It increased by 17%over the previous quarter to $4. 8 billion, according to a 20 october Moneytree Report by Pricewaterhousecoopers and the National Venture capital Association, based on data from Thomson Reuters. The clean-technology sector,
Thomson Reuters Point Carbonprices for allowances to emit a tonne of carbon dioxide on Europe s carbon-trading market are likely to remain low until 2020,
and rightfully so might hold beef to an even higher standard of excellence said Dan Thomson Kansas State university veterinarian professor and director of the Beef cattle Institute.
Beef is one of the purest most wholesome and most humanely raised forms of protein that we produce worldwide Thomson said.
K-State researchers including Thomson are among the many researchers who are examining how beta-agonists affect cattle performance
We're going to learn more about the last 30 days on feed Thomson said of research on beta-agonists.
Thomson said that because the slow-moving cattle reports were more consistent during the summer months he has questioned how heat stress
This isn't a new phenomenon Thomson said. We've seen this in other species. The swine industry 15 to 20 years ago discovered pig fatigue syndrome.
Thomson said many in the swine industry started calling these pigs NANI pigs meaning non-ambulatory non-injured.
and they don't have any clinical signs of injury besides that they don't move Thomson said.
Regardless of beta-agonist use in feeding pigs Thomson said the swine industry went from having about a 250-lb. average out weight to a 300-lb. average out weight on market hogs.
They were able to recreate the same syndrome that we're now seeing in some cattle Thomson said.
since cut the dose of beta-agonists in feeding by about 75 percent Thomson said.
what cattle fatigue syndrome is said Thomson but the reason more research must be done is that like the NANI pigs the syndrome has shown up in cattle that were fed a beta-agonist
but an increase in heart rate by about 10 beats per minute and no difference in lactate or CPK levels Thomson said.
Moving forward Thomson said the industry needs to better-understand the clinical and physiological responses of beta-agonists in cattle
and responsibility and we don't take it lightly Thomson said. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by Kansas State university Research and Extension.
