Ben-Gurion University researchers control cattle microbiomes to produce less methane and reduce greenhouse gases

Research in the Journal of Dairy Science® highlights effort to increase genetic diversity of dairy cattle

In research with cattle, scientists show it is possible to disentangle the DNA sequences of the chromosomes inherited from both the mother and the father

UC Davis researchers find 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gases per liter of milk

Until now, no one had studied the effects of distillers grains—a  common feed ingredient—on bull development and fertility

These effects include alteration of the soil microbiome and ecosystem functions, soil respiration, and elemental cycling

In a new study, researchers tested whether Stx2a is important for calf-to-calf transmission by comparing E. coli O157 strains with and without Stx2a

Research reveals that the level and type of methane-producing microbes in a cow is largely controlled by the cow’s genetic makeup

Inclusion of a parameter that measures an animal's capacity to transmit its genetic traits resulted in gains of up to 16 percent compared with a traditional method of selection

The more adaptable cows are, the less they will be stressed and fearful in new situations and the more milk they should produce, scientist says
