This document discusses cattle nutrition and feeding programs. It outlines the different growth stages of dairy cattle and recommends feeding strategies for each phase of lactation. These phases include higher energy and protein in early lactation, lower protein in mid lactation, and increased forage and lower concentrates in late lactation. The document also discusses beef cattle nutrition, mineral and vitamin requirements, grazing systems, and some common nutritional disorders.
This slides contains information on precision feeding in dairy cattle and requirement of energy, protein, fat, minerals and vitamins of a dairy cattle during lactation. Precision feeding protects reproductive health and milk production while reducing the nutrient loss in manure.
Only 25-35% of the N in feed goes into milk, with the rest excreted in feces and urine.
Dairy diets often have 120-160% of the P and that the excess is excreted in the manure.
Cost of feed can be reduced.
Precision feeding helps to improve water quality
Improving the efficiency of use of feed N.
Reduce SARA condition.
Controlled-release urea in dairy cattle feed.
Straw treatment-Ammoniation.
Reducing Enteric Methane Losses from Ruminant Livestock.
Phase feeding in dairy cattle.
Feeding bypass fat in early lactation.
Use of chelated minerals in dairy animals.
Nutraceuticals in dairy animal precision feeding.
10. Use of area specific mineral mixture to precise dairy animal nutrition.
11. TMR in precision nutrition.
12. Manipulation of dietary CAD.
Five distinct feeding phases can be defined to attain optimum production, reproduction and health of dairy cows:
Early lactation—0 to 70 days (peak milk production) after calving (postpartum).
Peak DM intake—70 to 140 days (declining milk production) postpartum.
Mid and late lactation—140 to 305 days (declining milk production) postpartum.
Dry period—60 days before the next lactation.
Transition or close-up period—14 days before to parturition.
Feed top quality forage.
Make sure the diet contains adequate amounts of CP, DIP and UIP.
Increase grain intake at a constant rate after calving.
Consider adding fat (0.4-0.6 kg/cow/day) to diets.
Allow constant access to feed.
Minimize stress conditions.
Limit urea to 80-160g/day.
Buffers, such as Na bicarbonate alone or in combination with Mg oxide (rumen pH)
In Transition period
Increase grain feeding, so cows are consuming 4.5-6 kg grain/day at calving (1% of B.wt)
Increase protein in the ration to between 14 - 15 % of the ration DM
Limit fat in the ration to 0.1kg. High fat feeding will depress DM intake.
Maintain 2.5-4kg of long hay in the ration to stimulate rumination.
Feed a low-Ca ration (< 0.20%, reduce Ca intake to 14 to 18 g/d)
Also, feed a diet with a negative dietary electrolyte balance (-10 to -15meq/100 g DM) may alleviate milk fever problems
Niacin (to control ketosis) and/or anionic salts (to help prevent milk fever) should be included in the ration during this period.

Napier Grass or Giant King Grass is conceived as an viable alternative and long-term solution for biomass power plants.
•Natural hybrid of Pennisetum Purpureum
•Also known as elephant grass
• Not genetically modified
•Widely adaptive and stress resistant
•Modest need for fertilizer – basically a weed
•No pesticide needed in most cases
Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of adult cattle is known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations.

Poultry nutrition is an integral part of poultry production. It has changed drastically as a consequence of developments in the other disciplines of animal science and also because of changes in poultry husbandry practices.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

TESDA TM1 REVIEWER FOR NATIONAL ASSESSMENT WRITTEN AND ORAL QUESTIONS WITH A...
Cattle Nutrition
1. Cattle Nutrition
Ruminant Herbivores
Calf- young animal
Heifer- female calf that has not given
birth and is less than 30 months old
Cow- older than 30 months old, or has
given birth
Bull- intact male
Steer- castrated male up to 4 years old
Ox- castrated male, more than 4 years
old
2. Dairy Cattle
Main objective- increase dry matter
intake to produce higher levels of milk
production
Key factors: energy, ration
digestibility, rumen
fill, palatability, body weight(
BCS), environment, frequency of
feeding and water
3. Phase feeding program
Phase feeding
- Changing the nutrient concentration in
a series of diets formulated to meet an
animal’s nutrient requirements more
precisely at a particular stage of
growth or production
- Based on lactation and gestation cycle
4. Phase 1
First 10 weeks of lactation
Peak milk production happens in this
phase
Negative energy balance develops, so
cow uses body stores to make up
difference ( can borrow fat, but cannot
borrow protein)
5. What to feed in Phase 1
Increased grain for energy (
corn, wheat, soybeans)
Protein supplementation to meet amino
acid requirements ( dried brewers
grain, distillers grain, corn gluten meal)
Increased concentrates and fats to
increase energy density of feed (
soybeans, sunflower seeds)
Sodium bicarbonate “ buffer” to reduce
acidosis and maintain ruminal ph
6. Phase 2
Begins 10 weeks post calving and can
continue to 20th week
Highest dry matter intake happens
here
Nutrient intake is finally in balance
with nutrient needs
7. What to feed in Phase 2
Lower protein levels because
requirement is met by
supplementation in Phase 1
Adequate fiber
Limited grain intake
Frequent feeding ( minimizes digestive
upset)
8. Phase 3
“late lactation period”, cow is pregnant
again
Nutrient intake exceeds requirement
for production
Main period for restoring body
reserves for next lactation
9. What to feed in Phase 2
Easiest phase to manage because
cow is pregnant and milk production is
declining
Increased amount of forage instead of
concentrates
Lower protein
10. Phase 4
Most of the “ dry” period
Final regaining of any lost body weight
happens here
Goal is to get cow in good condition
for parturition, but not excessively fat (
BCS of 3.5 out of 5.O scale)
11. What to feed in Phase 4
High protein, energy, Ca and P needs
Combination of legume-grass hay and
corn silage ( with added vitamins and
P0
Long stem grass hay ( length of hay
matters)
Limit grain to energy and protein
needs
12. Body Condition Scoring
A numeric system to subjectively
assess and animal’s degree of fatness
Fat Cow Syndrome
- High blood lipids and fatty liver from
eating excess energy from grain or
corn silage
- Can lead to calving
difficulties, displaced abomassum and
ketosis
13. Phase 5
Last 1-3 weeks of “dry” period, just
before calving
Referred to as a “transition period”
Increase grain intake to prepare
rumen for high energy diets that will
be needed postpartum
14. What to feed in Phase 5
Gradual increase in grains
Small amounts of all ingredients used
in the lactation ration
Maybe decrease Ca in “ milk fever”
prone cows
15. Beef Cattle Nutrition
Most critical factor influencing
performance of cattle on forage diet is
the amount of Dry Matter Intake
Young, growing grass and pasture
crops usually have ample nutrients
old pastures, crop residues and
harvesting methods cause reduction in
nutrients
16. Biological Cycle
Goal: optimal nutrition at each
stage, not maximum nutrition
Cycle is made up of 4 periods that
span 1 year: 3 trimesters and 1
postpartum period
17. First Trimester ( 95 days)
Begins the 1st day of conception
Nutrient needs are for maintenance
and lactation if the cow has a calf with
her
Milk production is declining at this
stage
18. Second Trimester ( 95 days)
Calf is weaned, lactation requirements
end
Lowest nutrient requirements at this
point
Feed minimally
Easiest and most economical time to
increase a thin cows BCS
19. Third Trimester ( 95 days)
Rapid fetal growth causes rapidly
increasing nutrient needs
Watch BCS carefully, cow gains 1 lb
per day
Too thin cows experience
dystocias, weak calves and decreased
milk production
20. Postpartum Period ( 80 days)
High lactation requirements
Feed intake is 35-50% higher than
non-lactating cow
Nutritional stress at this point causes
problems during the cow’s next
breeding ( usually 80 days post
partum)
21. Energy Requirement
Energy is considered first in
balancing diet for beef cattle, it’s
the largest portion of the ration
Energy utilization determines cow’s
ability to use other nutrients
Good quality forage satisfies adult
energy requirements
Poor quality forages need to be
supplemented with concentrates
22. Protein Requirements
50% of all protein and amino acid
needs are met by microbial protein
synthesis
Protein deficiency is common when
cows consume straw and low quality
hay
Urea is commonly used as a protein
supplement
23. Beef Cattle, Water
requirements
Need abundant supply at once daily
Range cows consume 2 ½ gallons
daily in winter and up to 12 gallons per
head in summer
When salt is added, water need is
increased
Fresh succulent feeds or silage help
reduce need
24. Beef Cattle mineral
requirements
Salt- need more when eating succulent
forages than when eating drier forage
Calcium- depends of Ca concentration in
soil, higher needs in growing and
lactating cows
Phosphorus- Low P levels in
roughage, so P is often offered free
choice in a mineral mix
Cobalt- required for rumen
microorganisms to synthesize vitamin B
12
25. Minerals continued
Copper- Simental and Charlois have a
higher requirement than Angus
Iodine- deficiencies in Northwest and
Great Lakes area soil; supply via
iodized salt
26. Beef Cattle Vitamin
Requirements
C, D, E, K and B complex- no need for
supplementation; ruminal microflora
synthesizes B complex and K, Vitamin C
is synthesized in tissues, Sun dried
forages contain lots of Vit D and E
A- roughage and grains are low in Vit
A, causing a deficiency. Cattle on
pasture can store large amounts of Vit A
for 2 months in liver, so deficiency isn’t
immediately apparent. Look for signs of
rough coat, diarrhea, excessive
lacrimation
27. Grazing Systems and
Management
1. Continuous Grazing
- Most common type of grazing
scheme
- Cow grazes 1 area for the entire
season up to 1 year
- Low maintenance, but production
suffers
28. Grazing systems continued
2. Deferred rotational grazing
- 4 pasture system
- 1 pasture would not be grazed from
spring to mid summer in order to allow
desirable plants to flower and reach
seed maturity
- The following year another pasture
would not be grazed
- After 4 years, all four pastures will
have had time to rest
29. Grazing systems continued
3. Rest rotation
- Uses 3-5 pastures
- 1 pasture is not grazed for an entire
year, while herd uses other pastures
30. Grazing Systems continued
4. Short duration grazing
- Developed in France
- 8-40 pastures grazed intensively for 2-
3 days, then not grazed again for
several weeks
31. Nutritional Disorders
1. Pasture bloat
- Comes from consuming lush legumes
( alfalfa, red clover)
- Relieve bloat by inserting stomach
tube into rumen and giving anti-foam
material ( ex vegetable oil)
- A trocar is used in extreme cases to
release pressure ( large “needle”
puncture through skin and gas rushes
out)
32. Nutritional disorders
continued
Grass tetany
- Low Mg levels in blood from grazing
lush green grass pastures
- Common in cows nursing calves
under 2 months
- Symptoms: excitability, cows act blind
- Fix by feeding free choice mineral
supplement containing Mg, early in
grazing season
33. Nitrite toxicity
- Caused when intake of nitrite is in
excess of the rumen’s ability to
convert it to ammonia
- Causes hemoglobin in blood to
change into a form which cannot
transport oxygen to the tissues
- Cow dies from asphyxiation
- Treat with injection of IV methylene
blue
34. Fescue toxicity
- Caused by grazing or consuming
harvested hay from tall fescue
pastures
- Cow eats the endophytic fungus that
grows between the fescue cells
- signs: soreness in hind limbs, “
fescue foot” hooves and tail slough
off, hypersalivation and polyuria
35. Acute Pulmonary Emphysema “ Asthma’
- Occurs in western US when cattle are
moved from dry rangelands to lush
meadow pastures abruptly
- Signs seen in 4-5 days after diet change
- Symptoms: labored breathing, extended
neck, open mouth breathing, grunting
- Prevention: ( no treatment) slowly
introduce cattle to new pasture and
supplement with monensin
