145. Nitrate Poisoning In Cattle, Sheep And Goats Under normal conditions, nitrate ingested by ruminant livestock like cattle, sheep and goats is converted to ammonia in the rumen by bacteria. http://www.uwex.edu/ces/forage/pubs/nitrate.htm

NITRATE POISONING IN CATTLE, SHEEP AND GOATS Dan Undersander, Dave Combs, Terry Howard, Randy Shaver, Mike Siemens, and Dave Thomas Nitrate poisoning is a condition which may affect ruminants consuming certain forages or water that contain an excessive amount of nitrate. Causes of Nitrate Poisoning Under normal conditions, nitrate ingested by ruminant livestock like cattle, sheep and goats is converted to ammonia in the rumen by bacteria. The steps of conversion in this process are as follows: Bacterial Protein Nitrate is converted to nitrite faster than nitrite is converted to ammonia. Consequently, when higher than normal amounts of nitrate are consumed, an accumulation of nitrite may occur in the rumen. Nitrite then will be absorbed into the bloodstream and will cause hemoglobin to be converted to methemoglobin, which is unable to transport oxygen. Thus, when an animal dies from nitrate poisoning, it is due to a lack of oxygen. Nitrates are less toxic to ruminants than nitrites. Fortunately, nitrites do not occur in feed or water in nearly as high concentrations as nitrates. The occurrence of nitrate poisoning is difficult to predict because nitrate levels can change rapidly in plants and the toxicity of nitrate varies greatly among livestock of various age, health status, and diets.

Embryo transfer techniques allow top quality females to have a greater influence on the genetic advancement of a herd or flock in much the same way that artificial insemination has allowed greater use of superior sires. Continuing improvements to techniques mean the advancement of artificial breeding can be gained by virtually any livestock breeder - stud or commercial. Brecon Breeders will readily provide expert advice on the best ways to use artificial breeding in specific situations. In most cases, artificial breeding programs can be carried out either on-farm or at the company's South Australian headquarters. Detailed instructions on the preparation of animals for such programs are available.

Contact Us Front Page New Zealand Tries to Cap Gaseous Sheep Burps By John Roach for National Geographic News May 13, 2002 New Zealand scientists trying to curb their country's influence on global warming may have found an answer to belch about: Livestock that eat plants high in condensed tannins produce up to 16 percent less methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Tannins are the yellow-brown chemical compounds found in many plants and give red wine its distinctive flavor. Methane is one of the three most potent gases that some scientists say are causing the Earth to warm up at an accelerated and unnatural rate. Carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels is the most common greenhouse gas in the world. "New Zealand is unique in that over 50 percent of its greenhouse gas emissions arise from methane released by enteric fermentation," said Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. Enteric fermentation is methane produced as part of the normal digestive process of animals, such as cows and sheep. It is primarily released in the form of burps.

156. Livestock Handler's Safety Cattle, horses, sheep and pigs are common livestock species in Colorado. Accidents caused by livestock every year account for a significant number of the deaths and injuries to people. http://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/LIVESTK/01813.html

@import "/styles/coopext_adv.css"; no. 1.813 Livestock Handler's Safety by M. Legault, A. Swinker and T. Grandin Quick Facts... More people get killed by horses in Colorado than any other species of livestock. Reducing animal stress during handling improves productivity and performance, while improving handler safety and animal welfare. Cattle, horses and sheep have more sensitive hearing at high frequencies than humans. Avoid loud or novel noises they distress livestock and can result in balking and agitation. Cattle, horses, sheep and pigs are common livestock species in Colorado. Llamas and ostriches are two of the few exotic livestock species. Accidents caused by livestock every year account for a significant number of the deaths and injuries to people. These deaths and injuries are related to recreation and work. Over the last 10 years, Colorado reported 19 deaths due to horses, four due to cattle and one due to sheep. Both experienced and inexperienced handlers were killed. Intact males of any species pose the greatest threat. The second most dangerous animals are females with young offspring. For every death there are approximately 100 to 400 disabling injuries reported. Disabling injuries, as defined by the National Safety Council, are those that result in lost time (one day or more) from work or a trip to the hospital. Figure 1: The circle represents the edge of the flight zone. The handler should work on the edge of the flight zone. Move to position A to make the animal move forward and to position B to make the animal stop. A sheep's visual field varies from 191 to 320 degrees, depending on the amount of wool on the head. Stay within the shaded area; farther forward will force the sheep to move back.
