Production of Grade Hereford, Beefmaster x Hereford, and Braford x Hereford Calves in South Florida
INTRODUCTION In any discussion of beef cattle production in a particular environment the matter of climatic adaptability is of prime consideration. Adaptation for beef cattle might be defined as the ability to reproduce, grow and thrive under local environmental conditions. Much has been written about the ability or inability of temperate zone breeds of cattle to adapt to hot, humid, subtropica...
متن کاملFABP4 is a leading candidate gene associated with residual feed intake in growing Holstein calves.
Ecological and economic concerns drive the need to improve feed utilization by domestic animals. Residual feed intake (RFI) is one of the most acceptable measures for feed efficiency (FE). However, phenotyping RFI-related traits is complex and expensive and requires special equipment. Advances in marker technology allow the development of various DNA-based selection tools. To assimilate these t...
متن کاملGenetic parameter estimation of postweaning gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency for Hereford and Angus bulls fed two different diets.
Postweaning gain performance and individual feed intake on 271 Hereford and 263 Angus bulls were recorded during three 168-d test periods from 1984 to 1986. Each breed was composed of two lines and within each breed bulls were fed either a high-energy (HD) or a medium-energy (MD) diet. Energy intake was partitioned into energy for maintenance and growth based on predicted individual animal requ...
متن کاملGenetic variation in residual feed intake and its association with other production traits in British Hereford cattle
Variation in residual feed intake, that is, variation in feed intake in relation to liveweight (LW) and growth rate, was investigated using data from 540 progeny of 154 British Hereford sires, collected over ten 200-day postweaning performance tests conducted between 1979 and 1988. Residual feed intake (RFI ) was calculated for each test as the difference between Reg actual feed and expected fe...
متن کاملChanges in plasma volatile fatty acids in response to weaning and feed intake in young calves.
Effects of weaning age on plasma VFA were examined using 16 Holstein heifer calves. Animals entered the study at 6 +/- 3.5 d of age and were fed 1.8 kg milk twice daily to 28 (early weaning) or 56 d (late weaning) and a commercial pelleted calf starter from 0 (early) or 28 (late) d. Blood was sampled once weekly for 14 wk. Total blood concentrations of VFA, acetate, propionate, and butyrate wer...
