Effect of different exogenous fatty acids on the cytosolic triacylglycerol content in bovine mammary cells (2018)
Journal Article
Vargas-Bello-Pérez, E., Loor, J. J., & Garnsworthy, P. C. (2018). Effect of different exogenous fatty acids on the cytosolic triacylglycerol content in bovine mammary cells. Animal Nutrition, 5(2), 202-208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aninu.2018.09.002

The objective of this study was to determine how cytosolic triacylglycerols (TAG) are stored in mammary cells and whether this depends on the individual chemical configuration of fatty acids (FA). This objective was accomplished by addition of differ... Read More about Effect of different exogenous fatty acids on the cytosolic triacylglycerol content in bovine mammary cells.

The environmental costs and benefits of high-yield farming (2018)
Journal Article
Balmford, A., Amano, T., Bartlett, H., Chadwick, D., Collins, A., Edwards, D., …Eisner, R. (2018). The environmental costs and benefits of high-yield farming. Nature Sustainability, 1(9), 477-485. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-018-0138-5

How we manage farming and food systems to meet rising demand is pivotal to the future of biodiversity. Extensive field data suggest that impacts on wild populations would be greatly reduced through boosting yields on existing farmland so as to spare...

Effect of olive oil in dairy cow diets on the fatty acid profile and sensory characteristics of cheese (2018)
Journal Article
Vargas-Bello-Pérez, E., Geldsetzer-Mendoza, C., Morales, S., Toro-Mujica, P., Fellenberg, M., Ibáñez, R., …Garnsworthy, P. (in press). Effect of olive oil in dairy cow diets on the fatty acid profile and sensory characteristics of cheese. International Dairy Journal, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.idairyj.2018.04.006

The effect of dietary unrefined olive oil (OO) residues and hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) on the fatty acid profiles of milk and cheese and the sensory characteristics of cheeses was determined. For 9 weeks, animals were fed a control diet with no... Read More about Effect of olive oil in dairy cow diets on the fatty acid profile and sensory characteristics of cheese.

Symposium review: Uncertainties in enteric methane inventories, measurement techniques, and prediction models (2018)
Journal Article
Hristov, A., Kebreab, E., Niu, M., Oh, J., Bannink, A., Bayat, A., …Yu, Z. (2018). Symposium review: Uncertainties in enteric methane inventories, measurement techniques, and prediction models. Journal of Dairy Science, 101(7), 6655-6674. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2017-13536

Ruminant production systems are important contributors to anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions, but there are large uncertainties in national and global livestock CH4 inventories. Sources of uncertainty in enteric CH4 emissions include animal invent...

Prediction of enteric methane production, yield and intensity in dairy cattle using an intercontinental database (2018)
Journal Article
Niu, M., Kebreab, E., Hristov, A. N., Oh, J., Arndt, C., Bannink, A., …Yu, Z. (2018). Prediction of enteric methane production, yield and intensity in dairy cattle using an intercontinental database. Global Change Biology, 24(8), https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.14094

Enteric methane (CH₄) production from cattle contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. Measurement of enteric CH₄ is complex, expensive and impractical at large scales; therefore, models are commonly used to predict CH₄ production. However, bui...

Effect of feeding system on enteric methane emissions from individual dairy cows on commercial farms (2018)
Journal Article
Eckert, M., Bell, M., Potterton, S., Craigon, J., Saunders, N., Wilcox, R., …Garnsworthy, P. (2018). Effect of feeding system on enteric methane emissions from individual dairy cows on commercial farms. Land, 7(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/land7010026

This study investigated the effects of feeding system on diurnal enteric methane (CH4) emissions from individual cows on commercial farms. Data were obtained from 830 cows across 12 farms, and data collated included production records, CH4 measuremen...

Does the diurnal pattern of enteric methane emissions from dairy cows change over time? (2018)
Journal Article
Bell, M., Craigon, J., Saunders, N., Goodman, J., & Garnsworthy, P. (2018). Does the diurnal pattern of enteric methane emissions from dairy cows change over time?. Animal, 12(10), 2065-2070. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731118000228

Diet manipulation and genetic selection are two important mitigation strategies for reducing enteric methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant livestock. The aim of this study was to assess whether the diurnal pattern of CH4 emissions from individual dai...
