Objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Utilize<\/strong> the microbiome with genetic evaluations in order to allow producers early and accurate selection decisions for their breeding cattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve<\/strong> the accuracy of the feed efficiency and growth Expected Progeny Difference trait in livestock animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimize<\/strong> feed efficiency in beef production that will in turn reduce feed expenses for cattle producers and improve the environmental sustainability of beef production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
