Abstrakt: The article explores the biological relationships between fed cattle performance and pulmonary hypertension by evaluating the phenotypic relationships of feedlot efficiency traits, carcass traits, and pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). Topics discussed include daily and total gain, dry matter intake, and feed to gain ratio. Also mentioned are feedlot heart disease, heart scores, and hot carcass weight.
