Genetic Considerations for Beef Cattle Production in Challenging Environments
F.A. Thrift
Department of Animal and Food Sciences
Non-Technical Summary
If genetic variation for Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis, Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex and cattle ticks can be better quantified from Objective 1, this information could be utilized by beef producers to identify cattle genetic types that express resistance to these maladies with a subsequent increase in herd productivity being achieved at a lower cost.
