Welcome to the University of Nebraska Agricultural Research Division (ARD). The Agricultural Research Division is the major research agency of the University of Nebraska's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and is Nebraska's Agricultural Experiment Station. ARD scientists improve the quality of life for Nebraskans across the state. They make important contributions to the state's agriculture, food industries, environment, the well-being of families, and community development. Research occurs in fields, feedlots, the natural environment, homes, yards, gardens, and cities and towns. ARD scientists provide new knowledge and seek answers to Nebraskans' problems and concerns. For Example:
Spring-calving beef cows that receive supplemental nutrition late in pregnancy tend to produce heftier heifers that have improved pregnancy rates later, ARD research shows. The three-year study is the first research to demonstrate the impact of late-gestation nutrition on the performance and subsequent reproductive efficiency of heifer calves. Read about this and other IANR research in Endeavors.
To the right, calves whose mothers receive supplemental nutrition late in pregnancy may be born heavier and, ultimately, have improved pregnancy rates.
