Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Anogenital Distance and Linear Type Traits in Gir Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although linear type traits have been under selection in the Dairy Gir cattle for the past three decades, there are few studies exploring genetic architecture for these traits. The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes for anogenital distance and linear type traits in the Gir breed. For this study, the body measures of rump length (

Heritability and genetic correlations of feed intake, body weight gain, residual gain, and residual feed intake of beef cattle as heifers and cows.

Journal of Animal Science, 2020
The cow herd consumes approximately 70% of the annual feed resources. To date, most genetic evaluations of feed intake in beef cattle have been made in growing animals and little information is available for mature cows.

Human–Animal Comparisons: Supporting and Criticizing Female Subjugation in Renaissance Italy

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studying gender history through an animal history lens, or vice versa, simultaneously increases our knowledge of ideas about gender and human–animal relations. This approach has particular merit for the Renaissance period, as it witnessed an upsurge in discourse about both the human–animal divide and the distinction between men and women.

Label free shotgun proteomics for the identification of protein biomarkers for beef tenderness in muscle and plasma of heifers.

Journal of Proteomics, 2020
Meat quality prediction is a priority for the beef industry. Label free shotgun proteomics was performed on Longissimus muscle and plasma from 20 crossbred Charolais x Aubrac beef heifers, classified as subgroups of 5 extreme tender and 5 extreme tough ...

The Cow or the Credit: Causal Relationship Between California Dairy Herd Consolidation and Anaerobic Digesters

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 1709-1716, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The California dairy industry has experienced considerable consolidation over the past 30 years. During this period, there has also been substantial technological innovation, implementation of the state's Low Carbon Fuel Standard program, and rapid adoption of anaerobic digesters.

Altering the Distribution of Daily Milk Allowance Pre‐Weaning Affects Growth Trajectories and Weaning Adaptation in Dairy‐Beef Calves

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 6, December 2026.
Calf rearers commonly use restricted milk feeding to reduce costs, although providing more milk early in life may support early growth and calf welfare. This study compared two restricted milk feeding regimens that offered the same amount of calf milk replacer (CMR) but differed in distribution during the rearing period.

Physical soil health properties drive infiltration rates across a landscape mosaic

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
Abstract Soil infiltration is a major component of the terrestrial hydrological cycle related to land management practices within agroecosystems. This study examined the nexus between field‐measured average infiltration rates (AIRs) and key soil health properties determined via the Comprehensive Assessment of Soil Health.

Impacts of stocking density on development and puberty attainment of replacement beef heifers.

Animal, 2017
In all, 60 Angus×Hereford heifers were ranked by age and BW (210±2 days and 220±2 kg) on day 0, and assigned to: (a) one of three drylot pens (10×14 m pens; 10 heifers/pen) resulting in a stocking density of 14 m2/heifer (HIDENS; n=3), or (b) one of ...

Investigating conception rate for beef service sires bred to dairy cows and heifers.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2020
The widespread use of sexed semen on US dairy cows and heifers has led to an excess of replacement heifers' calves, and the sale prices for those calves are much lower than in the past.
