- [00:00:07.260]Beef production is a powerful economic engine
- [00:00:10.110]for Nebraska, from border to border, across the state.
- [00:00:14.220]And Nebraska Extension is helping keep that engine firing
- [00:00:17.790]on all cylinders.
- [00:00:19.680]Backed by university research and resources,
- [00:00:22.680]Nebraska Extension partners with cow-calf producers,
- [00:00:26.490]backgrounding operations, feed lots, and processors
- [00:00:31.020]to deliver game-changing research findings
- [00:00:33.480]directly to Nebraska producers
- [00:00:36.060]to build and sustain a robust Nebraska beef industry
- [00:00:39.900]that consistently produces high-quality beef,
- [00:00:43.020]safely, responsibly, and profitably.
- [00:00:47.730]Nebraska Extension works shoulder-to-shoulder
- [00:00:50.550]with Nebraska's beef industry
- [00:00:52.500]to define relevant research that addresses issues
- [00:00:55.590]and opportunities critical to its future,
- [00:00:58.440]identifying incremental changes in genetics
- [00:01:01.230]that can lead to even healthier, more productive animals,
- [00:01:05.040]cattle that can adapt to changing conditions
- [00:01:07.470]with less stress,
- [00:01:09.270]researching the latest in disease prevention and treatment,
- [00:01:12.930]and working to increase female reproductive efficiency,
- [00:01:16.410]and produce thriving calves.
- [00:01:18.780]Remote sensing that allows ranchers
- [00:01:21.000]to monitor the health of their animals,
- [00:01:23.250]even when they're spread across thousands of acres
- [00:01:25.830]in the Sandhills,
- [00:01:27.450]how to best manage Nebraska's precious grasslands,
- [00:01:31.260]and more efficiently transform plants into protein,
- [00:01:35.370]finding ways cattle producers and corn farmers
- [00:01:38.340]can work together to incorporate cover crops
- [00:01:41.370]and crop residue into their operations for optimal results.
- [00:01:45.990]Using digital technology
- [00:01:47.640]to better manage animal health and wellbeing,
- [00:01:50.730]to better understand grazing behavior
- [00:01:53.340]and how cattle interact with each other within the herd.
- [00:01:57.270]Groundbreaking research on the nutritional value
- [00:01:59.970]of distillers grains that has helped Nebraska
- [00:02:02.610]become a national leader in both ethanol production
- [00:02:05.700]and beef finishing,
- [00:02:07.530]even creating innovative new cuts of beef
- [00:02:10.230]that help improve profitability
- [00:02:12.270]for both producers and processors,
- [00:02:15.270]and provide affordable, nutritious choices for consumers.
- [00:02:19.680]On top of all this,
- [00:02:21.120]Nebraska Extension is leading a unique coalition
- [00:02:24.420]of beef producers, food companies,
- [00:02:26.970]meat packers, environmental advocates, and consumers
- [00:02:31.050]to meet the grand challenge of ensuring that beef production
- [00:02:34.230]is sustainable economically,
- [00:02:36.540]responsible in terms of animal care and welfare,
- [00:02:40.230]and has a positive effect on the environment,
- [00:02:42.990]the economy, and human nutrition.
- [00:02:45.782](gentle music)
- [00:02:48.900]Nebraska Extension also contributes
- [00:02:51.690]to the state's diversity in animal agriculture,
- [00:02:55.080]including pork, dairy,
- [00:02:59.460]and Nebraska's fast-growing poultry industry.
- [00:03:03.270]Bottom line, Nebraska Extension works
- [00:03:06.210]with Nebraska's livestock sector,
- [00:03:08.430]to ensure that animal agriculture in Nebraska
- [00:03:11.400]is responsible, successful, and sustainable,
- [00:03:15.150]both economically and environmentally.
- [00:03:18.270]Further proof that nobody, nobody,
- [00:03:21.600]connects with the people of Nebraska
- [00:03:23.790]like the people of Nebraska Extension.
