The biology of puberty

TL;DR: The objective of this review was to develop a broader, more biological, overview of puberty, as opposed to the more limited, laboratory‐dominated, view that has emanated from experimental physiology.

Challenges and opportunities of livestock marketing in Ethiopia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the assessment of the opportunities and challenges of livestock marketing in Ethiopia with emphasis on exports, focusing on lowland cattle breed, sheep, goats and camels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic effects on acute phase protein response to the stresses of weaning and transportation in beef calves.

TL;DR: In general, plasma acute phase protein concentrations in weaned calves increased with sampling time, and data imply that acute phaseprotein concentrations in response to weaning and transportation are impacted by cattle breed.

Germplasm evaluation in beef cattle-cycle IV : Birth and weaning traits

TL;DR: Effects of sire breed of calf were significant for gestation length, unassisted calving percentage, birth weight, and 200-d weaning weight, except for Shorthorn and Salers sires, which required low assistance relative to their heavy birth weights.

Características de carcaça de bovinos de corte inteiros ou castrados de diferentes composições aciais Charolês x Nelore

TL;DR: The carcass characteristics from young bulls or steers from different breed compositions of Charolais x Nellore were the objective of this study and no interaction was observed between breed composition and sexual condition, for any of the studied variables.

Crossbreeding in Beef Cattle: Evaluation of Systems

TL;DR: Results based on both experimentation and computer simulation indicate that differences in additive genetic merit of breeds for specific characters can be used in specific crossbreeding systems to synchronize genetic resources with other production resources and to provide for complementarity through terminal sire breeds.
