Policy Evaluation for Climate Mitigations in the European Agricultural Sector—A Comparison of Policy Options at Micro and Macro Level

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to discuss the micro‐ and macro‐outcomes for the standard neoclassical carbon tax (whose burden falls on the producers) versus the implication of a budget neutral, performance‐based EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) focusing on non‐CO2 emission (N2O and CH4, measured in CO2eq) reduction, especially in the ...

Intake, growth and meat quality of steers given diets based on varying proportions of maize silage and grass silage

, 2005
Simmental × Holstein-Friesian steers were offered four forage diets. These comprised grass silage (G); proportionately 0·67 grass silage, proportionately 0·33 maize silage (GGM); 0·33 grass silage, 0·67 maize silage ( MMG); maize silage ( M) from 424 (s ...

‘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.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

The influence of heating on silage fermentation and quality

Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1961
Laboratory and farm grass silages were studied. In anaerobic conditions in the laboratory temperature did not much affect digestibility of crude protein by pepsin. When laboratory silage was aerated there was a fall in digestibility related to the duration of aeration. In farm silages reduction in digestibility of protein was related to the duration of

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.

Evaluation of two biodegradable coatings on corn silage quality

, 2006
This experiment was performed to assess two different biodegradable coating formulations for the preservation of corn silage quality. Soy- and casein-based biodegradable coatings were evaluated for their ability to exclude oxygen and preserve corn silage.
