An experiment was conducted at Colorado State University to determine the effects of SeaLac® fish meal supplementation on uterine prostaglandin (PG) F2α synthesis in beef heifers having low luteal phase progesterone. Twenty-five Angus heifers were housed in individual pens and fed a corn silage-based diet (Table 1). Diets were supplemented with 5% fish meal (n […]

An experiment was conducted at Colorado State University to determine the effects of SeaLac® fish meal supplementation on blood and uterine ω-3 fatty acid composition. Seven nonlactating mature Angus cows were housed in individual pens and fed a corn silage-based diet for approximately 64 days (Table 1). Diets were supplemented with 5.1% fish meal (n […]

A major determinant of production cost in the feedlot is the feed conversion ratio (FCR). The primary factors influencing FCR are digestible energy (DE) content of the diet and absorbable amino acid to metabolizable energy (AAME) ratio. Great improvement in DE would occur by removing roughage from the diet. Improving AAME in the diet requires […]
