The climate impact of animal agriculture is only one of the aspects that needs to be addressed for sustainable productions systems. The importance and urgency to mitigate methane emissions must be integrated with the social and economic aspects of livestock production and the other environmental issues such as nutrient management and biodiversity.  The current state of our food systems are the result of decades and even centuries of the choices people have made which will take time to change. When it comes to global warming methane is the emergency brake that can limit temperature rises in the short term. Methane from livestock is one of the global methane sources and a key focus of Sara Place's work.Over the last 12 months her team has collected and analysed samples from over 900 animals. This research showed over 30% variation in emissions from similar animals under similar conditions, the cause of which is yet to be understood. This huge variation is an opportunity to use selecting breeding to permanently lower livestock emission. However, to achieve this there will need to be a vast increase in the numbers of animals monitored. Sara Place  is an expert in livestock systems sustainability for AgNext at Colorado State University where she brings where she combines her methane mitigation work with her experience in all aspects of livestock sustainability across academia, industry associations, and private industry. I recently caught up with Sara to discuss his work. You can listen to the conversation here.AgNext at Colorado State University is wholly focused on researching, teaching and communicating their work on sustainable animal agriculture. 

Nine per cent of all green house gas emissions in the US are from Agriculture and cattle are responsible for 2%.  To identify the magnitude of the challenges, EPA does an annual inventory of the GHG contributions from each industry. In the effort to achieve carbon neutrality, Methane from cattle production has become a major target; however per capita consumption has already been declining for years while the population keeps growing, with corresponding demand for more meat in global diets.  Fortunately solutions are being found in programs like AgNext at Colorado State University where Dr. Sara Place is a Professor of Feedlot Systems. www.agnext.colostate.edu

Dr. Rosie Busch has sooooo many questions when it comes to the topic of sustainability. We've touched on this topic before, but in this episode Rosie gets to ask all of her burning questions to Dr. Sara Place with CSU and AgNext, one of the top researchers in her field.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Sara Place, an associate professor in Animal Sciences at Colorado State University and affiliated with Ag Next which is focused on sustainable solutions in animal agriculture, to discuss an exciting molecule called 3- nitrooxypropanoal or 3-NOP. Methane is the number one greenhouse gas (GHG) associated with dairy and beef production. The primary source of methanogenesis in beef and dairy cattle is the rumen. If we look at all activities associated with beef production, it is 3.7% of U.S. GHG emissions and about 2% for dairy. This includes enteric methane as well as feed, transportation, manure and other inputs. The primary driver of GHG in the U.S. is burning fossil fuels and release of CO2 into the atmosphere and not animal agriculture, however methane has 28 times the warming potential of CO2, but the half-life is only 10 years, much less than CO2. 3-NOP has a very specific mode of action in the rumen to competitively inhibit the last step of methanogenesis. Research has consistently shown that 3-NOP decreases rumen methanogenesis by 30% in dairy cattle and up to 50% in feedlot cattle. 3-NOP has a different mode of action to ionophores such as monensin. We discuss that 6% of the energy fed to dairy cows and 3.5% of the energy fed to beef cows is lost to methane. Research has not demonstrated an increase in milk production or dry matter intake, but it has had some impact on milk components. We also discuss the practical application of 3-NOP in dairy cows, pastoral beef systems, pre-weaned calves and its impact on future lifetime production of methane, and during the finishing phase of beef production. We also discuss that 3-NOP is a new concept with proven reductions in methane production but there is opportunity for future research to demonstrate potential benefits to producers, animals and consumers as well as the environment. Related publications: Summary of scientific papers from DSM on 3-nitrooxypropanoal DSM sustainability website Use of 3-nitrooxypropanol as feed additive for mitigating enteric methane emissions from ruminants: a meta-analysis The effects of feeding 3-nitrooxypropanol on methane emissions and productivity of Holstein cows in mid lactationA meta-analysis of effects of 3-nitrooxypropanol on methane production, yield, and intensity in dairy cattle Use of 3-nitrooxypropanol in a commercial feedlot to decrease enteric methane emissions from cattle fed a corn-based finishing diet    

Sustainability is about three things: economics, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. But how do you make that system better, rather than pitting ourselves against each other? That’s the message Dr. Sara Place, of Colorado State University (CSU), covered at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association conference being held this week at New Orleans, Louisiana. When looking...

On today's episode, John Ratzenberger sits down with Elanco's Dr. Sara Place to discuss how climate change is a hot topic today. Today we will take a deep dive into cattle's role in helping to nurture the earth. Join us for this week's episode of Nutra Blend's Animal Agriculture podcast! 

Chayei Sara | Place your Hand under my Thigh - Solving a Bereishit Riddle, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom When Avraham prepares to send his slave to find a wife for Yitzhak, he makes a curious demand of him: "Put your hand under my thigh" either as a prefatory act to an oath or as part of the oath itself. This request/demand appears in only one other place in Tanakh - when Yaakov has Yosef put his hand under his father's thigh before committing to bury his dying father in Canaan. What is the meaning of this odd practice? Is it rooted in near eastern oath customs? Connected to the Halakhic requirement of holding a sanctified item while swearing? Is it a sign of servitude? We survey the approaches of the Rishonim - including some surprising observations - and then offer a new wrinkle to solve this age-old conundrum.

Last month Elanco and Ducks Unlimited announced a partnership to emphasize the strong bond between environmental sustainability and agriculture – specifically beef cattle production – across North America. Over the next two years Elanco will invest $50,000 annually with Ducks Unlimited to help purchase grass seed to support reseeding efforts on working lands in western Kansas, enough to reseed at least 1,000 acres during the course of the project.The grassland restoration initiative is part of the existing SAFE (State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement) project. The SAFE project is an existing collaboration between the USDA Farm Service Agency and Ducks Unlimited with the goal of restoring grasslands and protecting embedded playa wetlands in western Kansas.How does this partnership relate to the sustainability of beef cattle production? And what is one of the world's leading animal health companies doing to help producers address consumer concerns about the overall environmental impact of livestock and meat production?In this episode we talk with Dr. Sara Place, Elanco's Chief Sustainability Officer, to answer those questions, and to get her take on ways the beef industry has improved its sustainability in recent years, and how producers can better communicate those improvements to a highly-engaged consuming public. Prior to joining Elanco, Dr. Place worked as senior director of sustainable beef production research at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, and was previously an assistant professor of sustainable beef production systems at Oklahoma State University. RELATED WEBINAR: A Pulse on the Beef Industry's Environmental Hoofprint: Sustainability & Policy Perspectives

This week, we're once again joined by the knowledgeable Dr. Sara Place. A few weeks ago, Bloomberg featured an article that talked about putting gas filter masks on dairy cows to cut greenhouse gas emissions. We talk over this new technology with Dr. Place and dive into if it's really a useful technology, as well as talk about how much greenhouse gas livestock agriculture is truly responsible for. We also discuss who the largest emitters out there are, and why focusing on livestock ag can be misleading in the greenhouse gas narratives.

Did you know methane is actually an odorless gas? Neither did we, until we sat down with this week's guest, Dr. Sara Place. An expert in cattle sustainability, Dr. Place discussed the Burger King ad that was released last week much to the chagrin of many in the agriculture industry. She highlights the tradeoff of being "cute" versus accurate in much of the marketing around food today, and really delves into how the ruminant animal works to provide humans with food from resources that would otherwise be unusable for us. This is a fun episode, with a lot of great takeaways and talking points. We tried not to get bogged down in the outrage that's surrounding the fast food chain's most recent ad. Dr. Place does an excellent job of helping us with that, and we hope you find this episode as enjoyable as we did. Dr. Sara Place Bio: Sara is the Chief Sustainability Officer at Elanco.

What is sustainability? What is the environmental impact of beef and dairy production in the US? What are the drivers of climate change? Dr. Sara Place is the Chief Sustainability Officer at Elanco Animal Health. Today we discuss greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), how cattle are a solution to providing a sustainable food source for humans, and why the Food and Agriculture Organization’s report on GHG production attributable to the beef and dairy industry is flawed. Cattle are the ultimate answer to sustainability by harnessing energy from the sun, utilizing human indigestible plants, and turning it into high quality digestible human protein. For more information, tune in to the AABP webinar with Dr. Place on this topic on July 28th. AABP webinar schedule can be found at this link. Find out more about Dr. Place here.

Ranching and rangelands are undergoing rapid and intertwined changes. Changes include ecological transitions due to climate and invasive species; land use transitions associated with urbanization and shifting priorities for public lands; demographic transitions reflected in the increasing average age and decreasing number of ranchers; and market transitions associated with changing consumer attitudes and globalized markets. Dr. Place discusses the importance of reconnecting consumers and food producers. Sara Place was recently a science advisor for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.

Dr. Sara Place works for the National Cattlemans Beef Association. She studies sustainability and keeps a benchmark at where the industry is at. She studies sustainable management of livestock production systems focusing on researching opportunities to improve the economic, social, and environmental facets of livestock production in concert. You can read many of her articles on cattle, sustainability and the climate. Follow her on Twitter @drsplace. If you want the true story on beef and the environment, you’ll love this episode. We even talk about quantifiable low stress environments for cattle and how to manage a herd in the gentlest way. One of the terms is animal “husbandry”. I even learned one out of seven ranchers is from Texas. So cool. She teaches at universities to dietitians, restaurant owners, chefs, small businesses, butchers and picks the best brains across the country in the cattle industry. There's a reason I never waste a bite of BBQ. Dr. Place is the ultimate defender of meat and the environment. She epitomizes the respect that people of the beef industry have for every animal. So enjoy this episode with Dr. Sara Place.

Hey hey, what’s going on healthy friends? Is everyone eating densely and moving intensely? People have been saying I should make shirts or stickers for that phrase. Anyone want to help design that? I want it to look really cool. Also for new people, or anyone really, I should quickly spell out what eating densely and moving intensely is. A nutrient dense diet with a full array of bioavailable nutrients and the least processing, sugar, and other antinutrients is what I’ve been exploring for the past 5 years and more intensely for the last 2. I’ve landed on the sapien diet which is really a framework that many good dietary strategies fit into. Go to sapien.org/diet to learn more. Moving instesley just means resistance training and high intensity stuff like sprinting. There’s nothing wrong with long cardio workouts if you enjoy them, I just don’t think they're that efficient timewise or for weight loss. Start back at episode one of this podcast if you haven't caught them all - you’ll be glad you did. So hard cut transition to today’s episode with Dr. Sara Place. She works in sustainable beef production research at National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. She did her PhD under Dr. Frank Mitloehner at UC Davis who’s awesome and was a guest on a very popular episode a few weeks back. She’ll also be presenting tons of information that goes counter to all the vegan propaganda you hear thrown around in mainstream media or the social media world. She works daily to improve the environmental impact of raising cattle. Beef producers also want to do this because they care for the environment just as much if not more than a vegan activist. It’s their livelihood. They care for animals, care for the land, and care about being efficient for the future of these as well as actually trying to make a few dollars off this challenging enterprise. Contrary to popular belief the meat industry gets zero subsidies from the government. Sara was kind enough to spend almost  2 hours answering all my questions, partly to help prepare me for the presentation I'm giving at the big food industry conference in Chicago at the end of September and the friendly debate with the vegan activist lady after. This really helped and I hope it will help you get the other side of these arguments you never get otherwise.

http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post   SHOW NOTES Sara Place received her PhD from UC Davis working under Dr. Frank Mitloehner studying animal agriculture  She currently works in sustainable beef production research at National Cattlemen’s Beef Association This association serves as a contractor to the Beef Checkoff Program which is a program that beef farmers and ranchers fund for research and promotion as it relates to beef in the US and part of that is sustainability which is what she manages www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/ Her research at UC Davis was measuring methane emission directly from cattle People think the beef industry is an evil empire, but there are people trying to improve the impact  [5:30] Its harder to find something more important than how are we going to nourish ourselves for the next few decades [6:30] only around 10% of cattle’s diet is edible to humans  Beef production in the US is based on grazing, forage of whole plants, and most are finished on grain  People assume cows spend their whole life in a feedlot but this is not the case [8:44] Most of the animals are primarily eating forage, almost all feed resources going into producing beef is mostly forage the stuff humans can’t eat  CO2 out of the air, is transformed through photosynthesis, carbon is captured in plants, and if we ate them we wouldn’t be able to access the energy, but ruminants can and they turn it into food, it’s a symbiotic relationship Beef production is not inefficient Feed for beef is not in competition with the human food supply  If we were to compare cattle, to pigs, to chicken, it would look like cows would look like they need a lot more feed resources but if we look at human edible feed inputs, cattle are consuming less than chicken and pigs or at least equivalent  Chickens and pigs are monogastric, they have to eat more energy dense feed and higher quality protein source  Ruminants can consume forage resources and have a symbiotic relationship with the microbes in their gut that ferment the material and convert it into something that the animal can absorb and metabolize This also plays into the feed efficiency when we look at what are human edible protein inputs going into the system vs outputs, this is where ruminants shine and are much more efficient than pigs or chickens, ruminants are the best from this standpoint  About 10% for US average of grain going to cattle but another 7-8% is from byproduct feed that humans can’t consume  [15:47] Cattles take this waste product and upcycle into something of worth  The plant based vs animal based foods dichotomy is false because it doesn’t take into consideration how agriculture works Plant and animal agriculture is integrated  Plant-based companies are indirectly supporting animal agriculture There are farms that integrate animal and plant agriculture together (for example, 1 acre of land producing corn and also supporting cattle for part of the year) A lot of corn is grown to make ethanol and then cows can eat the byproducts of this  Crops today are far more efficient (higher yield for less space) 38% of all domestic corn use in the US goes towards corn ethanol production for fuel and the same amount goes to all livestock, beef cattle is around 10% of this Cattle accounts for about 8 million acres of corn, that’s about 2% of US cropland acres [24:43] We generate more human protein by taking that corn and running it through cattle to generate beef than consuming that corn directly  If we look at the whole US cattle system we generate two times more high quality protein than goes into the cattle themselves  We have to ask the question “What’s the alternative?” Soy as an alternative protein source wouldn’t produce more protein per acre than cattle [28:55] These discussions are too far from reality because we have to consider what the actual alternative would be, and where corn is grown, a common alternative would be in fact a corn-soy rotation this is reality we’re not going to start growing quinoa or something similar If we remove the cattle industry we lose grasslands and these grasslands play a crucial role in the environment and in ecosystems  [31:14] We could have a much smaller land footprint by producing a certain crop but we are degrading the soil over time so it’s not a durable or resilient system, so is that better?  We’ve lost the connection between the reality of the human animal bond and just the fact that human beings are part of the cycle You can visit beefitswhatsfordinner.com to see 360 degree videos of feedlots  Feedlot operators are proud of what they do, and the perception that its evil crushes them  Feedlot practices are a lot better than what is represented online  There are PhD researchers who formulate the diets of these animals to make it as efficient as possible it’s much more precise than human nutrition  The reality is that the resources in North America are lots of forage as well as all this byproduct from processing grain crops and so feeding it to animals makes sense The majority of people live in cities and suburban areas so efficient food production is needed to feed everyone We have gotten more efficient, the number of cattle in a herd today is the same size as it was in 1953 but we produce far more beef and milk with these cattle It is not perfect but we are doing the best we can  Cattle and livestock are more than just food, they are a source of livelihood for people, they cycle nutrients, they provide all sorts of byproducts, we even use cow material in medicine (heart valve replacements) The life cycle assessments are calculated inappropriately  [46:45] Eliminating livestock in the US wouldn’t solve anything We are avoiding micronutrient deficiencies when we eat animal-sourced foods  82% of the cattle’s feed comes from grass and forage, 7% from by products and 11% from grains  The best source is USDA to find out % use for each US commodity Most of the beef raised in the US are family-run operations, even the feedlots If you want to consume grass-fed beef that’s awesome, but there isn’t substantial evidence to say that grain-fed isn’t healthy When animals go to a packing plant, they are screened for antibiotics and hormones so there is no contamination in the human food supply  Dairy is very highly regulated and is tested rigorously for antibiotics In the US we have a very safe food supply  The FDA came out with a regulatory directive over two years ago that you cannot feed antibiotics to livestock for growth promotion but you can for disease prevention They give antibiotic doses based on body weight, it is very precise, and they make sure to give a withdrawal period before going for slaughter where for human medicine the doctor will prescribe antibiotics in dosing that is the same for someone that weighs a lot more than you  Fossil fuels are a lot worse than the methane produced from cattle On the GHG issue, remember that according to the EPA cattle contribute only 2% of GHG emissions most coming from methane Cattle numbers are stable in the US for the last decade or so but methane is increasing so we can’t point our fingers at cattle If we put all our hopes to fix climate change by eating our way out of it, unfortunately all our hopes will be lost  If we look at the potential impact of climate change, we do not want to pigeon ourselves into a less diverse agricultural system The government does not directly subsidize beef production in the US it is 100% funded by the farmers and ranchers There is a small group of researchers that kind of just cite each other to create consensus but there is a large amount of data showing the benefit of animal based foods, there is no consensus Beef consumption in the US is going down  All of the food security challenges are happening in developing countries and we should be helping them out to improve  A lot of this privileged conversation is coming from the US and Europe and doesn’t take into consideration the other growing countries  There are so many people depending on animals for livelihood, food, power, etc.  If we want to make a big difference in climate change, changing your diet is not the way to do it  Fake meats and lab-grown meat is not the solution  We already have solar powered plant-based meat, it’s called beef.

Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, Wisconsin Corn Growers Association, Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association and The Water Council thank Senator Rob Cowles and Representative Joel Kitchens for authoring the “Pollution Prevention Partnership – Wisconsin's Trading Marketplace” legislation (LRB-1244). The “Pollution Prevention Partnership – Wisconsin's Trading Marketplace” legislation will further encourage farmer participation and implementation of additional practices and technologies designed to reduce nonpoint source pollution by allowing for the private sector to develop an economically sustainable system for farmers, industry and municipalities to engage in cooperative efforts to reduce water pollution in Wisconsin. Pam Jahnke visited with Representative Kitchens about the legislation and how momentum is building on all water quality issues. Dr. Sara Place from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association highlights the difference between news headlines, what consumers say about plant based protein, versus what they DO at the grocery store.

“When it comes to sustainability, we need to think about the entire food system, not just the environmental footprints of individual foods. I encourage people to dig deeper into discussions of sustainable nutrition. For example, the social aspect of sustainability is critical and often ignored. Does advice to purchase one type of food or product meet someone’s budget, preferences, food culture?  We also need to look carefully at the entire food supply chain. At NCBA, we are trying to account for any and all impacts along the supply chain, right down to how many little pieces of paper are used between hamburger patties at ground beef processing facilities.” – Dr. Sara Place, Animal Scientist Tune in as I talk with Dr. Place about the environmental, social and economic impacts of livestock production systems, what ‘upcycling’ is and where ‘cow gas’ really comes from.   Get the full shownotes and resources at www.SoundBitesRD.com/104.
