Bringing clarity to the relationship between livestock and the environment. Led by Dr. Frank Mitloehner.
We have eight bovine bubbles at UC Davis that are used to conduct large-scale studies on group-housed cattle.

They're equipped with smart scales & smart feeds that track individual feed intake & weight of animals part of our early-life intervention study. 🐂

Giving calves a bolus early in life can potentially set the stage for lower methane emissions throughout their lifetime. 💊 🐂

It's an exciting time here, with our team working around the clock to collect data and advance livestock sustainability research.

Yesterday we shared a podcast showcasing how farmers & ranchers drive sustainability, innovation & feed the nation. 🗣️

Brandon Lee, a pig farmer on Hawaii's Big Island, uses rotational grazing to keep land & animals healthy. Say it, see it – when we talk about ag, we show it. 🌺 🐖

Happy #PorkMonth! Biosecurity is the first line of defense that keeps pigs healthy, prevents costly losses, and helps farms stay financially viable. At UC Davis, barn managers, students and visitors take it seriously – it's a culture that protects both animals and farmers. 🐖
