Better biology approaches to bolster beef production
Genomics and other omics tools in biological science — such as phenomics, microbiomics, proteomics — involve the study of the appearance, structure and behaviour of animals, their microbiomes and cell proteins. Researchers have made tremendous progress in these areas over the past decade, and they can now use these advanced tools for extensive livestock production, he said. The beef cattle industry is tremendously important in the West, with Saskatchewan and Alberta accounting for 70 per cent of Canada’s beef production, Adams said. Consequently, even incrementa...
