Response of Growing Cattle to a Cumulative Management Strategy Including an Implant, Ionophore, and Byproduct Feed Supplementation While Grazing Tall Fescue Pastures with Varying Toxicity

An abstract of a study by Diaz et al evaluating the growth response of steer calves to a combination management strategy while grazing low- to high-toxicity tall fescue (Festuca Arundinacea) pastures is presented. In conclusion, BW gain and skin temperatures may be increased by cumulative management...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Diaz et al evaluating the growth response of steer calves to a combination management strategy while grazing low- to high-toxicity tall fescue (Festuca Arundinacea) pastures is presented. In conclusion, BW gain and skin temperatures may be increased by cumulative management (CM) in steers grazing toxic fescue and the beneficial effects of CM on ADG are greater as plant toxicity increases.
