Average daily gain rates determine eye muscle area and rump fat depth of beef heifers
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019 In cow-calf beef production systems, the growth and development of replacement heifers deserve special attention because they affect the age at puberty and the onset of reproductive activity.

Methane and Carbon Dioxide Emission of Beef Heifers in Relation with Growth and Feed Efficiency
Animals, 2019 Simple Summary For sustainable meat production, beef farmers must make the best use of grass and roughage while limiting the carbon footprint of their herds. The genetic improvement in feed efficiency and enteric methane production of replacement heifers

Glycogen metabolites and meat quality in feed-restricted re-fed beef heifers [PDF]
, 1996 Twenty-four Hereford crossbred heifers weighing 222 kg (22 kg SD) and aged 226 d (13 d SD) on day 0 were used to investigate the effects of feed restriction (period 1) followed by realimentation (period 2) on hepatic and longissimus muscle glycogen ...

Forage-Based Heifer Development Program for North Florida
EDIS, 2018 Florida has 915,000 beef cows and 125,000 replacement heifers (USDA, 2016). Developing these heifers so that they can become productive females in the cow herd is a tremendous investment in a cow/calf operation, an investment that takes several years to

Luteolytic effect of oestrone sulphate on cyclic beef heifers [PDF]
Reproduction, 1979 Summary. The action of oestrone sulphate on luteal function was tested in cyclic beef heifers. Once daily injection of 28 or 56 mg oestrone sulphate in corn oil beginning on Day 10 of the cycle had a significant luteolytic effect as compared to corn oil-treated controls.
