Researchers project long-term effects of climate change, deforestation on Himalayan mountain basins
2015-10-20 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: As part of an multi-disciplinary study, a team of Baylor researchers found that climatic changes, an increase in agricultural land use and population growth in the Himalaya Mountain basins could have negative impacts on water availability, further stressing a region plagued by natural disasters and food insecurity. The study--"Projected hydrologic changes in monsoon-dominated Himalaya Mountain basins with changing climate and deforestation"--is published in the Journal of Hydrology. Using a sophisticated...

The Day After Tomorrow Ice Age Scenario Could Be Possible, Researchers Say
2015-10-16 18:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Two separate and very different studies have confirmed a climate paradox--that global warming and a slowdown in the Atlantic Ocean currents could trigger climate change and bring a prolonged chill in Europe. One researcher argues that not only could it happen, it must have happened every 1,500 years or so during the last Ice Age and that the transitions were complete within one to two centuries. Another scientist has used the latest climate model to test what would happen if the Atlantic current...
Researchers Find New Ways to Optimise Feed Efficiency in Pigs
2015-10-16 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
SPAIN - Feeding accounts for around 70 per cent of animal production costs. Feed Conversion Efficiency (FCE) is one of the key factors in cost-efficiency of production and, for this reason, European scientists are working on the ECO-FCE project, aimed at proposing strategies to optimise feed efficiency in monogastrics, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen and phosphorus excretion.

Researchers identify mutations that led to pigs that lack immune systems
2015-10-15 21:00:00| National Hog Farmer
In collaboration with researchers at Kansas State University, ISU scientists first identified pigs with SCID around four years ago as part of an ongoing study of feed efficiency in pork production and the impact of infectious disease read more
