Multi-Breed Genomic Predictions for Average Daily Gain in Three Italian Beef Cattle Breeds. [PDF]
J Anim Breed GenetABSTRACTMarchigiana, Chianina, and Romagnola are three Italian autochthonous beef cattle breeds that have been historically selected for meat production. Recent advancements suggest that the use of genomic data and multi‐breed (MB) models to combine information from different breeds may help to increase the accuracies of genomic predictions, in ...

Effects of Lawsonia intracellularis on Average Daily Gain in finisher pigs [PDF]
, 2012 Lawsonia intracellularis (LI) is the causative agent of porcine proliferative enteropathy1, a disease that is found with high prevalence in all countries with industrial pig production. The infection is known to cause disease in different age groups. In pigs between 6 to 20 weeks of age the endemic form called Porcine Intestinal Andenomatosis (PIA) is ...

343 The Influence of Weather Variables on Average Daily Gain of Beef Steers [PDF]
J Anim Sci, 2021 Abstract Average daily gain is one of the most important measures producers utilize to measure productivity of beef cattle. The objective was to examine how weather variables influence ADG. Data from 790 beef steers collected using an Insentec feeding system were utilized for this study.
