Effect of dried distillers’ grains with solubles on greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle
DownloadSpring 2014
Four experiments were conducted to determine the impact of dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from beef cattle. The first compared in vitro methane (CH4) production from corn DDGS (CDDGS, ~30% crude protein [CP]) and wheat DDGS (WDDGS, ~40% CP dry...

Effects of feeding 3-nitrooxypropanol to lactating dairy cows on methane emissions, animal performance and rumen fermentation
DownloadFall 2014
Methane emissions from ruminants are of great concern as they contribute to greenhouse gasses emitted within the atmosphere. The objective of this research was to evaluate a novel biochemical compound, 3-nitrooxypropanol, on its ability to reduce methane emissions and its impact on animal...

Spring 2016
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of 3-nitrooxypropanol (NOP) to lower enteric methane (CH4) production by ruminants. Methane is an undesirable byproduct of enteric fermentation that represents a loss of energy to the animal. Additionally, CH4 is a greenhouse gas...

Performance and Methane Emissions of RFI Selected Cattle in Drylot and Under Open Range Conditions
DownloadSpring 2018
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a moderately heritable trait that can be used to measure feed efficiency in beef cattle, and thereby reduce feed related costs. RFI has been primarily evaluated under drylot conditions where diet, feed intake and activity levels are controlled and foraging behaviour...

Fall 2016
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas with an elevated global warming potential (GWP) equivalent to 28 times that of CO2. Also, production of enteric CH4 results in a 2 to 12% loss of the gross energy intake of cattle thus knowing the amount of CH4 released to the environment is important. The...

Recovery of Legumes in Northern Temperate Pastures Following the Application of Broadleaf Herbicides
DownloadFall 2013
Field and greenhouse trials were conducted to assess the breakdown of soil residues of two broadleaf herbicide bioactives, aminopyralid and aminocyclopyrachlor, as well as associated legume reestablishment/recovery and pasture sward production dynamics. Greenhouse trials indicated legume seedling...
