Nature's values, drivers and perceived influence on ecosystem services shape agroecological livestock farming in the Netherlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The environmental benefits of agroecological farm management have been demonstrated, but its uptake is still lagging. Understanding how specific practices relate to drivers and ecosystem services (ES), and what values of nature underlie those factors can be useful in understanding what type of practices are preferred by farmers under which ...

Simulating the effect of forces pit ventilation on ammonia emission from naturally ventilated cow houses with CFD

, 2009
Atmospheric NH3, mainly originates from agricultural sources, can cause serious environmental problems related to eutrophication and soil acidification. Emissions from dairy houses are 15% of total agricultural NH3 emissions.

Branched‐Chain Amino and Keto Acids Reduce Hepatocyte Lipid Droplet Size and Number via Distinct Proteomic Pathways

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) and their corresponding keto acids (BCKA) have been associated with changes in hepatic lipid metabolism and the resulting alterations in intracellular triglyceride concentrations. In this study, we utilized a previously established hepatocyte model to investigate the impact of BCAA and BCKA supplementation on ...

How AI and Digital Technologies Can Enhance Sustainable Livestock Manure Management: An Overview From Treatment to Distribution

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable livestock manure management sits at the nexus of climate, nutrient circularity and water quality. This review explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms are used across four management stages, that is, treatment, storage, valorisation and distribution, and figures out where integration fails to deliver ...

Establishment of goat mammary organoid cultures modeling the mammary gland development and lactation

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Although several cell culture systems have been developed to investigate the function of the mammary gland in dairy livestock, they have potential limitations, such as the loss of alveolar structure or genetic and phenotypic differences from ...

Self-control design reveals varied lactation and metabolic responses to rumen-protected methionine in dairy cows

Animal Nutriomics
One hundred and thirteen mid-lactation cows fed same diets and supplemented with 20 g/d rumen-protected methionine (RPM) for 8 weeks were used to investigate the individual responses of dairy cows to RPM in terms of lactation performance, amino acids (AA)

Does increasing milk yield per cow reduce greenhouse gas emissions? A system approach

Animal, 2012
Milk yield per cow has continuously increased in many countries over the last few decades. In addition to potential economic advantages, this is often considered an important strategy to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per kg of milk produced ...
