Four Angus steers (BW ¼ 35073 kg) with esophageal cannulae and four fitted with
ruminal cannulas (BW ¼ 35175 kg) as well as. Fifteen steers of the same racial characteristics
(BW ¼ 32072 kg), were used to evaluate seasonally across four years (2005 - 2009
excluding,, 2007) the nutritive quality of diet and the blood metabolites and insulin levels
in grazing beef cattle a Chihuahuan desert. Rangeland.The diet consumed by grazing cattle
during spring and winter was low quality because of crude protein (CP) was less than
70. G / kg DM and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) higher than 720 g / kg DM. Initial washing
loss at time zero "A", digestion rate. "C", effective degradability of NDF (EDNDF) and
CP (EDCP), potential gas production (PGP), ruminal ammonia - nitrogen (NH3N),. Total
.Volatile fatty acids (TVFA) propionate butyrate glucose (,, G), urea nitrogen (UN) and
insulin were highest in summer compared. To spring (Po0.05). In, contrast ruminal
acetate concentrations and blood non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) level were highest. In
spring as compared to summer (Po0.05). It was concluded that season of grazing had
.A marked influence on diet quality as well as in the blood metabolites and insulin levels in
grazing beef cattle a desert. Rangeland.
