Welcome to this week's newsletterEditorial: Canada Looks Set for Strong 2012
We have 5 new features this week: Why the Cattle Industry Needs to Up Feed Efficiency The cattle industry must start to select for feed efficiency, said Dan Shike from the University of Illinois at the Cattlemen's College Feed Efficiency forum during the 2012 NCBA Convention. Charlotte Johnston, TheCattleSite editor reports. 2012 Holds a Mixed Bag for Cattle Feeders Feeding cattle had its high and low points of profitability last year, writes Shane Ellis, University of Illinois. Prevent Hardware Disease in Cattle Inverted tires can make great containers to hold cattle feed and water, but tires also can pose health risks for the animals if the tires aren’t maintained regularly. NZ Beef Mid Season Update 2011-12 Beef exports are likely to increase in 2012, whilst excellent seasonal conditions will push cattle weights higher. Farmgate prices are not likely to change much, according to the Beef and Lamb NZ Mid Season Update. Reducing Residues in Livestock Products "As far as I am concerned, drug residues in animal products is a black and white issue," said Dr Mike Apley, Professor at Kansas College of Veterinary Medicine, when addressing the Dairy Producer Forum at the NCBA Trade Show and Convention earlier this month. Charlotte Johnston, TheCattleSite editor reports. ![]()
