Project aims to improve feed efficiency
During the recent American Hereford Association media event, we received an update on the National Program for Genetic Improvement of Feed Efficiency in Beef Cattle from Matt Spangler, assistant professor in animal science and Extension beef genetics specialist at the University of Nebraska –Lincoln.
The genetic improvement/feed efficiency program is multi-faceted project involving eight universities as well as USDA researchers. The goal is to “sustainably reduce feed resources required to produce beef via the rapid development and deployment of novel nutritional, genomic and genetic improvement technologies.”
Here’s our interview with Matt Spangler.
