Rumen Volatile Fatty Acid and Gains of Record-of-Performance Bulls

P. A. Putnam1, K. Bovard2, B. M. Priode3 and R. Lehmann4

U. S. Department of Agriculture

Abstract

The regression of ruminal volatile fatty acid concentration values upon the average daily gains of 63 record-of-performance bulls accounted for a significant amount of variation in average daily gain. However, only 11 to 14% of the total variation in average daily gain was due to this relationship.
