4 What is Efficiency?
5 Real World Examples Earned Run Average= # of EARNED runs allowed per nine innings Earned runs Innings pitched X ERA Who do you want on your team? 9.7 ERA
6 32.4 MPG Real World Examples Miles per Gallon= Distance traveled in a vehicle powered by one gallon of fuel Distance (miles) Consumed Fuel (gallons) What automobile to buy? 18.7 MPG
7 29.38% ROE Real World Examples Return on Equity = Efficiency (RoR) of a firm at generating profits from shareholder equity Net Income ($) Shareholder Equity ($) APPLE (AAPL) 37.89% ROE What company to invest in? MICROSOFT (MSFT)
8 What about the BEEF Industry? Which AUE is more EFFICIENT?
9 Why is it Important? Operational Industry Societal
10 Importance to Individual Operations Feed costs make up between 30%-50% of total costs for cow/calf operations (USDA ) and 75% of the total cost of beef production (Basarab et al., 2002)
11 Importance to the Beef Industry $ Per Cwt. 190 SLAUGHTER STEER PRICES Southern Plains, Weekly JAN APR JUL OCT Avg Data Source: USDA-AMS Livestock Marketing Information Center C-P-52 10/18/16
12 Importance to Society as a Whole
13
14 What about the BEEF Industry? Which AUE is more EFFICIENT?
15 Measuring Efficiency Maintenance Efficiency Production Efficiency
16 Maintenance Efficiency Primary relevance is to the cow-herd Targets females that can subsist on lowinputs and wean an acceptable calf
17 Production Efficiency Primary relevance is to post-weaning growth (i.e. finishing phase) Targets animals that consume less feed and produce maximum output (i.e. beef)
18 Traditional Methods of Measurement Feed to Gain (F:G)- Simply the amount of feed consumed (%DM) to result in one pound of weight gain. Ex. 6:1 (Lower value is better) Gain to Feed (G:F)- Simply the amount of weight gain achieved per unit of feed consumed (% DM). Ex..17 (Higher value is better)
19 Competing for Market Share Beef 6:1 Pork 3.4:1 Chicken 2:1 Fish 1.2:1
20 Traditional Methods of Measuring Feed Intake Metabolism Crate
21 Traditional Methods of Measuring Feed Intake PinPointer System
22 Traditional Methods of Measuring Feed Intake Calan Gate System
23 Newer Methods of Measuring Feed Intake Smart Feed Intake System
24 Methods of Measuring Animal Weight Stationary/Portable Chutes
25 Methods of Measuring Animal Weight Platform Scales
26 Methods of Measuring Animal Weight Walk-Over Scales
27 Efficiency w/out Weight Residual Feed Intake (RFI): is the difference between an individual animals actual feed intake and its predicted (Nem & Neg req.) intake compared to contemporaries. 30 Actual intake (lb) Animal #1 Actual = 25.3 lbs. Predicted = 22.4 Difference = +2.9 Animal #2 Actual = 18.7 lbs. Predicted = 22.9 Difference = Predicted intake (lb)
28
29 Efficiency w/out Intake Residual Average Daily Gain (R-ADG): is the difference between an individual animals actual weight gain and its predicted (Nem & Neg req., flesh) weight gain compared to contemporaries.
30 Summary Points Traditional metrics (F:G & G:F) are relatively easily and most commonly applied to pens or groups. Common methods to ascertain individual efficiency are: Very Labor intensive and expensive Lack socialization and normal behavior expression Requires training animals to utilize Newer methods are promising but still need more discussion RFI vs R-ADG or maybe both Index vs. actual value Counter intuitive (RFI) Selecting for GROWTH may not be the same as selecting for EFFICIENCY A 1% improvement in feed efficiency has the same economic impact as a 3% increase in rate of gain (Weaber, 2012).

57 As I look around at the strides that have been made in our research laboratories, as I look at the things undreamed of a few years ago the only degree to which we have reached the end of the road of opportunity is the degree to which we have exhausted the imaginative capacity of the human mind. - Lloyd Noble Jan. 22, 1948
