Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of wheat dried distillers grains and enzyme supplementation on growth rates, feed conversion ratio and beef fatty acid profile in feedlot steers.

TL;DR: It is suggested that inclusion of wheat DDGS in finishing diets may improve fatty acid profile of beef muscle which could benefit human health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of 3-nitrooxypropanol and monensin on methane production using a forage-based diet in Rusitec fermenters ☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of NOP and monensin on CH4 emissions in ruminants was evaluated using a forage-based diet, and the results showed that the combination of both did not produce an additive effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Farm scale modelling of greenhouse gas emissions from semi-intensive suckler cow beef production

TL;DR: HolosNorBeef as discussed by the authors was developed to estimate net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from suckler beef production systems in Norway by considering direct emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from on-farm livestock production including soil carbon (C) changes, and indirect N2O and CO2 emissions associated with leaching, volatilization and inputs used on the farm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of dietary soybean or sunflower seeds on milk production, milk fatty acid profile and yield of conjugated linoleic acid

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of feeding diets containing soybeans (SBS) or sunflower seed (SFS) on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) yield and concentration in milk during two 3-week periods were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of increasing diet fermentability on intake, digestion, rumen fermentation, blood metabolites and milk production of heat-stressed dairy cows.

TL;DR: A modest increase of diet fermentable improved nitrogen metabolism, milk protein production and oxidative stress of heat-stressed dairy cows, but a further increase in diet fermentability decreased milk yield.
