In agriculture, grain quality depends on the use of the grain.In ethanol production, the chemical composition of grain such as starch content is important, in food and feed manufacturing, properties such as protein, oil and sugar are significant, in the milling industry, soundness is the most important factor to consider when it comes to the quality of grain.
Methane belching from cattle might be reduced by intensification of farming, [119] selective breeding, [102] immunization against the many methanogens, [102] rumen defaunation (killing the bacteria-killing protozoa), [120] diet modification (e.g. seaweed fortification), [121] decreased antibiotic use, [122] and grazing management.
Texas is the nation's biggest cattle producer, and Miller said more than 85% of the state's herd is in the Panhandle. Most are in feedlots and dairies that are unscathed, though, he said.
In organic farming systems, the effect of heat stress on milk yields is limited, but milk quality suffers substantially, with lower fat and protein content. [55] In China, daily milk production per cow is already lower than the average by between 0.7 and 4 kg (1.5 and 8.8 lb) in July (the hottest month of the year), and by 2070, it may decline ...
At least two people have died as severe storms and tornadoes tore through parts of Texas and Mississippi on Saturday, officials said, while a parade of atmospheric river-fueled storms batters the ...
