Скачать или смотреть Protein Imbalance: The Hidden Profit Killer in Beef Fattening

Most cattle producers hit a crude protein target and assume the job is done. But protein in a finishing ration is not just a percentage — it's a dynamic relationship with energy density, rumen fermentation, metabolic stage, and cost of gain. In this video, we break down why excess rumen degradable protein disrupts feed efficiency, why underfeeding protein during transition causes weeks of lost performance, and how the protein to energy ratio matters far more than the protein percentage itself. Whether you're feeding distillers grains, soybean meal, urea, or bypass protein sources, learning to adjust dietary protein across the growing and finishing phases is what separates profitable feedlot operations from break-even closeouts. This is practical cattle nutrition for real-world beef producers who want to optimize feed conversion, reduce days on feed, and tighten their cost structure pen by pen.

🔴 Why the protein to energy ratio matters more than crude protein percentage
🔴 How excess rumen degradable protein spikes ammonia and steals energy from gain
🔴 The costly mistake of underfeeding protein during the transition phase
🔴 How to evaluate protein sources by cost per unit of gain — not cost per ton
🔴 When to adjust protein levels across early, mid, and late finishing stages
🔴 Field indicators like manure consistency and intake patterns that signal imbalance
🔴 Why optimizing ration cost and optimizing cost of gain are NOT the same thing
🔴 The monitoring discipline that separates profitable feeders from the rest
