A systematic review of the economics of nutritional interventions to reduce enteric methane production in dairy cows
Enteric methane from dairy cows is an important source of methane emissions and has been increasing more rapidly than emissions from beef production. Methods proposed to decrease enteric methane production…
-
Controlling ruminant methane emissions employing lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are natural colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract of young livestock. Several LAB produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and previous research indicated that LAB metabolites can reduce methane…

Analysis of amino acids in milk and dairy products will enhance research from a biochemical, nutritional, bioactive and safety perspective
Ibáñez Alfaro’s project plans to utilize a new ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC) instrument (Waters® Acquity UPLC H-Class Plus) with the capacity to quantify amino acids to study the amino acid…
-
Building capacity to perform cow-side measurements of cellular metabolism via the mobile Seahorse XF HS Mini Analyzer
Leone’s project will examine mitochondrial function in dairy cattle using two new Agilent Seahorse XF HS Mini Analyzers. This equipment will directly measure functionality of mitochondria through mitochondrial respiration, glycolysis,…

Calan feeding gates in Marshfield ARS lactating cow barn
Esser’s project will install 30 Calan Broadbent feeding system gates at Marshfield Agricultural Research Station. The Calan Broadbent system is an electronic recognition feeding system which allows researchers to dispense…
-
Increasing research capacity in energy partitioning and feed efficiency
Ferraretto’s project will utilize new walk-over scales and individual intake feeders for research related to feed efficiency and energy partitioning. The determination of body weight is instrumental for feed efficiency,…
