Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine effects of tylosin on ruminal concentrations of Fusobacterium necrophorum and fermentation products in cattle during rapid adaptation to a high-concentrate diet. ANIMALS 6 steers fitted with ruminal cannulas. PROCEDURE Steers were assigned randomly to 2 treatment groups and switched from a 0 to an 85% concentrate diet during a 4-day period. Cattle received this diet, with or without tylosin (90 mg/steer/d), for 4 weeks. Samples of ruminal contents were collected daily beginning 2 days before the treatment protocol and in the first week of concentrate feeding. Four subsequent samples were collected at weekly intervals. Concentration of F. necrophorum in samples was determined, using the most-probable-number technique. Ruminal pH and concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFA), lactate, and ammonia also were determined. All steers received both treatments separated by 4 weeks (cross-over design), during which time they were fed alfalfa hay only. RESULTS In control steers, concentration of F. necrophorum increased in response to the high-concentrate diet. Tylosin-fed steers had lower concentrations of F. necrophorum than control steers at all times during concentrate feeding. However, ruminal pH and concentrations of lactate, VFA, and ammonia did not differ between treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Tylosin caused a significant reduction in ruminal concentrations of F. necrophorum during rapid adaptation to a high-concentrate diet but had no effect on fermentation products. The reduction in ruminal concentration of F. necrophorum helps explain the reduction in prevalence of hepatic abscesses reported in tylosin-fed feedlot cattle.

Abstract
The objective of Exp. 1 was to compare the effects of virginiamycin (VM; 0, 175, or 250 mg x animal(-1) x d(-1)) and monensin/tylosin (MT; 250/ 90 mg x animal(-1) x d(-1)) on ruminal fermentation products and microbial populations in cattle during adaptation to an all-concentrate diet. Four ruminally cannulated, Holstein steers were used in a 4x4 Williams square design with 21-d periods. Steers were stepped up to an all-concentrate diet fed at 2.5% of BW once daily. Ruminal pH, protozoal counts, and NH3-N and VFA concentrations generally were unaffected by VM or MT. Mean counts of Lactobacillus and Streptococcus bovis were lower (P<.05) for VM-treated compared with control or MT-treated steers. Both VM and MT prevented the increase in Fusobacterium necrophorum counts associated with increasing intake of the high-concentrate diet observed in the control. The objective of Exp. 2 was to compare the effects of VM and MT on ruminal pH, L(+) lactate and VFA concentrations, and F. necrophorum numbers during carbohydrate overload. Six ruminally cannulated Holstein steers were assigned randomly to either the control, VM (175 mg/d), or MT (250 + 90 mg/d) treatments. Acidosis was induced with intraruminal administration of a slurry of ground corn and corn starch. The VM and MT premixes were added directly to the slurry before administration. Carbohydrate challenge induced acute ruminal acidosis (pH was 4.36 and L (+) lactate was 19.4 mM) in controls by 36 h. Compared with the controls, steers receiving VM or MT had higher (P<.05) ruminal pH, and the VM group had a lower (P<.05) L (+) lactate concentration. Fusobacterium necrophorum numbers initially increased in VM- and MT-administered steers. In the control steers, F. necrophorum was undetectable by 36 h. Virginiamycin seemed to control the growth of ruminal lactic acid-producing bacteria and, therefore, has the potential to moderate ruminal fermentation in situations that could lead to rapid production of lactic acid.

Abstract
Carcass data from one side of 610 steers born from 1988 to 1990 in Cycle IV of the Germ Plasm Evaluation research program were analyzed to develop means for carcass traits and retail product percentages at two fat trim levels (.76 and .00 cm) by yield grade categories. Weights of subcutaneous (s.c.) fat and intermuscular (i.e.m.) fat were recorded separately at each trim level. Quadratic regression curves were plotted for percentages of roast and steak meat (R&S), retail product (RP), and fat trim components relative to incremental changes in USDA yield grade. Prediction equations were developed on a randomly chosen half of the 610 carcasses to predict weights and percentages of R&S, RP, and fat trim using carcass traits obtained at the time of USDA grading and then tested on the remaining half of the carcasses. In addition, prediction equations were developed using s.c. and i.e.m. fat plus carcass traits to evaluate the contribution of each to carcass fabrication yields. Percentage of RP, trimmed to either .76 cm or .00 cm of fat, decreased by an average of 3.5% for each full yield grade increase. Trimming to .00 cm of fat resulted in about 5.3% less RP compared to trimming to .76 cm. A prediction equation for percentage of RP trimmed to .00 cm using adjusted fat thickness, carcass weight, longissimus muscle area, and percentage of kidney knob had an R2 value of .54. The variations in percentage of R&S and percentage of RP at both trim levels were reduced by removing s.c. fat trimmed to .76 cm; however, considerable variation still existed. Subcutaneous fat expressed as a percentage of the sum of i.e.m. and s.c. fat increased as yield grade increased, but the percentage of i.e.m. fat was higher than the percentage of s.c. fat for all yield grades. On the basis of partial correlation coefficients, i.e.m. fat was approximately twice as important as s.c. fat in accounting for variations in fabrication yields.

Abstract
The efficacy and the optimum dose of Fusobacterium necrophorum crude leukotoxoid vaccine required to immunize and protect steers against experimentally induced liver abscesses were evaluated. The vaccine consisted of cell-free culture supernatant of a high leukotoxin-producing strain of F. necrophorum, inactivated with formalin and homogenized with an adjuvant. Twenty-five steers were assigned randomly to the following five treatment groups: control; three doses (1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mL) of the culture supernatant; and 2.25 mL of the concentrated supernatant (equivalent to 5 mL of the original supernatant). Vaccine was injected subcutaneously on d 0 and 21. Blood samples were collected weekly to monitor antileukotoxin antibody titers. Three weeks after the second vaccination (d 42), all steers were injected intraportally with F. necrophorum culture to induce liver abscesses. Three weeks later (d 63), steers were euthanatized and necropsied; livers were examined and protection assessed. Antileukotoxin antibody titers in the control steers generally did not differ from the baseline (wk 0) titers. The titers in the vaccinated groups increased, more so after the second injection, and the increase was generally dose-dependent. Necropsy examination revealed that all steers in the control group had abscesses in the liver. In the vaccinated groups, two of five steers in the 1.0-mL group and one each in the 2.0-, 5.0-, and 2.25-mL (concentrated) groups had liver abscesses. Antileukotoxin antibody titers were higher (P < .05) in steers that did not develop abscesses than in steers that developed abscesses. The difference suggested a protective effect of antileukotoxin antibodies against experimentally induced liver abscesses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of leukotoxin-based Fusobacterium necrophorum vaccines and dietary tylosin in providing protection against experimentally induced hepatic abscesses in steers. DESIGN 30 steers assigned randomly to 6 treatment groups of 5 steers each: 1, phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBSS; control); 2, PBSS control, fed tylosin (100 mg/steer) daily; 3, inactivated whole-cell culture with oil emulsion adjuvant; 4, culture supernatant (crude toxoid) with oil emulsion adjuvant; 5, semipurified leukotoxoid with oil emulsion adjuvant; and 6, semipurified leukotoxoid with saponin adjuvant. PROCEDURE Steers were inoculated SC with emulsified antigen or PBSS on days 0 and 21. Blood samples were collected at weekly intervals to monitor serum antileukotoxin antibody titer. On day 42, all steers were challenge exposed intraportally with F necrophorum culture. Three weeks later (day 63), steers were euthanatized and necropsied to examine liver and assess protection. RESULTS Antileukotoxin antibody titers of all vaccinated groups markedly increased from baseline values, and mean titers of vaccinated groups were higher than those of the control and tylosin-treated groups. Steers vaccinated with culture supernatant with oil emulsion adjuvant or semipurified leukotoxoid with saponin adjuvant had the highest mean antibody titers. All 5 steers in the control group developed liver abscesses. Tylosin feeding did not protect steers challenge exposed with F necrophorum intraportally. CONCLUSIONS Culture supernatant was more protective than whole-cell culture or semipurified leukotoxin against experimentally induced hepatic abscesses. Partial purification of leukotoxin appeared to reduce its protective immunity.

Abstract
Fluctuations in ciliated protozoan concentrations were monitored in 40 individually fed crossbred heifers that were stepped up to an 85% concentrate diet either slowly (12 days) or rapidly (3 days), with or without monensin (30 ppm). Ruminal fluid was withdrawn from all animals by stomach tube at the start of the study, after each group reached full feed, and at 14-day intervals thereafter throughout the finishing period until termination (day 119). Neither monensin nor speed of step-up affected (P greater than 0.10) total protozoan concentrations, ruminal pH, or lactic acid concentrations. Average protozoan concentrations peaked on day 5, progressively declined until day 56, and then increased (P less than 0.05), suggesting an adaptation to ruminal conditions. Concentrations of Isotricha spp. were higher (P less than 0.05) on the final two sampling dates than at any other time. After day 28, Entodinium, Isotricha, and Polyplastron were the only surviving genera. Protozoa were not detected in 11 heifers on day 42 and day 56, but only two animals were defaunated on day 119, indicating either exogenous or endogenous refaunation. Average protozoan concentrations were not different (P greater than 0.25) between ruminal samples collected by stomach tube the day before slaughter (2.8 x 10(5)/g) and digesta samples collected the next day (1.6 x 10(5)/g). In feedlot cattle, defaunation apparently is transitory and individual animals harbor a dynamic protozoan population that fluctuates in response to changing ruminal conditions.

Abstract
One hundred eleven Simmental x Hereford (3/8 to 5/8 Simmental) heifers were used to determine the effects of age, parturition and implantation on performance, carcass and meat-sensory traits, muscle-collagen characteristics and thoracic-button calcification. Eighty-five heifers that calved at about 2 yr of age, designated as single-calf heifers (SCH), were either implanted (I-SCH) with Synovex-H or not implanted (NI-SCH). The remaining 26, 2-yr-old non-pregnant heifers (2-OH) served as controls. Additionally, 24, 1-yr-old open heifers (1-OH) from the same genetic source were utilized as the standard heifer-production system. The 1-OH and 2-OH were slaughtered after being fed a high-grain diet for 137 and 112 d, respectively. The SCH were fed the same high-grain diet beginning about 1 mo after calving and were fed 137 d before slaughter. The 33 I-SCH were implanted when started on the high-grain diet. Calves were weaned about 5 wk before the SCH were slaughtered. The 2-OH had the highest (P less than .05) feedlot ADG, whereas no differences (P greater than .05) occurred among other treatments. Dressing percentages were higher (P less than .01) for I-SCH than for NI-SCH. Carcass weights were lowest (P less than .05) and percentage kidney, pelvic and heart fat was highest (P less than .01) for 1-OH. Fat thickness, yield grades, marbling scores and quality grades were similar (P greater than .05) and desirable for all treatments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Ruminal samples were collected at slaughter from 364 unfasted steers fed different finishing diets to obtain information on numbers and species distribution of ciliated protozoa in feedlot cattle. Total numbers of protozoa averaged 1.59 X 10(5)/g of ruminal contents. A total of 47 steers (12.9%) were defaunated, but 4.1% of the steers possessed numbers of protozoa greater than 10(6)/g. Entodinium species did not always dominate the protozoan populations; 41 faunated steers (11.2%) were devoid of entodinia, and 79 additional steers (21.7%) possessed populations dominated (greater than 50%) by other genera. Isotricha was the most commonly occurring genus supplanting Entodinium, but Polyplastron and Epidinium were frequently present in high concentrations. Tallow and soybean soapstock supplementation reduced (P less than .05) numbers of protozoa in steers consuming wheat diets. However, yellow grease supplementation did not affect numbers of protozoa in steers fed either sorghum or corn diets. Average ruminal pH was 6.20 on the wheat diet, 6.05 on the corn diet, and 5.69 and 6.23 for the two sorghum diets, respectively. We found no correlation between ruminal pH and numbers of protozoa on any diet. The presence of relatively high protozoan concentrations and few defaunated animals in feedlot cattle necessitates reevaluation of the role that ciliated protozoa play in ruminal metabolism of animals fed processed, high-concentrate diets.

Abstract
Some statisticians contend that the experimentwise Type I error rate is the most important attribute of multiple comparison procedures to be used for making all possible pairwise comparisons among treatment means after an analysis of variance. That contention is challenged here. The importance of Type I errors is discussed as well as the occurrence of Type I errors in biological experiments. Also considered is the effect of Type I error protection on power. The two methods of measuring Type I error rate, comparisonwise and experimentwise, are explained, and the reader may decide which kind he wishes to control. Several references cited support Fisher's least significant difference and Duncan's new multiple range test despite their higher-than-nominal experimentwise Type I error rates. These procedures control the comparisonwise Type I error rates and are considerably more powerful in finding differences among treatments than procedures that control the experimentwise Type I error rates.
