Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationship between Volumetric Water Footprint with Carcass and Meat Quality Characteristics Under Intensive Beef Cattle Production in South AfricaTinny Noluthando Macamba, Takalani Judas Mpofu, Khathutshelo Agree Nephawe et al.As water accessibility becomes more challenging due to the increasing human population and agricultural competition, it is crucial to select beef cattle with optimal water efficiency. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between volumetric water footprint with carcass and meat quality of beef cattle under an intensive production system. Thirty-three (33) beef cattle weaners of three different body frame … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Oct 2024 · 4,728 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of Early Weaning on Performance, Health Parameters, and Carcass Traits of Bonsmara Bull Calves Under Feedlot ConditionsKgotso Patrick Matli, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Pieter FourieA feedlot is an intensive farming system used for finishing livestock. This study analyzed the performance, health, and carcass traits of Early-Weaned Calves (EWC) and Traditionally-Weaned Calves (TWC). A total of 285 Bonsmara bull calves were grouped into two weaning strategies, with 136 EWC (255±27.30 kg) and 149 TWC (308±24.60 kg). Backgrounding was followed by a finishing phase, with a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 14 Aug 2026 · 1,233 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPostnatal Muscle Growth and Allometry in Anatomical Regions of Russian Black-Pied Heifers and their Crosses With Hereford and Charolais Under Intensive RearingIvan Petrovich Prokhorov, Grigorii Sergeyevich Shekhovtsev, Yulia Vasilevna ShoshinaCrossbreeding dairy cattle with specialized beef breeds is an effective strategy to increase beef production, yet data on muscle growth patterns in crossbred heifers remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the growth intensity and redistribution of muscle mass in anatomical regions of carcasses in Russian Black-Pied heifers and their crosses with Hereford and Charolais breeds. A scientific experiment was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2026 · 920 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeat Productivity of Hereford Breed Calves with the Carbohydrate Complex DietIrina Mironova, Vladislav Beresnev, Hamit Tagirov et al.In current conditions, we are increasing beef production, including through the organization of full-fledged feeding of growing young animals. The literature analysis indicates that the science of feeding contains a large set of experimental and practical data on the effect of feeding on the productivity of livestock. However, the questions about the influence of various types of feed additives on … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2021 · 6,192 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBeef Productivity of Limousine Cattle at Stable KeepingIrina Vlasova, Inna Ventsova, Alexander Vostroilov et al.The regularities of the post-embryonic development of farm animals have been studied by numerous researchers. Their ontogenesis is a result of the complex interaction of animal genotype with those conditions of the external environment in which their hereditary basis is realized. In Russia, the stable keeping system of the cattle is highly relevant as many farms do not have large … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2020 · 6,762 accessesView PDF Cite
