As with humans, feeding ultra-processed diets to rats "induced increased body weight, abdominal circumference and total and visceral adiposity, as well as hyperglycaemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hyperleptinemia"
Three areas should be addressed: (1) Transparency needs to be improved for the goal setting and road mapping, (2) the industry needs to engage with stakeholders on the difficult nature of the process, and (3) maintain science first decision frameworks

In this just published article we argue that an "expert-led" dietary technocracy (EAT-Lancet-style) would be both totalitarian & catastrophic. Let's keep on fighting for human-appropriate diets & freedom on the plate.
Please read it (it's long, I know)

“given the similarity of the results, we implore the discussion around landscape-level impacts to shift away from GHG emissions and focus on desired ecological or economic outcomes”

"These results suggest a limited ability to predict enteric CH4 by steers during the finishing phase. Further efforts are required to generate sensitive models to accurately predict enteric CH4 emissions in finishing steers"

Our new pub on cattle methane emissions ranking - are cattle that are low methane emitters on high forage diets still low methane emitters on high grain diets? We observed in this group of cattle, the answer is no.
This week on Cattle Chat Dr. Marshall Stewart is back to discuss K-State's partnership with Garden City Community College. Our student Liana also tells us about her research and the experts answer a listener question.

AgNext Doctoral Student and @SOGES_CSU Fellow, Ashley Schilling-Hazlett, recently wrote this blog discussing sustainability in cattle production. Read the full blog here: loom.ly/la9-J5Y
Science in action. Looking at the effects of different diets on methane emissions, cattle growth, and feed intake. Third time most of these steers have had methane emissions measured in their life.
Today, we had Dan Borrenpohl talking about biochar and vegetable-grazing interaction, Cassie on GHG emission in flooded grazing systems, and Ricardo on C sequestration in pastures @ASA_CSSA_SSSA@cassies201@Ribeiro_RH@emanoellaotav#SASLab
Last week was the #EmiLi conference in Valencia, Spain emiliconference.com/ with very interesting topics! I presented on strategies and challenges when reintegrating livestock and crops in a circular way to reduce their environmental footprint 🌱♻️💩 @relive_eranet
Check out this article from @FeedNavigator where @DrKimStackhouse discusses the partnership between @CSUAgNext and @Cargill to study feedlot cattle emissions and advance sustainability in the animal agriculture industry.
Cargill-backed research at Colorado State University is looking at the effects of ionophores, supplemental fat, and grain processing on methane emissions from feedlot cattle—and the potential of these strategies when combined.bit.ly/4dipnXs@Cargill@ColoradoStateU
The latest episode of the AgNext Podcast is available now! Join JR (@Kamper54) and Pedro (@pedrocattle) as they sit down with @DrKimStackhouse and @AnnaShadbolt to discuss an innovative resource developed by the AgNext team: The Grazing Principles.
