Course: Livestock Production Management (18301-II) > Section: Raising and Managing Livestock

Completion should address forms for all species and include

- defining terms used in production records (e.g., birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, average daily gain [ADG], feed conversion)
- computing production weight standards (e.g., 205-day weight, 365-day weight, ADG)
- using spreadsheet programs to record and calculate production records.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are some consequences of failure to complete production record forms?
- How can production weight records help the livestock manager?
- Why is it important to know the expected progeny differences (EPDs) of livestock?
