Journal ArticleDOI
Compensatory growth and carcass quality in growth-restricted and refed beef steers.
TL;DR: Beef steers were fed in two phases to determine the relative importance of changes in DMI, gastrointestinal tract fill, energy expenditures, and composition of gain in the compensatory growth phenomenon and to examine changes in carcass composition and quality resulting from different types of growth restriction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and chemical components of the empty body during compensatory growth in beef steers.
TL;DR: Reduced NEg requirements and changes in gut fill accounted for most of the compensatory growth response exhibited in these steers, and net energy requirements for growth were approximately 18% lower for CG steers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional management of replacement beef heifers: a review.
TL;DR: Systems to produce replacement heifers to calve initially at 2 yr of age and at 12-mo intervals thereafter require integrated forage-animal management plans and several management techniques were reviewed, including using anthelmintics, anabolic growth implants, and ionophores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of live weight gain of steers during winter grazing: I. Feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and body composition of beef steers
TL;DR: Differences in ADG during winter grazing and initial body fat content did not affect rate of live BW gain or gain efficiency during finishing, however, maintenance energy requirements during finishing were increased for nutritionally restricted steers that were wintered on dormant native range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects of feeding during calfhood on subsequent performance in beef cattle (a review)
TL;DR: There is no evidence that the composition of beef carcasses at slaughter can be manipulated at an early stage of development by means of feeding techniques, thus suggesting that the feeding treatments during calfhood have no long-term effect on this parameter.
