ScienceDaily: Improving crop yields using sustainable methods could cut greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 12% per calorie produced according to a new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. At the same time, these changes could provide more food to people in need. Agriculture and land use change contributed about 1/3 of total human greenhouse gas emissions in the past decade, through crop cultivation, animal production, and deforestation. By producing more food on less land, it may...

Consider Tradeoffs When Replacing Soybean Meal in Swine Diets
2013-02-28 18:44:00| National Hog Farmer
Source: University ofI Illinois Swine nutritionist Hans Stein of the University of Illinois says canola, cottonseed, and sunflower products can replace soybean meal in swine diets, but they contain less protein and energy. To determine if it makes economic sense to use them, producers need to know the concentrations and digestibility of the nutrients they contain. To help them make the decision, Stein and his team of researchers examined amino acid digestibility for these products. read more
