With more than 2 million cows on 68,000 farms, Missouri is the third-largest beef producer in the nation. Due to rising feed prices, farmers are struggling to provide feed for the cows that contribute more than $1 billion to Missouri's economy. University of Missouri researcher Monty Kerley, professor of animal nutrition in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, is studying how cows might be able to gain more weight while consuming less, potentially saving farmers up to 40 percent of feed costs. http://www.physorg.com/news173611731.html Biology Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:40:02 EST news173611731 The benefits to animals of omega 3 fatty acids in fish oils have been well documented - helping the heart and circulatory system, improving meat quality and reducing methane emissions. http://www.physorg.com/news157615993.html Biology Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:13:54 EST news157615993 River floods and storms that send water surging through swamps and marshes near rivers and coastal areas might cut in half the average greenhouse gas emissions from those affected wetlands, according to recent research at Ohio State University. http://www.physorg.com/news141401698.html Space & Earth Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:14:58 EST news141401698 (PhysOrg.com) -- In an attempt to understand the extent of cow flatulence on global warming, scientists in Argentina are strapping plastic bags to the backs of cows to capture their emissions. http://www.physorg.com/news135003243.html Other Sciences Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:54:03 EST news135003243
