Abstract
A method of managing and marketing a group of commercial animals, such as cattle, based on a predetermined genetic profile includes the steps of determining, prior to entry of an animal into a feedlot, a genotype of a subject animal with respect to genetic mark-ers for selected ones of at least the traits for growth; quality grade, yield grade, marbling, rib-eye muscle area, dressing percentage and meat tenderness, and feeding the animal utiliz-ing criteria based on the genotype of the animal. The animal is grouped with other animals into a subgroup having either a defined genotype, a similar animal economic value or a com-mon market endpoint, and the subgroup is assigned to a pen. The subgroup is managed, fed, slaughtered and marketed according to the genotypic profile for the subgroup.
The animal is fed each day a ration having a quality determined by using a biological model of potential growth based on the genotypic profile of the animal. Weight and breed data of the animal are gathered at entry into a feedlot, and are used along with the biological model to predict an amount of growth of muscle and fat tissue for each of a plurality of hypothetical rations fed for respective hypothetical periods of time. A net value of the animal is estimated using a bioeconomic model along with at least a cost of feed ration, predicted yield and quality, and corresponding market price. An optimal time to send the subgroup to slaughter is de-termined based on at least the net value estimated using the bioeconomic model. Subgroups having a genotype corresponding to an undesirable genotype are identified and are managed differently.

Claims (17)
1. A method of managing a group of animals comprising:
(a) determining the genotype of each animal in the group using one or more genetic markers for one or more traits selected from the group consisting of growth, quality grade, yield grade, marbling, rib-eye muscle area, dressing percentage, and meat tenderness;
(b) forming subgroups of animals according to the genotypes of the animals, wherein each animal in a subgroup has the same genetic markers; and (c) managing the animals based on the subgroups until the animals are slaughtered.
(a) determining the genotype of each animal in the group using one or more genetic markers for one or more traits selected from the group consisting of growth, quality grade, yield grade, marbling, rib-eye muscle area, dressing percentage, and meat tenderness;
(b) forming subgroups of animals according to the genotypes of the animals, wherein each animal in a subgroup has the same genetic markers; and (c) managing the animals based on the subgroups until the animals are slaughtered.
2. A method of managing a group of animals comprising:
(a) determining the genotype of each animal in the group using one or more genetic markers for one or more traits selected from the group consisting of growth, quality grade, yield grade, marbling, rib-eye muscle area, dressing percentage, and meat tenderness;
(b) predicting an economic value for an animal according to its genotype;
(c) forming subgroups of the animals according to the predicted economic value of the animals, the animals further possessing at least one of the traits; and (d) managing the animals based on the subgroups and/or economic value until the animals are slaughtered.
(a) determining the genotype of each animal in the group using one or more genetic markers for one or more traits selected from the group consisting of growth, quality grade, yield grade, marbling, rib-eye muscle area, dressing percentage, and meat tenderness;
(b) predicting an economic value for an animal according to its genotype;
(c) forming subgroups of the animals according to the predicted economic value of the animals, the animals further possessing at least one of the traits; and (d) managing the animals based on the subgroups and/or economic value until the animals are slaughtered.
3. The method of claims 1 or 2, further comprising predicting a hypothetical muscle growth rate and fat tissue accumulation rate based on the genotype of the animals in each of the subgroups.
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising gathering weight and breed data of each animal in each subgroup at entry into a feedlot, wherein the weight and breed data are used in predicting muscle growth rate and fat tissue accumulation.
5. The method of claim 2, further comprising predicting the economic value of the animals for each of a plurality of days the animals are fed a ration.
6. The method of claim 2, further comprising predicting the economic value of the subgroups, wherein the predicted value is calculated by summing economic values of each of the animals in a subgroup, the economic values of each animal predicted for each of a plurality of days the animals are fed a ration.
7. The method of claims 1 or 2, wherein the animals are cattle.
8. The method of claims 1 or 2, wherein the genotype of each animal is determined in step (a) prior to entry of the animal into a feedlot.
9. The method of claims 1 or 2, wherein the group of traits in step (a) further consist of meat toughness, slow growth, low meat marbling content, and high meat marbling content.
10. The method of claims 1 or 2, wherein in step (c) each subgroup is rationed feed on a daily basis according to the economic value of the animals in the subgroup.
11. The method of claims 1 or 2, further comprising the step of estimating a net value of the subgroup by using a bioeconomic model including a cost of fed ration, and predicted yield, quality, and market price.
12. The method of claim 11, further comprising the step of determining an optional time to send the subgroup to slaughter, based on at least the estimated net value of the subgroup using the bioeconomic model.
13. The method of claims 1 or 2, wherein in step (c) each subgroup is fed a ration over a plurality of days, wherein the ration and plurality of days is determined by the economic value of the subgroup.
14. The method of claims 1 or 2, wherein in step (c) animals in at least one subgroup are treated with a growth promoting implant or fed a ration with feed additives.
15. The method of claim 15, wherein the implant comprises a hormone.
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the additives are selected from the group consisting of Vitamin E, a growth promotant, and concentrated proteins.
17. The method of claims 1 or 2, wherein in step (c) animals in at least one subgroup are subjected post-slaughter to an electrical stimulation and/or a mechanical tenderization process.
