“…Breeding performance impacts the profitability of a cowherd, especially calf‐crop percentage and calf weaning weight (Gadberry et al, 2015). Calf‐crop percentage depends primarily on management during the breeding season, reproduction, and weaning weight (Rasby, 2015).…”

“…The supply of feeder calves, approximated in this study using state inventories of all beef cows, was shown to expand as reproductive efficiency increased. The reproductive efficiency of a cow‐calf herd is defined as the ratio of the total number of pounds of calf weaned to the number of cows exposed in the breeding season (Gadberry et al, 2015). This study used two widely defined breeding seasons: May–June (spring calving) and November–December (fall calving).…”

Extreme weather events can significantly affect beef cow production. For example, unfavorable weather conditions deteriorate pasture quality and reduce pasture growth, forcing livestock producers to use high‐cost alternative feedstuffs, which consequently increases production costs. Extreme weather may also reduce overall animal performance, including decreased feed gain efficiency, and breeding performance. By exploiting seasonal weather changes and using 67 years of state‐level beef cow inventories, we estimate the impact of weather on cow‐calf production throughout 25 states in the United States. Results suggest that the U.S. cow‐calf industry is sensitive to changes in seasonal temperature. Results of an out‐of‐sample prediction using rolling window assessments prove that adding seasonal weather information to the forecasting model improves the prediction accuracy of state‐level beef cow inventories. Investigating the effects of seasonal temperature and precipitation on cow‐calf production will enhance the management and future production planning. [EconLit Citations: Q11].

“…Tingginya prevalensi infeksi cacing nematoda gastrointestinal dalam penelitian ini mungkin disebabkan oleh umur sapi yang dijual di Pasar Hewan Beringkit untuk dijadikan sapi bibit berkisar antara 6 bulan -1.5 tahun, dimana umur menjadi salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas sistem kekebalan tubuh dalam melawan agen infeksi yang akan meningkat seiring dengan pertambahan umur ternak (Hendawy, 2018). Infeksi nematoda gastrointestinal paling tinggi terjadi pada sapi muda dibandingkan sapi dewasa karena pada sapi muda sistem kekebalan tubuhnya belum terbentuk dengan baik, sehingga mempermudah terjadinya infeksi (Gadberry et al, 2005;Pfukenyi & Mukaratirwa, 2013). Rentannya umur sapi muda terhadap infeksi cacing dibandingkan dengan sapi dewasa berkaitan dengan belum optimalnya fungsi sel-sel goblet dalam usus yang berperan menghambat perkembangan larva infektif parasit nematoda (Soulsby, 1982).…”

Calves infected with gastrointestinal nematodes can spread diseases to other livestock in a new environment, causing a decrease in quality, and financial losses for farmers. This study aims to determine the prevalence and intensity of infection, as well as the gastrointestinal nematodes infecting Bali cattle calves at the Beringkit Livestock Market, Badung Regency. The study used a floatation method to identify worm egg morphology and continued with the McMaster method to determine infection intensity. Out of 100 fecal samples examined, 65 samples were found positive for gastrointestinal nematode infection, resulting in a prevalence of 65% infection among Bali cattle calves at the Beringkit Livestock Market, Badung Regency. The identified nematodes were strongyle-type worms (64%) with an infection intensity of 203 ± 384 EPG, Strongyloides papillosus (10%) with an infection intensity of 100 ± 89 EPG, and Toxocara vitulorum (9%) with an infection intensity of 155 ± 287 EPG. It is concluded from this study that the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode infections in Bali cattle calves at the Beringkit Livestock Market, Badung Regency was high with infection intensity falling into the mild category. Regular and continuous deworming is necessary as a control and prevention measure for gastrointestinal nematode infections in Bali cattle calves.

The paper presents the analysis of existing technologies, technological processes and technological equipment, as well as the state of the organization of production of beef breeding in Russia. The adoption of the program “Development of beef breeding in Russia” allowed significant expansion of the production of beef by raising specialized beef cattle not only for the southern and southeastern regions of our country, but also in the rest of Russia. Nowadays, the geography of beef breeding has expanded significantly: it is being actively implemented in six of the eight federal districts. Thus in 2018, 74 constituent entities of the Russian Federation were selected for priority support of livestock breeding. The authors note that the successful economic development of the industry is primarily determined by the engineering and technical level and the technical and economic base of agricultural production, as well as the power availability and the degree of mechanization of production processes in general. However, during the period of economic reforms in Russia, there was a sharp drop in the level of comprehensive mechanization of beef farms. Thus, today the provision of machinery and equipment in this industry does not exceed 65% of the standards. It is necessary to note that the problem with special-purpose machinery and equipment for industrial technologies of fattening beef is one of the reasons for the technical and technological backwardness of this industry. During the design, construction and operation of feeding enterprises, it is obligatory to carry out a technical and economic analysis of various options for industrial feeding of livestock, since modern realities require producers to solve many important issues, such as qualitative definition of territories for the production of beef cattle in the Russian Federation.
