  • Animal Husbandry
  • Slaughterhouses
CONT

... the breed and size of individual cattle affects their target "finished weight[, ]" when they are fat enough to go to slaughter.... A common mistake among many pasture-finishing programs is that they fail to account for size differences in their cattle finishing programs. They often want to slaughter all their calves by the end of the second growing season to avoid another winter of high feed costs. But larger-sized calves within the group will still be underfinished — they need more time. If they are slaughtered at the same time as the smaller-framed calves, their beef will be tough.

  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
CONT

When Namoi vetch was fed to pigs, the first feed was consumed without problems, the next feed-intake was always depressed. Nitric oxide, derived from the guanine group of arginine, is known to play an important role in the control of blood pressure in rats via the relaxation of aortic rings but is also acts to control peristalsis. We have therefore hypothesised, that the delayed feed in take-inhibition is due to the inhibition of nitric oxide mediated peristalsis by canavanine acting as an arginine look-alike. Support for this hypothesis, can be inferred from a report by Thomas and Rosentahl(1987) of constipation in rats fed canavanine.
