Effect of urea inclusion in diets containing corn dried distillers grains on feedlot cattle performance, carcass characteristics, ruminal fermentation, total tract digestibility, and purine derivatives-to-creatinine index

Abstract: Increased availability of rapidly fermentable carbohydrates and a great proportion of corn-derived CP in the diet may result in a degradable intake protein (DIP) deficit. Therefore, ruminal DIP deficit may result from high dietary inclusion of processed corn grain and small to moderate inclusion of corn distillers grains (DG). Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of increasing dietary DIP concentration through the inclusion of urea on feedlot cattle performance, carcass characteristics, rumina… Show more

“…Numerous published studies have addressed the influence of management factors on beef carcass quality (e.g., Ceconi, Ruiz-Moreno, DiLorenzo, DiCostanzo, and Crawford, 2015;Domingues et al, 2015;Krueger et al, 2010). However, they did not systematically report the same proxy traits, and it is not clear whether these proxy traits reflect the same changes in carcass composition as do the direct methods.…”

“…The rumen is well known as a natural bioreactor for highly efficient degradation of fibers, and rumen microbes play an important role on fiber degradation [1], which provides energy and proteins to the host by producing volatile fatty acids and bacterial proteins through anaerobic fermentation [2]. Carbohydrates are fermented by a variety of bacteria and enzymes in the rumen, then transformed into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) [3,4].…”
