| molecular value predictions: associations with beef quality, carcass, production, behavior, and efficiency phenotypes in brahman cattle. | data from 2 previously published experiments, new south wales (nsw; n = 161) and western australia (wa; n = 135), were used to test molecular value predictions (mvp), generated from commercially available gene markers, on economically important traits of bos indicus (brahman) cattle. favorable tenderness mvp scores were associated with reduced shear force values of strip loin (lm) steaks aged 7 d from achilles-hung carcasses (p ≤ 0.06), as well as steaks aged 1 (p ≤ 0.08) or 7 d (p ≤ 0.07) from ... | 2013 | 24126277 |
| prevalence of stephanofilariasis in young bos indicus cattle in northern australia. | four consecutive annual calf crops of known genotype from a single property in northern australia were examined for the presence of stephanofilarial lesions. the animals ranged in age from 60 to 348 days at the time of examination. initial lesions of stephanofilariasis developed adjacent to the medial canthi of the eyes; animals as young as 69 days of age were found infected. in all years, prevalence of lesions increased with age for all genotypes, and was significantly lower in genotypes with h ... | 1988 | 3201708 |
| epidemiology and control of anaplasmosis in australia. | anaplasmosis occurs in those areas of northern and eastern australia infested by the cattle tick boophilus microplus but it has been studied intensively only in queensland. anaplasmosis is predominantly a disease of autumn and winter and of cattle greater than 1 year of age. the complement fixation test has been used in serological surveys of the tick-infested areas of the state. both clinical and subclinical infections occur only in tick-infested areas and they are both more frequent in bos tau ... | 1979 | 553977 |
