Animal welfare index: an animal welfare evaluation of beef production farms in Ireland

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2022
The study objective was to examine the animal welfare status of Irish beef production farms using an animal welfare index (AWI). Beef production farms (n = 105) including suckler calf-to-beef (n = 30), suckler calf/weaning/finishing (n = 63), dairy calf ...

Effect of Post-Grazing Sward Height, Sire Genotype and Indoor Finishing Diet on Steer Intake, Growth and Production in Grass-Based Suckler Weanling-to-Beef Systems

Animals, 2021
This study evaluated the effects of post-grazing sward height (PGSH, 4 or 6 cm) on herbage production, its nutritive value, dry matter (DM) intake, grazing behaviour and growth of early- (EM) and late-maturing (LM) breed suckler steers (n = 72), and the ...

Enhancing early life nutrition alters the hepatic transcriptome of Angus × Holstein-Friesian heifer calves

Animal, 2022
Early life nutrition has a major influence on subsequent lifetime performance in cattle. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of plane of nutrition from 3 to 21 weeks of age on the liver transcriptome. Holstein-Friesian × Angus heifer

Genome-wide association study of economically important traits in Charolais and Limousin beef cows

Animal, 2021
Genomic selection has proven effective for advancing genetic gain for key profit traits in dairy cattle production systems. However, its impact to-date on genetic improvement programs for beef cattle has been less effective.

Mitochondrial abundance and function in skeletal muscle and liver from Simmental beef cattle divergent for residual feed intake

Animal, 2020
Cellular mitochondrial function has been suggested to contribute to variation in feed efficiency (FE) among animals. The objective of this study was to determine mitochondrial abundance and activities of various mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (

Fracture of complex metallic alloys: An atomistic study of model systems [PDF]

, 2006
Molecular dynamics simulations of crack propagation are performed for two extreme cases of complex metallic alloys (CMAs): In a model quasicrystal the structure is determined by clusters of atoms, whereas the model C15 Laves phase is a simple periodic ...
