The Beef Podcast Show - #50 - Gut Physiology and Liver Abscess Innovations in Beef Production
Nov 08, 2023
The future of our planet depends on the intersection of scientific progress and innovative techniques within sustainable beef cattle production. Establishing sustainability in beef production necessitates the delicate balance between the genetic potential of the livestock and their nutritional conditions. In this episode, Dr. Phillip Lancaster explores methodologies to reduce the environmental impact of beef cattle production. Remarkably, he offers insights into his research on liver abscesses and the intricate mechanisms within the gastrointestinal system of cattle.
What you’ll learn:
- Research project on liver abscesses in feedlot
- Rumen condition in relation to liver abscess
- Exploring microbial adaptation in cannulated beef animals
- Computer simulation models for improving beef sustainability
- Geographic variability in cattle genetic and nutritional interactions
