Objective

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation with calcium magnesium carbonate (CMC), tylosin phosphate (TYL), or both on rumination behavior, growth performance, liver abscess prevalence, and carcass characteristics of yearling beef steers.

Materials and Methods

Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial including CMC and TYL. Beef steers (n = 156; 469 ± 18 kg) were assigned to 1 of 20 pens. Di- etary inclusion of CMC was included at 1.5% of the diet (DM basis) in replacement of dry-rolled corn, and TYL was provided at 90 mg per steer/d. Growth performance was calculated on a carcass-adjusted basis (hot carcass weight/0.625). Data were analyzed as a randomized com- plete block design with fixed effects of CMC, TYL, and their interaction; block was a random effect.

Results and Discussion

Dry matter intake was 4.9% less when CMC was fed and 1.6% greater when TYL was fed. Carcass weight tended to be lighter with CMC supplementation compared with CON (432 vs. 439 kg). Supplementation of TYL tended to reduce the percentage of abscessed livers by 55.7%.

Implications and Applications

These results indi- cate that supplementation of CMC did not result in any improvements in growth, carcass, or dietary net energy utilization, but TYL supplementation tended to reduce liver abscess prevalence.

本研究旨在评估补充碳酸钙镁(CMC)、磷酸泰乐菌素(TYL)或两者对一岁肉牛反刍行为、生长性能、肝脓肿发病率和胴体特征的影响。肉牛(n = 156;469 ± 18 千克)被分配到 20 个栏中的一个。日粮中以 1.5% 的比例(DM 基础)添加 CMC,以替代干轧制玉米,每头牛每天添加 90 毫克的 TYL。生长性能按胴体调整值(热胴体重/0.625)计算。数据采用随机整群设计进行分析,CMC、TYL 及其交互作用具有固定效应;区块为随机效应。结果与讨论饲喂 CMC 时,干物质摄入量减少 4.9%,饲喂 TYL 时增加 1.6%。与对照组相比,添加 CMC 的胴体重量更轻(432 kg 对 439 kg)。这些结果表明,补充 CMC 并没有改善生长、胴体或日粮净能利用率,但补充 TYL 有降低肝脓肿发病率的趋势。

Objective

My objective was to summarize 16 original research manuscripts and 1 perspectives and commentary contribution that were submitted, peer reviewed, and ac- cepted in this Special Issue on liver abscesses in cattle.

Materials and Methods

A summary of key points made in the Special Issue articles is provided. Additional conclusions and thoughts about future directions of re- search to address liver abscesses (LA) in cattle are offered. Results and Discussion: This Special Issue represents the current understanding of the etiology, blood chemis- try biomarkers, dietary and management strategies, and mitigation strategies for LA in cattle used in the feedlot industry throughout the United States and Canada. Sev- enteen articles from researchers and industry professionals studying LA in cattle are included, with studies ranging from practical dietary intervention strategies to experi- ments designed to understand the mode of action and the etiology of LA development.

Implications and Applications

Liver abscess disease is a multifactorial, polymicrobial disease that affects mul- tiple organ systems within the body, reflecting complex interactions among the host, environment, and pathogens. The pathogenesis of this disease needs to be further exam- ined, and basic and applied research approaches should be employed to advance our understanding of liver abscesses in cattle.

目标我的目标是总结已提交、经同行评审并纳入本特刊的关于牛肝脓肿的 16 篇原始研究手稿和 1 篇观点与评论文章。还提供了其他结论和对未来解决牛肝脓肿(LA)问题的研究方向的思考。结果与讨论:本特刊反映了目前对美国和加拿大饲养业中使用的牛的病因、血液化学生物标志物、饮食和管理策略以及缓解 LA 的策略的理解。该书收录了研究人员和业内专业人士撰写的十七篇研究牛 LA 的文章,研究范围从实用的饮食干预策略到旨在了解 LA 作用模式和病因的实验。我们需要进一步研究这种疾病的发病机制,并采用基础和应用研究方法来加深我们对牛肝脓肿的了解。

Objective

Our objective was to isolate and determine prevalence of Fusobacterium varium in liver abscesses and the corresponding ruminal and colonic epithelial tissues and ruminal and colonic contents of feedlot cattle.

Materials and Methods

A total of 96 intact liver abscess samples and matched ruminal and colonic tissues and contents from cattle, originating from feedlots that did not receive in-feed tylosin, were collected at slaughter. Liver abscesses and ruminal and colonic tissue were ho- mogenized and then plated, before and after enrichment in lactate or lysine medium with selective antibiotics, onto blood agar and selective lactate or lysine agar for isolation of Fusobacterium and to determine prevalence and concentration. Putative colonies were tested by a quantitative PCR assay targeting the hgdA gene for species confirma- tion.

Results and Discussion

None of the liver abscess samples yielded F. varium by direct plating; however, F. varium was isolated from 3 of 96 (3.1%) following enrich- ment of the homogenate in lactate or lysine medium. In contrast to liver abscesses, F. varium was isolated by direct plating from 27.1% (26/96) of ruminal epithelial and 3.1% (3/96) of colonic epithelial tissue homogenates. Overall, 10.1%, 77.1%, 44.8%, 86.5%, and 70.1% of liver abscess, ruminal, and colonic epithelial tissues and ruminal and colonic contents were positive for F. varium, respectively.

Implications and Applications

The increased fre- quency of isolation and high prevalence of F. varium in ruminal tissue and, to a lesser extent, in the colonic tissue confirms its ability to invade tissues and possibly cause bacterial ruminitis. However, the relatively low frequency of F. varium isolation and low prevalence in liver abscesses suggest that it is unlikely to be an etiologic agent. Inter- estingly, there is some evidence that ruminal strains of F. varium were resistant to tylosin; therefore, it would be of interest to determine the prevalence in cattle receiving in-feed tylosin.

我们的目的是分离并确定饲养场牛肝脓肿、相应的瘤胃和结肠上皮组织以及瘤胃和结肠内容物中变异镰刀菌的流行率。材料与方法 我们在屠宰时收集了 96 份完整的肝脓肿样本以及与之匹配的瘤胃和结肠组织及内容物,这些样本来自未使用泰乐菌素的饲养场。将肝脓肿、瘤胃和结肠组织匀浆,然后在乳酸盐或赖氨酸培养基中用选择性抗生素富集之前和之后,将其培养到血琼脂和选择性乳酸盐或赖氨酸琼脂上,以分离镰刀菌并确定流行率和浓度。通过以 hgdA 基因为目标的定量 PCR 检测法对推定菌落进行检测,以确认菌种。结果与讨论肝脓肿样本中没有一个通过直接培养得到变异镰刀菌;但在乳酸盐或赖氨酸培养基中富集匀浆后,96 个样本中有 3 个(3.1%)分离出变异镰刀菌。与肝脓肿不同的是,在瘤胃上皮细胞和结肠上皮细胞组织匀浆中,变种弗氏杆菌分别从 27.1%(26/96)和 3.1%(3/96)的瘤胃上皮细胞和结肠上皮细胞组织匀浆中直接培养分离出来。总体而言,10.1%、77.1%、44.8%、86.5% 和 70.1% 的肝脓肿、瘤胃和结肠上皮组织以及瘤胃和结肠内容物对变种弗氏菌呈阳性。然而,变种弗氏杆菌在肝脓肿中的分离频率相对较低,流行率也较低,这表明它不太可能是病原体。另外,有证据表明,变种 F.的瘤胃菌株对泰乐菌素有抗药性;因此,有必要确定在饲料中添加泰乐菌素的牛中的流行率。

Objective

We investigated the independent and in- teractive effects of dietary starch concentration and feed- ing management regimen on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and prevalence of liver abscesses in finish- ing beef cattle.

Materials and Methods

Beef steers (n = 720) were assigned to 48 pens in a randomized complete block de- sign, with treatments arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial (12 pens per treatment). Factors were finishing diets with ei- ther low (49.1%; CON) or high (64.4%; HOT) starch con- centrations and feeding management regimens designed for consistent feed delivery (REG) or randomized varia- tions (ERR) in both feed quantity (85% followed by 115% of the previous 4-d average randomly once per week) and delivery time (randomly delayed for 1, 2, 3, or 4 h twice per week).

Results and Discussion

No interactions between diet and feeding management regimen were detected for growth performance, carcass outcomes, or liver abscess prevalence. Steers fed HOT had greater liver abscess fre- quency (55.1% vs. 33.4%) and a greater proportion of liver scars (46.7% vs. 34.0%) compared with CON. Steers consuming HOT also had less final BW, ADG, DMI, hot carcass weight, marbling score, and calculated YG versus CON. Feeding management regimen did not affect liver abscess frequency, growth performance, or carcass merit.

Implications and Applications

Feeding a high- starch diet increased liver abscess prevalence and de- creased growth and affected carcass outcomes. In contrast, erratic feeding management did not affect liver or produc- tion outcomes.

我们研究了日粮淀粉浓度和饲养管理方案对育成肉牛的生长性能、胴体特征和肝脓肿发病率的独立和交互影响。材料与方法将肉牛(n = 720)分配到 48 个随机完全区组的牛栏中,处理以 2 × 2 的阶乘排列(每个处理 12 个牛栏)。处理因素包括淀粉浓度较低(49.1%;CON)或较高(64.4%;HOT)的精养日粮,以及饲料投放量(85%,然后是前 4 天平均值的 115%,每周随机一次)和投放时间(每周两次随机延迟 1、2、3 或 4 小时)一致或随机变化(ERR)的饲养管理方案。结果与讨论 在生长性能、胴体结果或肝脓肿发病率方面,未发现日粮与饲养管理方案之间存在相互作用。与CON相比,饲喂HOT的母牛肝脓肿发生率更高(55.1% vs. 33.4%),肝疤痕比例更高(46.7% vs. 34.0%)。饲喂 HOT 的母牛与饲喂 CON 的母牛相比,其最终体重、ADG、DMI、热胴体重、大理石纹评分和计算的 YG 也较低。饲喂管理方案并不影响肝脓肿发生率、生长性能或胴体品质。相比之下,不稳定的饲喂管理不会影响肝脏或胴体结果。

Objective

We investigated incremental growth of carcass and non-carcass components and tissue partitioning of implanted or non-implanted steers.

Materials and Methods

Steers (n = 80; 271 ± 45 kg) were paired and randomized to harvest date (d 0, 42, 84, 126, 168, 210, 252, 294, 336, or 378), and individuals within pairs were randomized to CON (negative control) or REV (Revalor-XS, Merck Animal Health, on d 0 and 190) treatments. Non-carcass components were removed, cleaned, and weighed. Growth coefficients were calculated using the allometric equation Y = bXa.

Results and Discussion

Empty body weight (EBW), and hot carcass weight (HCW) were 6% greater (P < 0.01) in REV steers versus CON. No treatment effects (P ≥ 0.12) occurred for fill or dressed carcass yield (DY); however, EBW, HCW, and DY increased (P ≤ 0.01) and percentage fill decreased as an effect of days on feed (DOF). Absolute fill weight did not change across DOF (P = 0.82). Implanted steers had greater (P ≤ 0.05) absolute mass of blood, head, hide, oxtail, liver, spleen, bladder, heart, reticulum, omasum, stomach, small intestine, intestines, gastrointestinal tract (GIT), total splanchnic tissue, and total offal. Implanted steers also had smaller (P ≤ 0.05) absolute mass of thymus glands and kidney-pelvic- heart fat (KPH) than non-implanted steers. Non-carcass components with lowest growth coefficients included small intestine (0.02), large intestine (0.12), and brain and spinal cord (0.13). However, KPH (2.01) accumulated at more than 2 times the rate of the empty body, whereas cod fat (1.42) and GIT fat (1.61) grew notably faster than the empty body.

Implication and Applications

Results suggest that Revalor-XS increased body and carcass weights and altered many non-carcass components and their growth co- efficients, ultimately playing key biological, nutritional, and financial roles across sectors of the beef industry.

材料与方法母牛(n = 80;271 ± 45 kg)配对并随机分配收获日期(第 0、42、84、126、168、210、252、294、336 或 378 天),配对个体随机分配 CON(阴性对照)或 REV(Revalor-XS,默克动物保健公司,第 0 和 190 天)处理。去除非胴体成分,清洗并称重。结果与讨论REV与CON相比,REV母牛的空体重(EBW)和热胴体重(HCW)高出6%(P < 0.01)。填充物或胴体去皮率(DY)没有出现处理效应(P ≥ 0.12);但是,EBW、HCW 和 DY 增加(P ≤ 0.01),填充物百分比减少,这是饲料天数(DOF)的效应。绝对填充重量在不同饲喂天数下没有变化(P = 0.82)。移植阉牛的血、头、皮、牛尾、肝、脾、膀胱、心脏、网状结构、骨膜、胃、小肠、肠、胃肠道 (GIT)、脾组织总量和内脏总量的绝对质量更大(P ≤ 0.05)。植入胸腺和肾-骨盆-心脏脂肪(KPH)的绝对质量(P ≤ 0.05)也比未植入胸腺和肾-骨盆-心脏脂肪(KPH)的绝对质量小。增长系数最低的非胴体成分包括小肠(0.02)、大肠(0.12)以及脑和脊髓(0.13)。结果表明,Revalor-XS 增加了体重和胴体重量,并改变了许多非胴体成分及其生长系数,最终在牛肉业的各个领域发挥了关键的生物、营养和经济作用。

Objective

This study evaluated 2 beef cattle manage- ment strategies, conventional (CONV) or natural (NAT), for 3 BW groups at weaning to evaluate growth perfor- mance during backgrounding and finishing and carcass characteristics.

Materials and Methods

A total of 240 weaned steers, free of preweaning implants, were allocated into heavy (HV) (290 ± 21 kg; mean ± SD), medium (MD) (247 ± 8 kg), or light (LT) (214 ± 15.6 kg) weight groups over 2 yr. Each weight group (n = 80) was randomly allo- cated to 1 of 2 treatments (n = 40): either conventional or natural (n = 4). Conventional treatments used hormonal implants and feed additives, but the natural treatment did not. Following a 41-d receiving phase, HV steers entered direct finishing, MD steers entered a short backgrounding and finishing, and LT steers entered a long backgrounding, grazing, and finishing, all fed to a shrink weight of 620 kg.

Results and Discussion

Steer ADG was 19% and 22% greater for MD- and LT-CONV, respectively, at backgrounding, compared with NAT. The G:F was 20% greater for HV- and MD-CONV at finishing and 25% greater for LT-CONV at backgrounding. The HV-, MD-, and LT-CONV took 50, 71, and 59 fewer days on feed, respectively, to finish, relative to NAT. The rib-eye area were greatest in HV-CONV, and NAT produced greater marbling, QG (AAA), and backfat thickness and had a greater proportion of liver abscesses.

Implications and Applications

Steers managed without performance-enhancing technologies under west- ern Canadian conditions will have lower ADG, G:F, and YG1, but greater days on feed to a target weight, AAA grade, marbling, and backfat thickness, than convention- ally-managed steers.

目标本研究评估了常规(CONV)或自然(NAT)这两种肉牛管理策略对 3 个体重组断奶后的生长性能以及胴体特征的影响。每个体重组(n = 80)随机分配到两种处理(n = 40)中的一种:常规处理或自然处理(n = 4)。传统疗法使用激素植入剂和饲料添加剂,而自然疗法不使用激素植入剂和饲料添加剂。经过 41 天的接收阶段后,HV 牛直接进入精饲料阶段,MD 牛进入短背景饲养和精饲料阶段,LT 牛进入长背景饲养、放牧和精饲料阶段,所有牛的收缩体重均为 620 千克。在育成期,HV-和 MD-CONV 的 G:F 比 NAT 高 20%,在背景期,LT-CONV 比 NAT 高 25%。与 NAT 相比,HV-、MD- 和 LT-CONV 的育成期分别缩短了 50 天、71 天和 59 天。在加拿大西部条件下,如果不采用提高性能的技术进行管理,阉牛的ADG、G:F和YG1会比传统管理的阉牛低,但达到目标体重、AAA级、大理石纹和背膘厚度的饲养天数会比传统管理的阉牛多。

Objective

Rumination and activity of growing feedlot steers were evaluated in response to growth-promoting implant administration, feeding duration, and dietary rough- age.

Materials and Methods

Charolais × Angus steers (n = 80) were randomized to harvest (1, 42, 84, 126, 168, 210, 252, 294, 336, or 378 d on feed) and implant treatment (REV: Revalor-XS on d 0 and d 190; CON: no implant). Activity and rumination were objectively monitored via accelerometers attached to the left ear. Steers consumed 3 rations throughout the study: starter (38.5% roughage), intermediate (23% roughage), and finishing (8.5% rough- age). Data were logged in 2-h increments from 77 steers across 361 d and analyzed using mixed models.

Results and Discussion

Rumination and activity varied within 24-h, exhibiting bimodal patterns; rumination peaked at 0600 and 1400 h and troughed at 1000 and 1800 h. Activity peaked at 0800 and 1800 h and troughed at 0400, 1200 to 1400, and 2200 h. Steers administered REV ruminated less (331 vs. 354 min/d) than CON; however, activity was similar between treatments. Treatment × roughage interactions occurred for rumination and activity. Rumination tended to be greater for CON steers consuming 38.5% than CON steers consuming 23% roughage, furthermore, CON steers ruminated more than REV when consuming 8.5% roughage. Implanted and non-implanted steers ruminated less as roughage inclusion decreased from 38.5% and 23% to 8.5% (457 and 439 vs. 317 min/d, respectively) in the finishing ration. Activity was greatest for steers consuming 38.5% roughage and was similar between treatments; however, activity decreased upon transition to 23% and 8.5% roughage. Observed surges and declines in activity can be attributed to processing days and weather events. Implanted steers consuming 8.5% roughage were more active (342 vs. 337 and 333 min/d) than CON and REV steers consuming 23% roughage.

Implications and Applications

In conclusion, rumination and activity are responsive to hour of day, dietary roughage and growth-promoting implants.

材料与方法 将夏洛莱牛×安格斯牛(n = 80)随机分为收获期(1、42、84、126、168、210、252、294、336 或 378 天)和植入物处理(REV:第 0 天和第 190 天使用 Revalor-XS;CON:不使用植入物)。通过安装在左耳上的加速度计对活动和反刍进行客观监测。在整个研究过程中,雌性奶牛食用 3 种饲料:开食饲料(38.5% 粗饲料)、中食饲料(23% 粗饲料)和精食饲料(8.5% 粗饲料)。反刍量和活动量在 24 小时内变化,表现出双峰模式;反刍量在 0600 和 1400 h 达到高峰,在 1000 和 1800 h 出现低谷;活动量在 0800 和 1800 h 达到高峰,在 0400、1200 至 1400 和 2200 h 出现低谷。在反刍和活动方面,处理与粗饲料之间存在相互作用。摄入 38.5% 粗饲料的 CON 牛的反刍量往往大于摄入 23% 粗饲料的 CON 牛,此外,当摄入 8.5% 粗饲料时,CON 牛的反刍量大于 REV 牛。当精饲料中的粗饲料含量从 38.5% 和 23% 降至 8.5% 时(分别为 457 和 439 分钟/天对 317 分钟/天),植入和未植入粗饲料的阉牛反刍量减少。摄入 38.5% 粗饲料的母牛活动量最大,而且不同处理之间的活动量相似;但是,在过渡到 23% 和 8.5% 粗饲料时,活动量有所下降。观察到的活动量激增和下降可归因于加工天数和天气事件。与摄入 23% 粗饲料的 CON 和 REV 牛相比,摄入 8.5% 粗饲料的植入牛的活动量更大(342 分钟/天 vs. 337 分钟/天和 333 分钟/天)。

Objective

The objectives of this research were to assess the awareness and perceptions of technology currently available to the US sheep industry, to determine how each industry segment prioritizes data records, to understand what level of premiums are needed and realistic, and to assess changes by industry segment and operation size.

Materials and Methods

An online survey was distributed at the 2022 American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) Convention and through the University of Wyoming Sheep Extension and ASI Emerging Entrepreneurs social media pages. Respondents were asked demographic questions and specific segment questions that assessed knowledge of blockchain, importance of records, and current adoption of technology. All descriptive and ANOVA analyses used R statistical procedures (R Core Team; version 2023.03.0). Least squares means were calculated, and the glm procedure of R was used to develop a binary logit model to assess statistical probabilities. Significance was considered at α = 0.05.

Results and Discussion

A total of 61 responses were acquired (n = 52 producers; n = 9 wool warehousers/ processors), representing operations in 19 US states and Ontario, Canada. Respondents indicated they are somewhat familiar with using blockchain technology for tracking records of importance. Adoption of electronic identification (EID) technology and digital record keeping were significant by operation size, with inflection points for operations with <99 head or >2,000 head (i.e., extremes). A market premium 8.1–12% over base price is needed to submit a raw wool core test into a blockchain-based system, but wool warehousers/processors are willing to pay a premium to have access to the records on a blockchain- based system at 4.1–8% over base price.

Implications and Applications

Producers and wool warehousers/processors are somewhat familiar with block-chain technology for tracking records of importance, but producer adoption of the current technologies (e.g., EID, software) is limited. Adoption of current management technologies is influenced by operation size, so further work should be conducted to determine the largest barriers to adoption. Further adoption of the current technologies is needed before blockchain technology can be used to its full potential in the sheep industry.

材料和方法在 2022 年美国绵羊产业协会(ASI)大会上,并通过怀俄明大学绵羊推广中心和 ASI 新兴企业家社交媒体页面发布了一份在线调查。受访者被问及人口统计学问题以及评估区块链知识、记录重要性和当前技术采用情况的特定细分问题。所有描述性分析和方差分析均使用 R 统计程序(R 核心团队;版本 2023.03.0)。计算最小二乘法均值,并使用 R 的 glm 程序开发二元对数模型,以评估统计概率。结果与讨论共收到 61 份回复(n = 52 个生产商;n = 9 个羊毛仓储商/加工商),代表了美国 19 个州和加拿大安大略省的运营情况。受访者表示,他们对使用区块链技术追踪重要记录有些了解。电子身份识别(EID)技术和数字记录保存的采用因经营规模而异,拐点出现在拥有 99 头或 2000 头(即极端)的经营场所。向基于区块链的系统提交原毛芯测试需要支付比基准价格高出 8.1-12% 的市场溢价,但羊毛仓储商/加工商愿意支付比基准价格高出 4.1-8% 的溢价来访问基于区块链的系统中的记录。当前管理技术的采用受经营规模的影响,因此应进一步开展工作,确定采用技术的最大障碍。在区块链技术在养羊业充分发挥其潜力之前,需要进一步采用当前的技术。

Objective

The objective was to evaluate the effect of using a diet predigestion (PD) of HCl and pepsin along with different in situ ruminal incubation lengths on indi- gestible NDF (INDF) and ADF (IADF) content recovery from diet and fecal samples.

Materials and Methods

Diet and total fecal collec- tion samples from steers fed a high-roughage starter or a low-roughage finisher diet were collected from a larger experiment. Diet samples either underwent PD or not (NPD). Then, diet and fecal samples were ruminally in- cubated for 72, 96, 120, or 288-h. After incubation, NDF or ADF protocols were conducted to determine INDF and IADF.

Results and Discussion

For PD, a 120-h ruminal incubation length was needed to achieve fecal recoveries that were not different from 100% for all marker by diet combinations. For NPD, a 288-h incubation was required to achieve 100% fecal recovery for all diet by marker com- binations, except for IADF with the finisher diet. A 120-h incubation resulted in the highest agreement [Lin’s concor- dance correlation coefficient (CCC) ≥0.90] with observed dry matter digestibility (DMD) for INDF and IADF for PD. With NPD, a 288-h incubation was needed to achieve estimates of DMD with excellent agreement (CCC ≥0.89) for INDF and IADF.

Implications and Applications

Based on these re- sults, PD followed by a 120-h ruminal incubation shortens time requirements and provides acceptable measurements of INDF and IADF concentrations in feeds and feces. For NPD a 288-h ruminal incubation length is required.

材料与方法 从一项大型实验中收集了饲喂高粗饲料初乳牛或低粗饲料精饲料的母牛的日粮和粪便样本。日粮样本要么经过PD处理,要么未经过(NPD)处理。然后,将日粮和粪便样品分别反刍 72、96、120 或 288 小时。孵育后,进行 NDF 或 ADF 试验,以确定 INDF 和 IADF。结果与讨论对于 PD,需要 120 小时的瘤胃孵育时间才能使所有标记物与日粮组合的粪便回收率不低于 100%。对于 NPD,除 IADF 与阉鸡日粮外,所有日粮与标记物组合的粪便回收率均需达到 100%。对于 INDF 和 IADF,120 小时培养与观察到的干物质消化率(DMD)的一致性最高[Lin's concor- dance correlation coefficient (CCC) ≥0.90]。对于 NPD,需要经过 288 小时的培养才能估算出 INDF 和 IADF 的干物质消化率(DMD),且两者的相关系数极高(CCC ≥0.89)。对于 NPD,则需要 288 小时的瘤胃培养时间。

Objective

Our objective was to evaluate 2 methods of external marker dosing, at 2 levels of forage allowance, to estimate forage intake in beef cattle.

Materials and Methods

Sixteen Aberdeen Angus steers (mean age of 18 mo; 350 ± 9 kg BW), kept in in- dividual pens, were used in a quadruplicated 4 × 4 Latin square design experiment, in a 2 × 2 factorial arrange- ment. The factors were forage allowance level (4 vs. 7 kg DM/d of alfalfa plus orchard grass haylage) and supple- ment feeding method (manual vs. automatic). A supple- ment consisting of 2 kg DM of pelleted corn with 1% ti- tanium dioxide (TiO2) per day was offered to each steer. Total DMI and diet DM digestibility were estimated using the dual-marker technique, with acid insoluble ash (AIA; 2 different methods) or ADL used as the internal marker. Fecal output was estimated by TiO2 concentration using feces from the daily total fecal collection (TFC) samples and others from a morning subsample. The TFC was car- ried out individually and daily during the last 4 d of each 21-d period.

Results and Discussion

The overall mean recovery of TiO2 was 104% (SD: 0.05; range: 101–107%). Fecal subsamples obtained in the morning overestimated fecal production with no difference between dosing methods. The DM digestibility was overestimated with AIA and ADL. The estimation of DM digestibility by ADL was closer than AIA to those obtained by TFC, without differ- ences between the 2 AIA techniques. The overestimation of forage intake using the dual-marker technique was more affected by the overvalued DM digestibility using the in- ternal markers than by fecal production using the external marker, without the effect of the dosing method.

Implications and Applications

It is viable and reli- able to automatically supply pelleted corn with TiO2 for fecal production estimation. The accuracy could be im- proved by obtaining at least 2 fecal samples during the day. Under the current experimental conditions, ADL is more accurate than AIA for estimating DM digestibility when the diet offered to cattle is based on alfalfa plus or- chard grass haylage and concentrate.

材料与方法 16 头阿伯丁安格斯阉牛(平均年龄 18 月;体重 350 ± 9 千克)被饲养在单个牛栏中,采用 2 × 2 因子排列的 4 × 4 拉丁方阵设计实验。试验因子为饲草补贴水平(苜蓿加果园干草 4 与 7 千克 DM/天)和补饲方法(手动与自动)。每天为每头阉牛提供 2 kg DM 含有 1% 二氧化钛 (TiO2) 的颗粒玉米。使用双标记技术估算总 DMI 和日粮 DM 消化率,酸性不溶性灰分(AIA;2 种不同方法)或 ADL 用作内部标记。粪便产出量是通过TiO2浓度估算的,使用的粪便来自每天的粪便收集样本(TFC)和来自早晨子样本的其他样本。在每个 21 天期间的最后 4 天,每天单独进行 TFC 采集。早上采集的粪便子样高估了粪便产量,不同给药方法之间没有差异。AIA 和 ADL 高估了 DM 消化率。用 ADL 估算的 DM 消化率比用 AIA 估算的 DM 消化率更接近于用 TFC 估算的 DM 消化率,两种 AIA 技术之间没有差异。使用双标记技术高估牧草摄入量更多的是受使用内部标记高估的 DM 消化率的影响,而不是受使用外部标记的粪便产量的影响,而配料方法没有影响。在一天中至少采集两次粪便样本可提高准确性。在目前的实验条件下,当牛的日粮以紫花苜蓿加或莎草干草和精料为主时,ADL 比 AIA 更能准确估计 DM 消化率。
