Changes in photoperiod during the dry period impact colostrum production in Holstein and Jersey cows by K.J. Alward, A.J. Duncan, A.D. Ealy, G.E. Dahl, C.S. Petersson-Wolfe, R.R. Cockrum

“…ABSTRACT: Multiparous Holstein cows exposed to short-day photoperiod (SDPP) of 8 h of light per day during their dry period produced up to 3.2 kg more milk per day compared with cows exposed to long-day photoperiod (LDPP) of 16 h of light per day; it is unknown if a similar response would be observed for Jersey cow milk production. …”

Health and economic cost estimates of short-term total and wildfire PM2.5 exposure on work loss: using the consecutive California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data 2015–2018 by Michael Jerrett, Yu Yu, Ying-Ying Meng, Diane Garcia-Gonzales, Mohammad Z Al-Hamdan, Miriam E Marlier, Joseph L Wilkins, Ninez Ponce

“…Wildfire smoke alone could contribute to 0.7–2.6 million work-loss days with a related economic loss of $129–521 million per year in 2015–2018. Using the function coefficient in the current BenMAP, the excess work-loss days due to sickness was about 250 000 days and the estimated economic loss was about $45–50 million for each 1 µg/m3 increase in daily total PM2.5 exposure, and wildfire smoke alone would lead to 0.17–0.67 million work-loss days with related economic loss of $31–128 million per year during the same period.Conclusions Both conventional and wildfire-specific sources of PM2.5 produced substantial work loss and cost in California. …”
