Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Open‐Lot Cattle Feedyards: A Review
Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 45, Issue 6, Page 1797-1811, November-December 2016., 2016 Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from concentrated animal feeding operations, including cattle feedyards, have become an important research topic. However, there are limitations to current measurement techniques, uncertainty in the magnitude of feedyard N2O fluxes, and a lack of effective mitigation methods.

Bioenergy for Cattle and Cars: A Switchgrass Production System that Engages Cattle Producers
Agronomy Journal, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 960-966, July–August 2013., 2013 Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) produced for bioenergy is expected to compete with land resources used for stocker cattle (Bos taurus) grazing in the southern Great Plains. The objective was to determine the effect of stocking rate on animal performance, biomass yield, and quality.

Energy and Nutrient Recovery from Cattle Feedlots
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Selective harvesting of manure can benefit cattle producers by creating a product of value. A tool that identifies locations of manure accumulation has been developed using a subsurface sensor (Dualem‐1S, Milton, ON) and software designed for salt mapping (ESAP, Riverside, CA).

Salmonella Prevalence in Bovine Lymph Nodes Differs among Feedyards
Journal of Food Protection, 2012 Lymphatic tissue, specifically lymph nodes, is commonly incorporated into ground beef products as a component of lean trimmings. Salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria have been identified in bovine lymph nodes, which may impact compliance with the Salmonella performance standards for ground beef established by the U.S.

Concentrate Level in Bison Finishing Rations on Feedyard Performance
The Professional Animal Scientist, 1996 Abstract One hundred ninety-two dehorned bison bulls (235 kg initial BW) were utilized in a completely randomized design with initial weight equalized to evaluate the effect of concentrate levels of 30, 50, 70, and 90% in finishing diets on 266-d feedyard performance. There were eight head per pen and six pens per treatment.
