Utilization Of Beta-Agonists On The Effects Of Marbling / Fat Deposition In Beef Cattle, Rafael Andrade, Sara Erby, Blaine Holzman

ATU Scholars Symposium

In the beef industry, producers have tried to find ways to optimize production and performance for the benefit of their beef cattle operations. To do that, if they wished to, they would use modernizing technologies that are available today. With these modern technologies, such as Beta – androgenic agonists, producers have been able to utilize these to see the positive effects of marbling and fat deposition. They act to enhance lean muscle gain, increase growth rate in the animals, and increase feed efficiency without having to use extra inputs, needed supplements, or compensation for gain. By using these technologies, they …

Avian Influenza In The United States And It's Ramifications On Our Market In The Poultry Industry, Alaini C. Carrington, Jada Trotter, Savannah Sanders

While researching Avian Influenza (AI) in the United States, we have found that it has significantly impacted 47 states. Four main AI types have an impact on poultry farms. Avian Influenza can be reduced by taking preventative methods such as biosecurity and culling birds to have a healthy flock on the farm. Since 2022 egg-laying hens have been affected by the Avian Influenza Virus, causing egg inventories to become lower. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has affected farmers tremendously; because of this, farmers must worry about their families' source of income, their workers and the workers' families' source of income, …

Benefits Of Growth Hormone Implants In Beef Cattle, Brody Jones, Jaxsen Franco, Riley Knight

ATU Scholars Symposium

Using growth hormone implants in beef cattle producers could combat the decreasing market supply that is currently being experienced in the United States (US).
