Genetic study to target bovine babesiosis in cattle
Bovine babesiosis, or cattle fever, was once one of the worst diseases afflicting the U.S. livestock industry. Although the tick-borne parasite Babesia bovis was largely eradicated in the mid-20th century through a systematic U.S. Department of Agriculture program to eliminate the ticks, bovine babesiosis remains endemic in Mexico, where more than 60% of beef calves have been exposed to Babesia parasites, according to Northern Arizona University (NAU).
As ticks develop resistance to pesticides, however, and infected stray cattle move across the border, the disease is at risk of being reintroduced into cattle populations in southern Texas. There is no vaccine for bovine babesiosis, which causes anemia, fever and death in 70-90% of adult cattle that were not exposed to the parasite as calves. Virtually all U.S. cattle are naïve to the parasite, which makes them highly susceptible, NAU said.

Study finds organic milk market remains highly consolidated
The organic milk market is poised to maintain a healthy growth rate during the 2018-2028 period, as steadily growing awareness among consumers in the last decade translates into commercial opportunities for companies.
This finding is according to a research study conducted by Fact.MR, an independent market intelligence firm with headquarters in Dublin, Ireland.

Amp Americas opens largest dairy renewable natural gas project
Renewable Dairy Fuels (RDF), a business unit of Amp Americas, announced Oct. 16 that its second biogas facility producing renewable natural gas (RNG) from dairy waste is now operational and has begun delivering RNG into the NIPSCO natural gas pipeline system to be used as transportation fuel.
The facility is located in Jasper County, Ind., and is now the largest dairy project of its kind in the country, RDF said.
The Jasper County site will convert 945 tons of manure per day generated from 16,000 head of milking cows from the Bos, Herrema and Windy Ridge dairy farms into 100% renewable transportation fuel. The new facility is 50% larger than RDF's first operation at Fair Oaks Farms in Indiana, which has been on line since 2011 and was the first dairy biogas-to-transportation fuel project in the country, the announcement said.

Changing manure management could
significantly reduce dairy methane emissions
New research published in the Journal of Dairy Science finds that changing the way manure is stored and handled is key to meeting California's 40% dairy manure methane reduction goal and combating climate change.
With financial support from Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and cooperation from the Dairy Cares coalition, scientists worked together to produce the most thorough, detailed measurements of "whole-dairy" methane emissions in California to date, according to the announcement from EDF.
The results confirm that manure methane emissions come primarily from wet storage of manure, a valuable insight for measuring and controlling methane emissions.
