OverviewAI-generated summary

Z. L. DeBord's research focuses on livestock nutrition and management, particularly concerning beef cattle. Their work has investigated the effects of various feed supplementations on growth performance in yearling calves. This includes studies examining the inclusion of biuret and lasalocid (Bovatec) in mineral supplements for calves grazing in the Kansas Flint Hills, with results indicating no significant improvement in growth performance in one trial. Another area of study has explored the impact of bunk space availability on growing beef cattle fed high-energy diets. DeBord has collaborated with researchers M. G. Pflughoeft, K. J. Suhr, D. A. Blasi, and F. K. Brazle, all from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, on these projects.
