Spring 2021
Approximately 70% of the cost of beef production is impacted by dietary intake. Maximizing production efficiency of beef cattle requires not only genetic selection to maximize feed efficiency (i.e. residual feed intake - RFI), but also adequate nutrition throughout all stages of growth and...

Reproductive efficiency in the Western Canadian beef cow herd has not improved over the past 3 decades, despite consistent and measurable improvement in several related areas of production. The general objective of this thesis was to evaluate the relationships between early-observation traits...

Rangeland Habitat Use and Activity of Cattle with Divergent Molecular Breeding Values for Residual Feed Intake
DownloadSpring 2018
Selection for the trait residual feed intake (RFI) is an emerging tool for cattle producers to manage feed costs within the beef industry. This study explored whether cattle habitat use and activity on extensive pasture-based systems in the dry mixedgrass of Alberta differed between cattle with...
