OverviewAI-generated summary
Z. L. DeBord's research focuses on animal nutrition and growth performance, particularly in beef cattle. Their work has investigated the effects of dietary supplements, such as biuret and Lasalocid (Bovatec), on the growth performance of yearling calves grazing in different environments. Studies have examined the impact of these inclusions in commercial mineral supplements under conditions like the Kansas Flint Hills and on native grass pastures.
Additional research has explored the bunk space requirements for growing beef cattle fed high-energy diets composed of corn and corn co-products. This work contributes to understanding optimal feeding strategies and resource allocation in livestock management. DeBord has published three scholarly articles and collaborates with researchers at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including M. G. Pflughoeft and K. J. Suhr.
