1 Can We Allow a Calf to Have a Bad Day? Dr. Matt Hersom UF/IFAS Department of Animal Sciences
2 What is A Bad Day?
3 What Constitutes a Bad Day Sickness / Health Prevention is key Veterinarian Stress Environmental Transport Nutrition Total Feed Intake Energy/Protein Vitamin/Mineral
4 The Essence of Avoiding A Bad Day In order to produce an acceptable calf that will enter the feedlot, perform adequately, and marble well calves should never be restricted/limited for nutrients. Otherwise you run the risk of poor calf and carcass performance.
5 Where Did the Concept of No Bad Day Originate? TAMU Ranch to Rail Data Health issue OSU data of Gardner & Owens Premium Product Brands Misinterpretation or bias interpretation of data Sick Healthy Diff. Head Death Loss, % ADG, lb/d Total COG $73.34 $56.20 $17.14 Med. Cost $44.55 $0.00 $44.55 Net Return $23.43 $ $ Quality Grade, % Choice Select Standard McNeill, 2001
6 Define Scenario Growing calf Birth to Carcass Factors Affecting Quality Production Characteristics Sex, Weight, Age Pre-feedlot Nutrition Feedlot Nutrition Endpoint Selection Health
7 Normal Growth Curves Maturity Total Mass Muscle Fat Birth Bone Time
8 Calf Performance Considerations Nutritional Management Calf vs Yearling fed Early weaning Creep feeding Concentrate vs Roughage Hay Pasture Low vs High Quality Feedlot grain processing DRC, High-moisture, SFC Co-production inclusion Management Decisions Implant Regime Beta agonists Endpoint determination Breed Marketing Options Choice-Select Spread
9 Misconceptions Regarding Marbling Calves have to see a high energy diet (starch) early to marble adequately Compared to what? Generally improvement over normal which was good Does the calf have the genetic capacity to marble Is high marbling endpoint the best endpoint for the calf Changing production programs What would it cost Marbling only occurs early in life not later Intramuscular fat is last on and first off??? Some studies indicate marbling occurs faster when young Marbling occurs throughout growth
10 Misconceptions Regarding Marbling Nutritional restriction is always bad Yearling programs Frame/size development Compensatory growth? What was degree of restriction Cost savings? Wrong Endpoint Evaluation Similar age Similar finished BW Have to evaluate at same physiological point

13 Generalizations - Early Starch Exposure One of first production practices advocated Early weaning process implicit Normal production very adequate in comparisons Early application of starch diets can increase carcass quality, but not always Quality grade not significantly improved More days in feedlot and more concentrate feed required None of the research examines $$$$
14 Marbling Only Occurs Early? Backfat, in Marbling Ribfat, in Marbling Bruns et. al.,1999 HCW, lb 250
15 120 Marbling Only Occurs Early? Growth of four body fat depots Weight, kg Intermuscular Subcutaneous Visceral Intramuscular Age, d Oltjen, 2008
16 Marbling Only Occurs Early? Important gene for fat cell development undetectable early in life in SubQ and IM fat depots regardless of production system, but turns on when fed high energy diet. Fat cell gene activation declines in calffed cattle fat depots but maintains activity in older cattle fat depots. Smith et al. 2007
17 Marbling Only Occurs Early? At a similar age, yearling calves have smaller fat cell volume. At similar BW fat cell volume is similar between calffed and yearlings. Less time on finishing diet results in smaller fat cells. Adequate time on high energy allows cattle to fill their fat cells. Smith et al. 2007
18 Generalizations Early Marbling Fat cells are present, but not filled early in life Fat cell filling occurs when excess energy is available Preferential energy substrate for fat cells depots Other influencing factors Endogenous hormones, other growth factors Backfat generally increases faster

28 Generalizations Nutritional Restriction One of first issues blamed for poor quality Degree and type of restriction is key! Variable results and outcomes A lot of confounding effects on outcomes There is no free trade-off for gain Slower growth necessitates faster growth or more days elsewhere When it comes to quality grade, if the cattle have potential for compensatory growth you re screwed! Robbi Pritchard, SDSU But not as bad as it s made out to be
