Evaluation of key performance indicators to monitor performance in beef herds

Key performance indicators can be used to monitor the efficiency of production, identify areas where improvements could be made, and monitor the effects of any management changes. Their use in the beef sector is increasing, however the evidence behind which performance indicators are most useful in achieving overall enterprise success is limited. A collaborative project between The University of Nottingham and the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) Beef and Lamb aims to investigate the relationships between key performance indicators and enterprise success using focus group discussion, data analysis and simulation modelling.
