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.

Zygomycotic Lymphadenitis in Slaughtered Feedlot Cattle

Veterinary Pathology, 2009
During the 12 months of 2006, zygomycotic lymphadenitis was diagnosed in 194 of 198 feedlot steers (0.04% of cattle slaughtered during that period) in a California slaughterhouse as part of bovine tuberculosis surveillance. Mesenteric lymph nodes were involved in 190 cases.

Marbling in feedlot cattle

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, 1974
The degree of marbling and the thickness of subcutaneous fat at the 10th rib cut of the M. longissimus was studied in three groups of 450 kg Santa Gertrudis crossbred and Hereford steers fattened for 120 days on three grain-based diets in a commercial feedlot.

Processing of Corn and Sorghum for Feedlot Cattle

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2007
Approximately 75% to 80% of expenses involved in cattle feeding in commercial feedlots are feed costs. Grains are used in feedlot diets to improve the performance and efficiency of feedlot cattle by increasing the energy density of diets. Grains for these diets are commonly processed for various reasons, including improving palatability, altering ...

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.

Sudden Deaths in Yearling Feedlot Cattle

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1976
SUMMARY A survey of the causes for fatal diseases of yearling feedlot cattle was conducted on more than 407,000 cattle during a 14-month period. Of the 4,260 (1%) cattle that died during this period, 1,358 (32%) were categorized as cases of “sudden death syndrome.” Of the 11 most frequent causes of the syndrome, as determined at necropsy, only 4—bloat,

Nutrition of Newly Received Feedlot Cattle

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2015
The stress of transition from pasture to the feedlot environment creates unique and variable nutritional challenges. The factors that are used to assign a risk category for the likelihood of developing bovine respiratory disease include time in transit from their origin, which is likely to be highly correlated with the amount of time away from quality ...
