Whose money is it? Cattle production and household income allocation in Southern Veracruz, Mexico
Several studies have shown that the introduction of cattle production in the Mexican tropics has had damaging environmental and social effects. However, women's experiences have been overlooked in these studies. By taking a collective approach to the household, this paper analyses the control that women exercise over the income resulting from cattle production in Encino Amarillo, a Nahua ...

Building reservation economies: Cattle, American Indians and the American West
Removal to reservations involved American Indians in changing economies and federal 'civilisation' programs that were fueled by beef cattle, breeding cattle, working cattle (oxen) and dairy cattle. As 19th century reservations expanded, Native Americans negotiated the bovine economies as consumers, labourers, producers, retailers and marketers. Cattle, working oxen and dairy cows were intended to ...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy risk management in Latin America: Costa Rica as a representative country for risk management and policy
Costa Rica is a representative Latin American country with significant regional cattle production for its size. The country experienced an exceedingly low challenge for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) as evidenced by no direct meat and bone meal imports from the UK, few imported cattle, no specified risk materials imports from high risk countries, and cattle that are entirely grass-fed. In ...

Ammonia and hydrogen sulphide flux and dry deposition velocity estimates using vertical gradient method at a commercial beef cattle feedlot
Ammonia and hydrogen sulphide flux and dry deposition velocity were estimated using micrometeorological vertical gradient flux method at a commercial cattle feedyard of approximately 50,000 head of beef cattle and average 14.4 m²/head (150 ft²/head) stocking density. Ammonia-N and H2S-S loss had general diurnal patterns with the highest fluxes in daytime and lowest fluxes in nighttime that ...

Accuracy, Use and Applicability of the Vytelle Sense In-Pen Weighing Positions
Introduction The Vytelle SENSE system (formerly GrowSafe Systems), featuring In-Pen Weighing Positions, can be used to collect individual weights from cattle in an automatic and non-intrusive way. The technology allows for continuous monitoring of individual animal weights and growth rates by collecting front-end partial body weights and converting them to full body weights using Vytelle’s ...

Differentiation of meat species by means of Polymerase Chain Reaction technique
The present study was designed to investigate the efficiency of random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique in differentiating meat species viz cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, pig and chicken. Different random primers were screened with DNA extracted from meat samples of cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, pig and chicken. Characteristic species-specific bands of ...

Risk management strategies for bovine spongiform encephalopathy in South America
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has never been reported in South America. As BSE began to be detected in other parts of the world, Argentina and Brazil were able to gain a larger share of the global demand for beef, with these two countries currently controlling one-third of the world export beef market. In both countries, the practice of pasturing cattle rather than feeding MBM has served ...

Analysis and dissipation of the antiparasitic agent ivermectin in cattle dung under different field conditions
Cattle treated with the veterinary parasiticide ivermectin (IVM) fecally excrete residues. Here we report the exposition and dissipation characteristics of these residues in dung of IVM‐treated cattle, and in soil beneath this dung, on pastures including Canada, France, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. Residues were quantified for dung collected from cattle after 3, 7, 14, and 28 d post‐ ...

Transformation of Borana from nomadic pastoralists to agropastoralists and shift of livestock from cattle to include more goats, camels and sheep in Southern Ethiopia
Traditionally, Borana in Southern Ethiopia raised cattle for meat, milk, blood, leather, dung and cash and depended on nomadic and transhumant pastoralism for their livelihood and lifestyle. The government policy today is to sedentarise the pastoralists and convert the pastureland into cropland. Kebeles (pastoralist associations) have been established and these bodies have usurped much of the ...

Performance of a dispersion model to estimate methane loss from cattle in pens
Received for publication December 29, 2008. Accurate measurements of enteric methane (CH4) emissions from cattle (Bos taurus) are necessary to improve emission coefficients used in national emissions inventories, and to evaluate mitigation strategies. Our study was conducted to evaluate a novel approach that allowed near continuous CH4 measurement from beef cattle confined in pens. The backward ...

Pasture Trial – Waroona (2014/2015) - Case Study
At Waroona in the Peel region of Western Australia in 2014, 12 by 1m square wire cattle cages were placed at random to evaluate the effects of Hibrix pasture treatment combined with 50kg/ha of super phosphate versus the growers standard fertiliser usage of 100kg/ha of super phosphate. The Hibrix treated plots produced significantly higher amounts of dry matter without any reduction in pasture ...

The market incentives that are keeping trees standing in Brazil
And now for some good news: It looks like some market-driven agreements around beef production in Brazil may be slowing deforestation in the country’s rainforests. That’s the finding reported by Holly Gibbs, an assistant professor of geography and environmental studies at University of Wisconsin–Madison, and a team of researchers in a paper published recently in Conservation ...
