Variability in Enteric Methane Emissions among Dairy Cows during Lactation (2022)
Journal Article
Hardan, A., Garnsworthy, P. C., & Bell, M. J. (2022). Variability in Enteric Methane Emissions among Dairy Cows during Lactation. Animals, 13(1), Article 157. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani13010157

The aim of this study was to investigate variability in enteric CH4 emission rate and emissions per unit of milk across lactations among dairy cows on commercial farms in the UK. A total of 105,701 CH4 spot measurements were obtained from 2206 mostly... Read More about Variability in Enteric Methane Emissions among Dairy Cows during Lactation.

Evaluation of rumen protected rapeseed expeller (NovaPro) as an alternative to soya bean meal in dairy cow diets (2021)
Journal Article
Garnsworthy, P. C., Saunders, N., Goodman, J. R., & Marsden, M. (2021). Evaluation of rumen protected rapeseed expeller (NovaPro) as an alternative to soya bean meal in dairy cow diets. Animal Feed Science and Technology, 273, Article 114816. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2021.114816

There are environmental, social and economic pressures to reduce the use of soya bean meal in ruminant diets by using alternative protein sources, such as those derived from rapeseed. A new protected form of rapeseed (NovaPro) has been developed to p...

Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows (2021)
Journal Article
Garnsworthy, P. C., Marsden, M., Goodman, J. R., & Saunders, N. (2021). Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows. Animals, 11(1), Article 70. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani11010070

Dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) from bioethanol production can replace soya in diets for dairy cows, but optimum inclusion level of European wheat-DDGS (wDDGS) is unknown. Two batches of wDDGS from different UK bioethanol plants were fe... Read More about Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows.

This compelling new study forms part of a new wave of scholarship on the medieval rural environment in which the focus moves beyond purely socio-economic concerns to incorporate the lived experience of peasants. For too long, the principal intellectu... Read More about Peasant Perspectives on the Medieval Landscape: A study of three communities.

CFD multiphase modelling of the acetone condensation and evaporation process in a horizontal circular tube (2019)
Journal Article
Mohammed, H. I., Giddings, D., Walker, G. S., & Power, H. (2019). CFD multiphase modelling of the acetone condensation and evaporation process in a horizontal circular tube. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 134, 1159-1170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2019.02.062

With increasing demands on energy efficiency, the use of low grade waste heat using vapour absorption refrigeration systems (VARS) are receiving renewed interest. One idea is to use the combination of acetone and zinc bromide as the salt solution, wh...
