A feedlot study was conducted comparing the effects of a direct-fed microbial feed additive (DFM) to no feed additive (CON) on performance and liver abscess rates in finishing beef cattle. The study utilized 60 crossbred steers (initial BW 274 kg ± 2.23) individually fed using a Calan gate system. Steers were housed in separate pens by treatment to avoid DFM cross-contamination, with pen (barn of 30 steers) assigned randomly to each treatment. Cattle were fed a diet consisting of 15% corn silage, 36.5% high moisture corn, 24.5% dry rolled corn, 20% modified distillers grains, and 4% supplement for 189 days. The DFM counts were estimated using cell cytometry and was top dressed at a concentration of approximately 81 billion bacterial cells/head/day. The DFM additive used in this study was developed to reduce the abundance of Fusobacterium necrophorum and Streptococcus bovis in the rumen. No effect of treatment on hot carcass weight (HCW), average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), feed efficiency (G:F), or carcass traits (Table 1) were observed. No significant difference in the occurrence of liver abscesses between treatment groups were observed with 4 steers having abscessed livers in the CON group and 3 steers in the DFM group. Additionally, there were no differences in the severity of liver abscesses; all observed liver abscesses received the score of A. The DFM utilized in this study did not significantly affect performance, liver abscess rate, or the severity of liver abscesses in finishing beef cattle.

PSIV-6 直接饲喂微生物饲料添加剂对肉牛育肥性能和肝脓肿率的影响

进行了一项饲养场研究,比较了直接饲喂微生物饲料添加剂 (DFM) 与无饲料添加剂 (CON) 对育肥肉牛生产性能和肝脓肿率的影响。该研究使用了 60 头杂交阉牛(初始体重 274 kg ± 2.23),使用 Calan 门系统单独饲喂。通过处理将公牛圈养在单独的围栏中,以避免 DFM 交叉污染,围栏(30 头公牛的谷仓)随机分配给每个处理。给牛喂食由 15% 的玉米青贮饲料、36.5% 的高水分玉米、24.5% 的干轧玉米、20% 的改良酒糟和 4% 的补充剂组成的日粮 189 天。DFM 计数使用细胞流式细胞仪进行估计,并以大约 810 亿个细菌细胞/头/天的浓度进行顶部处理。本研究中使用的 DFM 添加剂旨在减少瘤胃中坏死梭杆菌和牛链球菌的丰度。未观察到处理对热胴体重量 (HCW)、平均日增重 (ADG)、干物质采食量 (DMI)、饲料效率 (G:F) 或胴体性状(表 1)的影响。观察到治疗组之间肝脓肿的发生率没有显着差异,CON 组有 4 头公牛肝脓肿,DFM 组有 3 头公牛。此外,肝脓肿的严重程度没有差异;所有观察到的肝脓肿均获得 A 分。本研究中使用的 DFM 对育肥肉牛的性能、肝脓肿率或肝脓肿的严重程度没有显着影响。未观察到处理对热胴体重量 (HCW)、平均日增重 (ADG)、干物质采食量 (DMI)、饲料效率 (G:F) 或胴体性状(表 1)的影响。观察到治疗组之间肝脓肿的发生率没有显着差异,CON 组有 4 头公牛肝脓肿,DFM 组有 3 头公牛。此外,肝脓肿的严重程度没有差异;所有观察到的肝脓肿均获得 A 分。本研究中使用的 DFM 对育肥肉牛的性能、肝脓肿率或肝脓肿的严重程度没有显着影响。未观察到处理对热胴体重量 (HCW)、平均日增重 (ADG)、干物质采食量 (DMI)、饲料效率 (G:F) 或胴体性状(表 1)的影响。观察到治疗组之间肝脓肿的发生率没有显着差异,CON 组有 4 头公牛肝脓肿,DFM 组有 3 头公牛。此外,肝脓肿的严重程度没有差异;所有观察到的肝脓肿均获得 A 分。本研究中使用的 DFM 对育肥肉牛的性能、肝脓肿率或肝脓肿的严重程度没有显着影响。观察到治疗组之间肝脓肿的发生率没有显着差异,CON 组有 4 头公牛肝脓肿,DFM 组有 3 头公牛。此外,肝脓肿的严重程度没有差异;所有观察到的肝脓肿均获得 A 分。本研究中使用的 DFM 对育肥肉牛的性能、肝脓肿率或肝脓肿的严重程度没有显着影响。观察到治疗组之间肝脓肿的发生率没有显着差异,CON 组有 4 头公牛肝脓肿,DFM 组有 3 头公牛。此外,肝脓肿的严重程度没有差异;所有观察到的肝脓肿均获得 A 分。本研究中使用的 DFM 对育肥肉牛的性能、肝脓肿率或肝脓肿的严重程度没有显着影响。
