   The key to profitable finishing is maximising feed conversion efficiency (FCE). FCE is achieved by maintaining optimum dry matter intakes and high liveweight gains. Improving FCE reduces the amount of feed required for each unit of weight gain, so it cuts your production costs.

   • Acidosis -- The condition is observed from mild off-feed to chronic off-feed, lameness or even to mortalities. Also may be referred to as rumen overload, digestive upset or grain overload.
   • ADG -- Average daily gain. The amount of gain divided by the number of days in the feeding period.
   • Auction Market or Barn -- The most common option for selling cattle is the Livestock Auction Market. This is a centrally located facility where beef producers take their cattle to be sold.
   • Backgrounding -- Calves put on a high-forage ration to increase their weight to between 800 to 900 pounds before being placed on finishing rations.

   Why do cattle feedlots need a balanced feedlot?

   • The type and quality of grains, as well as the balance of essential nutrients (vitamins, proteins, trace minerals), significantly impact efficiency. Balanced feed increases average daily gain and can decrease feed cost per pound of gain. Cattle feedlots also focus on digestibility.

   Why do cattle eat balanced feed?

   • Balanced feed increases average daily gain and can decrease feed cost per pound of gain. Cattle feedlots also focus on digestibility. Grains like corn, barley, and oats are easier to digest when processed. By cracking the outer shell of the grain, rumen microbes are better able to utilize grain starch and minerals.

   How much weight can a cow gain at a feedlot?

   • Depending on the cattle’s weight at feedlot placement, along with feeding conditions and desired grade, the feedlot period can be anywhere from 90 to 300 days. The average weight gain is between 2.5 and 4 pounds per day on a diet ratio of 6 pounds of dry-matter feed per 1 pound of gain.
