Methane Emissions and the Use of Desmanthus in Beef Cattle Production in Northern Australia

Animals, 2019
The Australian beef industry is a major contributor to the economy with an estimated annual revenue generation of over seven billion dollars. The tropical state of Queensland accounted for 48% of Australian beef and veal production in 2018.

Selective signatures in composite MONTANA TROPICAL beef cattle reveal potential genomic regions for tropical adaptation. [PDF]

PLoS One
Genomic regions related to tropical adaptability are of paramount importance for animal breeding nowadays, especially in the context of global climate change. Moreover, understanding the genomic architecture of these regions may be very relevant for aiding breeding programs in choosing the best selection scheme for tropical adaptation and/or ...

Raising double-muscled breed cattle and their crossbreds in the tropics: insight from growth models [PDF]

Veterinary World
Background and Aim: In tropical conditions, modeling the predictive parameters of live weight, including those at birth, pre-weaning, post-weaning, finishing, and maturing, and the average daily gain, is challenging.

Three environmental dimensions of beef cattle in tropical feedlot: Water, nutrients and land

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
This study aims to evaluate water, land, and nutrient efficiencies in a tropical beef feedlot system by providing artificial shading and considering local conditions and feed cultivation. The study was conducted at the Experimental Feedlot of Embrapa Southeast Livestock in Brazil.

Treatments to Optimize the Use of Artificial Insemination and Reproductive Efficiency in Beef Cattle under Tropical Environments

Veterinary Medicine International, 2011
Bos indicus cattle, the preferred genetic group in tropical climates, are characterized by having a lower reproductive efficiency than Bos taurus. The reasons for the poorer reproductive efficiency of the Bos indicus cows include longer lengths of ...

Economic Evaluation of Nitrogen Fertilization Levels in Beef Cattle Production: Implications for Sustainable Tropical Pasture Management

Agriculture, 2023
Understanding economic scenarios is crucial in all production chains. Tropical pastures are Brazil’s primary food source for beef cattle production, and current pasture management is not ideal due to land degradation.

Towards multi-breed genomic evaluations for female fertility of tropical beef cattle. [PDF]

J Anim Sci, 2019
Developing accurate genomic evaluations of fertility for tropical beef cattle must deal with at least two major challenges (i) recording cow fertility traits in extensive production systems on large numbers of cows and (ii) the genomic evaluations should work across the breeds, crossbreds, and composites used in tropical beef production.
