Abstract
This article is the first in a series of publications that will focus on current feeding topics of interest to beef cattle producers. Beef cattle are able to survive, and even thrive, on low-quality feeds. As ruminants, their ability to convert fibrous material into useful products and to maintain, reproduce, grow, and lactate play an important role in our global ecology. For beef cattle producers, the need to control feeding costs is always important, and the relationship between nutrition and reproduction is well established. Typically, as hay and grain prices rise, there is renewed interest in replacing high-cost feeds with low-quality forages. A basic understanding of the nutritional makeup of forage is essential in order to use low-quality forages effectively.
