Hereford sired pigs displayed no seasonal effects on growth performance. Breed had no effect on any of the meat quality traits. However, season had an effect on pH (p < 0.001) and lightness (L*) (p < 0.01). When analyzing carcass traits, fall seasons were characterized by thicker back ...
Interesting rare operas have come from the Wexford Festival, including Pacini's Saffo (Sappho), Mercadante's Elena da Feltre and Meyerbeer's romantic L'étoile du nord (The Star of the North). There has also been an opportunity to hear the work of a number of contemporary Irish composers...
Berkshire sows raised outdoors were artificially inseminated with semen from either Berkshire, Hereford, or Tamworth boars and housed in individual units prior to farrowing. The piglets were weaned at 4 weeks and raised in a hoop structure where they were weighed every 4 weeks. Once they reached...
All experiments were conducted at the Oklahoma State University North Range unit using Angus and Angus X Hereford cows and crossbred steers. All experimental diets were fed as a protein supplement containing at least 38% crude protein and: 10 g/head/d of Bio-Mos, 200 mg/head/d of monensin...
Breeding values were estimated for North America (NA), URU and joint data from NA and URU (JT). Direct (maternal) heritability estimates were 0.24 (0.16), 0.20 (0.16) and 0.23 (0.18) for US, Canada and Uruguay, respectively. Covariance between direct and maternal was negative in all ...
Source; areas for the Galice Formation included active Jurassic arcs, older Klamath terranes, and the North American craton.; The Early Jurassic Iron Mountain unit of the Ingalls ophiolite complex originated as a seamount in close proximity to an oceanic spreading ridge. The Late Jurassic Esmeralda...
Charolais, Simmental, Limousin, Hereford and Angus breeds and their crosses are compared using trait estimates derived from four major breed comparison experiments in North America. Economic weights are also calculated for the traits of these breeds and their crosses. Rankings of breeds and the ...
