These factors are derived from existing economic models of enlistment supply. A more detailed discussion of these models can be found in Warner and Asch (1995) and Kilburn and Klerman (forthcoming). The chapter also enumerates the data sources we ...

Factors affecting beef cattle producer perspectives on feed efficiency.

To establish the basis for implementation of a producer education program, a social assessment of the willingness and barriers to adoption of a measure of feed efficiency in beef cattle [residual feed intake (RFI)] was conducted. A 35-question mailed survey was sent to 1,888 producers acquired from the stratified random sample of the Idaho Cattle Association member list (n = 488), Red Angus Ass...

Factors affecting time intervals in parturition in beef cattle.

Birth traits of 68 Angus and 49 Charolais x Angus calves sired by four Angus and seven Charolais bulls, respectively, were studied. Timed intervals during the calving process were compared between breed of sire groups. The Charolais sired calves required an average of 3.7 rain longer from the first appearance of the water bag until the feet were first visible; 8.1 rain longer (P<.01) from the t...

ALPHARMA Beef Cattle Symposium: Factors Affecting Feedlot Profitability

vide data on ruminal pH (pH = 6.21 ± 0.34), liquid outflow rate (LOR = 12.1 ± 4.0 L/kg DM), and ruminally digested OM (rdOM = 39.5 ± 10.3 % DM). The LOR is an index of buffer recycling/kg DMI and rdOM is an index of VFA production/kg DMI. The compliled data also included dry matter intake (DMI = 2.81 ± .87 % LW) and Acetate/Propionate ratio (A/P = 3.18 ± 0.89). Data were analyzed using GLM proc...
