... the breed and size of individual cattle affects their target "finished weight[, ]" when they are fat enough to go to slaughter.... A common mistake among many pasture-finishing programs is that they fail to account for size differences in their cattle finishing programs. They often want to slaughter all their calves by the end of the second growing season to avoid another winter of high feed costs. But larger-sized calves within the group will still be underfinished — they need more time. If they are slaughtered at the same time as the smaller-framed calves, their beef will be tough. 8, record 2, English, - finishing%20weight

Chaque année, avant la fermeture de la frontière, le Québec importait des milliers de paquets d'abeilles du sud des États-Unis. Depuis, un nombre beaucoup plus restreint nous provient exclusivement de l'Australie et de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Ces paquets servent à partir de nouvelles colonies, on les commande alors avec une reine. On les utilise parfois pour renforcer des colonies faibles, ils arrivent alors sans reine. Nous devons faire venir ces paquets pour les raisons suivantes : la production d'abeilles à partir des colonies existantes ne suffit pas aux besoins des apiculteurs; de plus, notre printemps tardif ne permet pas de produire de reines à temps pour une ponte hâtive, l'accouplement ne pouvant se faire avant la mi-mai. 3, record 3, French, - abeilles%20en%20paquet

The first step in developing a winter feeding program is to examine the feed balance. That is, how does supply and demand balance on an individual farm? What feedstuffs are in inventory or will be harvested, i. e. hay silage, corn stalk grazing, late-season grazing? Compare these supplies to feed requirements based on animal inventories. 3, record 4, English, - feed%20balance

Temperatures that cause freeze injury to winter wheat at different growth stages. Winter wheat rapidly loses hardiness during spring growth and is easily injured by late freezes.... Late freezing usually injures only certain parts of the wheat head and rarely kills the whole plant, plants may continue to absorb nitrate from the soil but do not have any developing grain to utilize the nitrogen. Nitrate might accumulate under those conditions and poison livestock unless the feed is diluted with adequate quantities of low-nitrate feed. 2, record 5, English, - late%20frost

The faba bean(Vicia faba minor) is an ancient, cultivated, small-seeded relative of the garden broadbean(V. faba major). It is thought to have originated in west or central Asia. The faba bean is grown mainly in Europe where it is primarily used as a livestock feed, however, it is an important winter crop for human consumption in the Middle East. 4, record 6, English, - faba%20bean

La féverole (Vicia faba) est une légumineuse qui présente une assez grande variabilité morphologique (poids, forme, coloration de la graine, etc.). D'après la grosseur de la graine, on distingue classiquement trois sous-espèces : la féverole à petits grains (Vicia faba minor), la féverole à grains moyens (V. faba equina) et la féverole à gros grains, ou fève (V. faba major). 5, record 6, French, - f%C3%A9verole%20%C3%A0%20petits%20grains

During energy-demanding periods of the annual cycle such as migration or during cold days in winter, birds store fat comprised mostly of 16-or 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acids. In such situations, birds may feed selectively on foods with specific fatty acids that enable efficient fat deposition....

Peroxisomes contain enzymes that are necessary for cellular metabolism such as the beta-oxidation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Deficiency in these enzymes results in the accumulation of saturated VLCFA in tissues throughout the body, such as the plasma, red blood cells, and cultured skin fibroblasts. High levels of long chain saturated fatty acids occur, specifically hexacosanoic acid (C26:0), along with an increased C26:C24 and C26:C22 ratio. 4, record 7, English, - long%2Dchain%20saturated%20fatty%20acid
