R&D Solutions for Beef Cattle
Beef production is the most important agricultural industry in the United States and consistently accounts for the largest share of total cash receipts from agricultural commodities. Beef contains high levels of amino acids and protein, making it an essential meat in the modern diet. The main challenges facing modern beef production include its relatively large contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions and its relatively poor economic returns to producers. Therefore, genetic improvement of beef cattle through emerging molecular breeding technologies is the key to improving herd profitability and sustainable beef production. BioVenic not only focuses on beef cattle health and nutrition, but also helps our customers to produce more calves from elite young female cattle ensure cattle health, and shorten the genetic interval while breeding.
