Ammonia control best management practices
"There is growing interest in odor and gaseous emissions from livestock operations because of concern about global warming and enforcement of the Clean Air Act. This bulletin provides and evaluates best management practices for the control of ammonia lost to the air on dairy farms. Benefits are based on an approximation of ammonia emissions using currently available information. There are likely to be significant variations with region of the country, climate, and management of the dairy cattle housing system."--P. 1.Reviewed August 2009. Reviewed December 2013.

Nonstructural carbohydrates in cool-season grasses
"This 2-year project has been helpful in characterizing nonstructural carbohydrates in cool-season grasses. We have learned a lot about the normal fluctuations seen across environments and, more specifically, variations due to genetic differences. The main conclusions are:
1. Percentages of nonstructural carbohydrate are highly variable throughout the growing season and between species and varieties of cool-season forage grasses.
2. Growth rate may affect the level of TNC in cool-season forage grasses.
3. Consistently, orchard grasses contained lower levels of TNC and had higher DM yields than ryegrasses.
4. Grasses bred in Europe to emphasize nonstructural carbohydrates are higher in sugars than the average of the population found in the U.S."--ConclusionsPublished June 2007. Reviewed December 2014.

Owning a dairy cow or goat
People living in the suburbs and owning a small acreage often select dairy cattle or dairy goats as a means of harvesting and using their forage. Milk production can reduce the family grocery bill. Goats, especially, will help control brush and weeds and keep the area from becoming unsightly.Published October 2001. Facts and recommendations in this publication may no longer be valid.
