1 Influence f Perids f Starvatin n Bld Ammnia and Plasma Urea Cncentratins f Steers Grazing Wheat Pasture F. P. Hrn, G. W. Hrn, H. R. Crkshank, W. Jacksn, H. J. Muncrief and R. Osbrne Stry in Brief Steers were starved fr 12, 24 r 48 hurs in rder t simulate the changes in grazing behavir which ccurs in stcker cattle n wheat pasture due t the frequent mvement f severe weather frnts acrss the Suthern Great Plains. The 48-hur starvatin perids resulted in cnsiderable bdy weight lsses which were regained when the cattle were put back n wheat pasture due t rapid frage ingestin. The bld cncentratins during the perid f rapid frage ingestin were in the range f.25 t.4 mg/ioo ml and indicate that ammnia txicity per se is nt a significant cause f deaths in stcker cattle grazed n wheat pasture. Signs f blat were nt bserved in any f the cattle during the pst-starvatin grazing perids. Intrductin Amng the prblems causing death lsses in cattle grazed n wheat pasture is ne knwn as the stcker syndrme. The results f previus studies (1,2) indicate that the death lsses due t the stcker syndrme cannt be attributed t acute mineral imbalances, nitrate txicity, r clstridial txins. Based n (1) bservatins f live stcker cattle that exhibit marked abdminal distensin, (2) the relief f the distensin by the administratin f therapeutic dsages f plxalene, (3) the fact tllat sme distended live animals which were marked with paint pistls were subsequently fund dead, (4) nature f ruminal cntents f dead animals, and (5) necrpsy lesins indicative f antemrteum blat, it appears that frthy blat is a majr cause f death in stcker cattle grazed n wheat pasture (1). Anther factr that is ften mentined by prducers, and which is believed t be related t the death lsses f stcker cattle n wheat pasture, is the marked changes in grazing behavir which ccurs in these cattle in respnse t the mvement f weather frnts thrugh the area. Since wheat frage underges a very 48 Oklahma Agricultural Experiment Statin

2 rapid rate f ruminal digestin, a perid f little r n grazing fllwed by a perid f very active grazing wuld be cndusive t the blating f ca ttle. A secnd questin that has been raised relates t the fact that wheat frage is high in crude prtein with values f 14 t 33.% f the frage dry matter reprted (2). Jhnsn et al. (3) have als reprted crude prtein values f wheat frage dry matter f 25 t 31 % during January t April with 1 t 33% f the nitrgen being in the frm f nn-prtein nitrgen. These data, alng with the high ruminal ammnia cncentratins and high ruminal ph values f 6.2 t.6 (2), have prmpted the suggestin that ammnia txicity is a pssible etilgical factr in the stcker syndrme. The studies which we reprt here were cnducted t (I) examine the grazing behavir f stcker cattle n wheat pasture, and (2) the pssible invlvement f marked changes in grazing behavir with the stcker syndrme. Grazing Behavir Studies Materials and Methds During the wheat pasture grazing seasn, 3 stckers were cntinuusly bserved fr a 2-hur perid in which a severe weather frnt was frecasted t mve thrugh the area, and recrdings were made every 15 minutes as t hw many were grazing, nt grazing, nt grazing and seeking shelter, lying dwn, r drinking water. Starvatin-Refeeding Studies Twenty-eight acres f triumph winter wheat were established in mid- September, 194, at the Frt Ren Livestck Experiment Statin, and 42 stcker steers were grazed n the area frm December I, 194 t March 24, 195. Changes in grazing behavir f stckers, which ccurs due t the mvement f weather frnts, was simulated by hlding the cattle ff pasture in a drylt with access t water (starvatin) fr varying perids f time prir t being put back n wheat pasture (refeeding). Three trials (January 13-1; February 1-14; and March 1-21, 195) were cnducted in which the steers were randmly assigned t 6 experimental grups that cnsisted f 2 cntrl grups and 4 starvatin-refeeding grups. The length f the starvatin perids and the time at which starvatin was begun fr each grup f cattle is shwn in Table 1. All steers were weighed and bld samples were taken immediately befre and after each starvatin perid, and at 2, 6 and 14 hurs after the cattle were put back n wheat pasture. The bld samples were analyzed fr bld ammnia and plasma urea cncentratins. Animal Science Research

N. f stckers During each trial, frage samples were taken and analyzed fr the fllwing: dry matter, crude prtein, acid-detergent fiber, acid-detergent lignin, neutral-detergent fiber, ash, silica and in vitr dry matter digestibility. Results and Discussin Grazing Behavir Studies The cattle did mst f their grazing between a.m. and 12 midnight, and grazed mst intensively frm 9-1 a.m. and frm 8-1 p.m. All f the calves sught shelter immediately befre the strm frnt hit the pasture (5 p.m., 2-2-4), and did nt graze again until the weather had cleared (9 a.m., ). Once they began t graze again, they grazed very intensively fr 6 t 8 hurs. Abut 25% f the calves exhibited marked abdminal distensin at 9 hurs after the weather had cleared and were believed t be blated. These studies indicated that self-impsed perids f nn-grazing fr varius perids f time culd ccur quite frequently in stcker cattle n the Suthern Great Plains, and may be an imprtant etilgical factr in the stcker syndrme. Starvatin-Re eeding Studies The chemical cmpsitin f the wheat frage samples is shwn in Table 2. The average crude prtein cntent was 26.6% f the frage dry matter. The bdy weight changes during the 12-, 24-, r 48-hur starvatin perids, and after the cattle were put back n wheat pasture are shwn in figure 1. The lnger starvatin perids resulted in marked bdy weight lsses with the 48-hur starvatin perid effecting bdy weight lsses f 3 and 51 Ib fr grups 4 and 6, respectively. The bdy weight changes f the cattle during the 24- and 48-hur starvatin perids are indicative f the lss f cnsiderable gastrintestinal tract fill, whereas thse during the 14-hur perid after the cattle were back n pasture 5 Oklahma Agricultural Experiment Statin

The bld ammnia cncentratins ranged frm apprximately 2.5 t 4p.g/ml f bld (.25 t.4 mg/1 ml f bld) and were nt greatly increased during the pststarvatin perids f rapid wheat frage intake. Even thugh wheat frage is high in prtein and nn-prtein nitrgen, the bld ammnia and plasma urea cncentratins indicate that the rate f ruminal ammnia absrptin did nt exceed the rate at which the liver was capable f cnverting it t urea, and that ammnia txicity per se is prbably nt a significant cause f deaths in cattle grazed n wheat pasture. Bld ammnia cncentratins have t reach apprximately.8 mg/ioo ml befre signs f ammnia txicity are evident, and apprximately 1.5 t 2. mg/ioo ml in rder t result in cattle deaths. ~ -6 ~. ~ -.8 e :I: 1. z.", CD O-hr Starvatin (AM 8 PM) -2.: Time(hrs) Figure 2.
