Understanding the Relationship Between Weather Variables, Dry Matter Intake, and Average Daily Gain of Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The current National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) dry matter intake (DMI) prediction models are inadequate for DMI prediction of beef cattle in the Northern Great Plains. Four studies were conducted ...
Supplemental Leucine in Milk Replacer Fed to Neonatal Calves and Lambs: Effects on Growth, Development, and Metabolism
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Maximizing growth during the neonatal period in preruminants can enhance long-term growth and productivity, increasing producer profits and input efficiency. Meeting the requirements for growth can be achieved through ...

(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The first study investigated American Aberdeen (AD) cattle's genetic structure and its genetic relationships with five American taurine beef breeds and the genetic population structure of a related admixed cattle herd for ...
Genetic Predictions Using Subjective Methods of Beef Cattle Temperament Evaluation, Genetic Association Between Beef Cattle Temperament and Production Traits, and Influence of Sire and Dam Temperament on Calf Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Beef cattle temperament is not only important to handler safety and animal welfare but also found to be related to productivity and thereby, considered an economically important trait. Constraints to improve cattle temperament ...
