This report includes beef cattle research from Kansas State University focused on cattle management, reproduction, nutrition and meat science. Topics include forage quality and rangeland management, prescribed fire, feed intake and methane emissions, reproductive management, mineral and feed supplementation, alternative feed ingredients, cattle growth and health, and beef quality and consumer acceptance. Meat science studies also examine aging and freezing practices, discoloration and color stability, spoilage, degree of doneness, alpha-gal content and processed beef products.
