Indonesian feedlot performance comparison of Brahman and F1 Senepol steers

This study was conducted to compare the performance of F1 Senepol x Brahman steers (F1 Senepol) to that of Brahman steers in an Indonesian feedlot. The impetus for the work was to address concerns that crossbred cattle are discriminated against by live export cattle buyers due to a perception that they do not perform as well as Brahmans in Indonesian feedlots. As this study found that that F1 Senepol steers actually performed better than Brahmans in an Indonesian feedlot, the results should allow live export cattle buyers to purchase these types of animals (Brahman crossed with a tropically adapted Bos taurus breed) with confidence that Indonesian feedlotters will be happy with their performance. - AbstractMade available by the Northern Territory Library via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).Abstract -- Executive summary -- Background -- Project objectives -- Methodology -- Results/discussion -- Conclusion -- Acknowledgement -- Bibliography -- AppendixLogos for "Northern Territory Government", "LiveCorp" and "Meat & Livestock Australia" on cover page
