Beef cattle

of carcass is essential. These factors include genetics, gender of cattle, natural growth patterns, as well as manipulation of cattle diets in their feed. Growth Patterns The growth of carcass is made up mainly of protein and fat. As cattle is approaching mature weight, the gain of carcass makes up a higher percentage of the total gain. This makes the percentage of dressing increases day by day on feed. Although long fed cattle typically reduced the performance, adjusting the performance for…

Cattle slaughter is the killing of nonhuman animals also referred as killing domestic livestock. The animals are generally killed for food; however, they might also be killed for other reasons such as being diseased or unsuitable times for families to feed it. The animals most commonly slaughtered for food in India are cattle and water buffalo for beef and goats for goat meat and mutton, pigs for pork and ham, horses for horse meat, chickens and ducks, and increasingly, fish farming in the…

BSE Veterinary Management Decision Making Process A recent increase in cattle infections has caused BSE Veterinary to run more laboratory tests. Management has decided that using the rational decision making model aids in finding the purposeful result. They will come together in a focus group, so many different alternatives can be discussed. The Rational Model The rational model consists of five phases (Pre-analysis, Analytic, design, choice, and implementation). These phases are critical for…

Nolan Riley Mrs. Heilman CP English 11 24 May 2017 What is the Beef with Factory Farming? When you think of a farm, do you think of a small family owned farm with a few cattle out in a pasture or do you think of a large factory style building with cattle shoulder to shoulder on a hard cement floor? Throughout America, Factory Farms are becoming more and more popular every day. A factory farm is the condensing of farm animals, usually chickens, pigs and cows, into a very small area (“Factory…

The making and absorption of carbon dioxide by the environment happen naturally on earth. However, the recent extremely high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be blamed on human activity (EPA 9). In the UK alone, they produced 655 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2005 (Gill, Smith, and Wilkinson 3). This fact is especially staggering when you realize that because it is gas, it takes a lot more of it to make a ton than something like wood or iron would. The countries of the world…

Introduction Weaning typically consists of separation of dam and offspring, no more milk for the calf, and a transition to a more solid diet. This time is often quite stressful for the calf because all they know up to this point is their mother, they have not yet lived on their own or eaten a diet consisting of anything but milk. The purpose of this study was to determine if fence line weaning helped to reduce negative impacts on behavior and growth. One study done in 1997 showed that fence line…

animals. This essay shows how the selective breeding method and transgenesis method are carried out on the Belgian Blue Cattle and the Spidergoat. Selective Breeding in Belgian Blue Cattle Selective Breeding is a process where individuals who have desirable traits are selected by breeders to mate and produce offspring who also have the desirable trait.(1) In Belgian Blue cattle, the trait that breeders are wanting to select for is Muscular Hypertrophy or “Double Muscling” which is a recessive…

Another Cow of the Future project I decided the Baroness should not fund was title “Increasing Milk and Meat Production in Cattle through Biovine Growth”, by Priya, Cara, Riya, and Chelsea. This group is seeking to increase biovine growth hormone (BGH) levels in cows as an attempt to increase milk and meat production by cattle. The project aims to spray recombinant E. coli on cattle feed so that it would be integrated into the digestive track of the cows and release into their bloodstream.…
