- Effects of Growth Curve Parameters on Cow Efficiency
Key Words: Retinta, Growth Curves, Reproductive Efficiency Introduction The long series of weights recorded during the entire lifespan of the cow is difficult to interpret... Station Director, Tim Stidham OKLAHOMA BEEF,INC.Oklahoma State University 201.
- SOME ALTERNATIVES TO CALVING DATE AND INTERVAL AS MEASURES OF
These results suggest that CI can be slightly improved by selecting for ACIl or APAIR.Calving date is an efficient measure of reproduction because it is more heritable and repeatable than calving interval and, with a long breeding season, has no.
- Trait selection for assessing beef meat quality using non-linear SVM
This is not a straightforward task; the reason is that when we are aiming to induce a function that maps object descriptions into ratings, we must consider that consumers ratings are just a way to express their preferences about the products presented in.
- A Kernel Based Method for Discovering Market Segments in Beef Meat
In this paper we propose a method for learning the reasons why groups of consumers prefer some food products instead of space; there we are able to define a kernel based similarity function that allows a clustering algorithm to discover significant.
- Genetic analysis of days open in beef cattle
Introduction In dairy cattle, breeders pay a great deal of attention to days from calving to conception, also called days open (DO), because despite its low heritability, this trait seems to be clearly related to the cow s reproductive performance and.
