USDA Reminds Livestock Producers There Is Still Time To Respond To Livestock Inventory Surveys

USDA Reminds Livestock Producers There is Still Time to Respond to Livestock Inventory Surveys
 
Recent and forecast winter storms are a poignant reminder that good information is needed to help allocate emergency resources in times of crisis. There is still time to respond to the USDA-NASS Cattle Inventory and the Sheep and Goat Inventory surveys but time is running out. Data collection will end on January 19th. If you need help completing your report, or need more information, please call 1(800) 626-3142. These data are critical in helping assess and allocate emergency resources.
 
 
NASS safeguards the privacy of all responses and publishes only state and national-level data in aggregate, ensuring that no individual producer or operation can be identified.

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.
