The beef industry relies on multiple focused segments (eg, cow-calf, stocker/feeder, and
meat packing) to supply the world with beef. Thus, the potential impact of developmental …

Understanding the impacts of nutrition on reproductive physiology in cattle are fundamental
to improve reproductive efficiency for animals under different nutritional conditions. Starting …

The aim was to examine the effect of rapid body weight gain during early calfhood consistent
with earlier sexual development on the transcriptional profile of the hypothalamus. Angus X …

Simple Summary The nutrient intake of a cow during the early stages of pregnancy can have
detrimental effects on the developing fetus. The adaptive response of the fetus to the …

The establishment of pregnancy early in the breeding season is critical for lifetime
production and longevity of a female in a beef herd. More specifically, a beef heifer should …

The use of urease inhibitors in irrigated systems decreases both soil ammonium (NH4+) and
nitrate (NO3−) availability, and, thus, could be an easy tool to reduce N loss due to ammonia …
