This Week's Feature Articles We have 4 new features this week: Fuel for the Fire: Livestock Inputs and GHG Emissions The effects of livestock farming on climate change is an ever-expanding issue for the meat industry. At the forefront of consumer concerns are 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. The Effects of Heat Stress on Metabolism and Nutrition Decisions Heat stress negatively impacts a variety of dairy parameters including milk yield and reproduction and; therefore is a significant financial burden in many dairy-producing areas of the world, writes L.H. Baumgard and R.P. Rhoads. This feature was taken from the proceedings of the High Plains Dairy Conference. A full link to the proceedings is provided below.
