Maritime Beef Test Station

A desire to have a testing stat- tion for beef cattle set-up in the Maritime Provinces, possibly at Nappan, N.S., was voiced here yesterday at a meeting of beef! cattle producers who are in- terested in official ROP (re- cord of performance) method of testing. The motion was moved by Mr. Justice R. R. Bell who! is one of the province’s large-| scale beef cattle producers. | The ROP testing measures the | efficiency of ‘sires in terms of average daily rate of gain in weight, and their ability to transmit that desirable trait to their calves. Females are also tested. . * “Doug Baird, chief of the ‘pro. duction and marketing branch, | Canada department of agricult- ure, Ottawa, gave one really) good reason for testing the ef- |

ficiency of the beef cattle the farmer produces. The price re- ceived for beef cattle now is 15 to 20 per cent below what it was 15 years ago, he said, and that | is one really solid reason why) producers should emphasize the efficiency of the cattle they pro- duce, he observed. .

Other speakers were Don Nich- olson, associate of Mr. Baird, | Ottawa: Stewart Eagles, live-| stock officer, Canada depart ment of agriculture, Moncton, N.B.:*David Peacock, provincial livestock director who presided, | and Dr. H. H. Kelly, director of | veterinary services for the prov: | {nce. The meeting was held in) Birch Court.

of beef cattle. In one example) their herds. quoted it worked out to a dif-' Primarily designed for bulls, ference that amounted to a mar- originally it measured their

gin of $56 on a beef carcass. The lower one-third of the herd gained weight at an average of one-third of a pound less per day of age, than did the top half, and that is how the above figure was arrived at.

There were 1,315,000 choice and good cattle (the two top grades) produced in Canada last year. Applying the form- ula to that number, Mr. Baird suggested the raising of the ef- ficiency of these animals the lower one third by that margin would have put something like $15 million more into the poc- kets of Canadian beef produc- ers.

The ROP testing program for beef cattle was designed with the purebred breeder in mind, but it is evolving—it is only 10 years old—to meet the needs of breeders across the nation.

Dr. H. H. Kelly suggested yes- terday afternoon, for example, that it should measure the re- sults of cross breeding _ beef bulls on, Holstein or other dairy cows, such as is done in this province by some dairy produc. ers.

APPROVAL GIVEN

Approval in principle was voiced by Mr. Baird who ex- plained the desire of the ROP beef program is to produce test-

average daily gain in pounds — the program has been extended to measure the efficiency of the progeny. Groups of 10 steers are tested, for example, to mea- sure the sire’s ability to trans- mit a rapid rate of gain in his | progeny.

Dairy cattle are tested for pro- duction of milk and butterfat now by ROP. The idea here is to provide some reliable meas- ure of efficiency that purchas- ers of beef bulls or of cows— females will be measured too as the program develops—could use to guide their selection of the best available foundation stock. WIDE VARIATION

ROP test figures: show there is a wide variation in the aver- age gain in weight per day of |age among bulls tested. There's also a marked difference in the efficiency of the animals, in so far as their ability to produce a pound of beef“economically is ;concerned. These are the sort of things that can be measured by the testing program sought by Island breeders who: attend- ed vesterday's meeting.

There are several programs |available and efforts will be made to meet the problem of small herds like those on the Is- land. Details are available from Harold C.
