Skip navigation More topics Select a topic Emissions monitoring Government International activities Natural resources HOME AGO Home Natural resources Publications About ... Search Greenhouse emissions from beef cattle Livestock produce methane (CH ) and nitrous oxide (N O). Both are very potent greenhouse gasses, methane having a global warming potential 21 times that of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide 310 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gas emissions from livestock Enteric fermentation: Methane is produced as a by-product of the digestion of feed in the rumen of cattle under anaerobic conditions. The amount of methane emitted by cattle is dependent primarily on the characteristics of the feed and the amount eaten. Manure: Both methane and nitrous oxide can be produced from manure under certain management conditions. Emissions from the manure of range-kept cattle are considered negligible. N O emissions from the soil do occur with the deposition of manure, however these emissions are considered agricultural soil emissions and are not attributed to livestock in the inventory. Contributions to national emissions Beef cattle contribute about 58% of livestock emissions and about 8% of the national greenhouse gas emissions.

When not present in sufficient quantity, these trace minerals can cause severe biological problems for the animal and economic losses for the producer. However, with trace minerals being required in such small amounts, excess supplementation can cause toxicity. Therefore, addition of trace minerals to a livestock ration should be done in concert with a professional recommendation. The minerals that are of particular concern in Saskatchewan are copper, zinc, manganese, iodine, cobalt and selenium.

Navigation Path >> Home Livestock Beef Feeds and Nutrition Monday, June 07, 2004 Minerals for Beef Cattle Average Mineral Composition of Selected Sask. Feedstuffs Methods of Supplementation Macro Minerals Mineral Supplements Last Update: March 1992 Animals have specific requirements for minerals. These requirements are based on the type, weight and age, as well as the rate of performance (weight gain, level of milk production, pregnancy, etc.) expected of the animal. Mineral imbalances and/or deficiencies can result in decreased performance, decreased disease resistance and reproductive failure which results in serious economic losses. Mineral deficiencies or imbalances occur when the animal's requirements are not met because of low mineral content in the feedstuffs, low biological availability of the mineral, or another mineral or other substances interferes with the absorption of the mineral by the animal. While animals may recognize the body's need for minerals, the concept of "Nutritional Wisdom" whereby the animal will eat the minerals that it requires and also consume the correct amounts of the required mineral has not been shown to exist. Mineral supplements are not uniformly palatable. Cattle have shown preference for bonemeal-salt mixtures over other (dicalcium phosphate or monocalcium phosphate) supplements. However, water quality, ration content and variability between animals are also factors influencing palatability.

COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE LIVESTOCK PROGRAMS The Livestock component of the UVI Cooperative Extension Service is divided into four main project areas. Each area strives to provide the farmers of the Virgin Islands with the most accurate and up to date livestock information available. Beef Cattle Improvement Program The beef cattle program of the Cooperative Extension Service focuses on identification and performance testing. It works with all of the cattle farmers in the Virgin Islands from the large purebred Senepol breeder to the small backyard producer. The program operates along the guidelines of the Beef Improvement Federation and assists producers in the identification of animals, weighing of animals and provides selection assistance for replacement animals. The goals of the program are to provide beef cattle farmers with the technology and education necessary for a profitable enterprise. The primary breed of beef cattle in the Virgin Islands is the Senepol . This breed was developed on St. Croix to meet the needs of the tropical beef producer. The cattle were classified in the 1970's in a cooperative effort between the then College of the Virgin Islands and the original four Senepol farms. The breed has now gone global and can be found on almost every continent. For more information on the Senepol cattle visit the UVI Senepol homepage.

This Manual describes the procedures and recommended approaches for estimating emissions from facilities engaged in the operation of Beef Cattle Feedlots. A beef feedlot is a confined area with watering and feeding facilities where cattle are completely hand or mechanically fed for the purpose of production (ARMCANZ, 1997). Feedlot operations consist of a number of activities including feedstock storage, feeding systems, animal housing, disposal of biological matter, waste removal/storage and waste treatment.

TEXAS LIVESTOCK DIRECTORY Texas remains the national leader in cattle production. It is home to some 14 million head of cattle and calves, more than double the number raised in the second-leading state. Cattle are found on more than 150,000 Texas farms and ranches, and sales of cattle and calves account for almost half of the state's agricultural cash receipts. Quantity is just one part of the state's cattle industry. Texas also offers an amazing selection. Beef Cattle Overview Raising cattle is a business and a way of life in Texas, where cattle production helped mold the state and bestow its identity. That same bold Lone Star tradition continues today. Texas remains the national leader in cattle production. It is home to some 14 million head of cattle and calves, more than double the number raised in the second-leading state. Cattle are found on more than 150,000 Texas farms and ranches, and sales of cattle and calves account for almost half of the state's agricultural cash receipts. Quantity is just one part of the state's cattle industry. Texas also offers an amazing selection. British and European (Bos Taurus) and the humped (Bos Indicus) species of tropical countries flourish in the state's diverse climate and terrain. In all, 38 breeds of the country's finest registered and purebred beef and dairy cattle are raised here. Selectively bred over a long period, each breed possesses a distinctive identity in color, size, conformation and function and has the prepotency to pass these traits on to progeny.
