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 ...

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 ...

Impacts of beef producer compensation programmes to remediate negative economic outcomes of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Canada
Before the first domestic case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was identified in May 2003, Canada was the world's third largest exporter of cattle behind the USA and Australia. After the detection of BSE, over 30 countries imposed an immediate ban on imported Canadian beef and cattle products, including the USA. The interdependence of the Canadian beef industry with that of the US ...

Trenbolone causes mortality and altered sexual differentiation in Xenopus tropicalis during larval development
Trenbolone is an androgen agonist used in cattle production and has been measured in aquatic systems associated with concentrated animal‐feeding operations. In this study, the authors characterized the effects of aqueous exposure to 17β‐trenbolone during larval Xenopus tropicalis development. Trenbolone exposure resulted in increased mortality of post‐Nieuwkoop–Faber stage 58 tadpoles at ...

Kinetics of Phenylpropanoid gene expression in maize growing internodes: Relationships with cell wall deposition
Both for cattle nutrition and biofuel production, the improvement in maize (Zea mays L.) cell wall degradability depends on understanding the genetic mechanisms involved in the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids. Most of the genes involved in monolignol and p-hydroxycinnamate biosynthesis are known, but many belong to multigene families. A macro-array with cell wall gene specific tags was used to ...

Stimulation of the hydrolytic stage for biogas production from cattle manure in an electrochemical bioreactor
Electrical current in the hydrolytic phase of the biogas process might affect biogas yield. In this study, four 1,150 mL single membrane-less chamber electrochemical bioreactors, containing two parallel titanium plates were connected to the electrical source with voltages of 0, −0.5, −1 and −1.5 V, respectively. Reactor 1 with 0 V was considered as a control reactor. The trend of biogas ...

Project - Climate Feed
Seaweed in cattle feed to reduce greenhouse gas from burping dairy cows Seaweed could contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The research project Climate Feed will develop seaweed feed supplement with funding from Innovation Fund Denmark. There’s a huge potential in reducing cows’ emission of methane and, consequently, greenhouse gases. The major part of ...

Dairy cattle manure improves soil productivity in low residue rotation systems
Mineral fertilizer alone may not sustain soil productivity in cropping systems that return little crop residues to the soil, unless additional organic residues and/or manure is applied regularly to the soil. The objective of the present study was to assess the long-term effects of mineral fertilization (No fertilizer, PK, and NPK) and manure addition (0 and 20 Mg ha–1 yr–1) on soil physical and ...

Cattle Rustling
Cattle rustling is THE ideal use case for the aerial and mobility advantages drones provide. Stock theft tends to happen in more remote areas where access and monitoring is more difficult for terrestrial based operations, whether by foot or vehicle and line of sight could be obscured by obstacles. It is a worldwide problem but in particular in Latin America in countries such as Brazil and ...

Three Steps to Manage Heat Stress in Beef Cattle
The full swing of summer will bring high temperatures, high humidity, and high chances of heat stress. Heat stress is a major concern in the beef industry, causing countless problems in cattle, such as a decrease in feed intake, diminished digestibility, and a significant negative impact on performance. High temperatures can cause cattle to reduce feed intake, which can negatively affect ...
