Excerpt from Recommendations of the Bureau of Animal Industry on Problems of Livestock Production: Prepared for the Information of Livestock Owners, Agricultural Writers, County Agents, Livestock Specialists, the Meat Trade, Bureau Employees and Others Interested in the Betterment of the Livestock Industry Bloating - Losses due to bloating of livestock - usually cattle and Sheep - are preventable by proper management. Bloating is most commonly caused by turning hungry stock on to succulent pasture, such as clover or alfalfa. If the pasture is moist from rain, dew, or frost, the danger is greater. Prevention lies in giving the animals a liberal feed Of hay before admitting them to the pasture. Restricting the length of grazing time is another means. In serious cases the use of a trocar, by a qualified veterinarian, for puncturing the paunch to remove the gas is advisable to prevent suffocation.

A search of the literature reveals few references to critical tests of anthelmintics for the removal of thorn-headed worms from swine. In spite of the considerable economic importance of this parasite little attention has apparently been paid to treatment.

By 2050 the world's population is projected to grow by one-third, reaching between 9 and 10 billion. With globalization and expected growth in global affluence, a substantial increase in per capita meat, dairy, and fish consumption is also anticipated. The demand for calories from animal products will nearly double, highlighting the critical importance of the world's animal agriculture system. Meeting the nutritional needs of this population and its demand for animal products will require a significant investment of resources as well as policy changes that are supportive of agricultural production. Ensuring sustainable agricultural growth will be essential to addressing this global challenge to food security. Critical Role of Animal Science Research in Food Security and Sustainability identifies areas of research and development, technology, and resource needs for research in the field of animal agriculture, both nationally and internationally. This report assesses the global demand for products of animal origin in 2050 within the framework of ensuring global food security; evaluates how climate change and natural resource constraints may impact the ability to meet future global demand for animal products in sustainable production systems; and identifies factors that may impact the ability of the United States to meet demand for animal products, including the need for trained human capital, product safety and quality, and effective communication and adoption of new knowledge, information, and technologies. The agricultural sector worldwide faces numerous daunting challenges that will require innovations, new technologies, and new ways of approaching agriculture if the food, feed, and fiber needs of the global population are to be met. The recommendations of Critical Role of Animal Science Research in Food Security and Sustainability will inform a new roadmap for animal science research to meet the challenges of sustainable animal production in the 21st century.

Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.
