Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Factors Affecting Calf Crop summarizes the latest information available from leading cattle physiologists and geneticists regarding factors known to influence the production of live calves at weaning. You get practical information on management techniques for improving reproduction efficiency in the herd. You'll also learn about the functioning of the reproductive system and how this may affect reproductive processes in the cow herd.

Color photographs are also used to illustrate the discussions of testicular thermographies and their applications. Other chapters in the book cover developments in improving reproductive performance of the replacement heifer, the brood cow, and the bull. Topics on reproduction include physiology/endocrinology, the use of growth promotants, genetics and physiological and economic considerations in selecting the age to breed heifers, heritability of fertility, length of the breeding season, prepartum and postpartum nutrition, nursing by the calf, cloning of embryos, and much more.

This book was released on 2000-05-16 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As members of the public becomes more concious of the food they consume and its content, higher standards are expected in the preparation of such food.

More enhanced than previous editions, this edition expands on the descriptions of cattle and their nutritional requirements taking management and environmental conditions into consideration. The book clearly communicates the current state of beef cattle nutrient requirements and animal variation by visually presenting related data via computer-generated models. Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle expounds on the effects of beef cattle body condition on the state of compensatory growth, takes an in-depth look at the variations in cattle type, and documents the important effects of the environment and stress on food intake. This volume also uses new data on the development of a fetus during pregnancy to prescribe nutrient requirements of gestating cattle more precisely. By focusing on factors such as product quality and environmental awareness, Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle presents standards and advisements for acceptable nutrients in a complete and conventional manner that promotes a more practical understanding and application.

Book Synopsis Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics by : Kenneth R. Valpey
Download or read book Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics written by Kenneth R. Valpey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides both a broad perspective and a focused examination of cow care as a subject of widespread ethical concern in India, and increasingly in other parts of the world. In the face of what has persisted as a highly charged political issue over cow protection in India, intellectual space must be made to bring the wealth of Indian traditional ethical discourse to bear on the realities of current human-animal relationships, particularly those of humans with cows. Dharma, yoga, and bhakti paradigms serve as starting points for bringing Hindu—particularly Vaishnava Hindu—animal ethics into conversation with contemporary Western animal ethics. The author argues that a culture of bhakti—the inclusive, empathetic practice of spirituality centered in Krishna as the beloved cowherd of Vraja—can complement recently developed ethics-of-care thinking to create a solid basis for sustaining all kinds of cow care communities.
Book Synopsis Replacement Heifer Development by : Leah Heron Schmitz
Download or read book Replacement Heifer Development written by Leah Heron Schmitz and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments were conducted to evaluate a broad range of factors that may influence growth and reproductive performance of replacement heifers. In Exp. 1, 109 Angus crossbred heifers were used to determine the effects of hormonal implants administered during the suckling phase on replacement heifer growth and reproductive performance. Implanted heifers had greater WW (P = 0.03) and BW at breeding (P = 0.09); however, onset of puberty and conception rates did not differ between treatments (P = 0.67). In Exp. 2, 81 Angus crossbred heifers were utilized to evaluate use of irrigated cool-season annual forage in post-weaning development. Heifers were assigned to triticale or native range pastures, plus protein supplement. In yr 1, heifers gained 0.09 and 0.27 kg/d (P = 0.21) when grazing native range and triticale, respectively. In yr. 2, heifers grazing triticale gained 0.76 compared to 0.42 kg kg per d (P = 0.03) for native range. In Exp. 3. 129 Angus crossed and Brangus heifers were assigned to either; CAKE, which consisted of a 1.9 cm pellet (20% CP, as fed basis) or Dried Distillers Grains plus Solubles, There was no difference in animal growth performance (P > 0.25), or in reproductive traits (P = 0.60). A two-year study (Exp. 4), in which 133 Angus-crossed heifers were fed different levels of supplement in order to achieve varying amounts of gain before breeding. Treatments were: 1) heifers were fed to achieve a high rate of gain for 28 d, then low for the next 28 d (HL); 2) Low rate of gain for 28 d then high gains for the last half of the 56 d period (LH); or a moderate rate of gain throughout the 56 d feeding period (MOD). There was no difference (P > 0.36) in animal performance or reproductive status across all treatments. Experiment 5 was designed to evaluate the use of irrigated warm-season annual forage as a means of developing heifers in the post-breeding period. Twenty-four Angus-crossed heifers were assigned to graze either sorghum x sudangrass or pearl millet 45 d after the breeding season. There was no difference (P > 0.52) between treatment groups in bred heifer performance. Similar performance between forages suggests that either is a reasonable choice for growing young pregnant beef heifers.
