Avoids Quotes
In Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, the government in a matter of years has put a lot of energy behind recycling food waste as livestock feed. It's environmentally friendly, it provides cheap livestock feed for the farmers in those parts of the world, and it avoids sending the food waste to landfill.

Attention Quotes
I'm a huge supporter of animal rights - and I've been an outspoken critic of the cruelties routinely inflicted on livestock at factory farms. But it really bothers me that the mistreatment of pigs and chickens and cows seems to attract a lot more attention and spark a lot more outrage than the abuse of immigrant workers.

Animals Quotes
Ironically, these rains bring little respite. While they have alleviated the immediate need for water, there is increased risk of people falling sick from drinking contaminated water, while livestock deaths have continued because the animals are too weak and vulnerable to diseases such as pneumonia when temperatures drop at night.

Air Quotes
We have worked with a steering committee that represents organizations and stakeholders with a vested interest in this project. The committee members want to further the knowledge of the current technologies to reduce air emissions and odor levels in livestock operations. The Wisconsin DNR will also begin in 2007 to implement regulations related to air emissions from livestock operations.

Area Quotes
We have nothing (in Randolph County) to prevent their construction. The area planning commission is the key. We've tried to get an ordinance passed. A third of the planning commission members are concerned, another third have financial interests (in the livestock industry), and the other third hide their head in the sand.

Days Quotes
We could actually use more livestock from a nutrient point of view. With good equipment and trucks we are able to transport farther. Injection (into the soil) reduces odors and runoff, and conserves on nitrogen fertilizer by preventing loss by evaporation, but the narrow application window is difficult. It could be only three weeks for some individual farms and 60 days overall, primarily in fall after harvest.

Additional Quotes
Downward trend does not automatically justify a reduction in stocking rate. There are very few public land allotments that are overstocked. But there are many that have poor livestock distribution. If so, there are a number of alternatives to get better distribution, such as additional water developments, changes in fence and/or salt locations or a change in the grazing system.

Average Quotes
Fertilizer costs are up big-time, and fuel costs went from $13,000 to $19,000 (for an average farm), and that's a huge increase. The concern is, what happens if we don't get that bumper crop next year? It's not likely that livestock is going to continue to be as profitable as it was last year.
-
Across Quotes
Think about the amount of energy it takes a person to walk across a nice, dry, grassy area versus a field of mud. The same is true for livestock. Also, livestock may be huddled up under a tree to escape the rain and aren't coming to the feeding area. It may be a challenge to get enough nutrients into them.

Air Quotes
This is the first data being collected anywhere in the country under a new national air quality monitoring program. Monitoring at other locations will get under way in 2006, but we're setting the stage for future poultry and other livestock production facility air emissions monitoring under this program.

Again Quotes
It's important to realize that all six cases of 'mad cow disease' identified in North America have involved downed animals. These animals, which are sick, diseased, or injured livestock incapable of supporting their own body weight, are many times more likely to carry diseases like this into our food supply. It's critical that Congress do what it can to prevent this contamination, and that these animals be dealt with humanely. I'm proud to once again join my colleague, Rep. Ackerman, in sponsoring this measure.

Beyond Quotes
However, if bird flu results in a permanent reduction in world poultry production, an increase in red meat production might eventually be required, resulting in increased feed consumption in the long term. Domestic demand prospects also remain strong due to increasing livestock production and expanding ethanol production. These developments should support increased corn consumption well beyond the 2005-06 marketing year.
