EDITORIAL - A Week for Fraud and Cartels
![]()
We have 5 new features this week: Nitrogen Availability from Liquid Swine and Dairy Manure Researchers at the University of Minnesota have compared predictions for nitrogen availability from dairy and pig manure in soils with practical results. They found generally good agreement but the variable with the greatest effect was the method of manure application, writes Jackie Linden for TheDairySite. Aspects of Asian Dairying In the past, Asians have not been large consumers of milk, but things are changing, writes Stuart Lumb for TheDairySite. Transition Period Management and Nutrition Most of the metabolic diseases of dairy cows - milk fever, ketosis, retained placenta (RP), and displacement of the abomasum - occur within the first 2 wk of lactation. This feature was taken from the proceedings of the High Plains Dairy Conference. A full link to the proceedings is provided below. The Strategic Use of Ruminally Protected Amino Acids in Dairy Nutrition The rumen is arguably the most important organ in the ruminant digestive system, writes Adegbola T. Adesogan, University of Florida as part of the proceedings from the University of Florida Dairy Extension 20th Symposium. USDA Feed Outlook April 2009 World 2008/09 corn trade is projected up 0.7 million tonnes this month to 76.1 million, says Allen Baker, Edward Allen, and Heather Lutman in the USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) Feed Outlook report for March 2009. ![]()
