A comparison of reproductive and growth traits of horned and polled cattle in three synthetic beef lines
Download1999
Pang, H., Price, M. A., Goonewardene, L. A., Berg, R. T.
One hundred and thirty-seven cow-calf pairs on pasture in southeastern Alberta, were randomly allocated to one of two treatments no supplement (NOS) or a high by-pass protein (70% of CP) creep supplement (HPS) at an intake of 1.5 kg head−1 d−1. Calf weaning weights and pre-weaning ADG were higher...

The study of methanogenesis in wastewater biofilms and various aggregated methanogenic environmental samples with high spatial resolution can be achieved by using microbiosensor techniques. In this study, the fabrication of a microbiosensor for methane detection was studied. This microbiosensor...

Plastow, G., Durunna, O. N., Stothard, P., Mujibi, F. D. N., Moore, S. S., Wang, Z., Basarab, J. A., Nkrumah, D. J., Crews Jr, D. H., Mah, J.
The benefit of using genomic breeding values (GEBV) in predicting ADG, DMI, and residual feed intake for an admixed population was investigated. Phenotypic data consisting of individual daily feed intake measurements for 721 beef cattle steers tested over 5 yr was available for analysis. The...

The natural gas industry recognises that the need for removal of CH4 from C2H6 feedstock C2H4 production and utilization. CH4 being a contaminant in the production of C2H4 and furthermore in the production of polymers from C2H4. Dethanizers in gas processing plants are energy intensive and...

Analysis of genotype-environment interactions from a genome-wide survey of quantitative trait loci in a barley population
Download2010-01-01
Ham, Bangjoo, Spaner, Dean, Rahman, M. H., Yeh, F. C., Yang, Rong-Cai
The presence of genotype-environment interactions (GE) leads to the imperfect genetic correlation between the measurements of the same trait in different environments, thereby limiting the ability of plant breeders to identify superior breeding lines or best cultivars across the environments. We...

SOFCs which can directly operate under high concentration of H2S would be economically beneficial as this reduces the cost of gas purification. H2S is highly reactive gas specie which can poison most of the conventional catalysts. As a result, developing anode materials which can tolerate high...

Application of manure from cattle fed with different diets affects soil properties and greenhouse gas emissions
DownloadSpring 2019
Cattle production contributes the largest portion of livestock agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada mostly in the form of methane (CH4). Efforts to reduce CH4 emissions have led to modification of diet composition for livestock, resulting in a corresponding change in manure...

Application of Multi-Omics Tools to Study the Genetic Background of Economically Relevant Traits in Commercial Beef Production
DownloadSpring 2022
The sustainability and profitability of beef cattle production are largely associated with feed efficiency, carcass merit, and resistance to infectious diseases. These traits are difficult or expensive to measure on individual animals, which makes them suitable for genomic application. Currently...
