Poll Recap: Starting Horses Under Saddle

Starting a young horse under saddle can be a daunting task. Each horse has their own personality and learning curve, requiring trainers to tailor a training program to each animal. 
 
In last week’s online poll, we asked our readers if they have ever started a horse under saddle themselves. Seven hundred people responded and we’ve tallied the results!
 
Of the 700 respondents, 522 (75%) said yes, they have started a horse under saddle themselves. The remaining 178 (25%) individuals said they have not.

Measuring Methane Emissions From Cattle with Unique Technologies

Video: Measuring Methane Emissions From Cattle with Unique Technologies

PhD Student Madison Kindberg, and Air Quality Specialist and Professor, Dr. Frank Mitloehner explain the unique Cattle Pen Enclosures and how they will capture emissions from cattle using state of the art technology. The enclosures are well equipped with one-way airflow fans, smart scales, and smart feeds that can tell you what an animal ate, when they ate and how much they ate. All enclosures are connected to one mobile air quality lab which uses gas monitors and analyzers to collect precision data. This data will be used to determine if an early-life methane reducing bolus can reduce emissions from cattle long-term.
