Within-herd variation in energy utilization for maintenance and gain in beef cows.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jul 1990

DiCostanzo A, Meiske J C, Plegge S D, Peters T M, Goodrich R D

Abstract excerpt

Fourteen mature, nonpregnant, nonlactating Angus cows (498 kg) were individually fed through two consecutive phases (maintenance [M], 80 d and ad libitum [A], 70 to 79 d) to estimate within-herd variation in individual cow ME requirements for maintenance (MEm) and to identify factors contributing to this variation. Body composition was determined at initiation of phase M, at termination of phase M (also...
