Abstract:Context It is desirable to identify cows that produce higher weaning weights while consuming less feed in order to increase biological efficiency; however, there is no universally accepted metric for cow–calf efficiency. Aim Due to the common usage of ratios to express biological cow efficiency, despite their theoretical defects, these measures and alternatives to them were examined to understand better some of the complexities in improving cow efficiency. Methods The analyses were carried out us… Show more
