Supplementation Strategies for Beef Cattle
cattle—as concentrated feeds, harvested forages, or a complementary grazing program— accounts for a significant portion of annual production costs in a cattle operation. To optimize productivity of today’s cattle operations, some supplemental nutrients will be required at critical periods during the annual production cycle. However, producers need to avoid unnecessarily compounding this cost by...
متن کاملStrategies for Managing Marbling in Beef Cattle
The objective of this paper is to review strategies that are known to enhance the level of marbling in beef. Research has demonstrated that marbling contributes significantly to beef’s eating quality—primarily to flavor and juiciness—but also to tenderness. Furthermore, a recent study showed that consumers are willing to pay 50% more for well-marbled USDA Prime grade steaks than for lesser-marb...
متن کاملEvaluation of developed low-density genotype panels for imputation to higher density in independent dairy and beef cattle populations.
The objective of this study was to develop, using alternative algorithms, low-density SNP genotyping panels (384 to 12,000 SNP), which can be accurately imputed to higher-density panels across independent cattle populations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected based on genomic characteristics (i.e., linkage disequilibrium [LD], minor allele frequency [MAF], and genomic distance) in a ...
متن کاملProceedings, Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle
A commercially viable cattle embryo transfer (ET) industry was established during the early 1970s. Initially, techniques for recovering and transferring cattle embryos were exclusively surgical. However, by the late 1970s, most embryos were recovered and transferred nonsurgically. Successful cryopreservation of embryos was widespread by the early 1980s, followed by the introduction of embryo sp...
متن کاملProceedings, Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle
Commercial artificial insemination (AI) is arguably one of the greatest animal biotechnologies introduced in the 20 century. The benefits of improved genetics and reduced disease transmission have been readily recognized and accepted by the dairy producer, and at present, approximately 70% of the US dairy cattle population are bred by AI. Since the introduction of commercial AI in the early 194...
