Learned control of urinary reflexes in cattle to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Nitrous Oxide Is No Laughing Matter: A Historical Review of Nitrous Oxide Gas-Sensing Capabilities Highlighting the Need for Further Exploration

“…This entertaining and surprising approach was in-latrine training of livestock to readily capture and treat excreta rather than it entering the environment, water table, and N cycle, thus resulting in a significant reduction of NH 3 emissions. 5 Anthropogenic N 2 O is not a simple issue and will require innumerable minds inventing and testing novel ideas and working together to address small portions of the larger problem. An overview of GHG types is shown in Figure 2a, and additional N 2 O sources are pictured in Figure 2b.…”

“…Therefore, in attempts to mitigate the impact of anthropogenic contributions to the nitrogen cycle (N cycle), there exist such unique solutions as the “MooLoo”. This entertaining and surprising approach was in-latrine training of livestock to readily capture and treat excreta rather than it entering the environment, water table, and N cycle, thus resulting in a significant reduction of NH 3 emissions . Anthropogenic N 2 O is not a simple issue and will require innumerable minds inventing and testing novel ideas and working together to address small portions of the larger problem.…”

Modeling the environmental impacts of Asparagopsis as feed, a cow toilet and slurry acidification in two synthetic dairy farms

“…Collecting higher volumes might technically not be feasible. Comparable approaches to cow toilet are in development [ 91 ].…”

The Potential Benefits of N2 Gas Flushing Technology for Various Dairy Products: A Sustainable Approach That Proved to Be Multiadvantageous for Preserving the Quality and Safety of Raw Milk During Its Storage

“…Multiple ways of addressing sustainability exist in dairies, namely, the improvement of production efficiency, the promotion of farm best practice interventions, the protection of carbon sinks (forests and grasslands), the development of a circular bioeconomy, and the modification of feeding practices, including remarkable cattle training (FAO and GDP, 2019;Laca et al, 2020;Dirksen et al, 2021). The sustainability of dairy farms should not be dissociated from their profitability, as a tight interlink exists between economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainability; it was shown, at the farm level, that economic sustainability is crucial to achieving social and environmental survival in the medium and longer term (Britt et al, 2018;Bánkuti et al, 2020;Feil et al, 2020).…”
