Invited Review: Strategic use of microbial-based probiotics and prebiotics in dairy calf rearing

L.R. Cangiano, T.T. Yohe, M.A. Steele et al. · 28 Sep 2020

The objective of this narrative review was to describe the effect of microbial-based products, specifically pro- and prebiotics, on gut health, function, and disease prevention during early life and at weaning in dairy calves. The main source of data and information compiled for this review was peer-reviewed literature. Diarrhea is responsible for the majority of…

Invited Review: Methane sources, quantification, and mitigation in grazing beef systems

L.R. Thompson, Jason E. Rowntree · 25 Jul 2020

The purpose of the review was to examine enteric methane emissions, quantification methods, and mitigation strategies in grazing beef systems. Peer-reviewed literature and conference abstracts were the main sources of information for this review. Methane emissions (CH4) can be reduced by improving forage quality by including more cool-season forages and legumes and rotationally grazing animals.…

Nutrient concentrations, digestibility, and cannabinoid concentrations of industrial hemp plant components

Michael D. Kleinhenz, Géraldine Magnin, Stee M. Ensley et al. · 25 Jul 2020

The cultivation and production of industrial hemp [Cannabis sativa containing <0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)] has increased. Information regarding the nutrient composition and cannabinoid concentration of different plant parts are deficient. Single lots of industrial hemp plants and by-products of cannabinoid production were obtained from a licensed research station located in south-central Kansas. Samples obtained were (1)…

Invited Review: Emission and mitigation of greenhouse gases from dairy farms: The cow, the manure, and the field

M.A. Wattiaux, M.E. Uddin, P. Letelier et al. · 20 Mar 2019

We identified the biophysical drivers of the main sources of on-farm greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions: enteric methane (CH4), manure CH4 and nitrous oxide (N2O), and field N2O and carbon dioxide (CO2). We explored the effect of selected management practices and their interactions on emissions mitigation and summarized findings from life cycle assessments of milk from…

Exploratory observational quantification of liver abscess incidence, specific to region and cattle type, and their associations to viscera value and bacterial flora

R.T. Herrick, C.L. Rogers, T.J. McEvers et al. · 21 Mar 2022

Our objective was to quantify incidence and economic effect of liver abscesses and identify predominant bacterial species specific to severity of abscesses, geographical region, and cattle type. Observational liver audits occurred at 7 fed-beef (n = 130,845 livers) and 4 cull-beef (n = 30,646 livers) processing facilities. At each processing facility, intact liver abscess samples…
