| Growth Path Impact |
| Results with direct industry benefit were ‘distilled’ from specific CRCII projects and delivered as integrated packages of information during the early years of CRCIII. The CRC’s ‘growth path’ results help beef producers in northern and southern Australia best target premium markets for high quality beef with better eating quality and/or marbling whilst maximising herd profitability. |
 On the (growth) path to profit - All sectors, the breeder, backgrounders, finishers and feedlots contribute to the economic production of a quality beef animal.This booklet examines the extensive research carried out in the area of growth paths of cattle. It looks at the effect of growth restrictions on pregnant and lactating cows as well as the impact on backgrounding, finishing and, finally, meat quality. It includes practical case studies, which demonstrate Beef CRC research in real situations. |
| Regional Combinations of Genetics and Management Practices |
| Results with direct industry benefit were ‘distilled’ from specific CRCII projects and delivered as integrated packages of information during the early years of CRCIII. The CRC’s ‘Regional Combinations’ results help southern Australian beef producers best target premium markets for high quality beef with better eating quality and/or marbling using different combinations of genetics for retail beef yield and marbling. |
