2017-18 Annual Impacts

1. Arkansas: Work continued on understanding the technical details of anaerobic digestion of poultry litter. The work focused on determining the relationship between total solids and digestion efficiency and the free ammonia concentration that inhibited poultry litter digestion. The results will give poultry producers the ability to generate renewable energy and options for handing poultry litter.
2. California: An improved chopped forage sampling protocol was developed. Educational programs improved the understanding of the forage sampling protocol and the variability in nutrient accounting. The improved protocol and the greater understanding will improve nutrient management planning and water quality.
3. Iowa: Thirty eight swine lagoons were covered for methane capture and development of biomass-to-methane anaerobic digestion. Over 5000 livestock producer learned about how to change manure application rates to maximize nitrogen use.
4. Michigan: Demonstrated an enhanced soil phosphorus holding capacity index for evaluating the site-specific effectiveness of best management practices.
5. Minnesota: More data related to beef manure nutrient fertilizer value and losses, and barn environment conditions was collected to build a stronger information base for decisions made by producers, government staff, private industry, and University/Extension members. Biosecurity is important for animal producers large and small. Over 300 people have been directly reached with the Biosecure Entry Education Trailer.
6. Nebraska: The Manure and Soil Health (MaSH) program held roundtables, published three whiter papers and a blog. The 383 roundtable participants influence decisions on more than 48,000 total farms over a one-year period. Eighty seven percent of the round table participants indicated that they gained new knowledge or knowledge that added value to what they already knew. The overall impact of the MaSH program will lead to changes in manure and soil management practices.

• North Dakota: Research results have improved our understanding of gaseous emissions from swine manure and how emissions can be managed using nanoparticles. The results will lead to new technologies for managing gas emissions and odors from swine operations.

• Texas: Research results have improved our understanding of nitrous oxide emissions from beef cattle feed yards and open-lot dairy operations. The results will potentially lead to new targeted mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for feedlots. The work was related to CLD node B15 and air quality.

Overall Project Impacts 2013-18

1. Finding and using the best available data is an ongoing challenge. A successful webinar series exposed project members to modelling and data sharing experiences in the crop production sector, which resulted in collaborations that incorporated livestock manure data in these existing databases.
2. Challenges that sustainable animal production systems need to address in the future need the next generation of social and physical scientists to be capable of dealing with problems that involve trans-disciplinary environments and analyses. Multiple S-1032 members are leaders and participants of a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project to develop a virtual resource center supporting research and education in the interdisciplinary field of Food, Energy, and Water Systems (IFEWS-ER). The IFEWS-ER transdisciplinary virtual resource center will engage graduate students from multiple institutions to address complex problems in food, energy and water systems. Faculty can develop Toolbox Modules or submit Cohort Challenges. Faculty and students participating in the project are developing the skills and experiences to address complex multidisciplinary problems in sustainable animal production.
3. Uniform terminology with clear definitions is essential when working across disciplinary lines and multiple stakeholders. S-1032 project members collaborated with researchers around the world using multimedia to better understand data dictionaries, data sharing and the USDA digital data commons library. The knowledge gained produced harmonized definitions for a data dictionary that applies across multidisciplinary groups. The uniform terminology will allow data users to access much more data and more reliable data for analysis and use to enhance sustainable protein production systems.
4. Understanding manure generation and land application data quality and its variability is essential for balancing nutrients for crop production and protecting groundwater quality. Multiple S-1032 members conducted research, developed online tools and held educational events for producers, government staff, industry, and University/Extension members to improve crop and manure sample collection, feedstuff and manure nutrient assessment and land application information. These efforts will improve the practices used for nutrient management and protecting surface and groundwater resources.
5. Land applying manure impacts nutrient retention, crop use, soil health and air quality. Comprehensive literature reviews, numerous research projects and educational programs were conducted by S-1032 members and collaborators from multiple states. The information gathered has identified critical factors and improved the global scientific understanding of the fate and transport of nutrients, pathogens, and pharmaceuticals applied to crops. Literature reviews helped to quantify runoff risks under winter conditions.
6. Odors and other gaseous emissions from animal feeding operations and land applied manures continue to be sources of conflict. S-1032 members and international collaborators conducted a literature review and numerous research studies to test techniques to reduce gaseous emissions. Studies involved using nanoparticles, a soybean based manure pit additive, biochar, black light, ultraviolet light, vegetative environmental buffers, and a microbial-mineral treatment. Technically successful and economical techniques were identified. Development of field-scale studies continues.
7. Food security is a critical concern for millions of people around the world. Data on over 50 variables from sources around the world, including the World Bank, were analyzed to identify national conditions and resources such as biome strength, political capital, economic capital, infrastructure and natural resources that impact food productivity and security. Results indicated that agricultural productivity did not determine food security/insecurity. Biome strength, political capital as well as economics impacted food security. Internal corruption and external forces were factors too. Food security for millions of people can be improved by stable democratic governments and programs that reduce food waste.
8. Animal manures can be mixed with other organic wastes to generate renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. S-1032 members have developed and maintain online tools to inventory biomass materials and energy modeling to support renewable energy production in Michigan. The suite of tools can model the economic, renewable energy production, and greenhouse gas emissions reduction from blended feedstocks.
9. Poultry raised on litter are an important sustainable protein source. The litter is a potential resource for generating renewable energy if optimal conditions for anaerobic digestion can be identified. S-1032 members have conducted numerous studies to identify the carbon to nitrogen ratios, total solids levels and free ammonia nitrogen concentrations to enhance methane gas production. Research results are anticipated to lead to the development of on-farm anaerobic digestion of poultry litter for generating renewable energy and nutrient recycling.
10. Effective biosecurity practices and rapid disease diagnosis is critical to maintaining a safe and continuous food supply. S-1032 members have developed and offered educational programs on biosecurity practices to reduce disease outbreaks and spread. An S-1032 member collaborated with scientists with the National Animal Disease Center and the National Wildlife Research Center to identify biomarkers for important infectious diseases. Fast and non-invasive disease detection can improve animal-side diagnostics to better identify and manage important infectious diseases in animal feeding operations.
