Breeding and Genetics: Beef Cattle
The association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of calpain 1 (CAPN1) gene with shear force of 2.54 cm steaks from M. longissimus dorsi from Gannan yaks (Bos grunniens, n = 181) was studied. The experimental design was a repeated measures with the main unit in a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of treatments (age at harvest x SNP) and the repeated subunit was a...
متن کاملBreeding and Genetics: Beef Cattle
Bovine infectious keratoconjunctivitis (BIK, pinkeye) is an economically important illness affecting growth of calves. The primary objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for BIK in beef calves prior to weaning. Health records of 47,880 calves born at the Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, NE from 1983 through 2001 were evaluated. Cows and calves were monitored daily f...
متن کاملSupplementary Feeding of Grazing Beef Cattle
Some 60% of Australia% beef cattle are located in the tropics and subtropics, grazing, in general native pastures of low digestibility and N content. Production per head is low, as also are reproductive rates. The nutritional problem centres around the low contents of phosphorus, sulphur and nitrogen in pastures from June to December. This paper discusses responses in breeding cattle to supplem...
متن کاملTrace Mineral Supplementation of Grazing Beef Cattle
The nutrient quality of forage, particularly perennial warm-season grasses, is often lacking in trace mineral content to supply the requirements of most all classes of grazing cattle. Since forage is the most significant contributor to the trace mineral nutrition of grazing beef cattle, it is important to consider these deficits and how they may impact the performance of the cattle consuming th...
متن کاملBreeding objectives for beef cattle in Ireland
Breeding objectives for beef cattle in Ireland were derived and used to define selection sub-indexes. The intention of the sub-indexes was to simplify selection decisions by commercial bull and semen buyers for situations where all of the resulting progeny are slaughtered, or when some female progeny are kept as replacement breeding cows. Separate sets of economic values for calving ease and ge...
