Evaluation of the Water Footprint of Beef Cattle Production in Nebraska [PDF]

, 2020
Data were compiled on feed usage to model the amount of water needed to produce beef in typical Nebraska production systems. Production systems where cows were wintered on corn residue utilized 18% less water than systems utilizing native range as a ...

A Virus‐Inducible E3–RLCK–MADS Module Coordinates Suppression of Plant Immunity and Fertility in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viruses often hijack host developmental programs to promote infection, but the mechanistic links between reproductive regulation and antiviral immunity remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify a virus‐triggered hierarchical degradation cascade that links antiviral immunity and fertility regulation in rice. We show that the rice grassy

Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

Evaluation of elephant grass for energy use

Journal of Biotechnology and Biodiversity, 2013
The high demand for fossil fuels, and the emission of greenhouse gases by the use of these fuels, make new studies are conducted in order to replace them with alternative sources of energy. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the feasibility of using elephant grass as an energy source, which is widely used in animal feed.
