At the forefront of consumer concerns is the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Consequently, in a bid to tackle the problem, ongoing research attempts to identify where these emissions are coming from, writes Adam Anson, reporting for TheCattleSite. Nutritional Management of Bulls Breeding bulls, purchased or home-raised, are large capital investments. However, the bull is often the nutritionally forgotten, or most marginalised component of the beef cattle enterprise, say Matt Hersom and Todd Thrift, assistant professors at the Department of Animal Sciences; Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Anti-quality Factors in Beef Cattle Diets Under certain conditions, beef cattle may be exposed to forages and feeds containing toxic or harmful compounds. When consumed, these antiquality factors can result in reduced cattle growth, depressed reproductive performance, poor health, and even death, say Jane A. Parish and Justin D. Rhinehart, in a Missippi State University Extension Service publication. Timely Marketing of Cull Cows: Every Cattleman's/Dairyman's Responsibility Short-term, gummer and smooth-mouth are all terms cattlemen use to describe their older bovines. They have produced well for the past 10-12 years. However, due to age, lack of teeth and an anticipated decline in production, they are forced to retire, writes Ron Torell - published in the Ohio State University Beef Team Newsletter.
