Abstract: To align with SDG 12, emphasizing responsible consumption and production, it has become imperative for the global beef cattle industry to engage in sustainable production. One of the substantial challenges for future beef production is the increasing competition for resources between animal feed and human food. Moreover, there is a pressing need to address the impact of climate change, given that beef cattle production is a major contributor to methane gas emissions.
