Download2013
Wang, Z., Nkrumah, D. J., Basarab, J. A., Durunna, O. N., Okine, E. K., Moore, S. S., Mujibi, F. D. N.
Because cattle can be raised postweaning under several feeding regimes, this study examined the consistency of phenotypic and genetic parameters of some production and feeding behaviour traits between two feeding periods that beef cattle received a finisher diet. Crossbred steers (n=851) were...

McCartney, D., Ambrose, D. J., Colazo, M. G., Baron, V. S., Novak, S., Basarab, J. A.
This study examined the effects of residual feed intake (RFI), RFI adjusted for off-test backfat thickness (RFIfat) and RFI adjusted for off-test backfat thickness and feeding event frequency (RFIfat & activity) on heifer fertility and productivity. Beef heifers (n=190) were monitored for...
