Feedlot Processing and Arrival Cattle Management

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2015
Acclimating newly arrived cattle in a feedlot setting can increase cattle confidence, reduce stress, improve immune function, and increase cattle well-being. Understanding cattle instincts and using low-stress handling techniques teaches cattle to trust their caregivers and work efficiently for them throughout the feeding period.

Brisket Disease in Yearling Feedlot Cattle

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1976
SUMMARY During all of 1974, we surveyed, for illnesses and deaths, about 407,000 yearling feedlot cattle maintained at 1,600 m altitude. Of 1,988 cattle necropsied, 116 (5.8%) had brisket disease. The malady occurred during all seasons but was most common throughout fall and winter.

Parasitism in Feedlot Cattle

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1978
Anthelmintics were administered during processing at the Garden City Experiment Station. Four trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of: levamisole (boluses, cattle wormer pellets and injectable solution); and thiabendazole boluses. Levamisole hydrochloride injectable solution (18.2%) was administered at 2 cc/cwt. Levamisole wormer pellets were

Field Microbiology for Feedlot Cattle

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2003
Bacteriology is a useful diagnostic and treatment regimen management tool. The perceived difficulty, complexity and expense cause many veterinary practitioners to avoid diagnostic microbiology in their office laboratory. In reality, targeting diagnostic microbiology to the disease affecting animals in specific production management systems decreases ...

Hemorrhagic syndrome in feedlot cattle

The Bovine Practitioner, 1972
A surgically induced hemorrhagic syndrome of feedlot cattle is described. The syndrome appears to be related to a deficiency of one of the vitamin K dependent factors, especially Factor VII. Oral medication with Menadione appeared to be effective as a means of prevention.

Nutrition of Feedlot Cattle

2019
Animals consume feed to meet their energy needs. Assuming the feed has a reasonable balance of nutrients, the major factor governing the amount of feed consumed is the energy need of the animal. This chapter seeks to present the equations and method of calculating predicted performance based on the net energy system.

Journal of Animal Science, 1998
Sudden deaths or the sudden death syndrome are perceived as major concerns in cattle feedlots because most of these deaths occur in cattle near market weight. Etiology and preventive measures are poorly defined. The current literature indicates that sudden deaths are associated most commonly with digestive upsets.

Odor Intensities at Cattle Feedlots

Transactions of the ASAE, 1977
ABSTRACT ODOR intensities measured at two cattle feedlots in Texas ranged from 1.5 to 170 dilutions to threshold (DT), which covers the measurement range of the Barnabey-Cheney Scentometer. The average odor reading at the surface of a 4000 head feedlot, determined by monitoring four randomly selected pens for 7 mo, was 31 DT. The run-off settling basin
