Pre-weaning survival

From BIF Guidelines Wiki
This is the approved revision of this page, as well as being the most recent.

BIF currently has no guidelines for the collection and analysis of pre-weaning survival data in US beef cattle. These Guidelines do provide recommendations for pre-weaning disposal codes and many organizations do collect these data.

While work has been performed in the US and other countries, future investment in research on the genetics of pre-weaning survival and additional guidelines development would be essential before predictions of genetic merit can be made available. Below are links to examples of the efforts from other countries.
