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:

There was also a collaboration between different organizations in the group, such as Iowa State and Illinois are working together in a study to evaluate the effects of vitamin E injection on early-weaned calf response to shipping.           

This summary of our work shows how active and informative this group has been in the beef industry. Plus, all of the mentorship and guidance that are being passed from the older generation to the younger.

Impacts

  1. Our understanding of how kernel processed corn silage might be best utilized in growing diets compared to finishing diets will allow for a more optimized approach to use of roughage sources when managing an evolving roughage inventory.
  2. Understanding the ways to optimize labor and simplify management is of major importance currently.
  3. Nutritional practices, such as feeding different fatty acids, roughage levels, grain processing methods, and different feed additives could enhance immune response through increased energy intake, decreased inflammation, and oxidative stress during receiving period.
  4. Optimal amounts of roughage in finishing diets containing grain by-products are not completely understood, although roughage can substantially affect dry matter intake and ultimately feedlot performance and carcass characteristics.
  5. Achieving a rapid repletion of water and key nutrients during the initial period following arrival can be a critical factor for helping the animal make a healthy and smooth transition to the feedlot environment, particularly when cattle are received during periods when heat stress may be occurring.
  6. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University observed that beef x Holstein steers were more feed efficient than Holstein steers per Elanco benchmarks, with feed efficiency values more similar to those of native steer benchmarks.
  7. Current corn prices are very high in comparison to the previous 20-year average price. Current work for the University of Missouri provides farmers and ranchers with data that allow them to determine the value of corn processing when feeding growing or lactating cattle.
  8. Previous trials from UC Davis have reported that metabolizable protein requirements on calf-fed Holstein steers are often not met during the growing phase (first 112-168 days out of the ~330 days on feed) of those animals. Therefore, we investigate alternatives to enhance metabolizable protein supply to calf-fed Holstein steers.
  9. Trials relating RFI to different measures have been completed and shown important animal variation that needs to be identified somehow early in a feeding periods. We are relating the behavior of animals at the bunk in a feedlot to production measures. Whether behavior of animal early in a feeding period may be useful will be determined.
  10. Increasing growth performance and health of feedlot calves is an important way to decrease morbidity and mortality associated with bovine respiratory disease (BRD).
  11. Proper nutrition for newly received calves is important to recovery from stress associated with weaning, transportation, and the new feedlot environment.
  12. Nutritional practices, such as feeding different fatty acids, roughage levels, grain processing methods, and different feed additives can enhance immune response through increased energy intake, decreased inflammation, and oxidative stress.
  13. Enhance the utilization of C from energy feeds to compete in an energy economy and improve national food security.
