Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steer and Lamb Feeding The experiments in feeding cattle and sheep, the results of which are recorded in the following pages, were conducted during the winters of 1901 - 2 and 1902 - 3. These experiments are the first of their character that have been conducted at this Station. However, considerable feeding has been done in some parts of the Territory, but so far as known, no rec ords have been kept and information as to the results cannot be obtained. There has been some demand in the past for information on feeding in New Mexico, and it is believed that the need for such information will be much greater in the future. Upon the completion of storage reservoirs and the development of irrigation systems, which will result in the reclamation of immense arid areas, the feeding industry will command much attention among farmers. There is little information avail able to the New Mexico farmer and ranchman upon feeding, and therefore, it is thought desirable to publish the data thus far secured upon this subject. The results obtained are suggestive of the possibilities, - the conclusions, however, are only tentative, there not having been a sufficient number of trials from which to draw them.

The hay used in this experiment was late cut and rather poor quality, as shown by the analyses and digestibility. It was prepared by chopping to about 2-inch lengths several hundred pounds, enough to last through the experiments with grain rations for the season, and thoroughly mixing to make it uniform. The hay was not very palatable and only small rations could be fed without some being left in the feed boxes. The coefficients obtained with the sheep are somewhat lower than those from the steers and are. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Fed Steers: A Comparison of Methods of Feeding Among common methods of beef production there is recognized the practice of short feeding or warming up of cattle. This process usually requires from 60 to 100 days and the cattle are generally mar keted in a half fat or unfinished condition. In this, as in 'most enter prises of this sort, the variations of common practice are wide. These variations are in the grade and condition of cattle selected for feeding, the methods of handling, and the rations used. Some feeders, for instance, select heavy eshy cattle of the better grades while others select cattle thin in esh, but generally mature, and of the lower grades. 'then too, the variations in the methods of handling the cat tle are wide, the chief difference being in the policy of forcing rapid and large gains by the use of a rather expensive ration as compared with that of smaller gains by the use of limited quantities of feed or less expensive feeds. The factors surrounding and the possibilities of short feeding are considerably different from those of long feeding where the cattle are fed for six months or longer and generally marketed in finished condi tion. It is not intended, however, at this time to compare the practice of short feeding with that of finishing beef cattle. We introduced this work rather to study the methods and possibilities of short feeding. To do this, a test was conducted with two carloads of cattle under conditions comparable to those existing in Illinois. In this work the relative merits of two different methods of feeding were studied and other available data were collected thus supplying a basis upon which the business of short feeding cattle may be judged.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Feeding Cattle and Sheep on the Range and in the Feed Lot Recent years have brought a great increase in the use of supple mental feeds for the maintenance of breeding stock and for finishing cattle and sheep. Livestock producers are confronted with the prob lem of selecting from the wide variety of feeds available in California, those that are most economical at varying prices - not necessarily the feed which costs the least per ton, but that which furnishes the essential nutrients at the cheapest rate. Ordinary feed analyses give the crude protein, nitrogen-free ex tract, fat, fiber, and ash content of feeds, but do not show the amounts of these constituents that are digestible and therefore available to the animal. The proteins of feeds are extremely important because they are used for growth and maintenance of muscle and other lean tissues, and for milk production. They may also serve as a source of energy. The nitrogen-free extract includes the starches and sugars, which, together with the fats and digestible portion of the fiber, are used for body heat, muscular work, and for fat production. The value of feeds may therefore be expressed in terms of digestible crude protein and total digestible nutrients. The former represents the value for supplying building material for growth 'of lean tissues and for the protein requirement of lactation. The latter represents the combined energy or fattening value of all the various nutrients. Feeds high in fiber being low in digestibility, have low values for total digestible nutrients. Simple means of comparing values, together with data and sug gestions on feeding practice, are presented in this circular.

The English household has the meat once a week, while in this country once in three or four weeks is the rule. Hindrances TO A bigger A lot of folks dislike lamb because somebody lamb trade else told them so. They have never taken the trouble to look into the matter for themselves. If the sheep, like the cow, didn't have How many skins and one of these adhered to the pelt tighter than it does to the meat, the chances are lamb would be far more popular than it is today. This fell, or thin papery membrane that surrounds the carcass has little or no food value and it should be removed before it is cooked. It is more objectionable in the older meat than in lamb. There is but one safe rule to follow with regard to it, always remove it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Feeds and Feeding Manual The teaching of the principles of nutrition which underlie the practice of feeding has been left to lecture and text-book. In this manual exercises have been outlined which will guide the student in his study of 50 common feeds. In addition, problems have been suggested covering rations for dairy and beef cattle, horses, sheep, and swine. In these problems the comparative usefulness of the common feeding standards is brought out, and the fact is impressed on the student that in order to formulate a ration intelligently, the nature, composition usefulness and relative cost of a large variety of feeds must be known. A method of computing the relative value of the several feeds is clearly illustrated in the computation of the problems. There have purposely been included in the manual more exercises and problems than can be worked out by most classes in the amount of time available. This has been done in order that each instructor may select the exercises and problems which are especially important in his own section. Additional blank pages are provided at the rear so that the instructor may assign special problems of local interest, if desired, The authors wish to acknowledge the help of Professor W. A. Henry of the University of Wisconsin and of Professor H. H. Wing and Mr. T. A. Baker of Cornell University in the preparation of this manual.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Foods: Or the Rational Feeding of Farm Animals As long ago as the year 1868, when the first edition of my 'Practical System of Manuring' appeared, I had pledged myself to bring out a companion volume, in which the nutrition of the body and the economy of Farm Food-stuffs should be treated on similar lines. But at the same time I expressed my intention of reserving the work until the principles underlying its teaching had been placed upon a clear and systematic basis. The science of Agricultural Dietetics was then beginning to assume definite proportions, and from the great energy with which it was being prosecuted it seemed more than probable that in a very short time it would attain a position which would enable it to offer practice a firmer and sounder support for the acceptance of the latest scientific principles. In my opinion that time has now come. Thanks mainly to the rich harvest of results which has rewarded the zealous labours of the Munich School of Physiology, the general laws of animal nutrition, as well as those of flesh- and fat-formation in the animal body, are now clear and patent; the necessary investigations which were so admirably executed by Voit and Pettenkofer have attained a present conclusion.

The number of cattleifedithis winter is indicated to be somewhat larger than a year earlier; The number fed in the Corn Belt may be moderately large and the total fed in all other States may be at least as large, A moderate increase in cattle slaughter during the first 6 months of I9M5 over the same period of l9hfi is indicated. Calf slaughter may also be larger with a recnr number of milk cows, if dairymen continue to market a large percentage of calves for veal. Numbers of beef cows and heifers probably decreased during 19um and numbers of all steers may have increased, Sheep and lamb slaughter may be moderately lower during the first half of 19m5 than a year earlier, The number of lambs fed this winter is indicate to be somewhat lower than a year earlier and may be the smallest in 7 years, The number fed in the Corn Belt may be about the same as a year earlier, Feeding will be increased in Oklahoma and Texas, Decreased feeding is indicated in the Western States and the number fed in Gelnradn, the'mainp feeding State, may be the lowest in 17 years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hobby Farms Beef Cattle: Keeping a Small-Scale Herd for Pleasure and Profit, written by Ann Larkin Hansen, serves as an excellent introduction to raising cows for food or simply to graze while mowing and fertilizing the pasture. This colorful guide offers experienced hobby farmers and beginners all of the essential information necessary to purchase and maintain a small herd of beef cattle. While managing her own hobby farm in Wisconsin, Hansen shares her expertise in all things farm and has authored numerous books such as Making Hay, The Organic Farming Manual, and Finding Good Farmland. In this comprehensive book, Hansen corrals the hobby farmer into the world of cowboys and cowgirls: she begins, “Beef cattle are as much at home on the hobby farm as they are on the range.” This colorful primer begins with the basics, from biological traits and breeds to behavior and life cycle, and describes exactly what’s required for a hobby farmer to maintain a herd of cattle—the four F’s—fencing, feed, fields, and facilities. Given the expense involved in the purchase and maintenance of beef cattle, all hobby farmers will welcome Hansen’s sound and sensible advice on buying the right cattle, whether steer calves for meat or breeding stock for building up a herd. The buying chapter helps farmers focus on what to look for when selecting cattle; how cows, heifers, and bulls are priced; where to purchase; and how to get cattle to your farm. The feeding and nutrition of cattle is a complicated topic, and Hansen breaks it down into the three basic components that every keeper needs to understand: pasture, hay, and grain. With directness and clarity, she explains the ins and outs of grazing, selecting ideal foodstuffs, using salt and minerals, and maintaining good weight on the herd. The reader can rely on her expert advice to learn the fundamentals of handling cattle, including herding, loading, and transporting cattle, as well as keeping beef cattle healthy through preventive methods, vaccinations, parasite control and veterinary assistance. For hobby farmers planning to breed their livestock, Beef Cattle includes a chapter on pairing cows and heifers, the actual breeding, artificial insemination, the care of pregnant cows, calving, caring for the young, and weaning calves. The final chapter of the book “Marketing and Processing Your Cattle” is geared toward hobby farmers looking to get beef processed, grade meat, and sell the final product. Sidebars of fun trivia, stories from farmers, and useful advice appear throughout the handbook. A glossary of over 100 terms; an appendix of health issues; a resource section of useful websites, books, and periodicals; and a detailed index complete the book.
