Article: Effects of a dietary Aspergillus oryzae extract containing -amylase activity on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing beef cattle[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three experiments were conducted to examine the effects of an Aspergillus oryzae extract containing alpha-amylase activity on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing beef cattle. In Exp. 1, 120 crossbred steers were used in a randomized complete block design to evaluate the effects of roughage source (alfalfa hay vs. cottonseed hulls) and supplemental alpha-amylase at 950 dextrinizing units (DU)/kg of DM. Significant roughage source x alpha-amylase interactions (P < 0.05) were observed for performance. In steers fed cottonseed hulls, supplemental alpha-amylase increased ADG through d 28 and 112 and tended (P < 0.15) to increase ADG in all other periods. The increases in ADG were related to increased DMI and efficiency of gain during the initial 28-d period but were primarily related to increased DMI as the feeding period progressed. Supplemental alpha-amylase increased (P = 0.02) the LM area across both roughage sources. In Exp. 2, 96 crossbred heifers were used in a randomized complete block design with a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement of treatments to evaluate the effects of corn processing (dry cracked vs. high moisture) and supplemental alpha-amylase concentration (0, 580, or 1,160 DU/kg of DM). Alpha-amylase supplementation increased DMI (P = 0.05) and ADG (P = 0.03) during the initial 28 d on feed and carcass-adjusted ADG (P = 0.04) across corn processing methods. Longissimus muscle area was greatest (quadratic effect, P = 0.04), and yield grade was least (quadratic effect, P = 0.02) in heifers fed 580 DU of alpha-amylase/kg of DM across corn processing methods. In Exp. 3, 56 crossbred steers were used in a randomized complete block design to evaluate the effects of supplemental alpha-amylase (930 DU/kg of DM) on performance when DMI was restricted to yield a programmed ADG. Alpha-amylase supplementation did not affect performance when DMI was restricted. We conclude that dietary alpha-amylase supplementation of finishing beef diets may result in increased ADG through increased DMI under certain dietary conditions and that further research is warranted to explain its mode of action and interactions with dietary ingredients.Journal of Animal Science 03/2007; 85(3):802-11.

Article: Effects of an artificial sweetener on health, performance, and dietary preference of feedlot cattle[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two experiments examined the effects of a saccharin-based artificial sweetener (Sucram) on health, performance, and dietary preference of feedlot cattle. In Exp. 1, 200 steer calves (initial BW = 190.4 +/- 1.47 kg) were fed a 65% concentrate diet supplemented with or without 200 mg of Sucram/kg (DM basis) during a 56-d receiving-growing period. Feeding Sucram did not affect overall (P = 0.19) DMI; however, from d 29 to 56, there was a trend (P = 0.10) for increased DMI with Sucram (5.71 vs. 6.02 kg/d, respectively). From d 0 to 28 and d 0 to 56, there were trends (P = 0.11 and 0.12, respectively) for increased ADG and for increased d-56 BW (P = 0.07) for calves fed Sucram. No differences were detected (P = 0.82) for receiving (REC) period morbidity. During the finishing (FIN) period, 180 steers from the REC period were assigned (9 pens/treatment in a 2 x 2 factorial design) to the following treatments: 1) control REC/control FIN; 2) control REC/Sucram FIN; 3) Sucram REC/control FIN; and 4) Sucram REC/ Sucram FIN. Over the FIN period, ADG tended (P = 0.12) to be greater for Sucram; however, carcass-adjusted ADG did not differ among treatments. Daily DMI was affected by a REC x FIN interaction (P = 0.08), which was the result of greater DMI by cattle in the Sucram REC/Sucram FIN treatment and decreased DMI by cattle in the Sucram REC/control FIN treatment. In general, changes in carcass characteristics were minor. In Exp. 2, 12 steers (initial BW = 395.6 +/- 6.17 kg) were used in a simultaneously replicated 3 x 3 Latin square preference test. Each square consisted of 3 pens, with 2 steers/pen, and 3 time periods. Bunks had dividers at their midpoint, and equal quantities of diet (as-fed basis) were delivered randomly on either side of the divider daily. Treatments were: 1) control; 2) Sucram = basal diet supplemented with 200 mg of Sucram/kg of DM; and 3) choice = control and Sucram on separate sides of the divider. Dietary preference differed on d 1 (P = 0.01) and d 3 (P = 0.02) for control vs. choice and Sucram vs. choice, with the choice group consuming 0.49 and 1.72 kg of DM more of the Sucram diet than the control diet, respectively. This effect, however, was not consistent across days, and average DMI did not differ (P = 0.81) among treatments. Addition of Sucram to the diet of newly received cattle tended to increase receiving period ADG; however, its effects on morbidity, finishing performance, and dietary preference were limited.Journal of Animal Science 10/2006; 84(9):2491-500.

Article: Effects of feeding whole cottonseed and cottonseed products on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing beef cattle.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of whole cottonseed or cottonseed products on performance and carcass characteristics of beef cattle. In Exp. 1, 120 beef steers (initial BW = 381 +/- 31.7 kg) were fed steam-flaked corn-based finishing diets with 10% (DM basis) basal roughage, and whole cottonseed or individual cottonseed components (cottonseed hulls, meal, and oil). Over the entire feeding period, ADG did not differ (P = 0.95), but DMI increased (P = 0.07) and G:F decreased (P = 0.06) for steers fed the cottonseed diets compared with the control diet. Dressing percent (P = 0.02) and marbling scores (P = 0.02) of carcasses from steers fed the cottonseed diets were less than for steers fed the control diet. In Exp. 2, 150 beef steers (initial BW = 364 +/- 9.9 kg) were used to determine the effects of whole cottonseed or pelleted cottonseed (PCS) on performance and carcass characteristics. Cattle were fed steam-flaked corn-based finishing diets in which whole cottonseed or PCS replaced all of the dietary roughage, supplemental fat, and supplemental natural protein of the control diet. Over the entire feeding period, steers fed the cottonseed diets had lower (P = 0.04) DMI and greater (P < 0.01) G:F than steers fed the control diet. Carcass characteristics did not differ (P = 0.16 to 0.96) among dietary treatments. In Exp. 3, 150 beef heifers (initial BW = 331 +/- 17.1 kg) were used to determine the effects of PCS or delinted, whole cottonseed (DLCS) on performance and carcass characteristics. Heifers were fed rolled corn-based finishing diets in which cottonseed replaced the dietary roughage, supplemental fat, and all or part of the supplemental natural protein of the control diet. Over the entire feeding period, ADG, DMI, and G:F of heifers fed the control diet did not differ (P = 0.19 to 0.80) from those of the cottonseed diets; however, heifers fed the diets containing PCS had greater ADG (P = 0.03) and G:F (P = 0.09) than heifers fed diets containing DLCS. Carcass characteristics of heifers fed the control diet did not differ (P > or = 0.28) from those fed the cottonseed diets. Heifers fed the diets containing PCS had greater (P < or = 0.03) HCW, dressing percent, and LM area than those fed DLCS. Based on our results, whole cottonseed, or products derived from processing whole cottonseed, can replace feedstuffs commonly used in beef cattle finishing diets with no adverse effects on animal performance or carcass characteristics.Journal of Animal Science 09/2006; 84(8):2186-99.

Article: Short communication: serum and tissue concentrations of vitamin D metabolites in beef heifers after buccal dosing of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sixteen crossbred (British x Continental; average un-shrunk body weight = 507.9 kg; SD = 45.6 kg) beef heifers fed a steam-flaked corn-based finishing diet with melengestrol acetate (0.4 mg/heifer daily) included to suppress estrus were used in a completely random design to evaluate the efficacy of buccal administration of 0, 10, 100, or 1000 mg of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, (25-OH D3). Serum Ca, P, Mg, 25-OH D3, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-(OH)2 D3], albumin, and protein were measured 24 h before dosing (-24 h), at dosing (0 h), and 6 and 24 h after dosing, after which the cattle were slaughtered at a commercial facility. Samples of kidneys, liver, longissimus lumborum, and triceps brachii were collected and evaluated for concentrations of 1,25-(OH)2 D3. With -24 and 0 h as baseline covariates, a significant time x treatment interaction was observed for serum 25-OH D3 and Ca concentrations, but not for serum 1,25-(OH)2 D3. Supplemental 25-OH D3 doses of 100 and 1000 mg significantly increased serum 25-OH D3 at 24 h after dosing, 1,25-(OH)2 D3 at 6 and 24 h after dosing, and serum Ca at 24 h after dosing. Similarly, buccal dosing of 1000 mg of supplemental 25-OH D3 significantly increased (approximately 2- to 3-fold) concentrations of 1,25-(OH)2 D3 in the kidney, liver, and longissimus lumborum relative to the other 3 treatments but not in triceps brachii. Serum albumin, protein, P, and Mg were not affected by treatment. Based on these results, buccal administration of 100 and 1000 mg 25-OH D3 increased vitamin D3 metabolites in serum and tissues, and it should be an effective method of delivering the vitamin.Journal of Dairy Science 05/2005; 88(4):1364-9.

Article: Reduction of Escherichia coli O157 in finishing beef cattle by various doses of Lactobacillus acidophilus in direct-fed microbials[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our objective was to evaluate the effects of three doses of Lactobacillus acidophilus strain NP51 and a combination treatment of strains NP51 and NP45 on prevalence of Escherichia coli O157 in cattle. Three hundred steers were assigned randomly to 60 pens (five steers per pen) and received one of five treatments: (i) control, no added direct-fed microbial; (ii) HNP51, high dose of NP51 at 10(9) CFU per steer daily; (iii) MNP51, NP51 at 10(8) CFU per steer daily; (iv) LNP51, low dose of NP51 at 10(7) CFU per steer daily; and (v) NP51+45, NP51 at 10(9) CFU per steer daily and NP45 at 106 CFU per steer daily. All direct-fed microbial treatments included Propionibacterium freudenreichii at 10(9) CFU per steer. Individual rectal fecal samples were collected on arrival and every 28 days throughout the feeding period. Fecal and hide samples were collected on the day of harvest. Samples were analyzed for presence of E. coli O157 using immunomagnetic separation methods. Cattle receiving HNP51, MNP51, and LNP51 had a lower prevalence (P < 0.01) of E. coli O157 throughout the feeding period compared with the controls, and the dose response for NP51 was a linear decrease in prevalence with increasing dose (P < 0.01). No decrease in prevalence for cattle receiving the combination NP51+45 was detected compared with controls (P = 0.15). E. coli O157 prevalences averaged across collection times were 23.9, 10.5, 9.9, 6.8, and 17.3% for cattle in the control, LNP51, MNP51, HNP51, and NP51 +45 groups, respectively. Least squares mean estimates of fecal prevalence at harvest of E. coli O157 were 31.7, 12.5, 17.4, 8.2, and 41.6% among cattle in the control, LNP51, MNP51, HNP51, and NP51+45 groups, respectively. Least squares mean estimates of the percentage of positive hide samples at harvest were 8.7, 5.9, 4.8, 3.4, and 8.6% among cattle in the control, LNP51, MNP51, HNP51, and NP51+45 groups, respectively. The greatest decrease in E. coli O157 carriage was achieved using NP51 at 10(9) CFU per steer.Journal of food protection 02/2005; 68(1):6-10. · 1.80 Impact Factor
Article: Effects of crude protein concentration and degradability on performance, carcass characteristics, and serum urea nitrogen concentrations in finishing beef steers.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two experiments were conducted at two locations to determine the effects of dietary CP concentration and source on performance, carcass characteristics, and serum urea nitrogen (SUN) concentrations of finishing beef steers. British x Continental steers were blocked by BW (357 +/- 28 and 305 +/- 25 kg initial BW; n = 360 and 225; four and five pens per treatment in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively). Steam-flaked corn-based diets were arranged in a 3 x 3 factorial with three CP concentrations (11.5, 13, or 14.5% of DM) and three sources of supplemental CP (N basis): 100% urea; 50:50 blend of urea and cottonseed meal; or 100% cottonseed meal. Steers in both experiments were initially implanted with Ralgro and reimplanted with Revalor-S on d 56. Performance and carcass data were pooled across locations. Crude protein concentration x source interactions were not observed (P = 0.22 to 0.93) for performance and carcass data. Crude protein concentration affected ADG (P = 0.02) and carcass-adjusted (to a common dressing percent within location) ADG quadratically (P = 0.06). Increasing the concentration of supplemental urea linearly increased carcass-adjusted ADG and G:F (P < 0.05) and carcass-adjusted G:F (P < 0.001). Dry matter intake was not affected (P = 0.93) by either CP concentration or source. Hot carcass weight (HCW; P = 0.02), LM area (P = 0.05), and dressing percent (P = 0.03) increased linearly with increasing urea concentration, whereas increasing CP concentration quadratically affected HCW (P = 0.02), with a maximum at 13% CP. Differences in backfat thickness and yield grade were negligible across treatments. Neither marbling score nor percentage of carcasses grading USDA Choice was affected by CP concentration or source. At all times measured, SUN concentrations increased (P < 0.05) with increasing CP concentration, but effects of CP source were small and variable across time. Results indicate that increasing CP concentrations from 11.5 to 13% slightly increased ADG and carcass-adjusted ADG, whereas increasing the proportion of supplemental urea increased carcass-adjusted ADG, G:F, and carcass-adjusted G:F and increased HCW, LM area, and dressing percent. A CP concentration above 13% seemed detrimental to ADG and HCW. Serum urea N increased over time, with CP concentration having a greater effect than CP source.Journal of Animal Science 10/2004; 82(9):2705-17. · 1.92 Impact Factor
Article: Effects of copper and zinc source on performance and humoral immune response of newly received, lightweight beef heifers.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Cu and Zn source on performance, morbidity, and humoral immune response in lightweight, newly received beef heifers. A 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was used in both experiments, with either a sulfate or a polysaccharide mineral complex (SQM) source of both Cu and Zn as the factors. Supplemental Cu and Zn were included in the receiving diet at concentrations designed to provide 10 mg of Cu/kg and 75 mg of Zn/kg (DM basis). In Exp. 1, 219 newly received beef heifers (British x Continental, average initial BW = 208 kg) were given ad libitum access to a 65% concentrate diet for 35 d to determine treatment effects on DMI, ADG, G:F, and bovine respiratory disease (BRD) morbidity. In Exp. 2, 24 heifers (average initial BW = 272 kg) were fed a diet with no supplemental Cu or Zn for 35 d, followed by fasting-refeeding-fasting stress, after which the same treatment diets used in Exp. 1 were fed for 21 d to examine the effects on humoral immune response (plasma IgG titer determined by ELISA on d 7, 14, and 21) to an ovalbumin (OVA) vaccine given on d 0 and 14. Copper source x Zn source interactions were not detected in either experiment. In Exp. 1, neither Cu nor Zn source affected (P > 0.10) DMI, ADG, G:F, or BRD morbidity. In Exp. 2, d 14 (P = 0.02) and 21 (P = 0.06) OVA titers were greater for heifers that received SQM Zn compared with heifers receiving ZnSO4, but heifers receiving CuSO4 had greater OVA titers than did heifers on the SQM Cu treatment on d 14 (P = 0.01) and 21 (P = 0.001). In summary, neither supplemental Cu nor Zn source affected performance or morbidity of lightweight, newly received heifers; however, source of both Cu or Zn affected the humoral immune response to OVA, although source effects were not consistent for the two minerals.Journal of Animal Science 08/2004; 82(8):2467-73. · 1.92 Impact Factor
Article: Influence of grazing dormant native range or winter wheat pasture on subsequent finishing cattle performance, carcass characteristics, and ruminal metabolism.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A winter grazing/feedlot performance experiment repeated over 2 yr (Exp. 1) and a metabolism experiment (Exp. 2) were conducted to evaluate effects of grazing dormant native range or irrigated winter wheat pasture on subsequent intake, feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, total-tract digestion of nutrients, and ruminal digesta kinetics in beef cattle. In Exp. 1, 30 (yr 1) or 67 (yr 2) English crossbred steers that had previously grazed native range (n = 38) or winter wheat (n = 59) for approximately 180 d were allotted randomly within previous treatment to feedlot pens (yr 1 native range = three pens [seven steers/pen], winter wheat = two pens [eight steers/pen]; yr 2 native range = three pens [eight steers/pen], winter wheat = four pens [10 or 11 steers/pen]). As expected, winter wheat steers had greater (P < 0.01) ADG while grazing than did native range steers. In contrast, feedlot ADG and gain efficiency were greater (P < 0.02) for native range steers than for winter wheat steers. Hot carcass weight, longissimus muscle area, and marbling score were greater (P < 0.01) for winter wheat steers than for native range steers. In contrast, 12th-rib fat depth (P < 0.64) and yield grade (P < 0.77) did not differ among treatments. In Exp. 2, eight ruminally cannulated steers that had previously grazed winter wheat (n = 4; initial BW = 407 +/- 12 kg) or native range (n = 4; initial BW = 293 +/- 23 kg) were used to determine intake, digesta kinetics, and total-tract digestion while being adapted to a 90% concentrate diet. The adaptation and diets used in Exp. 2 were consistent with those used in Exp. 1 and consisted of 70, 75, 80, and 85% concentrate diets, each fed for 5 d. As was similar for intact steers, restricted growth of cannulated native range steers during the winter grazing phase resulted in greater (P < 0.001) DMI (% of BW) and ADG (P < 0.04) compared with winter wheat steers. In addition, ruminal fill (P < 0.01) and total-tract OM digestibility (P < 0.02) were greater for native range than for winter wheat steers across the adaptation period. Greater digestibility by native range steers early in the finishing period might account for some of the compensatory gain response. Although greater performance was achieved by native range steers in the feedlot, grazing winter wheat before finishing resulted in fewer days on feed, increased hot carcass weight, and improved carcass merit.Journal of Animal Science 12/2003; 81(12):3191-201. · 1.92 Impact Factor
Article: Effects of live cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus (strains NP45 and NP51) and Propionibacterium freudenreichii on performance, carcass, and intestinal characteristics, and Escherichia coli strain O157 shedding of finishing beef steers.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In Exp. 1, 240 beef steers (initial BW = 332.8 kg) were used to determine the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) plus Propionibacterium freudenreichii (PF) on performance, carcass, and intestinal characteristics; serum IgA concentrations; and the prevalence of Escherichia coli O157 (EC). Cattle were fed a steam-flaked corn-based, 92% concentrate diet, and the four direct-fed microbial (DFM) treatments (12 pens/treatment) included in a randomized complete block design were as follows: 1) control, lactose carrier only (CON); 2) 1 x 10(9) cfu of LA NP51 plus 1 x 10(6) cfu of LA NP45 plus 1 x 10(9) cfu of PF NP24 per animal daily (LA45-51H); 3) 1 x 10(9) cfu of LA NP51 plus 1 x 10(9) cfu of PF NP24 per animal daily (LA51); and 4) 1 x 10(6) cfu of LA NP51 plus 1 x 10(6) cfu of LA NP45 plus 1 x 10(9) cfu of PF NP24 per animal daily (LA45-51L). No differences (P > 0.10) were detected for pen-based performance data. The average lamina propria thickness for LA51 and LA45-51H steers was less (P = 0.02) than the average for CON and LA45-51L steers. Moreover, LA51 and LA45-51H steers had a lower (P = 0.06) prevalence of EC shedding than CON and LA45-51L steers. In Exp. 2, 660 steers fed 91% concentrate, steam-flaked corn-based diets were used to determine the effects of the following DFM treatments (10 pens/treatment) on performance, carcass, and intestinal characteristics: 1) control, lactose carrier only (CON); 2) 5 x 10(6) cfu of LA NP51 plus 5 x 10(6) cfu of LA NP45 plus 1 x 10(9) cfu of PF NP24 per animal daily (LA45-51L); and 3) 1 x 10(9) cfu of LA NP51 plus 5 x 10(6) cfu of LA NP45 plus 1 x 10(9) cfu of PF NP24 per animal daily (LA45-51H). Steers were from two weight groups (WG). One group (SDOF; BW at arrival = 351.5 kg) had grazed before arrival, and the other group (LDOF; BW at arrival = 314 kg) had been in a grower yard. A split plot was used with WG as the whole-plot factor and DFM in the split plot. There was an interaction of WG and DFM for ADG (P = 0.05) and for carcass-adjusted ADG (P = 0.08). The simple-effect ADG and carcass-adjusted ADG means for DFM treatments differed (P < or = 0.01) between WG classifications. Within SDOF, ADG for CON and LA45-51L did not differ (P = 0.70), but both were less (P < or = 0.08) than for LA45-51H. Overall, these data indicate that live cultures of LA plus PF did not greatly affect feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Some of the DFM used decreased fecal EC shedding, which might be related to the results for ileal lamina propria thickness.Journal of Animal Science 11/2003; 81(11):2686-98. · 1.92 Impact Factor

Article: Effects of supplemental vitamin E on performance, health, and humoral immune response of beef cattle.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three experiments were conducted to examine the effect of dietary vitamin E on receiving performance and health and on finishing performance of beef cattle. One hundred twenty beef steers (Exp. 1; initial BW = 173 kg) and 200 beef heifers (Exp. 2; initial BW = 204 kg) were assigned randomly to one of three treatment diets formulated to supply 285, 570, or 1,140 IU/animal daily of supplemental vitamin E during the receiving period. Average daily gain, gain:feed, and DMI were calculated every 14 d, with pen as the experimental unit. Morbidity and retreatment data were analyzed using a nonparametric procedure. After the receiving period, cattle were assigned to a grazing period followed by a finishing program and fed until slaughter. In Exp. 3, 17 beef steers were used to evaluate effects of the same three vitamin E levels on humoral immune response to an ovalbumin vaccine given on d 0 and 14. Jugular blood samples were collected on d 0, 7, 14, and 21. In Exp. 1, vitamin E did not affect (P > 0.10) ADG, DMI, or gain:feed for d 0 to 14, 14 to 28, or 0 to 28. No effects were noted for percentage of morbidity; however, cattle receiving 1,140 IU/d had a numerically (P = 0.15) lower incidence of retreatment. During the 91-d finishing phase, a quadratic effect (P < 0.08) was noted for DMI, ADG, backfat thickness, longissimus muscle area, and yield grade. In Exp. 2, a tendency for a linear (P = 0.10) increase in ADG was observed for the first 14 d of receiving; however, ADG decreased linearly (P = 0.06) with vitamin E concentration thereafter. For the 28-d period, ADG and DMI did not differ among treatments, but gain:feed decreased linearly (P < 0.05) for d 14 to 28 and for d 0 to 28. No effects on percentage morbidity were noted in Exp. 2, and no differences were detected for ADG, gain:feed, or DMI for the 98-d finishing period. There was a linear increase in yield grade (P < 0.05) and a linear (P < 0.08) decrease in longissimus muscle area with increasing vitamin E. Heifers receiving 570 IU of vitamin E during the receiving period tended to have a higher (P < 0.09) dressing percentage at slaughter. In Exp. 3, no significant differences were detected in serum IgG titers to ovalbumin on d 0, 7 or 14; however, on d 21, a linear increase (P = 0.07) in serum IgG titers was noted with supplemental vitamin E. Supplemental vitamin E had limited effects on performance; however, effects on humoral immune response and recovery from respiratory disease warrant further research.Journal of Animal Science 05/2002; 80(4):933-41. · 1.92 Impact Factor

Article: Effects of dietary level of ruminally protected choline on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing beef steers and on growth and seum metabolites in lambs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ruminally protected choline (RPC) was evaluated in two experiments. In Exp. 1, beef steers (n = 160; average initial BW = 350.9 kg) were fed a 90% concentrate diet with either 0, .25, .5, or 1.0% RPC (DM basis) for 112 to 140 d. Feeding .25% RPC increased ADG 11.6% compared with 0% RPC, but responses diminished with increasing RPC level (cubic response, P < .10). Daily DMI was not affected by RPC level, but feed:gain was improved 6.8% with .25% RPC compared with 0% RPC, and responses diminished with increasing RPC level (cubic response, P < .10). Carcass yield grade increased linearly (P < .10) as RPC level increased, but marbling score was lower for all three RPC-containing diets than for the 0% RPC diet (quadratic response, P < .05). In Exp. 2, 20 Suffolk lambs (initial BW = 29.8 kg) were fed an 80% concentrate diet for 56 d with the same RPC levels as in Exp. 1. Serum triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol (CLSTRL) were measured in weekly blood samples, and intensive blood samples were collected on d 28 and 56 to evaluate serum insulin (INS), GH, and NEFA. For the 56-d feeding period, ADG responded quadratically (P < .10) to RPC level, but DMI and feed:gain were not affected. Serum INS and NEFA concentrations increased linearly (P < .05) and serum GH responded cubically (P < .05) to RPC level on d 28, but no differences were noted on d 56. Serum TG concentrations in weekly samples increased linearly (P < .10) with RPC level, but, averaged over all weeks, serum CLSTRL concentrations did not differ (P > .10) among treatments. Quantities of carcass mesenteric (P < .05) and kidney fat (P < .10) increased linearly, but longissimus muscle and liver fat contents did not differ (P > .10) among RPC levels. Supplementing RPC in high-concentrate diets improved performance, but results were not consistent among RPC levels or between cattle and sheep. Potential effects of RPC might be mediated through alterations in fat metabolism and(or) metabolic hormones related to fat metabolism.Journal of Animal Science 11/1999; 77(11):2893-903. · 1.92 Impact Factor

Article: EFFECTS OF INTRANASAL ADMINISTRATION OF A LYSOZYME/ZINC/CARBOPOL PREPARATION ON HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE OF NEWLY RECEIVED BEEF CATTLE1, 2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ninety-one crossbred (British x Continental) steer and bull (17.5%) calves (average BW = 231 + 17.5 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design to examine the effects of intranasal administration of a lysozyme/zinc/carbopol preparation on health and performance of lightweight, newly received cattle. Calves were assigned randomly to pens, and each pair of pens (block) was assigned randomly to one of two treatments at receiving : 1) intranasal (1 mL/nostril) of a lysozyme/zinc/carbopol solution (LYS); or 2) intranasal glycerol and water solution (CON). The lysozyme/zinc/carbopol solution was composed of 2.5 g of lysozyme, 2 g of zinc acetate, 1.25 g of carbopol 940, and 75 mL of glycerin brought to 100 mL volume with deionized water. Cattle were allowed ad libitum consumption of a 65% concentrate receiving diet along with long-stem alfalfa hay. Hay was fed for the first 6 d, after which only the 65% concentrate diet was offered. Cattle were monitored daily for signs of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and treated with antibiotics as needed based on rectal temperature (> 39.7oC). Body weight was measured on d 14 and 28 to determine ADG, and DMI was measured for the same time intervals as ADG. Intranasal administration of LYS did not affect (P > 0.10) ADG for d 0 to 14, 14 to 28, or 0 to 28, nor did it affect feed:gain at any period of the study. H owever, administration of LYS tended to decrease (P < 0.08) DMI from d 0 to 14 and from d 0 to 28 (P < 0.11), and a trend (P < 0.12) for increased morbidity from BRD was observed for cattle receiving intranasal LYS. When analyzed by day after arrival, LYS increased morbidity (P < 0.03) on d 5 following receiving compared with CON. Results suggest that administration of LYS intranasally at receiving tended to increase morbidity later in the receiving period and decrease DMI, possibly because intranasal LYS might have increased the potential for later re-inoculation of the nas opharynx by respiratory pathogens.

In class, "Shoot the Piano Player," by Francois Truffaut in 1960. Pretty good New Wave film. Had one topless woman in it, pre-dating the American rating system.
I just came back from the movie theatres and I saw a christmas carol in 3d. The movie was well done and awesome especially the effects and the graphics too. and some parts of the movie was kinda creepy. overall this movie was brilliantly well done. the 3d itself was beautiful. it made you feel like you were part in that movie.
I saw 'A Christmas Carol' last night.
It was a good one.
Just saw "Astro Boy" again with friends from work. They loved it. 6 thumbs up. BTW, Osamu Tezuka, the Japanese artist who created Astro Boy way back in the 1950's, absolutely idolized Walt Disney. He reportedly watched Snow White and Pinocchio something like 80 times each. He finally met Walt at the 1964 World's Fair, and Walt told him he'd seen the Astro Boy TV series and liked it. Tezuka was walking on air, LOL. He later sketched a picture of Walt with a bright halo around his head. Now that's the kind of fan I totally identify with!

Love that film. Completely forgot that Telly Savalas was in it.

Watchmen: Director's Cut - Had a comic book friend over yesterday to finally get him to see this. He loved it, and it was good for me to see it again before I get the expanded Ultimate Cut next week.
The Little Mermaid - I was listening to Disney film music in the car Saturday morning, and it inspired me to re-watch this, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin again. This is the first time I've seen this DVD played on my HDTV/PS3 set up. I can imagine how much better it will look with it's finally released on Blu-ray. But even so, I got lost in the movie and Ariel's big blue eyes and really enjoyed seeing it again after a few years sitting on my shelf. Next time: Beauty and the Beast!
Saw WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.
...and I still don't know where they are. Nor do I even care. The movie was just too dark and brooding for its own good. Pitty.

Yesterday, in film appreciation class, Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window". We're supposed to write a review focusing on Hitchcock's voyeurism theme.
Full Metal Jacket
In honor of Veterans day. It'd been awhile since I've seen it, still an absolutely AMAZING movie.
Although, this is one movie that has an AMAZING first half and then a not so great second half. The confrontation between Vincent D'Onofrio and R. Lee Ermey is great from the first scene of the movie. It's hard to match that emotion of the movie and the 2nd half doesn't really pull it off, until the last scene IMO.

Beauty and the Beast - Special Edition - I popped this DVD in the other night and completely forgot it had the "Human Again" scene added it until after I saw the "Special Edition" in the title sequence. Watching it right after The Little Mermaid, I was really struck by how much more realistic Belle's character design is compared to Ariel's. But it was great to see it again after so many years.
Up - I invited some of the office girls to my place tonight (I have more girl friends at the office than guy friends) to watch this. Two of them had never seen it before, and I warned them they'd be needing the Kleenex I'd laid in front of them on the coffee table. They were sad at all the right moments, but they never teared up as bad as some of the other girls. They loved the movie tho'. And they were just as annoyed by Russell as I was when I first saw it in theatres, lol!
Batman/Superman: Public Enemies- The movie was great for a comic book that was made to an animated movie. Some parts were left out from the comic book series. The movie was filled with action just like the comic book. It proves that Batman and Superman can take down any villain or teams of villains.
"You are watching FOX"
Yesterday I got to see 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox', and it is. Wes Anderson continues to amaze with his unique vision and humor. It's a wondorous- looking film, one that reminds you of a movie you saw as a kid but didn't really. And as I've known since before he got blown to bits on the NBC series, 'Sisters' - Clooney is a real fox.
Tonight I got to see an advance screening of Disney's first release of 2010, Touchstone Pictures' 'When in Rome'. Cute, fluffy romantic-comedy with Kristen 'Veronica Mars' Bell & Josh 'Las Vegas' Duhamel. Beautiful Italian settings, lovely co-stars, a supporting cast of TV stars of past & present, an Oscar winner, a 'Napoleon Dynamite' mind-bender moment and a real tiny car that looks like Luigi from Pixar's 'Cars'. Be sure to sit through the main end credits. If the studio is lucky it could do half as well as 'The Proposal' did this year.
"If you don't know how to draw, you don't belong in this building" - John Lasseter 2006
Saw A Christmas Carol... ummm I love this story, it's classic for a reason. I don't feel like the movie really embraced the story for what it is. The technology has some odd things going for it as well. It never seems like the characters are actually looking at eachother, it's very unsettling. They often look cross eyed.SpoilerAlso, I thought adding what amounts to a chase scene with the last spirit felt completely unneeded. The movie isn't about that, at that point in the story, it's about Scrooge and his needing to see his possible horrible end, in order to finally get the lesson of the story. Instead, he's shrunk down and chased through the streets so we can have "an action sequence". It made the film LONGER at the sacrafice of the emotional climax of the story.
I was disappointed.

THE Best!

Posted by Reviewer1025457 on Jan 04, 2009
This stuff is THE BEST for heading off a cold or reducing the length if you already have one. You have to take a lot for it to work. At the first sign of symptoms, start taking 2 every 15 minutes until the symptoms are alleviated. Then take 6 a day for a couple more days. I learned this fromt the formulator and it works every time!

This product is a gem. It has helped me through many a cold seasons, even taking it on the onset of a cold, by following the directions on the bottle (which by the way are great), it has definitely made the cold pass through very quickly. I have referred this product to many friends and on average most have had very good results. I would highly recommend this product for the winter season, as your main cold fighting ally!
Best yet.

Don't go. If I could, I would give zero stars. The location on Nelson Brogdon billed my insurance for two visits even though I was only there for one. They used two different doctors names on two different bills. I tried to address the "mistake" with them but never received a response. I also was not contacted with my results by the staff-had to follow up.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
I had done my physical every year since 2010 @ this clinic, but this time they didn't send my report (4 weeks and waiting), usually the nurse would call me to give the heads up abt the result that didn't happen. The Dr referred me for Ultrasound @ Lawrenceville location, waiting for that result too and called several times, they put me on hold every single time. They need a better management.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffWhole album is underrated, sure the songs drag but they all have some really great sections
Album Rating: 4.0except for wreath
Digging: Titus Andronicus - The Most Lamentable Tragedy
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffWtf wreath is amazing
Album Rating: 4.0lol no, one of my least fave opeth tracks tbh
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThe lead guitar a few minutes in is one of the album highlights, same with the guitar solo toward the end
Album Rating: 4.5Oh, ok Artuma.
Yeah, I fucking love Messe. It's one of Ulver's best non-black metal albums imo.
As far as this album goes, I think it would have been stronger if it had more clean sections. I think the softer moments on this rule, but the metal songs (Baying of the Hounds is my exception) are a lot weaker compared to their previous outings.
Digging: Vennart - The Demon Joke
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offwtf baying is amazing
Album Rating: 4.5That's what I meant. Baying is the one heavier song from here that I really enjoy.
Album Rating: 5.0Ghost of Perdition is one of the best songs Opeth have ever written easily. Wreath is okay and By the Pain sucks.
"ghost" and "harlequin" are both in my top 10-15 opeth songs, mire is close too
Album Rating: 5.0Choosing fav Opeth songs is so hard.
Digging: Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffGhost of perdition is one of their best songs and the first 7 or 8 minutes of harlequin forest is incredible. Beneath the mire is amazing too
Album Rating: 5.0Ghost is prob my least fave on here.
Album Rating: 5.0By that I mean its still a 10/10 song.
Album Rating: 4.5I don't like the clean vocals in Ghost. They've always sounded really strange to my ears.
this band is awful
Album Rating: 5.0Br00talK1d thinks Opeth sucks. What a surprise.
Album Rating: 5.0They get worse as the days go by...
even Meshuggah is better than Opeth

In this letter, we propose a construction of nonbinary quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes based on a cyclic maximum distance separable (MDS) code. The parity-check matrices are significantly rank deficient square matrices and their Tanner graphs have a girth of at least 6. The minimum distances of the codes are very respectable as far as LDPC codes are concerned. Based on plurality voting and iterative mechanism, a low-complexity nonbinary massage-passing decoding algorithm is proposed. It only requires finite field operations, integer additions and integer comparisons. Simulation results show that the decoding algorithm is fit for the proposed codes, providing efficient trade-offs between performance and decoding complexity, which suggests that the coding scheme may find some applications in communication or storage systems with high-speed and low-power consumption requirements.

It died on the vine last year, but Connecticut lawmakers have resurrected a bill that would impose new reporting requirements on hedge funds based in the state.
The Connecticut legislature's banking committee held a hearing on the bill, which easily passed the Senate last year but did not receive a hearing in the House of Representatives, yesterday. Last year's version of the bill would have forced hedge funds in the Nutmeg State to disclose any conflicts of interest between investors and fund managers.
That bill will be "a starting point" for this year's version, sponsor and Banks Committee Co-Chairman Robert Duff said. Duff blamed inaction on the federal level—despite widespread support, even within the hedge fund industry, hedge fund regulation has been bottled up in Washington amidst disagreements on other parts of an overall financial regulation overhaul—for the return of the proposal.
"I've had a lot of people inside the industry tell me that I was right on with this bill," Duff told the Hartford Courant. "Even in their opinion, we could go further."
Not everyone in the world's third-largest hedge fund center is quite so gung-ho.
John Brunjes, a partner with the law firm Bracewell & Giuliani and a member of the Connecticut Hedge Fund Association's board of directors, called the Connecticut bill "duplicative of what is currently required under federal and state law."
"It distinguishes Connecticut not as a state that is friendly for managers to do business here, but one that makes it more burdensome and in a way that does not appear to serve the goal of investor protection," Brunjes told FINalternatives.
Brunjes warns that, if the bill were to become law, it could trigger an exodus of hedge funds from southwestern Connecticut to nearby Westchester County in New York.
"It takes very little for them to say, enough is enough, I'm headed over to Westchester," he said. "Rents in White Plains are substantially less than class A space in Greenwich. It's a significant enough motivator for them to realistically consider moving."
Brunjes, who spoke to FINalternatives yesterday while in Hartford lobbying against the measure, concedes that the bill "has a fair chance of passing." But he is stressing that momentum on the federal level appears to be returning, and that Connecticut's regulation should "continue to be driven at the federal level."

The number and size of fish caught by anglers are the most popular information. This is called "Catch Per Unit Effort" by fisheries biologists. However in an attempt to grasp the full underwater picture, they will use a range of sampling techniques. Each method has a degree of sampling bias or selectivity for a species or a size, so biologists must consider such factors as: time of day, season, temperature, habitat and turbidity of the…

Constant Contact: 5 Great Tips for Catch and Release Fishing
One of the most effective ways to catch fish is to use natural bait. And one of the best ways to release fish caught with bait is to keep in constant contact with that bait. Undetected hits can lead to deep hook removals, thus reducing the chances of watching fish swim away unharmed to catch another day. Here are the 5 tips for Catch and Release Fishing with bait: Choose the right hook shape and…
Hare Today
Not only is fall a great time to go fishing, but many people also get decked out in camouflage this time of year to go hunting. Some outdoor adventurers, like contributor Tom Keer, may even work in both activities during a brisk fall day. If you don't hunt, but think you might finally get to learn to tie your own flies this winter, you might want to shoot the breeze with your hunting neighbor. It…
Steel Stockings
In general the colder it gets, the grumpier I get. However, there is one bonus of numb fingers: steelhead. Beginning around late September, these powerful fish leave Lake Erie and enter tributaries of Ohio, New York, Michigan, and Pennsylvania until early spring. Thus, I spend much of that time in neoprene waders. But Pennsylvania hasn't always had a steelhead fishery. In fact, steelhead aren't even native to Lake Erie. According to the Pennsylvania Fish…
Take It or Leaf It
Over the years, I've had many "issues" disrupt fishing plans. Family issues, automotive issues, boat issues, weather issues, bait issues. Recently, even leaves have conspired against a wholesome, therapeutic fishing trip. The fall colors here in Western Pennsylvania have been a spectacular show, but now along with monitoring the weather, I am watching for reports of the leaves that rain and wind may knock into the streams in large doses. Despite warnings, we recently took…
When fishing clear-water small streams and wading along the shore, anglers pay close attention to the location of riffles, pools, and especially, "holes" and how fish relate to these visible features. However when fishing in a boat on large, possibly murky water, it all looks the same. That's why most anglers cast along the shoreline. This is a target they can see. Electronic "fish-finders" help anglers locate features in a seemingly featureless body of water.…

Whose Zander is Grander?
Fishing from a kayak is great fun. Even if the fish aren't biting, you are still kayaking. This light water craft gets one close to water, yet it is stable and stealthy.

Fishing is a great stress reliever. But it also causes stress: on your fishing line. This then, could lead to creating stress for the angler when the line breaks. Here are 3 ways to uses your senses to detect if the fishing line has been damaged and is weak. 1) Feel. Let the line slide between thumb and finger. Is it smooth or rough? If you are casting around rocks, check the line constantly and…
Get Out There
Saturday, Sept. 27 has been designated "National Hunting and Fishing Day." If you are like me, you may be thinking, "Isn't every day a fishing and hunting day?" However, there are still a few people that have yet to experience the outdoors fully, and this day is a good reminder to get out there. There are numerous events scheduled around this date. New Hampshire held their Hunting and Fishing Day Celebration last week but other…

Isn't Greco Roman-Judo something that James Toney is training in?

Well the Kingsport,JC,and Bristol area is in the middle really. You dont have the sterotypical hillbilly rednecks running around everywhere, just in a few places. Most of the fighters/instructors there are good people. But yea, seems like these things happen in a lot of areas, so why just ban it in the "souf"?

Freaken idiots.... Ban martial arts in the SouF. If that was an instructor, I wonder how the students act when they're vagina's hurt.

If you do not know what is platform specific assemblies, please read this post:
Assembly ProcessorArchitecturehttp://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2004/08/11/212555.aspx
Assume your platform specific assemblies will be shipped both in 32 bit and 64 bit OSes, you will need to test your assemblies at least in the following combinations:
1. 32 bit assemblies in 32 bit OS2. 64 bit assemblies in 64 bit OS3. 32 bit assemblies in 64 bit OS
The first two are easy. The last one is a little bit tricky. Remember start from .Net framework 2.0 beta2, portable assemblies will be running as 64 bit processes in 64 bit OS. If you compile your test applications as portable assemblies, they will run as 64 bit processes in 64 bit OS. That means they will not load your 32 bit assemblies!!!
You need to compile your test applications as platform specific, if you want to test 32 bit assemblies in 64 bit OS.

I am 11 weeks pregnant and still nursing LO. He is almost 7 months and I don't have him eating a lot of solids yet. I think he is waking more often because he isn't getting enough milk. I do not want to supplement with formula unless it's absolutely neccesary. I want to make sure he is healthy and growing. He doesn't seem to be putting on as much weight as before.
I need tips on how to boost my supply. I know I need to eat more, but I'm still in the first trimester and feeling really sick. The last few days I've actually had a stomach bug. Does eating oatmeal really help with supply? If so, how much and how often should I eat it? I know I need to eat more calories, and I am trying. I really want to nurse LO until he is a year, which will be 2 months before the new baby is due.

Skyclan's Destiny (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The return of a long lost clan . . .
The newly reunited SkyClan is thriving under Leafstar's leadership. As new apprentices and warriors move through the ranks, Leafstar is determined to believe that SkyClan's future is bright. But outside threats continue to plague the Clan, and as dissent grows from within, Leafstar must face the one question she dreads: Is SkyClan meant to survive?
About the Author
Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having a great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior, shaped by her interest in astrology and standing stones.
Praise For…
"The characters are skillfully developed and Hunter provides a satisfying conclusion. 'Warriors' aficionados will bury their noses in the super volume and won't emerge until they have whetted their appetites for the next installment."
