breed of sire of dam was

significant (P < .05) for carcass weight and longissimus

muscle area; T ranked highest and RP lowest. Breed was not

significant for any growth traits of steer progeny of 2-yr-old

dams. Breed was significant for marbling score; A ranked

highest and exceeded (P < .01) both RP and Sm steers. Breed

was significant (P < .05) for most growth traits in the heifer

progeny of the 3- to 6-yr-old dams bred to Charolais sires.

Heifer calves of the Sm group were heavier (P < .05) than all

other groups for most weights and total gain. For total gain,

P and T were intermediate and A and RP lowest. For heifer

carcass traits from 3- to 6-yr-old dams, breed was significant

(P < .05 to P < .01) for carcass weight, longissimus muscle

area, percentage of cutability, and estimated kidney, heart,

and pelvic fat. Heifers from Sm-sired dams were heavier (P <

.05) than those from all other groups but ranked second to

heifers from P for percentage of cutability. Marbling scores

of RP heifer carcasses ranked highest of all groups. Breed was

not significant (P > .05) for any of the weights or gains in

steer progeny of 3- to 6-yr-old dams; however, the Sm and P

groups ranked above A and RP for all feedlot test weights.

Abstract: A previous version of Lone Star Tick Simulation

Model (LSTSIM) for a wildlife ecosystem was revised and

expanded to include a beef cattle forage area and improved

handling of tick-host- habitat interactions. Relationships

between environmental and biological variables were also

refined in the new version. General validity of the revised

model was established by comparing simulated and observed

host-seeking populations of Amblyomma americanum (L.) at five

geographic locations, three in Oklahoma and two in KentuckyTennessee. Additional validity was indicated from comparisons

of simulated and observed seasonality of lone star ticks at

one location in Kentucky. The model produced acceptable values

for initial population growth rate, generation time, and 15-yr

population density when historical weather files for 14

locations in the United States were used. The model of A.

americanum population dynamics was used to study the

relationship between tick density and density of white-tailed

deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmerman), and cattle. The

revised model can be used for additional simulation studies on

effects of tick control technologies and integrated management

strategies.

Abstract: Feedlot and carcass traits of nulliparous and

primiparous females representing eight breed types, including

Bos taurus and Bos indicus X Bos taurus crosses, were

evaluated. Nulliparous females (heifers) were in the feedlot

for 4 mo; primiparous females (heiferettes) were fed for 2 1/3

mo after their calves were weaned at 6 mo of age. Heifers

averaged higher (P < .01) in dressing percentage, percentage

of kidney fat, carcass grade (P < .10), and color of lean (P <

.05) compared with heiferettes. Heiferettes exceeded the

nulliparous group in feedlot ADG (P < .01), fat thickness (P <

.05), and percentage of steak, roast, and bone (P < .01).

Parity effects on carcass weight, longissimus area, marbling,

pH, and shear force value were not statistically significant.

Dam breed types differed in several traits, including marbling

(P < .05) and percentage of steak (P < .10), roast (P < .01),

and bone (P < .01). Dam breed X parity interactions were

nonsignificant. Results show that beef derived from

heiferettes is competitive with heifer beef.

Abstract: Since short duration grazing (SDG) was introduced

to Texas, concern for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus

virginianus) has magnified because they are a species of major

economic importance to ranchers. The objective of this study

was to observe the effects of SDG and continuous yearlong

grazing (CG) on home ranges and movement indices of female

deer, and on forage availability. The study was conducted on

the Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Refuge, near Sinton, Texas.

The study area included a 10-pasture SDG cell and a CG

pasture, each stocked at 2.8 ha/auy. Cattle grazed each SDG

paddock 2 to 8 days; paddocks were rested 32 to 47 days. A

total of 3,961 radio-fixes from 11 does was collected over an

11-month study period in 1983. Monthly and annual home ranges

of does were similar (P > 0.05) between SDG (207 ha) and CG

(229 ha). However, white-tailed deer traveled 35% more (P <

0.05) between fixes in SDG (449 m) than in CG (332 m) from May

to August, a time of greatest physiological and nutritional

stress for female deer in south Texas. Also, does avoided (P <

0.05) cattle during 2 cycles of the SDG rotation. The primary

trend observed was for the deer under SDG to avoid cattle

concentrations by alternating between preferred habitats

rather than a predictable paddock-to-paddock movement. In

general, there were few differences in total grass and forb

cover between SDG and CG. However, several forage species

important to deer were less frequent (P < 0.05) under SDG than

CG.

Abstract: Nonpregnant F1 crossbred cows, progeny of either

Hereford (H) or Angus (A) dams and sired by Brahman (Bm),

Sahiwal (Sw), Pinzgauer (Pz), H or A sires, were fed to

maintain initial weight while rearing Charolais (C)-sired

progeny for a period of 126 d in drylot commencing at about 48

d postpartum. Cow-calf pairs were assigned to equalize cow

age, calf sex, and breed of cow's dam among three replicate

pens of approximately 12 pairs each. Cows and calves were

weighed every 2 wk and feed intake was adjusted to minimize

change in cow weight. Metabolizable energy (ME) consumption

for zero cow weight change was estimated by regression. Milk

production was estimated by weigh-suckle, weigh at 58, 85,

125, and 170 d of lactation. Calf gain (GAIN, kg) relative to

cow weight (CWT 1, kg) was higher (P < .01) for calves from

Bm-X (139.5/585) and Sw-X (132.2/534) than for calves from PzX (127.2/552) and HA-X (116.9/547) cows. Estimated mean daily

production of milk was 7.40, 7.15, 7.28, and 6.37 kg for the

Bm-X, Sw-X, Pz-.X, and HA-X, respectively. Total cow ME intake

(TME cow) for breed groups ranked (P < .05) with cow size and

milk production, and calf creep-feed intake (FME calf) was

inversely related to estimated milk intake. Proportion of

total feed ME (TME cow+calf) consumed by calves was higher (P

Abstract: The development of different traits was studied in

tropical beef bulls of seven genotypes (Brahman, Africander,

British and combinations of these) from approximately 500 to

910 d of age. Bulls were raised under pasture conditions

without supplementation. At each examination, approximately 2

mo apart, bulls were weighed, palpated (including scrotal and

testicular measurement), electroejaculated, and subjected to

two libido tests with estrus-induced females. At alternate

examinations, plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) was measured at

30 and 150 min post gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)

injection (LH - 30 and LH - 150) and testosterone (T) was

measured at 150 min (T - 150). In general, nutritional and

environmental stressors appeared to impede bull reproductive

development. Scrotal circumference increased nonlinearly,

apparently influenced by puberty and average daily gain (ADG).

Libido increased overall, albeit nonlinearly also. No apparent

marked differences in development of either trait could be

attributed to genotype differences, although Brahman bulls

tended to display lower sexual interest. The LH-30 level was

relatively high (>14 ng/ml) at 500 and 640 d of age, but then

dropped markedly at 760 d followed by a slight recovery. The

LH-150 level followed a similar pattern, although d was very

low at 500 d of age. The T-150 level showed a reverse pattern,

being lower initially and higher in the latter part of the

study. No apparent genotype differences occurred. Possible

contributory influences on these patterns, including the onset

of puberty and sexual maturity, season and nutrition, are

discussed herein.

Abstract: A total of 268 crossbred, 6- to 9-mo-old, bull

calves (214 +/- 19 kg) were used in two separate 27-d

experiments to assess the effects of butorphanol and xylazine

administration (BXA) on the subsequent performance and health

of beef calves. In each experiment, calves were randomly

allotted to four treatment groups: 1) castration with BXA, 2)

castration without BXA, 3) no castration with BXA, and 4) no

castration without BXA. There were two replicates within each

experiment. The intravenous administration of .07 mg/kg of

butorphanol and .02 mg/kg of xylazine occurred 90 s before

tail hold and castration procedures. Calves were placed in a

squeeze chute and manually restrained by tail elevation. In

Exp. 2, the cattle also were scored for chute activity (on a 1

to 5 scale with 5 being the most active). Cattle were weighed

at the beginning and end of the experiment, feed intake was

recorded daily, and cattle were monitored daily for

respiratory disease. There were no castration X BXA

interactions (P > .51). Castration reduced (P < .01) daily

gain and gain/feed and tended (P = .13) to reduce feed intake.

The administration of BXA had no effect (P > .05) on gain or

gain/feed but did tend (P = .13) to reduce feed intake. No

differences (P > .45) were observed in morbidity or mortality

due to either BXA or castration. Castration and BXA increased

(P < .01) blood cortisol levels on d 3, whereas control

animals had reduced cortisol levels. Castration increased (P <

.05) haptoglobin levels on d 3, but BXA had no effect (P >

.05) on serum haptoglobin concentrations on d 3. Chute

activity was reduced (P < .05) by castration and BXA. In this

study, animal performance was reduced by castration. The

administration of BXA did not alter stress indicators or

improve performance of castrated bull calves. Serum

haptoglobin may be a more specific indicator of the

inflammatory process in cattle, whereas serum cortisol may be

an indicator of the whole-body stress response.

Abstract: Opinions on expected support of animal breeding and

genetics research into the next decade were requested from

heads of Departments of Animal Science and directors of

agricultural experiment stations in the Southern Region and

from directors of agricultural experiment stations outside the

Southern Region. A majority of administrators in all three

groups expect a reduction in assignment of state appropriated

funds for beef cattle breeding research compared with total

support available. Cattle numbers and land areas assigned to

breeding and genetics research may be more limited in the

future. Directors of agricultural experiment stations expect

animal breeding scientists to work more closely with

scientists in biotechnology and to become more involved in

multidisciplinary research to reduce the costs associated with

maintaining large herds of cattle. Departments of Animal

Science do not expect to reduce significantly the number of

animal breeding positions, but they may reassign some that

come open to balance departmental opportunities. Animal

breeding scientists will be needed to educate graduate

students, teach classes, and handle research responsibilities

as in the past.

Abstract: Data from 1,277 single and 85 twin calvings,

occurring in both spring and fall from 1980 through 1987, were

used to examine the productivity and profitability associated

with twin births in beef cattle. Pregnancies in pure and

crossbred cattle resulted from both AI and embryo transfer.

Cows and calves were confinement-housed. Cows were

individually fed to specification. Calves were given ad

libitum access to creep feed and those born in 1986 and 1987

were fed to slaughter. The influence of birth number on

gestation length, total calf birth and weaning weights,

lactation yield, and cow feed intake during both the dry and

lactating periods was examined. Twin-bearing cows had their

gestation length shortened by 6.4 d (2%); yielded 25.5 (59)

and 186.0 kg (73%) more weight of calf at birth and weaning,

respectively; had lactation yield and lactation feed intake

increased by 25 and 20%, respectively; and had precalving

(dry) period feed intake no different from their singlebearing counterparts (P = .12). Postweaning growth was not

different for single and twin calves (P = .50); twin gain,

relative to initial size, was higher. Feedlot feed intake of

twins was 85% of that for singletons (P = .20). Twins were 90%

of singleton live weight at slaughter and yielded 93% of

singleton hot carcass weight (P = .12). Twins were slightly

older and significantly leaner at slaughter. Returns less feed

costs showed twin births to be associated with increased

profit for cow-calf programs. Returns less feed and overhead

costs were higher for twin calves than for singles in the

feedlot.

Abstract: Two beef production systems were evaluated in

conjunction with an evaluation of escape protein sources for

finishing calves. Two hundred forty crossbred steers and 80

crossbred heifer calves (BW = 267 +/- 2 kg) were split into

two groups: 1) control, finished (207 d) after a 3-wk feedlot

adjustment period and 2) grazing cornstalks for 74 d after a

3-wk feedlot adjustment period, then finished (164 d).

Finishing treatments were sources and proportions of

supplemental CP: 1) urea 100%; 2) soybean meal (SBM) 100%; 3)

blood meal (BM) 50%, urea 50%; 4) feather meal (FTH) 50%, urea

50%; 5) SBM 50%, FTH 25%, urea 25%; 6) SBM 25%, FTH 38%, urea

37%; 7) FTH 25%, BM 25%, urea 50%, and 8) FTH 38%, BM 13%,

urea 50%. Treatments 1 to 8 were fed in dry-rolled corn (DRC)-

based diets. Treatments 9 and 10 were supplement Treatments 1

and 7 fed in diets based on high-moisture corn. Calves

finished after a 74-d period of grazing cornstalks consumed

more feed (P < .01) and gained faster (P < .01) but were less

efficient (P < .05) than calves finished directly after

weaning. Although not statistically different, calves finished

after grazing cornstalks and supplemented with natural protein

in the feedlot were 7% more efficient than calves supplemented

with urea alone. Efficiency of calves finished directly after

weaning was similar for calves supplemented with natural

protein or urea alone. Supplementing SBM/ FTH/urea or

BM/FTH/urea improved feed efficiency compared with

supplementing FTH/urea alone. These data suggest that allowing

calves to graze cornstalks before finishing is a possible

management option, but this system may require more

metabolizable protein in the finishing diet to maximize feed

efficiency if the calves are expressing compensatory growth.

farming; Selection criteria; Literature reviews

Abstract: Domestic farm animals play an important role in

meeting some basic needs of humankind, especially food and

clothing. The aspects of genetic improvement programs in

livestock production pertinent to animal welfare and animal

well-being are reviewed. A link is made between the

evolutionary processes of adaptation and domestication and

animal well-being. Animal behavior is a component of all

these. Thus, the genetics of behavior may provide clues to the

well-being of farm animal populations, and it will also be of

relevance to public opinion issues of animal welfare. Many

expressions of behavior by domestic livestock may be

influenced by those processes that change gene as well as

genotypic frequencies such as inbreeding, drift, and

artificial selection. The environment in which the individual

lives will also play a role, along with the interaction

between genotype and environment. Selection for or against

such behaviors as aggressiveness, docility, response to

stress, and certain sexual behaviors in some livestock species

has often been successful. This points to the existence of

additive genetic variation for behavior, and scope for the

inclusion of behavioral traits into selection programs, if

these measures are shown to be related to welfare. Negative

relationships between behaviors associated with well-being and

traits of economic importance have been reported in most

livestock species. However, estimates of genetic parameters,

especially genetic correlations between objective measures of

well-being and production traits, are scarce. There have been

no comprehensive studies of the welfare of transgenic animals

reported in the scientific literature. Increased use of

biotechnology in animal agriculture, coupled with greater

public scrutiny of livestock industries, may precipitate

decisions concerning the interface of behavior and genetics

that need to be addressed before scientists can conduct

appropriate experimental evaluations.

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to determine the

efficacy of various doses of rbST on ADG and feed efficiency

(FE) and to describe carcass composition changes in finishing

beef steers. In Exp. 1, 96 crossbred beef steers (393 kg)

received daily i.m. injections of buffer or 33, 100, or 300

microgram/kg of BW of rbst (0ST, 33ST, 1OOST, 300ST). In Exp.

2, 200 crossbred beef steers (417 kg) received daily i.m.

injections of buffer or 8.25, 16.5, 33, or 66 microgram/kg of

BW of rbST (0ST, 8.25ST, 16.5ST, 33ST, 66ST). Treatments were

administered until steer BW per pen averaged 540 kg in Exp. 1

and 560 kg in Exp. 2. An 86% concentrate:14% roughage diet was

fed once daily (CP: 16.5% in Exp. 1, 20.2% in Exp. 2). In Exp.

1, growth performance of steers receiving rbst was dosedependent; ADG changed linearly (P = .01), DMI decreased

linearly (P = .03), and FE changed quadratically (P < .03).

The 33ST steers responded with improved ADG and FE, 100ST with

improved FE, and 300ST with lower ADG and poorer FE, compared

with 0ST. In Exp. 2, the ADG response was quadratic (P = .01),

DMI decreased linearly (P = .003), and FE improved

quadratically (P = .004) with increasing dose of rbst. Steers

receiving 16.5ST and 33ST responded with improved ADG and FE,

whereas steers receiving 8.25ST and 66ST responded with

improved FE but not ADG relative to 0ST steers. In Exp. 1 and

2, rbST administration altered carcass composition by

increasing carcass protein and decreasing carcass fat. Our

results indicate that a daily dose between 16.5 and 33

microgram/kg of BW was required to optimize both ADG and FE in

finishing beef steers; however, the dose response for changes

in carcass chemical composition had not attained a plateau

even at 300 microgram/kg of BW.

Abstract: A reflective roof coating was demonstrated to

reduce temperatures by 2 to 3 degrees C (3.6 to 5.4 degrees F)

in totally enclosed poultry housing with no ventilation.

However, similar results did not occur in studies of wellventilated poultry and dairy housing. Reductions in roof

temperatures of well-ventilated housing did occur, but similar

reductions were not found in interior dry bulb or black globe

temperatures at animal level and no production benefits

resulted. Reflective coatings can reduce the temperature of

galvanized steel roofing material and the temperatures of

enclosed attics. However, these coatings add expense to

structures and their effectiveness drops rapidly with time as

they weather and accumulate dirt. They are most beneficial for

poorly ventilated structures. For well-ventilated structures,

they do not offer great benefits. The addition of reflective

coatings will seldom be economically justified for wellventilated livestock and poultry structures.

Growth; Soil water; Plant competition

Abstract: On conifer plantations, competitive understory

vegetation often retards growth and establishment of tree

seedlings. Livestock grazing exemplifies a method of

controlling the understory vegetation and increasing the

availability of site resources to tree seedings. We

hypothesized that prescribed cattle grazing ameliorates water

stress of young tree seedlings by reducing root growth of

competing understory species. On a Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga

menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa

Dougl.) plantation in southwest Oregon planted in 1986,

seedling water stress was evaluated with the pressure chamber

technique and supplemented with gravimetric sod water

determinations in 1986-1989. Root growth of orchardgrass

(Dactylis glomerata L.), the major understory competing

species, was quantified in 1988 and 1989 with the root

periscope/mini-rhizotron technique. Seedling water stress

levels during spring and summer were similar in a cattlegrazed vs. ungrazed area in 1986 through 1988, but in summer

1989, water stress was reduced significantly in the grazed

area. Soil water content was higher in the grazed area in

1989, especially at the 10-20 cm soil depth. End of season

(July) orchardgrass root growth was reduced 18% and 15% with

grazing in 1988 and 1989, respectively. We conclude that

repeated cattle grazing of orchardgrass reduced

transpirational surface area and root growth sufficiently to

increase soil water availability to seedlings. Thus,

prescribed cattle grazing on conifer plantations can enhance

seedling physiological status by acting as a regulator of

above- and belowground competition.

Abstract: This study determined the influence of the

estrogenic ear implant Synovex-S on feedlot performance,

tissue deposition, and thyroid status of growing-finishing

beef steers implanted either once or reimplanted. The pattern

of implant absorption was also determined. Two 112-d feeding

trials were used with 48 Hereford steers per trial, Each trial

was a randomized block design with eight groups (lots) of six

steers each assigned to four treatments (two lots/treatment).

Treatments were 1) no implant or control, 2) implanted on d 0

and reimplanted at 60 d on trial, 3) implanted at 30 d on

trial, and 4) implanted on d 0 only. These implant treatments

resulted in withdrawal periods before slaughter of

approximately 60, 90 and 120 d for Treatments 2, 3, and 4,

respectively. All steers were given ad libitum access to water

and a 60% concentrate diet. Group intakes were determined

daily, BW weekly, estimated body composition every 28 d,

plasma thyroid hormone concentrations at 112 d and at

slaughter, and carcass measurements and liver tissue

deiodinase at slaughter. Approximately 25% of the original

implant dose remained in the ear 60 d after implanting and

this residual amount was absorbed linearly at the rate of

approximately .15% of the original dose per day. Implant

treatments increased (P < .05) DMI, BW gain, feed conversion,

and empty body gains for water and protein. Carcass

measurements suggested a nonsignificant trend (P > .10) for

leaner carcasses for implanted steers. An immediate shift

toward greater protein and less fat deposition occurred within

28 d after initial implanting (Treatment 3). The ratio of

plasma thyroxine to triiodothyronine was slightly higher and

liver deiodinase slightly lower in implanted steers. There

were no differences between the steers implanted once and

those reimplanted at 60 d. These data are interpreted to show

no benefit to reimplanting beef steers at 60 d with Synovex-S.

Abstract: We tested whether resistance of lymphocytes to heat

stress is modified by breed, intracellular glutathione

content, and extracellular antioxidants. In the first

experiment, lymphocytes from Angus (Bos taurus, non-heattolerant), Brahman (B. indicus, heat-tolerant), and Senepol

(B. taurus, heat-tolerant) heifers (12 heifers per breed) were

cultured at 45 degrees C for 3 h to evaluate thermal killing,

at 42 degrees C for 12 h in a 60-h phytohemagglutinin-induced

proliferation test, and at 42 degrees C for 1 h to measure

induction of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). Killing at 45

degrees C was affected by breed X temperature (P < .01); the

decrease in viability caused by a temperature of 45 degrees C

was greater for Angus than for Brahman or Senepol. For

phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes, heating to 42

degrees C reduced [3H]thymidine incorporation equally for all

breeds. Viability at the end of culture was affected (P <

.001) by a breed X temperature interaction because the

decrease in viability caused by culture at 42 degrees C was

greatest for lymphocytes from Angus heifers. Heat shock for 1

h at 42 degrees C caused a two- to threefold increase in

intracellular concentrations of HSP70, but there was no

interaction of temperature with breed. In another experiment

(with lymphocytes harvested from three Holstein cows),

buthionine sulfoximine, a glutathione synthesis inhibitor,

inhibited (P < .01) proliferation of phytohemagglutininstimulated lymphocytes at 38.5 and 42 degrees C. Addition of

the antioxidants glutathione or thioredoxin to culture did not

reduce the effects of heating to 42 degrees C on

proliferation. In summary, lymphocyte resistance to heat shock

differed between breeds. There was no evidence that this

effect is caused by differential HSP70 synthesis. Although

intracellular antioxidant status affected lymphocyte

proliferation, exogenous glutathione or thioredoxin did not

overcome the effects of heat shock.

Wastes; Management; Techniques; Floor type; Waste treatment;

Litter; Anaerobic conditions; Prevention; Ammonia; Emission

Abstract: Malodorous emissions from livestock buildings are

caused by waste products, particularly manure. The published

information on how waste management practices influence odour

production and emission has been reviewed, but the shortage of

objective odour measurements makes it difficult to give

practical recommendations with confidence. Some

recommendations for research are, however, proposed. The main

factors in livestock management have been analysed; these are

waste removal, waste decomposition, design of the floor of the

building, treatments that may be applied to the waste within

the building (e.g. changing its pH) and the use of bedding

materials. The interactions between most of these factors

confound the analysis, but the evidence indicates that the

main options for reducing odour production, odour emission or

odour nuisance are frequent waste removal from buildings, or

the prevention of anaerobic conditions developing in the

waste. Reduction of the moisture content of the waste has been

reported to reduce odour production. This may work by

inhibiting the development of anaerobic conditions and it may

explain why the use of bedding has been found to reduce odour.

However, adequate odour measurement data on using different

bedding materials and on other waste management practices must

be gathered before any firm conclusions can be drawn. The

relevance of information on emissions of ammonia from

livestock buildings is briefly considered. Although ammonia

concentrations in air do not show a good correlation with

odour strength, nevertheless any step taken to reduce the

ammonia emissions from a livestock building ought also to

reduce the odour emissions and vice versa.

Abstract: The impetus to find alternative methods to

stressful routine management procedures has increased in

recent years in the hope of improving animal welfare. The

potential of using depigmenting compounds to create a

permanent visible mark was evaluated in two beef heifers.

Eight compounds (hydroquinone [H], 4-ethoxyphenol [4-EP], 4-

methylcatechol [4-MC], 4-tert-butylcatechol [4-t-BC], 4-

methoxyphenol [4-MP], monobenzone [M], hydroquinone bis (2-

hydroxyethyl) ether (HHEE), and catechol [C]) were injected

intradermally at concentrations of 10 and 20%. These compounds

were screened in four different carriers (ethanol, glycerol,

propylene glycol, and liposome cream) to test their

effectiveness in producing depigmented hair. Transdermal

dermal patches containing 5, 7, and 10% liposome preparations

of 4-MC and 4-MP produced depigmentation, but this

depigmentation was not as visible as when the same

preparations were injected. Histological examination of

biopsies and observations of the injected sites were compared

to sites that were only injected with the carrier solution.

Compounds H, 4-EP, 4-MC, 4-t-BC, 4-MP, and M produced visible

depigmentation lasting up to 3 mo. The duration of the effect

seemed dependent on the hair cycle length and stage of cycle

at time of application. None of the depigmenting compounds

tested produced a permanent depigmenting effect.

Abstract: A course is described in which students are taught

principles of livestock behavior and how an understanding of

behavior can facilitate handling. Some of the principles that

are covered in the course are livestock senses, flight zone,

herd behavior during handing, and methods to reduce stress

during handling. To teach problem solving and original

thinking, the students design three different types of

handling facilities. Design of restraint equipment and humane

slaughter procedures are also covered. Both existing systems

and ideas for future systems are discussed. Students are

provided with information from both scientific studies and

practical experience.

Abstract: Two experiments were conducted at three locations

to determine the correct dosage and carrier for trenbolone

acetate (TBA) and estradiol (E2) implants in feedlot steers.

In the dose-response experiment, 1,296 steers were allotted to

six implant treatments (48 pens per location): control, 140 mg

of TBA (140/0), 30 mg of E2 (0/30), 20 mg of TBA + 4 mg of

E2(20/4), 80 mg of TBA + 16 mg of E2(80/16), and 140 mg of TBA

+ 28 mg of E2 (140/28). In the carrier experiment, 575 steers

were allotted to five implant treatments (25 pens per

location): control, 140 mg of TBA + 28 mg of E2 in lactose

(140/28-LA), 140 mg of TBA + 28 mg of E2 in cholesterol

(140/28-CH), 140 mg of TBA + 20 mg of E2 in LA (140/20-LA),

and 200 mg of progesterone + 20 mg of E2 benzoate (SS,

reimplanted). In both experiments steers were fed a finishing

diet for 140 to 168 d. In the dose-response experiment,

response to TBA alone (140/0) did not differ from control (P >

.2). Estradiol alone (0/30) improved ADG by 7% (P < .01) and

tended to improve feed efficiency over control (3%, P = .17).

The highest dosage (140/28) improved ADG by 18% (P < .001) and

feed efficiency by 10% (P < .001) over control and 10% (P <

.001) and 7% (P < .01) over E2 alone, respectively. In the

carrier experiment, all implant treatments increased steer

performance over control (P < .01); no differences in response

were observed (P > .2) between LA and CH carriers or between

28 and 20 mg of E2 in combination with 140 mg of TBA. Implant

treatments, in general, decreased (P < .05) carcass fatness

and quality grade; little difference was noted in carcass

characteristics between E2 alone and treatments containing

TBA. Combinations of TBA/E2 were more effective enhancers of

steer performance under U.S. conditions than was either E2 or

TBA alone (Exp. 1), and combinations were similar to SSreimplanted (Exp. 2).

Abstract: Handling livestock can be a hazardous and

frustrating operation especially when access to the animal is

required for procedures such as pregnancy testing of cattle or

other reproductive examinations. A handling facility that

gently restrains the animal in an adjustable dimension cage

can contribute to a smooth operation and increased safety for

the operator as well as the animal. A system was designed to

mechanically adjust the width of the cage and the position of

the front restraint so the cage precisely fits the animal and

positions the animal against the leg bar at the rear of the

cage. The width and position can be changed over the entire

span of each motion control device and can be adjusted for

each animal after the animal is in place. The system has been

tested at the Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research

Laboratory. Cattle are handled easily with a minimum of stress

and the controls are easy to operate.
