Increasing food production for the growing human population off a constraining land base
will require greater efficiency of production. Genetic improvement of feed efficiency in cattle …

Cattle control body temperature in a narrow range over varying climatic conditions.
Endogenous body heat is generated by metabolism, digestion and activity. Radiation is the …

Seventy-six Angus steers chosen from breeding lines divergently selected for residual feed
intake (RFI) were studied to quantify the relationship between RFI and the daily rate of …

Abstract The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS), a mechanistic model
that predicts nutrient requirements and biological values of feeds for cattle, was modified for …

This edition presents a vision for a new cattle industry: an industry that will contribute to the
environment, to the welfare of cattle and to the provision of high-quality food for an …

Grazing livestock are an important source of food and income for millions of people
worldwide. Changes in mean climate and increasing climate variability are affecting …

This paper outlines typical terminology for modeling and highlights key historical and
forthcoming aspects of mathematical modeling. Mathematical models (MM) are mental …

Implications Improvement of nutrition efficiency in sheep and goats is more challenging than
for other species. Because of their nutritional and environmental adaptability, sheep and …

The aim was to conduct a weighted single‐step genome‐wide association study to detect
genomic regions and putative candidate genes related to residual feed intake, dry matter …

A meta-analysis was conducted to determine NE and net protein requirements of growing
bulls, steers, and heifers of Nellore purebred and Nellore× Bos taurus crossbreds. A …
