Research shared at Kansas State University’s 113th Cattlemen’s Day showed cows that shed earlier can wean calves more than 40 ...

Replacement heifer selection has always shaped herd direction. Today, genomic tools are reshaping how confidently those decisions are made.

With the big concern today (whether valid or not) and the movement to reduce methane gas production and other greenhouse gases as a way to combat so-called climate change, a lot of attention has been ...

A University of Queensland analysis of genetic data from northern Australian cattle has identified key regions of the genome that influence traits like fertility, growth and body condition, sometimes ...

Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how optimized genomic prediction models can reliably forecast flowering time, yield ...

Improving fertility in cows involves leveraging genetic selection and advanced genomic tools to enhance reproductive performance. But genetic potential is only half the battle. Environment is the ...

Maize is a globally cultivated staple crop and one of the most successful examples of heterosis utilization in food production. The development of elite inbred lines is critical for breeding hybrid ...

Works of speculative fiction, especially as portrayed in movies, often highlight the spectacular potentials of technology for good and for ill. While technology’s benefits typically provide ...
