Chronic Wasting Disease management responses in North America: A public policy analysis

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
In this study we use the Multiple Streams Framework from public policy theory to assess the responses of wildlife management agencies in states and provinces with CWD‐positive cases in the United States and Canada to alleviate public concerns and manage the spread of this disease.

Emission Reporting for Agriculture: Frameworks and Metrics Matter

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frameworks and metrics that reliably describe agricultural emission sources and carbon sinks are critical to the formulation of cost‐effective mitigation investment. This study identifies and compares three distinct emission reporting frameworks across metrics of total emissions and emissions intensity.

‘Let's Turn the Grass Into Meat’: Animal Husbandry as Women's Work in Cold War North Korea

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In postcolonial North Korea, the future of the nation was said to be a function of the feedlot. Unobtainable on the battlefields of the recently ended Korean War, liberation and unification of the peninsula became a question of competitive developmentalism.

Genetic Parameters of Methane Emission, Feed Efficiency, Feeding Behaviour, and Growth Traits in Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change has intensified the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation. Genetic selection has emerged as a promising mitigation strategy; however, studies on Bos taurus indicus , especially Nellore cattle, remain limited.

Use of probiotic lactobacilli as alternative to monensin in beef feedlot cattle

Academia Environmental Sciences and Sustainability
In an effort to substitute antibiotics in high-energy diets fed to feedlot cattle, probiotics have emerged as a viable alternative. In this study, increase of animals body weight (BW) and average daily gain (ADG) were used as indicators of ...

Contribution of Fat Adjustment to Residual Feed Intake Estimation in Beef Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Including fat thickness as a covariate in the regression model used to calculate residual feed intake (RFI) could help preserve carcass quality traits, such as marbling, flavour and juiciness, by accounting for variation in fat deposition.

Investigating the effects of dietary and management modifications on Salmonella enterica population in harvest-ready beef cattle

Microbiology Spectrum
Salmonella enterica, a foodborne pathogen, poses a significant public health risk, particularly because of multidrug-resistant strains. Cattle are one of the known reservoirs of Salmonella that contaminates beef products. Whereas antibiotic use in cattle
