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 ...

Evaluation of cattle bedding and grazing BMPs in an agricultural watershed in Alberta
This paper highlights the environmental impacts of implementing beneficial management practices to address cattle bedding and direct access to the creek in a study watershed in southern Alberta, Canada. Approximately 35 cow–calf pairs grazed 194 ha of grass forage and had direct access to the creek in the spring and summer. During winter, the cattle were fed adjacent to the creek at an old ...

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 ...

Nutrient accumulation below cattle feedlot pens in Kansas
Received for publication April 30, 2008. Waste excreted on cattle (Bos taurus) feedlot pens is a source of N and other nutrients that could potentially leach into soil and negatively impact local groundwater quality. Analyses of soil chemical and physical properties beneath active open air feedlot pens were conducted at four Kansas locations to determine nutrient accumulation. Results were ...

Effect of cattle slurry separation on greenhouse gas and Ammonia emissions during storage
Storage of cattle slurry leads to emissions of methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2). On dairy farms, winter is the most critical period in terms of slurry storage due to cattle housing and slurry field application prohibition. Slurry treatment by separation results in reduced slurry dry matter content and has considerable potential to reduce gaseous ...
