Accomplishments

Accomplishments: Cattle are being fed to larger weights much more efficiently. However, public concern over the use of traditional technologies such as growth promotants and antibiotics has challenged the beef industry. Members of the NCCC-308 multistate group are investigating the role that stress and digestive processes play in disease prevention and are developing new feeding strategies and feed additives that improve animal health, increase growth, and enhance meat quality. Short-term outcomes: None to report. Outputs: Members of the NCCC-308 multistate group have organized 38 meetings that discuss feedlot nutrition and management, presented 25 scientific presentations, and published 35 peer reviewed journal articles. Important findings include: <ul> <li>Trucking stress decreases cattle growth performance and compromises immunity. Overcoming the oxidative stress induced by trucking may result in less days cattle must be in the feedlot to reach desired end body weights. (IA)</li> <li>Copper status of cattle may influence growth response to beta agonists and anabolic implants. (IA)</li> <li>Antibody titers to BVDV Type I linearly improved with vitamin E supplementation (IA)</li> <li>Cattle exhibited similar physiologic and immunologic responses to stress (exposure to CRH+VP) regardless of whether exposure was for 1 day or 4 consecutive days (WTAMU).</li> <li>Selective use of antibiotic at feedlot entry based on white blood cell count decreased antibiotic usage and was as effective as metaphylaxis at decreasing morbidity (MI)</li> <li>Aspirin induces leaky gut and can be used as a model to study gastrointestinal tract barrier dysfunction in feedlot cattle (IN).</li> <li>Fructose supplementation to neonatal Holstein calves increased small intestinal mass and glucoamylase activity but not influence lactase, isomaltase, and maltase in different segments of the small intestine (NDSU).</li> <li>Leucine supplementation did not influence N balance, increased serum leucine concentration, linearly decreased serum methionine and alanine concentration, and linearly increased pancreas weight (NDSU).</li> <li>Parasite control of cows and calves during the pre-weaning phase improved carcass quality of calves. (IA)</li> <li>Despite concerns that monensin efficacy has diminished in recent years, it was demonstrated to still increase daily gain and end-weight of stocker cattle, while providing gain and efficiency advantages when provided during the finishing phase (OK)</li> <li>Feeding either the DFM-Enzyme blend improved gain and feed conversion efficiency after 28 d but not after 49 d on feed (MN).</li> <li>Inclusion of Bacillus subtilus during the feedlot receiving period improves cattle health and performance (WTAMU).</li> <li>Administration of a DNA immunostimulant did not mitigate viral (IBRV) recrudescence following stress challenge with dexamethasone (WTAMU).</li> <li>Steers fed at restricted intake gained less and converted feed dry matter to gain less efficiently than those that were fed ad libitum. However, cattle fed ad libitum used intake above that achieved by restricted-fed cattle at a poorer feed conversion efficiency (MN).</li> <li>The 2016 NASEM model under predicts performance of lightweight beef steers by as much as 29%. (IL)</li> <li>Collecting rumen fluid through a suction strainer via the rumen cannula is preferred for conducting in vitro dry matter disappearance assay to predict ruminal degradation of various feedstuffs. (IL)</li> <li>The USDA yield grad equation to predict cutability of beef carcasses does not accurately evaluate the Jersey breed of cattle (OH).</li> <li>The Fukutsuru line of Wagyu cattle have a similar feed efficiency to Angus cattle and has greater growth and less marbling than the Yasufuku line of Wagyu cattle (OH).</li> <li>Nutrient restriction during gestation reduced pancreatic digestive enzyme activities, whereas nutrient restriction during mid-gestation followed by realimentation increased small intestinal lactase activity (NDSU).</li> <li>Dietary omega-3 fatty acids in cow diets alters cow conception rates and influences progeny muscle gene expression (IN).</li> </ul> Activities: <ul> <li>Conducted over 22 nutrition and management studies.</li> <li>Organized 38 meetings that discuss feedlot nutrition and management.</li> <li>Presented 25 scientific presentations.</li> <li>Published 35 peer reviewed journal articles.</li> </ul>

Impact Statements

Impacts: Member of the NCCC-308 multistate group have identified management strategies and effective alternatives that decrease the use of traditional growth technologies. Judicious use of traditional technologies and discovery of new methods to combat disease and promote growth means that feedlot operators are better equipped to meet the challenges of beef production in an era where mitigating consumer concern is central to success. Further, these new technologies to promote efficient growth will better enable producers to meet consumer demands for safe, affordable nutritious beef.

Brief Summary of Minutes

The meeting was held virtually due to the ongoing COVID pandemic. The previous meeting, 2020 annual meeting, had been canceled due to the same pandemic and the committee felt it prudent to abbreviate the usual meeting and hold it virtually to avoid another year lost.

May 18, ZOOM: Participants were “welcomed” to the host institution by Dr. Adele Turzillo, Department Head, Animal Sciences, Penn State. Dr. Steve Loerch reminded the committee of the history and mission of USDA NCCC committees, welcoming new and returning members to the committee.

Special discussions: The Journal of Animal Science has requested a collection of history from the committee. Kendall Swanson has agreed to chair a subcommittee to pull together the collection.

Station reports took up the remained of the time on May 18.

May 19, ZOOM: The committee welcomed a new USDA representative, Deputy Director Deb Hamernick. The Deputy Director shared a copy of the NIFA report and stated she will remain the representative for the foreseeable future.

The committee readdressed questions regarding the JAS special issues requests and formalized a path forward.

Station reports took up the remained of the time on May 19.

The 2022 meeting was proposed to be in person May 17-18, 2022 in State College, PA. Future meetings will be hosted in 2023 in El Centro by UC Davis, 2024 in Gainesville by University of Florida, and 2025 in Lincoln by University of Nebraska.

Accomplishments

Accomplishments: Cattle continue to be fed to larger weights, in part due to packer access issues in the industry. Concerns over the length of time on feed and the shortage of a qualified work force have challenged the beef industry. Members of the NCCC-308 multistate group are investigating the role or corn processing and forage inclusion in feedlot cattle diets as well as alternative supplements to improve animal health, increase growth, and enhance meat quality. Short term outcomes: New facilities were designed at more than 3 locations. Projects are being initiated. Outputs: Key finding from the years review included: <ul> <li>Animal variation early in a feeding period can be useful to predict feeding outcomes and thus aid precision management in a feedlot.</li> <li>Regardless of hormone implant strategies chosen in calf-fed Holstein steers, implant combinations should be selected to optimize hormone release before the onset of high heat load for cattle.</li> <li>When feedlot cattle are fed dry rolled corn instead of whole shelled corn, they have a grater average daily gain, and greater feed intake, which produce heavier hot carcass weight, and more Longissimus dorsi area, but similar marbling score and back fat thickness.</li> <li>Bedding applications should be considered to improve growth performance and feed efficiency by reducing maintenance energy requirements in beef steers during the feedlot receiving and finishing phase.</li> <li>Grain-milling byproducts improve performance and increase ruminal pH, high-risk cattle do not require a high-roughage receiving diet at arrival, and that aggressive implant strategies are beneficial in long-fed cattle.</li> <li>Increasing ruminal propionate has the ability to alter feed intake and feeding behavior in steers fed a finishing diet.</li> <li>We observed that beef x Holstein steers were more likely to grade USDA Choice or above while yielding greater ribeye area and backfat than their Holstein counterparts.</li> <li>Alfalfa haylage has the potential to substitute a portion, if not all, of the forage proportion of finishing diets.</li> <li>Trace mineral nutrition of cattle has a marked impact on cattle response to growth promoting technologies such as beta agonists and anabolic implants.</li> <li>Transit stress causes oxidative stress in cattle and cattle antioxidant capacity at time of trucking may dictate their post-transit performance response to additives that enhance antioxidant status.</li> <li>Intentionally induced leaky gut using aspirin decreases growth and re-partitions carcass components from lean to fat in feedlot cattle.</li> <li>By increasing gastrointestinal butyrate concentrations, a molasses based liquid supplement improves gut health, intake, and gain in stressed newly-weaned, receiving feedlot cattle.</li> <li>Processing grain helps ensure optimum gain and efficiency while minimizing ruminal acidosis.</li> <li>Rolling corn when processed as high-moisture corn lead to 5% better feed use efficiency as compared to a common hammer-mill method, likely due to less fines or small particles at time of ensiling.</li> </ul> Activities Members of the NCCC-308 multistate group have organized meetings that discuss feedlot nutrition and management, presented scientific presentations, and published peer reviewed journal articles. These included: <ul> <li>Conducted over 25 nutrition and management studies.</li> <li>Organized 36 extension meetings or products that discuss feedlot nutrition and management.</li> <li>Presented 66 scientific, poster, and oral presentations.</li> <li>Published 82 peer reviewed journal articles.</li> </ul> Grant funding obtained by the committee members included: <ul> <li>Evaluating the cost of feeding hay or soyhulls as roughage sources in sheep. OSWP. ($8,713.6; 100% Award). PI: Relling, Alejandro</li> <li>USDA-NIFA $191,938 Smith (SDSU), Loy (ISU), Swanson (NDSU), DiCostanzo (U of M). Characterization of corn harvested at high moisture in cattle feeding yards in the Upper Midwest. 10/1/2020—9/30/2023</li> <li>USDA-NAFA $93,076 DiCostanzo. Energy and economic value of alfalfa, harvested as haylage, in growing cattle diets. 3/1/2021—2/28/2023</li> <li>Obtaining funding has been challenging at times for many of the production-based applied feedlot management questions we have generated.</li> </ul> Milestones: None to report

Brief Summary of Minutes

Committee members arrived on May 17. A dinner organized by the host was offered so old and new members had time for introductions and socializing. On May 18, the meeting started at the Ag Sci & Ind Building at Penn State University. After a welcome meeting with Dr. Adele Turzillo (Department head of the Animal Science program at PSU) and Dr. Steve Loerch (Senior associate dean at the College of AG at PSU). The day's first meeting was to address comments and plans for 2022. The committee decided that UC Davis will host the 2023 meeting at the Desert Research and Extension Center. After a meeting with Angelica VanGoor, the NIFA National Program Leader for NCCC308 presented the NIFA report. The group finished the first morning with the experiment station report. In the afternoon, the group visited Penn State Facilities such as Meat Science Lab (Heather Hunt), the Beef/Sheep Center, and the Armsby Respiration Calorimeter. The group also visited the P.A. Dept of Ag Livestock Eval Center. On May 19, the day was filled with a long list of experiment station reports. Total reports from 13 different universities and experimental stations were presented during the 2 days of the meeting. Part of what was covered in the meeting, such as research publications, meetings attended, extension work, and grants, is listed in the accomplishment section of the current document.

Accomplishments

Even though the pandemic may have slowed down research projects in specific cases, this committee has been extremely active in the past year. Our group has produced over 100 extension publications, over 90 scientific publications, and over 75 abstracts presented in conferences accros the country. Content in the format of extension articles, newsletters, podcasts, videos, producers' reports, and invited talks all over the country and internationally was produced by researchers in the NCCC308 committee. Examples of this work can be illustrated by the 12 virtual meetings organized in Michigan by Dr. Jaborek to talk about beef production. Dr. Felix from Penn State has organized over 25 events to share knowledge with producers. Dr. Carvalho from UC Davis has a weekly podcast (CattleCal Podcast) to share knowledge and career advice to people who wants to work in the Ag Industry, several people from the committee have participated in the podcast, and many are going to in the next coming year, all of the content produced in the CattleCal podcast it is also available in a monthly newsletter format. The Iowa State beef team also has a very complete and informative newsletter (Growing Beef Newsletter). The BeefWatch Podcast is produced by the University of Nebraska to share knowledge with producers. The I-BELIEF program is being developed by the University of Illinois in partnership with the USDA and other universities in Illinois to train future leaders in beef cattle nutrition research.             In March of 2022, our group, led by Dr. Swanson and Dr. Relling, organized a ruminant nutrition symposium at the American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) Midwest Meetings in Omaha – NE, where participants from our group had the opportunity to form groups and present topics related to ruminant nutrition and beef production. Our group is also working with the ASAS to launch in the fall of 2022 a special edition of the Journal of Animal Science, where research projects and review papers will be published in JAS.             Our goal as a group is to address questions that beef producers and the general public raise. Examples of current research topics being addressed by our group are Environmental issues in raising beef cattle in confined systems; the Use of emerging technologies in the beef cattle industry; Use of byproducts in beef cattle diets, in particular in the current scenario where corn prices are greater; Use of beef semen in the dairy herd and its impact in the beef supply chain.             Most of the research produced by the group has been funded by University internal funding sources, private companies' partnerships, and state and federal funding sources, for example: <ul> <li>Felix, T. (Principal Investigator), Grant, "Breeding beef on Holstein: producing crossbred calves that are profitable from the dairy to the meat packer.
