Beef Cattle Instance Segmentation Using Fully Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We present an instance segmentation algorithm trained and applied to a CCTV recording of beef cattle during a winter finishing period. A fully convolutional network was transformed into an instance segmentation network that learns to label each instance of an animal separately.

Resilience of Small Beef Packers and the USDA Meat Supply Chain Initiative
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We focus on the plant‐size resilience relationship among small beef packers during COVID‐19. Defining resilience as the ability to maintain or increase slaughter and non‐resilience as otherwise, we use survey and secondary data to estimate a logit model where resilience is a function of a plant's capacity and age in addition to labor condition

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 336-352, January 2023., 2023 Abstract This paper seeks to understand the process by which biodiversity performance indicators can be developed. In doing so, this paper examines how biodiversity performance measurements are inherently imperfect and reflects on the implications of that imperfectness.

Influence of Diet on Methane and Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Cattle Manure
Asian Journal of Atmospheric Environment, 2015 Livestock is one of the major contributors of greenhouse gases (GHGs). It accounts for 14.5% of the global GHGs emissions like methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation and manure, nitrous oxide (N2O) from manure and fertilizer. Since enteric emissions are

Predicting the public health benefit of vaccinating cattle against Escherichia coli O157 [PDF]
, 2013 Identifying the major sources of risk in disease transmission is key to designing effective controls. However, understanding of transmission dynamics across species boundaries is typically poor, making the design and evaluation of controls particularly ...

ChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 23, December 5, 2022., 2022 Housing sulfur: Certain fungi produce diketopiperazine compounds with a transannular sulfur bridge. These so‐called epipolythiodioxopiperzines are toxic by non‐specifically interacting with intracellular proteins and contribute to fungal pathogenicity. Producer strains serve as bio‐pesticides but also question safety of food fermentation.
