Direct-fed microbials (DFM) have been used to improve livestock production efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Spore-forming bacteria such as Bacillus spp. present handling and processing advantages for use as a DFM; however, more information is needed about their effects in beef cattle. The objective of this s...

Our objectives were to evaluate the effects of limit-feeding high forage and high concentrate diets pre- and post- calving on colostrum and milk yield and composition, nutrient utilization, and calf performance. Forty-nine pregnant (236 ± 10 d of gestation) Angus and Simmental-Angus cows (BW = 606±68kg) were blocked...

Previous research has demonstrated that prepartum supplementation of dairy cows with rumen-protected choline (RPC) can improve calf health, increase growth performance during the finishing phase, and improve marbling score in beef ´ dairy calves. To evaluate the effects of maternal supplementation with RPC in beef co...
