What is #TheAgriSciencer? We take the most relevant scientific research articles and remove the science jargon to create summaries that get the key messages out for industry. 👉 agrisciencer.com


Mating 15-mo heifers by AB & keeping their heifer calves is a method to increase genetic gain. This summary is looking at stayability (remaining in the herd, similar to survival) and calving pattern of heifers born from young (2yo) or older (3yo +) dams agrisciencer.com/post/stayabili…


An interest of dairy farmers is the production and health of the cow. For beef producers, purchasing calves that have good growth and finishing traits is important. There is a need for identifying what makes a good beef bull for use over a dairy cow. agrisciencer.com/post/using-bee…
