Genetics of efficient feed utilization and national cattle evaluation: a review.

Genetics and molecular research : GMR - 30 Jun 2005

Crews D H Denny

Abstract excerpt

Selection for the wide range of traits for which most beef breed associations calculate expected progeny differences focus on increasing the outputs of the production system, thereby increasing the genetic potential of cattle for reproductive rates, weights, growth rates, and end-product yield. Feed costs, however, represent a large proportion of the variable cost of beef production and genetic improvement...
