LIVESTOCK RESEARCH UNIT FINAL PRESENTATION 2020

Page 21 of 55

About the Unit 2019/2020 is the fourth year for the Lakeland College Livestock Research Unit. The unit is made up of 16 students from Saskatchewan and Alberta. The purpose of our unit is to represent Western Canada agriculture with our extensive practices. Our goal is to take whatever data we find within our ICE herd and give it back to the cattle producers of Canada.

Herdtrax Our team uses Herdtrax to keep our records straight from year to year. All events we do with our herd are processed into Herdtrax. This can be vaccinations, calving, weaning, and weight days. We also use a Tru-Test wand. This wand can read the CCIA tag numbers from each calf as it goes through the chute and have it scan into our computers. This way we can have accurate records for each animal without human error when typing numbers into either an excel sheet for weight or straight into Herdtrax.

Another thing that all beef teams have changed regarding animal records is the change on how we number animals.

Starting this year, 2020, all research calves will be numbers starting at 300-400. This allows each team to keep more consistent records as all teams share a Herdtrax account.

Reproduction The 3 herd bulls were pulled September 19, 2019 (3 cycles) Pregnancy Checking was done October 28, 2019 ● 4 cows open ● 3 cows culled based on utter quality, feet, and temperament ● 7 cows culled in total Replacement Heifer selection criteria ● Low RFI score ● Good feet and legs ● Moderate in size ● Adequate muscling ● Deep bodied ● Temperament ● Dams mothering ability and milk Beef Day bred heifer selection criteria ● Angus influenced ● Moderate RFI scores ● Consistent group ● Moderate frame size ● deep bodied ● Good feet and legs ● Temperament Semen Testing March 2, 2020 ● All bulls passed Breeding Groups ● 30 females exposed to our Hereford bull ● 55 females exposed to 2 Angus bulls

Herd Health January 2020 - April 2020 One steer presented symptoms of labored breathing and high temperatures. We treated with Reslfor, upon being treated the animal was back to normal with no heavy breathing or signs of complications. One heifer presented an enlarged mass on her shoulder/neck area which was promptly treated with Metacam and upon closer look it was not an infectious mass but possible swelling from a slip or fighting. After being treated with metacam, it was still enlarged but not getting any bigger. Further doses of metacam were given to reduce the swelling on the affected area. Pre-calving vaccinations took place on February 25th for the heifers. They were vaccinated with Scourguard 4KC, The heifers 3 week booster for Scourguard 4KC was given on March 18th. The cows were also brought in and vaccinated with Scourguard 4KC along with Ultrabac7/Somubac. This was to build up the cows immune system to make sure they have enough antibodies in their systems to fight off any diseases.

Nutrition Our steers and heifers were fed the same from December-February when we sold our steers. In January we changed the ration to increase gains, our steers and heifers were both fed this. We sold our steers in February at 630 pounds.

We decided to feed our Beef Day bred heifers differently than past years. This year we fed a silage-hay mix free choice and hand fed them a Bullseye 14% Developer pellet. This allowed us to get the heifers quieter, have more control over daily gains. After sampling our corn grazing, our Calcium was low, which we expected so we Supplemented by adding Limestone in our mineral to give us a Calcium Phosphorus ratio of 2:1. Our cows have been on bale grazing and have been getting a Bullseye Swath Grazing mineral, as that was leftover when our cows were on the swaths with the other teams. We expect our cows to be on grass by April 15, weather permitting. They will be given a 20% protein tub from UFA until the grass picks up. They will also be on Bullseye mineral as they will not get enough from the tub. We decided to do a fly control trial with our cows during our calving season. Some cows will be given the Eliminator fly tags and others will be getting garlic salt from our SmartFeed system. Cows with the fly tags will only be given cobalt salt.

Range and Forage Pasture Grazing Summer 2019

We were able to graze our cows for 227 days from April to November 27, 2019, this increased forage quality on our pastures. We found it cost $0.64/head/day and an opportunity cost of $0.56 taking into account that it is about $1.20/head/day for industry average.

Swath Grazing-November 27- January 23 = 58 days, $0.66/head/day, due to a second regrowth from the barley silage we were able to swath graze.

Corn Grazing- $2000 for seeding and equipment, Jan 23-February 25 33 days, $0.78/head/day,. We projected them to be on the corn for about 45 days, but our grazing time was less because of cold weather and that they also broke through the electric fence.

Bale Grazing- Feb 25-April 15 50 days, Bale price: $95.00, Bales used: 113, $2.68/head/day. Our cows are currently on LC 15/16 bale grazing. We divided the pasture in 3 paddocks with 12 hay and 6 barley bales. We have projected that they will stay there till April 15, but it is all depending on the weather.

Summer Grazing Plan-Our summer grazing plans are to graze LCP 22 which is our calving pasture from April 15 to July 21 (98 days), then we will move to LCP 24 from July 22 to August 22 (32 days) and LCP 23 from August 23 to September 15 (24 days). However, these dates may change due to the amount of forage that is available.

Mixed Farm Bale Grazing Moved ● Bale grazing previously took place on LC 10, needed to be relocated due to nutrient excessive nutrients in the soil Moved to LC 15/16 → Pasture along Highway 16 ● Poor producing pasture land will benefit from the manure and bale waste Paddocks made using existing fences ● Manure Management Estimated 117 tonnes (available for crop use) ● Produced by our herd when utilizing pens at Research Centre, animals on RFI trial, swath grazing and corn grazing

Research Residual Feed Intake trials are a way we can measure the feed efficiency for an individual animal, with the help of Dr. Obioha Durana, Lakeland’s Livestock Research Scientist. We can run these trials with Growsafe beef bunks, Growsafe waterers and Smart feed bunks. We started an RFI trail with our 37 heifers on January 28, and the trail will end in April (date unknown) on the Growsafe bunks. Biweekly weighs were done and switched to weekly weighs towards the end of March. The opportunity we have with the bunks, we can run tests on other groups of animals from different producers such as 59 Speckle Park Bulls, and 50 Charolais. The Speckle Park Bulls arrived November 17-18 and left on February 20 when the trail was over. The Charolais came to the Research Centre on Saturday, February 29 to be RFI tested on the Smart Feed bunks. Biweekly weighs are still in process. The end of this trail is still unknown, as well. Our heifers were also infrared scanned once before their trial began and will be scanned closer to the end as well. Feed samples are taken every week to test for quality and moisture. Our calf crop went through a traditional wean vs. a quiet wean test in the month of November. They were split up into two groups.

Unfortunately, with health circumstances we could not finish this test. During calving season the team will be doing another trail which includes garlic salt and fly tags. This trail is to test for which one prevents pink eye when out on pasture. The Smart Feed bunks will be delivering garlic salt to those who do not have fly tags. All our trials need to be approved at the animal care meetings before we can officially collect data on the trial we have presented interest in.

Beef Day Due to Covid-19 and the restrictions the Alberta government put on large gatherings, we were forced to change the format of our Beef Day sale to a strictly online sale. Our team worked alongside DLMS to make this change happen quickly and as smoothly as possible. we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of our buyers for adapting to our new format and supporting our program.
