California’s Efforts to Reduce Greenhouse Gases from Dairy and Livestock Operations
This webinar discusses two programs in California, administered through the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), that provide financial incentives to dairy and livestock producers to reduce methane emissions from on-farm manure management. This presentation was originally broadcast on August 16, 2019.…
Recent Research Efforts to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This webinar discusses research projects focused on reducing greenhouse gases, odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. This presentation was originally broadcast on June 21, 2019. More……
Reduction and fate of manure pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance is a complex issue as it is comprised of not only pathogenic bacteria, but also non-pathogens which share genes within complex environmental systems, such as agricultural fields. This webinar describes potential measures to reduce pathogen and antimicrobial resistance in manure as well as potential fate and transport of manure pathogens and antimicrobial resistance following land application of manure.…
Three Options for Cleaning Barn Exhaust Air
Reducing aerial emissions and improving air quality is a common goal in the livestock and poultry industries. This webinar presents three approaches to reducing aerial emissions from barn exhaust air, using combinations of wet scrubbing, electrostatic precipitation, filtration and enhanced dispersion.…
Separation Technologies for Capturing Nutrients from Manure
Exporting phosphorus and possibly nitrogen from larger livestock operations as well as regions of large livestock populations is often essential for protecting water quality. Solids (and nutrient) separation technologies are an option for concentrating nutrients for export. This webinar introduces three approaches to solids separation that are being applied in commercial settings.…
Intersections of Environmental Management and Biosecurity in Animal Agriculture
This webinar addresses manure sampling challenges in a different species and recommendations to reduce sampling error. This presentation was originally broadcast on December 14, 2018. More……
