The cumulative effects of different levels of annual energy intake over the first two parities on two breeds of beef cow (Aberdeen Angus: small size and low milk potential and Simmental: large size and high milk potential) were assessed for productive and reproductive traits during the early post-partum period. Heifers from each breed were allocated to one of two levels of annual energy intake (mean daily intakes equivalent to 705 and 820 kJ/kg M<sup>0.75</sup> metabolisable energy) in a 2 (genotype) x 2 (feeding level) x 4 animals (replicates) factorial design each year.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines how reproductive efficiency can be improved through dietary intervention. The use of diet to enhance reproduction is theoretically a low-cost and low-input method that will co-align with reproductive technologies' beneficiary effects. Ideally, with improved nutrition intervention, these technologies will become more feasible and practical to producers. The first study examines the diet nutrient composition and its relative interactions on days to ovulation postpartum, overall pregnancy rates, and pregnancy at first AI in cattle. Most notably, the highest predicted ov

In an 84 d trial, lactating cows were fed zero, 900 or 1800 ppm total gossypol (TG) in diets from WCS and/or CSM. Plasma gossypol (PG) in cows receiving 1800 ppm TG plateaued at 3.28 μg/ml after 28 d. However, by 28 d, erythrocyte fragility increased for cows receiving WCS diets. Plasma chemistry, vitamin A, body temperatures, and respiration rates were within normal ranges. Ser

Abstract:

Cattle operations in the Southeastern United States are primarily cow-calf and stocker based and rely heavily on forage. As such, research regarding supplementation strategies that are specific to both the forage cultivars and management strategies that are common in the region are necessary for accurate nutritional recommendations. Additionally, further research is necessary to develop solutions to cope with the negative effects of fescue toxicosis that are common in the region. Therefore, the objectives of this dissertation are to examine supplementation strategies specific to growing cattle

Abstract:

The overall objective of this thesis was to assess the effect of feed area design including feeding space availability, barrier type and stocking density, on the feeding behaviour of dairy cows. Feed intake in dairy cows is directly related to milk production, thus a good food supply is extremely important to the modern, high producing dairy cow. Intake is critical for improving milk production, health, body condition and the welfare of the animals. Feeding designs can have a major effect on behaviour and feed intake, therefore it is an important consideration when housing cattle and other liv

Abstract:

Supplements are often fed to stocker cattle on forage-based diets to improve animal performance. Delivery costs can make up a substantial portion of the cost of supplementation. Reducing supplementation frequency can reduce labor and equipment costs and therefore has the potential to increase profit. However, less frequent feeding requires feeding larger quantities of supplement at once and can increase the likelihood of negative associative effects of supplementation. Additionally, little is understood about the metabolic response of ruminants to large fluxuation in nutrient intake. A 50:50 b
