America's livestock and poultry production are impacted by changes in climate. This web based collection of information has been developed for dairy, beef, swine, broiler, layer, and turkey farmers and ranchers on the topics of climate change, carbon footprints, greenhouse gases, and effects of climatic changes.
OUR GOAL IS TO:
- Provide science based information to make decisions that result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions without sacrificing America’s capacity to produce meat, milk, eggs and other animal products
- Assist producers in adapting production systems to maintain animal health and performance in the face of changing climatic conditions
TOPICS TO DISCOVER:
|
What are greenhouse gases and how do they relate to livestock & poultry operations?
How are operations better managed to get through changes in weather trends or extreme events?
