Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 535-547, November 2026.Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 774-783, November 2026.ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Maternal Productivity in Beef Cattle: The impact on the female herd of genetic selection for a divergence in fatness or feed efficiency [PDF]
, 2010 Beef cows, particularly as part of seed stock and cow/calf enterprises, are farmed extensively in temperate environments in southern Australia. The fundamental premise of a productive beef enterprise is a calving interval of 365 days. However, production

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2012 The objective of this experiment was to study the development and reproductive performance of sixty-six Charolais crossbred beef heifers bred at fourteen months of age, classified in four groups according to pre and postweaning average daily weight gain (

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2015 This study was conducted to evaluate the ingestive behavior, displacement patterns and meal dynamics of beef heifers in Alexandergrass pasture (Urochloa plantaginea (Link.) Hitch) receiving different amounts of oat grain: 0, 0.80 and 1.12% of body weight

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 821-833, November 2026.ABSTRACT Functional longevity (FL) is a complex trait that integrates many attributes directly contributing to the successful retention and productivity of a cow within the herd. Consequently, improving FL in beef cattle increases herd profitability. This study aimed to estimate the genetic associations between two alternative FL definitions and traits

Open Cow Replacement Decisions: an Application of Asset Replacement Theory [PDF]
Beef producers must decide what to do with a cow that fails to conceive during the breeding season. Keeping the open cow results in a years expenses without any revenue.
