Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePathologies of Acute Interstitial Pneumonia in Feedlot CattleJose A. Valles, Michael D. Apley, Chris D. Reinhardt et al.Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP) is a costly issue that affects feedlot cattle. Research has yet to elucidate the etiology of AIP; therefore a case-control study was conducted to evaluate possible management and physiological factors that contribute to AIP in feedlot cattle. The experiment was conducted during the summer of 2011 in a commercial feedyard in Kansas. Animals exhibiting clinical signs … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2016 · 7,896 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Influence of Bedding Application in Feedlot Cattle: A ReviewDathan Thomas Smerchek, Zachary Kidd Foster SmithA sizable portion of cattle on feed in the United States are fed in the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains region where temperatures routinely fall below freezing during late fall, winter and early spring. The persistent cold temperatures coupled with snow accumulation, wind, moisture and ice can cause undesirable pen conditions for confined cattle, ultimately resulting in decreased insulative capacity … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2021 · 6,718 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Greater dose of Ractopamine Hydrochloride Enhances Feedlot Performance and Impacts Carcass Characteristics of Calf-Fed Holstein SteersJerilyn E. Hergenreder, Jonathon L. Beckett, Zachary K. Smith, Bradley J. JohnsonThe objective was to evaluate the effects of supplementing ractopamine HCl at the rate of 400 mg steer1 daily in the final 28 d of the feeding period on growth performance and carcass characteristics of Holstein steers. Steers (n = 1,498; initial BW = 547 kg) were randomly assigned to pens (10 pens/treatment) and to a treatment: (1) 0 mg∙steer1∙d1 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2021 · 6,832 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Texas Feed Yard Workforce: Survey of Stockperson Attitudes and Perceptions towards Euthanasia, Animal Care and Employee ValueEmily E. Ridge, Ron Gill, Courtney L. DaigleA survey was administered to Texas cattle feedyard employees (n =111) from 31 different operations measuring stockperson perception, job satisfaction and socioeconomic status using Likert statements and multiple-choice questions. Differences among employment roles (manager, pen rider, processor (those who vaccinate and implant incoming calves), doctor (non-veterinarians)) were evaluated using a Kruskal-Wallis test followed by a Multiple Comparison procedure. Managers strongly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 28 May 2019 · 7,745 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Performance of Replacement Heifers in Hot Arid Environment Under Intensive ManagementM. A. Razzaque, S. A. Mohammed, T. Al- Mutawa, M. BedairProblem statement: Imported Holstein Friesian dairy cattle are exposed to hot arid climate in feedlot management in Kuwait. Desert climate is extreme reaching high 45-50°C in summer and low -4ºC in winter at day and night respectively. High calf mortality, poor reproduction and milk yields were main constraints to viable dairying. The objectives of this study were to assess the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,983 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDietary Management Strategies to Mitigate Decreased Feed Intake Associated with Terminal Implant Administration in Finishing Beef SteersAlexandria Kelly, Warren Rusche, Forest Francis et al.Re-implanting with a terminal implant often reduces subsequent dry matter intake (DMI). Crossbred steers (n = 27, initial body weight = 385 ± 30.8 kg) were used to assess the effects of locomotion immediately after terminal implantation and increased forage inclusion 7-d post-implantation on feed and water intake, rumination, and activity. Steers were implanted with 100 mg trenbolone acetate and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2024 · 4,854 accessesView PDF Cite
