Aflatoxicosis in feedlot cattle

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1985
Aflatoxicosis was diagnosed in lightweight feedlot cattle fed aflatoxin-contaminated cottonseed or gin trash. Clinical signs of hepatic damage and death were recorded for more than 200 of the 14,000 animals in a feedlot. Aflatoxin concentration in feedlot products fed to these cattle ranged from 96 to 1,700 ng/g.

Bronchiectasis in Yearling Feedlot Cattle

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1976
SUMMARY Throughout all of 1974, we surveyed, for illnesses and deaths, about 407,000 yearling feedlot cattle. From the 3,943 dead cattle, 1,988 necropsies were made; of the cattle necropsied, 32 (1.6%) had bronchiectasis. In this disease, the permanently dilated small bronchi and bronchioles, located in ventral parts of the lungs, were filled with ...

The Modern Feedlot for Finishing Cattle

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2014
The modern beef feedlot has evolved into a complex system that is very dependent upon technology. Modern feedlots are organized into departments, often including the office, cattle, yard, feed milling, and feed departments, that allow for improvements in production efficiency through the specialization of management and labor.

Liver Abscesses in Feedlot Cattle

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2007
Liver abscesses in feedlot cattle result from aggressive grain-feeding programs and are influenced by a number of dietary and management factors. They have a major economic impact on the feedlot industry because of liver condemnation and reduced animal performance and carcass yield.
