Isoacid supplementation influences feed sorting, chewing behaviors, and enteric methane emissions differentially in mid-lactation dairy cows depending on dietary forage level by M.R.A. Redoy, S. Ahmed, M. Bulnes, D.H. Kleinschmit, M.E. Uddin

“…ABSTRACT: Past studies have shown that isoacids (ISO) improve dairy cow performance, with effects varying based on dietary forage levels, leading us to speculate that ISO supplementation may also differentially affect enteric methane (CH4) emissions depending on dietary forage levels. …”

East Asian Welfare Regimes 東アジア福祉制度 by Joseph Wong, Andrew DeWit, Ito Peng

“…The pressure is also being ramped up by the apparently inexorable post-peak oil rise in conventional energy and other resource costs, not to mention the increasingly unstable US dollar-based global financial architecture. And Japan’s unparalleled public sector debt-dependent model of offering seemingly endless life-support for vested interests seems to warrant a special category of its own. …”
