Abstract

Findings from this study indicated that implementation of the 2 most intensive certified health programs consistently increased the price of beef calves, and these price premiums increased over time.

Application and Implementation of Selective Tissue Microdissection and Proteomic Profiling in Neurological Disease

“…The plethora of bioinformatic techniques, together with other research areas, is generating terabytes of information, and the amount of biological data being generated is growing exponentially. Hence, the development of data mining technologies and software for proteomic data analyses requires the joint efforts of academic and clinical researchers with specialists in bioinformatics, mathematics, and statistics (6, 46, 67). …”

Effect of management, marketing, and certified health programs on the sale price of beef calves sold through a livestock video auction service from 1995 through 2009

“…1 Additional factors that significantly influenced sale price were variation in body weight within calf lots (12 years), flesh score of calves within a lot (9 years), number of days between sale and delivery dates (11 years), and frame score of calves within a lot (7 years). 1 Additional factors that significantly influenced sale price were variation in body weight within calf lots (12 years), flesh score of calves within a lot (9 years), number of days between sale and delivery dates (11 years), and frame score of calves within a lot (7 years).…”

“…1 One noteworthy difference between video auctions and traditional auctions is that optimum lot size is larger at video auctions because of the inability of buyers to pool video auction lots for shipments and their desire to match lot size with that specified by feedlots. Analysis of the data for the study reported here revealed that producers have consistently enhanced the market price of their calves by selling crossbred steer calves with a medium or large frame in large lots with uniformity of quality, weight, and breed within the lots.…”
