Composted Cattle Manure Increases Microbial Activity and Soil Fertility More Than Composted Swine Manure in a Submerged Rice Paddy

Livestock waste composts with minimum inorganic fertilizer as a soil amendment in low-input intensive farming are a feasible agricultural practice to improve soil fertility and productivity and to mitigate soil degradation. The key benefits of the practice rely on the activities of soil microorganisms. However, the role of different livestock composts [composted cattle manure (CCM) vs. composte...

Methane and Protein from Beef Cattle Manure

In vitro fertilization in cattle: a review.

In vitro maturation and fertilization of cattle oocytes and subsequent in vitro culture of zygotes and embryos is discussed in the context of recent encouraging data. Mass production of embryos produced in this way in the future will have a great impact on animal production and animal breeding plans, for example the so-called MO-ET (multiple ovulation and embryo transfer) plan which aims at est...

Factors Affecting Fertilization in Estrous Synchronized Cattle

Introduction In addition to the requirements for healthy well-managed cattle and the sound application of synchronizing drugs, many other factors can also play a role in determining the success of an AI – estrous synchronization program. Considering the economic investment in semen and drugs, the success of such a program must be judged on the basis of pregnancy rate to the first artificial ins...
