The objectives were to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and cutoff values of a visual-based precision livestock technology (NUtrack), sensitivity specificity sickness score data collected with live observation by trained human observers. At weaning, pigs (n = 192; gilts barrows) randomly assigned one twelve pens (16/pen) treatments pens. Sham-pen all received subcutaneous saline (3 mL). For LPS-pen pigs, lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 300 μg/kg BW; E. coli O111:B4; in 3 mL saline). last...
Abstract Agricultural activities are the major anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (N2O), an important greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance. However, role forage conservation as a potential N2O has rarely been studied. We investigated production from simulated silage three crops—maize, alfalfa, sorghum—used for in United States, which comprises over 90% total production. Our findings revealed that substantial could be generated, potentially placing third largest agricultural...
