Total Protein Requirements of Beef Cattle III: Match the Diet to the Cattle Requirements
Abstract
AN188, a 4-page fact sheet by Matt Hersom and Jeffrey N. Carter, is the third of a three-part series on protein requirements of beef cattle. It applies the knowledge from the first two parts in a realistic example, by providing descriptions of one beef cow in three different productive states, and the nutrient profiles of the corresponding diet. Includes a table showing how changes in diet quantity and nutrient composition affect cow body composition. Published by the UF Department of Animal Sciences, August 2007. 2007 PDF unavailable, revised 2010 version included instead.
