NZ scientists seek solutions to livestock emissions

Tucked away in rural New Zealand, a multimillion dollar research facility is working to slash the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere by farm animals. Cattle and sheep are kept in perspex pens for two days per session as scientists carefully analyze every burp and fart that emerges from them at the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre. “I never thought I’d make my living measuring the gas that comes out of animals’ breath,” facility director Harry Clark told reporters. The UN says that agricultural livestock accounts for 14.5 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activity and the center

PETA calls for humane mouse cull in Australia

"We want to remind everybody that mice do feel pain and fear. So, if they must be killed, it's really only the most ethical and right thing to do, to do it as quickly and as painlessly as possible," PETA's spokesperson Aleesha Naxakis said on Friday (May 28).The region has been battling a mice plague for several months after heavy rains in recent years relieved the country's worst drought in 50 years. The wet weather not only helped produce the country's largest ever grain crop but also provided ample food to mice.New South Wales state in May offered farmers free bait to deal with the problem, but the size of the outbreak has led to calls on the government to allow the use of bromadiolone, a toxic poison currently banned in Australia.However, some farmers and environmentalists warn of unintended consequences to native animals. Animal welfare activists like Naxakis believed the government needs to think of better solutions to deal with the crisis.

Zaaki, the horse on everyone's lips, but how did he get here?

Zaaki, the horse on everyone’s lips, but how did he get here? By Bruce Clark 03:37am • 24 May 2021 So how do you go about buying the hottest box office star in Australia racing right now? Well you have to call Stu Boman in Newmarket, England and ask him how he landed on Saturday’s jaw dropping Doomben Cup winner Zaaki from the Tattersall’s Autumn Horses In Training Sale last year. Over four long days, there were 1625 lots catalogued, in all shapes, sizes, ages and budgets. Aussies were prevalent on the settling sheet, but there was Lot 706, signed for in a private sale by Blandford Bloodstock, that’s who Boman works for, and Annabel Neasham for 150,000 Guineas. (That’s a quaint English currency so in this short history lesson a guinea equals £1,1s (one pound and one shilling). This is the same as £1.05 in modern money, it was used to price luxury items like cars, suits and jewellery to make them seem less expensive.

NSW Govt Brings Back Strongest Rodent Pesticide to Combat Mouse Plague

NSW Govt Brings Back Strongest Rodent Pesticide to Combat Mouse Plague The New South Wales (NSW) government has secured 5000 litres of bromadiolone, one of the world’s strongest pesticides against rodents, as part of a $50 million (US$38.8 million) ‘mouse trap’ package to help farmers combat the ongoing mouse plague. The chemical, which has been banned from outdoor usage since 2017, is currently awaiting approval from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) before it is distributed to farmers. “Experts will treat growers’ grain with bromadiolone completely free of charge to build a mice-free fortress to protect paddocks,” Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said in a statement. “When used in conjunction with in-field zinc phosphide baiting, farmers will have a multi-layered defense against the rodents.”
