Methane Emissions From Dairy Goats Can Be Measured Using Cattle Respiration Chambers

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
Reducing methane emissions from dairy goat production is essential for meeting sustainability targets and consumer expectations. Accurate quantification of enteric methane per unit of feed intake is a prerequisite for developing emission inventories and mitigation strategies.

Potential of Pornunça Hay to Improve the Fermentation Profile, Yield, and Chemical Composition of Spineless Cactus‐Based Silage

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study evaluated the fermentation profile, losses, aerobic stability, microbial populations, and nutritional value of silages produced from spineless cactus forage with increasing levels of pornunça hay. A completely randomized design with five treatments (0%, 7.5%, 15.0%, 22.5%, and 30.0% pornunça hay on a natural matter basis) and five replicates

Effect of a glyphosate-containing herbicide on Escherichia coli and Salmonella Ser. Typhimurium in an in vitro rumen simulation system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is the most-used herbicide worldwide. Many studies in the past have shown that residues of the herbicide can be found in many cultivated plants, including those used as livestock feed.

Effect of Body Weight Changes During Lactation on Estimated Enteric Methane Emissions in New Zealand Dairy Cows

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
The New Zealand greenhouse gas inventory methodology for estimating enteric methane emissions (CH4) in dairy cows assumes, for simplicity of the prediction, that lactating cows maintain a constant body weight (BW) throughout each lactation. This study evaluated the effect of BW changes during lactation on estimated dry matter intake (DMI) and its ...
