We used 216 Holstein steers (151 kg) in a 262-d trial to evaluate the influence of dietary magnesium level (.19, .25, and .32%) and laidlomycin propionate (LP; 0 vs 11 ppm, air-dry basis) on growth performance and NE value of the diet. During the initial 112 d of the trial, LP increased (P < .01) ADG (6.3%) and feed efficiency (4.2%). From d 112 until slaughter, LP increased (P < .05) ADG (9.7%) and feed efficiency (4.5%). Across the 262-d feeding period, LP supplementation enhanced (P < .01) ADG (8.9%) and feed efficiency (6.3%). There was an interaction (P < .05) between dietary Mg and LP on NE value of the diet. The enhancement in NE value of the diets owing to LP with .19, .25, and .32% dietary Mg were .5, 3.0, and 5.9%, respectively. Six Holstein steers (302 kg) were used in a 6 x 6 Latin square experiment to evaluate treatment effects on characteristics of ruminal and total tract digestion. There were no treatment interactions (P > .10) on site and extent of digestion of OM, starch, and N. Supplemental Mg increased (quadratic effect, P < .10) ruminal OM digestion. Neither LP nor dietary Mg level affected (P > .10) ruminal digestion of starch and feed N. Supplemental LP decreased (15%, P < .05) ruminal microbial efficiency. Total tract digestion of OM and N increased (linear effect, P < .01) with increasing dietary Mg level. There were interactions between LP and dietary Mg level on ruminal soluble-Mg concentration (linear effect, P < .01) and Mg absorption (quadratic effect, P < .05). Apparent total tract Mg digestion increased owing to LP (P < .01) and dietary Mg level (linear effect, P < .01). There were no treatment effects (P > .10) on ruminal pH. Dietary Mg level did not influence (P > .10) ruminal VFA concentrations or molar proportions. Supplemental LP increased (14%; P < .10) total ruminal VFA concentration but did not affect (P > .10) VFA molar proportions. We conclude that LP will increase daily weight gain and feed efficiency of calf-fed Holstein steers and that this response may be enhanced by increasing dietary Mg level.
我们使用216头荷斯坦公牛(体重151千克)进行了为期262天的试验,以评估日粮镁水平(0.19%、0.25%和0.32%)和丙酸拉沙洛西(LP;风干基础下0与11 ppm)对生长性能和日粮净能值的影响。在试验的最初112天,LP提高了(P < 0.01)平均日增重(6.3%)和饲料效率(4.2%)。从第112天到屠宰,LP提高了(P < 0.05)平均日增重(9.7%)和饲料效率(4.5%)。在整个262天的饲喂期内,添加LP提高了(P < 0.01)平均日增重(8.9%)和饲料效率(6.3%)。日粮镁和LP对日粮净能值存在交互作用(P < 0.05)。日粮镁水平为0.19%、0.25%和0.32%时,LP使日粮净能值分别提高了0.5%、3.0%和5.9%。使用6头荷斯坦公牛(体重302千克)进行了6×6拉丁方试验,以评估处理对瘤胃和全消化道消化特性的影响。在有机物、淀粉和氮的消化部位和程度上,各处理间没有交互作用(P > 0.10)。添加镁提高了(二次效应,P < 0.10)瘤胃有机物消化率。LP和日粮镁水平均未影响(P > 0.10)瘤胃淀粉和饲料氮的消化。添加LP降低了(15%,P < 0.05)瘤胃微生物效率。随着日粮镁水平的提高,有机物和氮的全消化道消化率提高了(线性效应,P < 0.01)。LP和日粮镁水平对瘤胃可溶性镁浓度(线性效应,P < 0.01)和镁吸收(二次效应,P < 0.05)存在交互作用。由于LP(P < 0.01)和日粮镁水平(线性效应,P < 0.01),表观全消化道镁消化率提高。各处理对瘤胃pH没有影响(P > 0.10)。日粮镁水平未影响(P > 0.10)瘤胃挥发性脂肪酸浓度或摩尔比例。添加LP提高了(14%;P < 0.10)瘤胃挥发性脂肪酸总浓度,但未影响(P > 0.10)挥发性脂肪酸摩尔比例。我们得出结论,LP可提高犊牛饲养的荷斯坦公牛的日增重和饲料效率,并且通过提高日粮镁水平可能会增强这种反应。
