Cattle Health

Abstract The stocker segment of the beef industry provides significant enterprise services. The stocker industry provides a shock absorber to absorb the bulk of the cattle not ready for finishing in the numbers glut in the fall and helps provide a year around supply of feeder cattle. Other benefits include adding size to small and medium frame cattle to allow them to finish at acceptable weights, grouping cattle from small herds into semiload lots, and improved health and resilience to the stressors of changing diets, management, and environment. Health during receiving to the finishing phase has been shown to impact finishing performance and carcass quality, so the effects of stocker management can have serious implications on long-term economics of the feedlot enterprise and consumer acceptance of beef products. Ratliff et al. (2014) compiled data from Arkansas receiving and stocker grazing experiments and found that calves coming into the receiving unit as bulls were more likely to experience 2nd and 3rd pulls for bovine respiratory disease and had lower gains during grazing than calves coming in as steers. Records from research trials conducted in Mississippi and Arkansas found a 6 to 14% reduction in ADG for calves that had been treated for BRD once vs two times or more, respectively. There is much less data that considers the health outcomes of calves received as light weight stocker cattle and how this impacts subsequent performance during finishing. Timing of application of growth promoting technologies during the stocker phase has been shown to affect response to implants during finishing and carcass quality, but little data is available regarding stocker cattle health and finishing performance. More research is needed to ascertain what determines the quality of the health intervention outcomes for individual animals and the subsequent implications of health in the stocker phase

Dietary Treatments

Abstract Alfalfa is often included in the diets of beef animals; however, the nutrient content of alfalfa is variable depending on the region in which it is grown, climate, soil, and many other factors. The leaf portion of alfalfa has a less variable nutrient composition than the stem portion of the plant. The variability that is present in the alfalfa plant can make the development of total mixed rations of consistent nutrient content difficult. As such, the purpose of this study was to determine how inclusion of fractionated alfalfa leaves and alfalfa stems impacts performance and carcass quality of finishing beef steers. Twenty-four steers were allocated to one of three treatments: a control group fed a typical finishing diet with alfalfa as the forage (CON; n=8), a typical diet that replaced alfalfa with fractionated alfalfa leaf pellets and alfalfa stems (ProLEAF MAX™ + ProFiber Plus™; PLM+PFP; n=8), or a typical diet that replaced alfalfa with alfalfa stems (PFP; n=8) for 63 days. Steers were fed individually once daily, weighed every 14 days and ultrasound images were collected every 28 days. At the end of the feeding trial, steers were harvested at a commercial facility and carcass data was obtained. Analysis of dry matter intake demonstrated that steers receiving the PFP and CON diets consumed more feed (P < 0.001) than steers consuming the PLM+PFP diet. Steers receiving the PLM+PFP diet gained less (P < 0.001) weight than the steers receiving the other two dietary treatments. No differences (P > 0.10) in feed efficiency or carcass characteristics were observed. Steers receiving the PFP diet had improved (P = 0.016) cost of gain ($0.93 per kg) when compared to steers receiving PLM+PFP ($1.08 per kg) diet. Overall, our findings demonstrate that inclusion of PFP in place of alfalfa hay in a finishing diet has the potential to improve cost of gain, without negatively affecting growth, performance, or carcass characteristics of finishing feedlot steers.
