Jessica Petersen (center), associate professor of animal science, and graduate students Mackenzie Batt (left) and Lauren Seier (right) are part of a five-person Husker team whose research can expand the range of genetic tools used by breeders to boost cattle growth efficiency. An increase in feed efficiency of just 1% would save the U.S. cattle sector more than $11 million a year. (Photo by Craig Chandler, University Communication and Marketing.)
