Farms with livestock have the advantage of being able to supply manure, which has many of the nutrients required for crop production, to their fields. To protect water quality and use these nutrients to support crop growth, manure has to be applied with consideration for timing, method, and rate.
By Judith L Capper, and Roger A Cady. Although milk yield per cow has increased over the past decade, whole-system environmental impact analyses have not been conducted over this time. The objective of this study was to compare the environmental impact of U.S. dairy cattle production in 2007–2017.
Nitrogen interception technology recycles ground water in areas where, because of soil type and other conditions and where manure effluent is being land-applied, there is a danger of elevated groundwater nitrate levels. This technology uses shallow wells in fields that receive wastewater to intercept nitrogen and reuse it for irrigation.
An excellent video produced by Washington State University that highlights two of the innovative ways that the dairy industry is working to address the environmental issues it is facing using new technologies that create usable products and reduce their costs.
Researchers provide a comprehensive review of current enteric methane mitigation options to improve the carbon footprint of ruminant food products. The paper highlights the opportunities and barriers to the implementation of the current available options as well as the economic, regulatory, and societal aspects that are key to implementation.
