This study was designed to evaluate the timing of administration of the bovine appeasing substance (BAS) on performance and physiological responses of Bos indicus feedlot cattle. Nellore bulls (n = 100) were ranked by initial body weight (BW; 341 ± 18.5 kg) and assigned to receive BAS (n = 50) or placebo (CON; n = 50) on d -2 of the experiment. Treatments (5 mL) were applied topically to the nuchal skin area of each bull. Bulls were loaded into commercial livestock trailers immediately after treatment administration, transported for 880 km, and unloaded on d -1 at a commercial feedyard. On d 0, bulls within each treatment were again assigned to receive, in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, BAS or CON as previously described (25 bulls/treatment combination). Upon treatment administration on d 0, bulls were housed in 12 feedlot pens (3 pens/treatment) for a 108-d feeding period, which was divided into an adaptation (d 0 – 19), growing (d 20 – 60), and finishing (d 61 – 108) phases. Dry matter intake (DMI) was measured daily from d 0 to 108, whereas blood samples and hair from the tail switch were collected on d -2, 0, 19, 60, and 108. Administration of BAS prior to loading (d -2) improved ADG, FE, and DMI during adaptation and across the 108-d feeding period (P ≤ 0.08), resulting in greater (P = 0.03) hot carcass weight and dressing percentage upon slaughter on d 109. A treatment × day interaction was detected for serum glucose concentrations (P = 0.05), which was greater (P = 0.03) on d 60 of the feeding period in bulls receiving CON prior to loading. Administration of BAS at feedlot entry (d 0) improved DMI, ADG, and FE during adaptation (P ≤ 0.05), but it did not impact (P ≥ 0.18) performance and carcass traits during the 108-d feeding period. Bulls administered BAS prior to loading and at feedlot entry had less (P ≤ 0.05) mean serum cortisol concentrations across the 108-d feeding period (loading × feedlot entry interaction; P = 0.10), and greater (P ≤ 0.05) serum insulin concentration on d 60 (loading × feedlot entry × day interaction; P = 0.05). In summary, BAS administration prior to loading increased overall feedlot performance of Nellore bulls. These outcomes were noted in bulls that received or not a second BAS administration at feedlot entry, suggesting that the benefits of BAS are exploited when this substance is administered before transport to the feedlot.

一种安抚物质的战略管理,以提高 Bos indicus 饲养场牛的性能和生理反应

本研究旨在评估牛安抚物质 (BAS) 的施用时间对 Bos indicus 饲养场牛的生产性能和生理反应的影响。Nellore 公牛 (n = 100) 按初始体重 (BW; 341 ± 18.5 kg) 排序,并在实验的第 -2 天分配接受 BAS (n = 50) 或安慰剂 (CON; n = 50)。将处理剂 (5 mL) 局部应用于每头公牛的颈部皮肤区域。公牛在处理后立即装入商业牲畜拖车,运输 880 公里,并在 d -1 后在商业饲养场卸货。在第 0 天,每个处理中的公牛再次被分配以 2 x 2 因子排列接受如前所述的 BAS 或 CON(25 头公牛/处理组合)。在第 0 天治疗给药后,将公牛圈养在 12 个饲养栏(3 个栏/处理)中,饲养期为 108 天,分为适应期(d 0-19)、生长期(d 20-60)和育肥期(d 61-108)阶段。从第 0 天到第 108 天每天测量干物质摄入量 (DMI),而在第 -2、0、19、60 和 108 天收集来自尾部开关的血液样本和毛发。加载前 BAS 的管理 (d -2 ) 在适应期间和整个 108 天的饲养期 (P ≤ 0.08) 改善了 ADG、FE 和 DMI,导致在第 109 天屠宰时更高的 (P = 0.03) 热胴体重量和屠宰率。处理 × 天的相互作用是检测到血清葡萄糖浓度 (P = 0.05),在加载前接受 CON 的公牛的饲养期第 60 天,该浓度更高 (P = 0.03)。在饲养场入口(d 0)施用 BAS 可改善 DMI、ADG、和适应期间的 FE (P ≤ 0.05),但在 108 天的饲养期不影响 (P ≥ 0.18) 性能和胴体性状。在装载前和进入饲养场时施用 BAS 的公牛在 108 天的饲养期(装载 × 饲养场进入相互作用;P = 0.10)平均血清皮质醇浓度较低(P ≤ 0.05),而血清胰岛素浓度较高(P ≤ 0.05)在第 60 天(装载 × 饲养场入口 × 天互动;P = 0.05)。总之,加载前 BAS 管理提高了 Nellore 公牛的整体饲养场性能。在进入饲养场时接受或未接受第二次 BAS 给药的公牛注意到这些结果,这表明当在运输到饲养场之前给予这种物质时,BAS 的好处得到了利用。18) 108 天饲养期的性能和胴体性状。在装载前和进入饲养场时施用 BAS 的公牛在 108 天的饲养期(装载 × 饲养场进入相互作用;P = 0.10)平均血清皮质醇浓度较低(P ≤ 0.05),而血清胰岛素浓度较高(P ≤ 0.05)在第 60 天(装载 × 饲养场入口 × 天互动;P = 0.05)。总之,加载前 BAS 管理提高了 Nellore 公牛的整体饲养场性能。在进入饲养场时接受或未接受第二次 BAS 给药的公牛注意到这些结果,这表明当在运输到饲养场之前给予这种物质时,BAS 的好处得到了利用。18) 108 天饲养期的性能和胴体性状。在装载前和进入饲养场时施用 BAS 的公牛在 108 天的饲养期(装载 × 饲养场进入相互作用;P = 0.10)平均血清皮质醇浓度较低(P ≤ 0.05),而血清胰岛素浓度较高(P ≤ 0.05)在第 60 天(装载 × 饲养场入口 × 天互动;P = 0.05)。总之,加载前 BAS 管理提高了 Nellore 公牛的整体饲养场性能。在进入饲养场时接受或未接受第二次 BAS 给药的公牛注意到这些结果,这表明当在运输到饲养场之前给予这种物质时,BAS 的好处得到了利用。05) 整个 108 天饲养期的平均血清皮质醇浓度(装载 × 饲养场进入相互作用;P = 0.10),以及 60 天更高(P ≤ 0.05)血清胰岛素浓度(装载 × 饲养场进入 × 天相互作用; P = 0.05 )。总之,加载前 BAS 管理提高了 Nellore 公牛的整体饲养场性能。在进入饲养场时接受或未接受第二次 BAS 给药的公牛注意到这些结果,这表明当在运输到饲养场之前给予这种物质时,BAS 的好处得到了利用。05) 整个 108 天饲养期的平均血清皮质醇浓度(装载 × 饲养场进入相互作用;P = 0.10),以及 60 天更高(P ≤ 0.05)血清胰岛素浓度(装载 × 饲养场进入 × 天相互作用; P = 0.05 )。总之,加载前 BAS 管理提高了 Nellore 公牛的整体饲养场性能。在进入饲养场时接受或未接受第二次 BAS 给药的公牛注意到这些结果,这表明当在运输到饲养场之前给予这种物质时,BAS 的好处得到了利用。
