The Environmental Impact Of Dietary Choice And Agriculture In California, Harold J. Marlow Jr. Jun 2006

The Environmental Impact Of Dietary Choice And Agriculture In California, Harold J. Marlow Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Food demand influences agricultural production. Modern agricultural practices have resulted in polluted soil, air and water, eroded soil, dependence on imported oil, and loss of biodiversity. The goal of this research is to investigate the environmental impact of pesticide and fertilizer application, water consumption, and energy used to produce commodities for a vegetarian and non vegetarian diet in California. The working assumption is that greater number and amount of inputs are associated with greater environmental impact. The literature supports this notion. To accomplish this goal, dietary preferences were quantified using the Adventist Health Study and state agricultural data were collected …

Ethanol Production From Grain, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia May 2006

Ethanol Production From Grain, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia

All other publications

Two methods are currently used to produce ethanol from grain: wet milling and dry milling. The adjectives ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ describe the method, not the product. The different methods affect both the profitability and logistics. Dry mills produce ethanol, distillers' grain and carbon dioxide (Figure 1). The carbon dioxide is a co-product of the fermentation, and the distillers’ dried grain with solubles (DDGS) is a non-animal based, high protein livestock feed supplement, produced from the distillation and dehydration process. If distillers' grains are not dried, they are referred to as distillers' wet grain (DWG). Wet mill facilities are ‘bio-refineries’ producing …

In this Manual, the text refers to dingoes where the information is derived from studies of essentially pure dingoes. Elsewhere the text usually refers to the more generic term, wild dogs. The information in this Manual is based on scientific studies, including detailed evaluations of techniques and strategies, as well as considerable practical experience from doggers, Department of Agriculture and Food staff and land managers. Much of this Manual focuses on sheep …

Supplementation Of Energy And Protein For Beef Cattle, A Literature Review, D. Zobell Mar 2006

Supplementation Of Energy And Protein For Beef Cattle, A Literature Review, D. Zobell

Surveillance Of Swarms And Feral Honey Bees (Apis Melliera) For The Presence Of American Foulbrood (Paenibacillus Larvae Sub. Sp. Larvae) Spores And Their Habitat Preferences In Western Australia, Rob Manning, Ruth Cadman, Jeff Beard, Chris Hawkins Jan 2006

Surveillance Of Swarms And Feral Honey Bees (Apis Melliera) For The Presence Of American Foulbrood (Paenibacillus Larvae Sub. Sp. Larvae) Spores And Their Habitat Preferences In Western Australia, Rob Manning, Ruth Cadman, Jeff Beard, Chris Hawkins

Bulletins 4000 -

Honey bees were first transported to Western Australia in 1841 (Barrett 1999) and in the years that followed the first feral honey bee swarms soon appeared in the Western Australian landscape. A brood disease of honey bees, American Foulbrood (AFB) became an economic nuisance in Western Australia by 1899 (Helms 1900) with whole apiaries being destroyed in some localities. It is now an endemic disease found in beekeeping operations world-wide.

Effects Of Feed Additives And Mixed Eimeria Species Infection On Intestinal Microbial Ecology Of Broilers, M. E. Hume, S. Clemente-Hernandez, E. O. Oviedo Rondon Jan 2006

Effects Of Feed Additives And Mixed Eimeria Species Infection On Intestinal Microbial Ecology Of Broilers, M. E. Hume, S. Clemente-Hernandez, E. O. Oviedo Rondon

Faculty Publications

Evaluation of digestive microbial ecology is necessary to understand effects of growth-promoting feed. In the current study, the dynamics of intestinal microbial communities (MC) were examined in broilers fed diets supplemented with a combination of antibiotic (bacitracin methylene disalicylate) and ionophore (Coban 60), and diets containing 1 of 2 essential oil (EO) blends, Crina Poultry (CP) and Crina Alternate (CA). Five treatments were analyzed: 1) unmedicated uninfected control; 2) unmedicated infected control; 3) feed additives monensin (bacitracin methylene disalicylate) + monensin (Coban 60; AI); 4) EO blend CP; and 5) EO blend CA. Additives were mixed into a basal feed …

The Cattle Industry's Guidelines For The Care And Handling Of Cattle Jan 2006

The Cattle Industry's Guidelines For The Care And Handling Of Cattle

Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance Program

Cattlemen have long recognized the need to properly care for livestock. Sound animal husbandry practices, based on decades of practical experience and research, are known to impact the wellbeing of cattle, individual animal health and herd productivity. Cattle are produced in very diverse environments and geographic locations in the United States. There is not one specific set of production practices that can be recommended for all cattle producers. Personal experience, training and professional judgment can serve as a valuable resource for providing proper animal care.
