Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ground Level Area Sources in Dairy and Cattle Feedyard Operations
A protocol that consisted of an isolation flux chamber and a portable gas chromatograph was used to directly quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at a dairy and a feedyard operation in the Texas Panhandle.

Effect of water application on ammonia emissions from simulated beef cattle feedyard surfaces [PDF]
Ammonia (NH3) emissions from beef cattle feedyards cause nutritional loss in manure and contribute to environmental pollution. Thus, the mitigation of NH3 emissions helps sustain and promote the production of environmental agriculture.

Compliance of large feedyards in the northern high plains with the Beef Quality Assurance Feedyard Assessment [PDF]
ABSTRACTDespite increasing public scrutiny of practices used in raising animals for food, there is little readily available information about how cattle handling is managed in feedyards. The purpose of this study was to score cattle handling in commercial feedyards using the most widely adopted program for managing cattle handling, and to make these ...

Associations Between Thoracic Ultrasound Chute-Side Evaluations and 60-Day Outcomes in Feedyard Cattle at Time of First Treatment for Respiratory Disease [PDF]
Accurate prognosis at first treatment for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is essential for timely interventions and management decisions. This cross-sectional observational study evaluated 819 commercial beef feedyard cattle at chute-side for first BRD ...

Comparative microbiome analysis of beef cattle, the feedyard environment, and airborne particulate matter as a function of probiotic and antibiotic use, and change in pen environment [PDF]
IntroductionIntensive beef cattle production systems are frequently implicated as a source of bacteria that can be transferred to nearby humans and animals via effluent water, manure used as fertilizer, or airborne particulate matter.

Thoracic Ultrasound in Cattle: Methods, Diagnostics, and Prognostics [PDF]
Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) has emerged as a critical tool in the diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases in cattle, particularly bovine respiratory disease (BRD), which is one of the most economically significant health issues in feedyard ...

Ammonia emissions from beef cattle feedyards: a review
This review described the state of the science concerning the generation, measurement, and mitigation of ammonia (NH3) emissions from beef cattle feedyards. NH3 emissions primarily come from urinary urea in cattle manure.
