Welcome to this month's installment of the 2022 ‘Virtual’ Nutrition Seminar Series hosted by the Centre for Nutrition Modelling of the Animal Biosciences Department. Each month in 2022, CNM will deliver seminars from a different lab within the Nutrition group, and share their exciting new research in a dynamic virtual manner. 

With the arrival of summer weather, ABSc GSC is back with the 3rd iteration of the Activity Challenge! This event will encourage everyone to get active this summer while building some healthy competition within the department! 

Estimating feed efficiency and emissions of mature beef cows on pasture faces technical challenges, with little information on the consistency of enteric emissions between the dry lot and pasture. This research examined relationships between feed efficiency, enteric methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2) of beef cows in the dry lot and pasture. The trial first monitored feed intake, CH4 and CO2 production, weight, and backfat depth every 28 days for 10 weeks in 64 pregnant multiparous beef cows in the dry lot. Post-calving, cows were randomly assigned to

Data-driven modelling with intelligent algorithms for the improvement of dairy breeding programs has been receiving in-creasing attention. In this thesis, dimensionality-reduction methods and machine learning (ML) algorithms were applied in two sets of traits within the dairy industry: conformation and fertility.
