Canadian Consumer Preference and Willingness to Pay for Beef Raised under Different Antimicrobial Use Practices
DownloadFall 2024
In recent years, there have been rising public concerns regarding production practices related to antimicrobial use (AMU) in food-animal production (FAP). Many FAP practices have requirements that consumers are not fully aware of. The raised without antibiotics (RWA) requires that no antibiotic...

Developing a genome-wide selection model for genetic improvement of residual feed intake and carcass merit in a beef cattle breeding program
Download2012
Zeng, ZhiYao, Moore, Stephen S., Lai, SongJia, Plastow, Graham, Tang, GuoQing, Wang, ZhiQuan, Ma, JiDeng, Li, XueWei
Residual feed intake (RFI) and carcass merit (CM) are both complex traits emerging as critical targets for beef genetic improvement. RFI and CM traits are difficult and expensive to measure and genetic improvement for these traits through traditional selection methods is not very effective....

Calf morbidity and mortality due to Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is highest in the first two weeks after arrival at the feedlot. Feedlots use antimicrobial drugs (AMDs) to maintain calf health, which contributes to general antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR causes externality costs to human...

Spring 2015
Beef fatty acid (FA) composition has emerged as a trait of economic importance as consumers have become more aware of the relationship between diet and health. As a result, they are paying more attention on the health impact of the food they consume including the type of dietary fat. Clinical...

Genome-wide association and genomic prediction of breeding values for fatty acid composition in subcutaneous adipose and longissimus lumborum muscle of beef cattle
Download2015
Ekine-Dzivenu, Chinyere, Basarab, John A., Li, Changxi, Chen, Liuhong, Vinsky, Michael D., Aalhus, Jennifer L., Fitzsimmons, Carolyn J., Stothard, Paul, Dugan, Mike E. R.
Background Identification of genetic variants that are associated with fatty acid composition in beef will enhance our understanding of host genetic influence on the trait and also allow for more effective improvement of beef fatty acid profiles through genomic selection and marker-assisted diet...
