Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:2284. [PMID: 37508060 PMCID: PMC10376268 DOI: 10.3390/ani13142284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aims to explore the different growth performances of the Angus bull on potato vine and leaf mixed silage in the early fattening period and to provide a reference animal production trial. Thirty-six 13-month-old Angus bulls were divided into three groups with 403.22 ± 38.97 kg initial body weight and fed with three different silage diets: (1) control: whole-plant corn silage as control (CS); (2) treatment 1: 50% whole-plant corn +50% potato vine and leaf silage (PVS1); and (3) treatment 2: 75% potato vine and leaf +15% rice straw +10% cornmeal silage (PVS2). After the 14 days pre-feeding, the formal experiment was carried out for 89 days. The result showed that the ash content of the potato vine and leaf mixed silage (PVS) in the treatment groups was higher than that in control group, and the ash content of PVS1 and PVS2 even reached 10.42% and 18.48% (DM%), respectively, which was much higher than that of the CS group at 4.94%. The crude protein content in silage also increased with the additional amount of potato vine and leaf. The apparent crude protein digestibility of the PVS groups was also significantly higher than that of the CS group (p < 0.05). In terms of serum biochemical indexes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in the experimental groups was significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.05). Compared with PVS2, cholesterol (CHO) was significantly lower in the CS and PVS1 groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of PVS2 were significantly higher than those of the CS and PVS1 group (p < 0.05), and daily gain (ADG) as a key production index had a significantly negative correlation with the CHO (r = -0.38, p < 0.05) and HDL-C (r = -0.40, p < 0.05) of cattle. In conclusion, PVS had higher crude protein content and ash but less starch than whole-corn silage. The PVS could replace whole-plant corn silage at the same dry matter status and did not affect the weight gain in this trial.

Somboonchai T, Foiklang S, Panatuk J, Cherdthong A, Laorodphan N, Wanapat M, Yammuen-Art S, Kang S. Replacement of soybean meal by red yeast fermented tofu waste on feed intake, growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in Thai Brahman crossbred beef cattle. Trop Anim Health Prod 2022; 54:133.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of replacing soybean meal (SBM) by red yeast fermented tofu waste (RYFTO) on feed intake, growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in Brahman crossbred beef cattle. A total of 12 cattle (1.5-2 years old and 275.0 ± 6.1 kg of initial body weight) were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments in completely randomized design. There were three dietary treatments as following: Control (SBM), 50%replacing SBM by red yeast fermented tofu waste (RYFTO50), and 100% replacing SBM by red yeast fermented tofu waste (RYFTO100) in concentrate diet raised for 60 days. Rice straw was used as roughage source and fed ad libitum. The results found that cattle received the diet with replacing SBM by RYFTO both RYFTO50 and RYFTO100 group affect roughage intake, total dry matter intake, and ADG (P < 0.05) except the digestibility and FCR (P > 0.05). The feed cost of roughage, concentrate, and total feed cost were lowest in RYFTO100 group when compared to the control (P < 0.05). Blood urea nitrogen was deducted when cattle received RYFTO100 when compared to the control and RYFTO50 (P < 0.05). However, the carcass characteristics and meat quality were similar among treatments (P > 0.05). In conclusion, the 100% replacing SBM by RYFTO in concentrate diet affect roughage intake and ADG without negative effect on concentrate intakes, digestibility, carcasses and meat quality. Therefore, RYFTO could be used as a protein source for partial replacement of SBM in the, concentrate diet at 50% which can lower feed cost. This study suggested that the further study should be conducted for longer period to gain the benefits of carotene in red yeast on carcass and meat quality.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted with 16 Japanese Black cows to determine the effects of different days on feed (89, 208, 271 and 341 days), inclusion levels of grain in concentrate (60% vs. 40%; dry matter (DM) basis) and roughage sources (hay vs. rice straw) on finishing performance. Additional four cows were slaughtered at 0 days on feed to obtain non-fed carcass data. Maximum carcass weights were observed in cows fed for 271 days; an increase in carcass weight of only 14 kg was shown from 208 days to 271 days. The marbling score increased (P < 0.05) with days on feed. The percentage of fat in the subprimal rib linearly increased (P < 0.05) with days on feed. The percentage of lean meat was higher (P < 0.05) for cows fed rice straw than for cows fed hay as a roughage source. Increasing the days on feed decreased (P < 0.05) the yellowness of the fat. The effects of the inclusion levels of grain in concentrate on the finishing performance of cows were lower than the other two factors. In conclusion, feeding improves carcass values, but feeding over 208 days is an inefficient system of production in cows.
