Carcass Lamb Prices Turn Lower Again Lamb carcass prices are currently at their lowest levels since January. Average prices in the central U.S. report were $4-7 lower, lightweights only $1 off and heavies just on the weak side. The average prices on Tuesday ranged from $204.31 on over 85 pounds to $210 on 40-45 pounds. Between those, the averages were $204.26-207.30. More than 65 percent of the carcasses now are weighing over 65 pounds, and around six percent are over 85 pounds. Plains Fed Cattle Trade Idle At Midweek After Recent Gains The Plains fed cattle market was quiet at midweek following the last several weeks of robust trade and escalating prices. Most Texas Markets Moved Meat Type Kid Goats At Lower Levels For the most part, meat type slaughter kid goats sold steady to $5 lower at Texas markets the last few days. Lightweight kids continue to have about a $10 advantage over the heavies. RANGE SALES USDA Offers Preliminary Report On Katrina’s Agriculture Costs U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns this week released a preliminary assessment of U.S. agricultural production losses due to hurricane Katrina in the mid-south and drouth in the eastern Cornbelt. The report estimates hurricane-related losses to be nearly $900 million, drouth losses about $1.3 billion. Swift Fox Researcher At Home Roaming Plains Cattle Country With her blonde hair pulled back under a light blue bandana that matches her eyes, Texas Tech University graduate student Donnelle Schwalm, 28, is spending this summer wandering the grasslands that used to be part of the famed XIT Ranch in the Texas Panhandle, looking for swift fox.

183. Feed Composition For Cattle And Sheep Obtain and use actual feedstuff analysis whenever possible for ration formulation. If feedstuff compositional data is impossible to determine, http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/livestk/01615.html

You are here: Home Livestock Online Fact Sheets no. 1.615 Feed Composition for Cattle and Sheep by T.L. Stanton Quick Facts... Obtain and use actual feedstuff analysis whenever possible for ration formulation. If feedstuff compositional data is impossible to determine, tabulated data is the next best source of information. Since moisture content of feeds can vary greatly, it is important to express feedstuff composition on a dry matter basis. Nutrition research spanning more than 100 years has defined the nutrients required by animals. Using this information, rations can be formulated from feeds and ingredients to meet these requirements. Animals fed these rations should not only remain healthy but be productive and efficient. The ultimate goal of feed analysis is to predict the productive response of animals when they are fed rations of a given composition. This is the real reason for information on feedstuff composition. Table Values for Feedstuff Composition Feedstuffs vary in composition. Unlike chemicals that are "chemically pure" and therefore have a constant composition, feeds vary in their composition for many reasons. Actual analysis of a feed to be used in a ration is more accurate than tabular data. Obtain and use actual analysis whenever possible. Often, however, it is either impossible to determine actual compositional data, or there is insufficient time to obtain an analysis. Tabulated data are the next best source of information. When using tabulated data, remember that feeds vary in their composition. The organic constituents (e.g., crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber) can vary as much as 15 percent, the mineral constituents as much as 30 percent, and the energy values at least 10 percent, from table values.

EUROPA - Research - Removal Of Spinal Column From Cattle And Sheep Carcasses European Commission this page describes research project 1259-Removal of spinal column from cattle and sheep carcasses.

Links Removal of spinal column from cattle and sheep carcasses REMCOLM Contract number Contract type : Shared Cost Project Total cost EC contribution Starting date : not yet determined Duration : 18 Months Scientific Officer : Antonio di Giulio Project website : not yet available Coordinator Dr Andrew Knight Silsoe Research Institute Bio-Engineering Division Livestock Engineering Group Wrest Park, Silsoe MK45 4HS Bedford United Kingdom Tel.: +441525860000 Fax: +441525861735 E-mail: andy.knight @ bbsrc.ac.uk Background Regulations are required in all EU states to ensure that spinal card material and spinal column in some states is removed from cattle and sheep carcasses. Carcasses are contaminated with CNS material during conventional splitting operations, and washing does not remove the contamination. A novel saw, for complete removal of the vertebral column from inside the eviscerated carcass before splitting, has been developed under laboratory conditions; this ensures that all cord material remains encased in bone. Prototype saws for cattle and sheep carcasses will be used to validate the above laboratory results under commercial slaughterhouse conditions. Functional tests, will evaluate the commercial viability of this new approach and the results will be used in an economic appraisal. The main objective of this project is to ensure that the results are disseminated to an extended audience across the EU.

AUSTRALIA'S NATIONAL RURAL AFFAIRS WEEKLY. CONTENTS ABOUT US ARCHIVES HELP Subject: Rural:Livestock:Sheep Production Something in the air BROADCAST: 27/06/2004 Mention methane and often there is a wry smile and a joke about bovine flatulence, but in fact greenhouse gas from Australian livestock is a very serious problem. Methane, from sheep and cattle mostly, accounts for 14 per cent of Australia's greenhouse gas total. But unlike the energy sector or even transport, agriculture has been slow to recognise its pollution and adopt solutions. [ FULL STORY Trial measures chemical exposure BROADCAST: 23/11/2003 Whether plunging, showering or hand jetting sheep for lice control, there's a growing awareness by Australian producers about the need for protection against harmful chemicals. That said though, the full extent of workplace exposure to the group of organophosphates known as diazanon is still unknown. More than 30 years after they became commonplace in the sheep and wool industry, the National Farmers Federation has pushed for a comprehensive trial of diazanon exposure, which could have major implications for future ectoparasite control. [ FULL STORY Bioclip presents new era in wool harvesting BROADCAST: 23/11/2003 For decades scientists and farming bodies have been trying to find alternatives to shearing for removing the wool from the sheep's back.
