ofbeefintheCommunity.Subsequently someoftheassumptions onwhich
itwasbasedhavebeenborneoutbytheVolatilityofthebeefmarketofrecent
years.Inparticulartheprogramme wasbasedonthepremisethattheprice
policywasaninsufficient mechanismtoimprovetheproductivity orperformance
oftheindustry.Alookattheentireprocessofbeefproduction wasnecessary,

Thebeefprogramme wasfromtheoutsetdividedintofivesub-programmes .
Theseweregeneticsandselection;physiology ,oftheproduction,nutritionandmanac
ement;pathology;andcarcassandmeatquality.

surgicalembryotransplanttechniques arewelladvancedandresultson

cattlebyincreasedpercentageofsuccesfulinseminations ,tw.innings

Closecollaboration withscientists outsidetheCommunity,notablyin
CanadaandAustralia haskepttheCommunityintheforefrontofthisresearch

c--Nutrition Management

dependenceoftheCommunity onimportedproteinconcentrates .Grass,
maize,silage,legumesandrootcropsareallimportantsourcesoffee^forbeef
production andtheirpotentialforreplacingexpensivecerealsandprotein
concentrates mustbeexplored.

-8-
Thework inthis part oftheprogramme isclosely linked with thework on
genetics .Itisalso clearly linked with work being carried onoutside
theCommunity -particularly bytheEuropean Association forAnimal Production .
Because ofthe strong international interest aseminar on"Maize asabasic
feed forbeef production "washeld inNovi Sad,Yugoslavia on22-25 June 1976
andused asastarting point for aprogramme onmaize nutrition of
ruminants inthe framework ofthe Committee ofSenior Officials inScience
andTechnology (COST ).
d.-Pathology
Thebiggest single loss factor forcattle producers iscalf mortality .There
isinsufficient knowledge ofeven themore common calf diseases andincreasingly
research ispointing totheneed tolook attheproblem ofdisease inyoung
animals asaspecial problem .Themechanisms oftransmission ofdisease from
damtoyoung ,theimmune mechanisms oftheyoung animal andtheepidemiology of
calf diseases with particular reference tothe impact ofstress andintensive
management systems ondisease incidence have been included asimportant 'subjects
forstudy inthecurrent programme .
e.-Carcass and Meat Quality
This part oftheprogramme isalready showing positive results .Thefirst
steps have been taken forstandardising thecriteria forassessing carcass and
meat quality onthebasis oftheEuropean Association ofAnimal Production
standards .These will provide abasis fortheCommission toestablish reference
criteria fortheassessment ofmeat andcarcass quality onthebeef market .
Afeature ofthecoordination inthis field was •training course held at
theMeat Research Institute atBristol from 17-21 January 1977 tointroduce
specialists from each member state totheresults oftheprogramme , Commission
hasalso arranged fortheproduction anddistribution ofaseries ofcolour slides
for astandard method ofcarcass dissection .
With such awide ranging programme internal coordination hasbeen reCoanised
tobemost important .
Thesections ongenetics ,nutrition .andmanagement ,andcarcass quality are
already closely linked ,landthis should bestrenghened with aseminar ,tobeheld in
Italy late in1978,which will aimtorelate theindividual parts oftheprogramme
topractical systems ofbeef production .

Likethebeefprogramme,withwhichitisassociated,thevtiderangeof

Theseare:methodsofanalysis;geneticsandradiogenetics ofthehigher

oflegumesandsymbioticfixation;rationalexploitation offoddergrasses
