Findings from US research will give heart to cattle farmers worldwide
The fight against misinformation claiming livestock is the biggest cause of climate change was ratcheted up at last week’s Alltech One 19 conference in the US.
The defence of ruminants was led by Frank Mitloehner, PhD, professor and air quality specialist for the Department of Animal Science at the University of California Davis, and his presentation of new facts from carbon footprint lifecycle assessment by the US Department of Agriculture’s research service, and the Beef Checkoff (which uses its funding from the beef industry for research and promotion).
