ENGINEERING PROPERTIES AND ECONOMICS OF SOIL CEMENT FEEDYARD SURFACING

Transactions of the ASAE, 2001
Soil cement, a compacted mixture of soil and portland cement, has been used successfully in the past for surfacing roads and airports. Hard surfacing is being evaluated by open-lot beef cattle feedyard owners as a means to improve manure quality and increase animal performance. In this research, the engineering properties and economics of using soil

Fatigue and the Need for Recovery among Latino/a Immigrant Cattle Feedyard Workers

Journal of Agromedicine, 2021
Cattle feedyards are animal feeding operations where beef cattle are finished to market weight on grain. Cattle feeding can be dirty, demanding, and dangerous work. This study sought to assess the predictors of fatigue and the need for recovery among Latino/a immigrant cattle feedyard workers in the United States.

Judicious use of antimicrobials in the feedyard

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2013
Antimicrobial use in food animals has come under increased scrutiny over the past decade, due to concerns related to antimicrobial resistance. Some reports have indicated that the vast bulk of antimicrobial use occurs in food animals, although many question the accuracy of those reports. Beef cattle producers and veterinarians recognize that antibiotic

No Loose Parts Necropsy Procedure for the Feedyard

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2003
The necropsy technique outlined accomplishes three important objectives: 1) examination of all body systems, including the CNS, with the speed required to complete the procedure in less than 30 minutes; 2) targets identification of infectious disease in body systems through lymph node pathology; and 3) minimizes hide damage and detached body parts ...

Preconditioning of Calves from the Feedyard Perspective

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1986
Young calves or freshly weaned calves that are placed directly on high grain concentrate feeding can be expected to experience increased health-related problems compared to cattle of yearling age. Survey data of feedlot cattle in Texas generated by Bechtol and Jordan (I) show that morbidity and mortality averaged 7.29% and 0.70%, respectively.

Effect of Cattle Feedyard Runoff on Soil Infiltration Rates

Journal of Environmental Quality, 1975
AbstractA compact clay soil from a playa lake and a relatively porous, blocky, buried soil, both representative of feedyard runoff holding basins in the Texas High Plains, were treated with clear ground water and synthesized feedyard runoff. Infiltration rates were measured by using constant heads of liquid on undisturbed laboratory cores and in field ...
