Dr. Glenn Duff: Solutions in Beef Industry | Ep. 20


Listen Later

The lack of water availability from the Ogallala Aquifer, particularly in the portion that goes down the Texas Panhandle and the southern part of New Mexico, has been leading to certain limitations for the beef production systems in the region. With that in mind, looking for forage alternatives that could thrive with lower water availability is one of the main research goals of Dr. Glenn Duff’s program, as he is searching for certain breeds of cattle with better adaptability for such an environment. In this episode, Dr. Duff explains some details of those two alternatives. Also, he goes into the topic of receiving cattle: from metaphylaxis, as well as the importance and implications of beef and dairy crosses along with their relation to liver abscesses, to other health issues. 


“There are a lot of things we can do – but not a lot of places doing calf research.” – Dr. Glenn Duff
