The Canadian Meat Council is raising concerns about ongoing delays in shipping product to buyers in the United States.
 
The U.S. country-of-origin labelling program is no longer in effect, but it can be a challenge getting meat shipments to the final destination.
 
An average of 77 truckloads of Canadian meat are screened by border officials every day.

Measuring Methane Emissions From Cattle with Unique Technologies

Video: Measuring Methane Emissions From Cattle with Unique Technologies

PhD Student Madison Kindberg, and Air Quality Specialist and Professor, Dr. Frank Mitloehner explain the unique Cattle Pen Enclosures and how they will capture emissions from cattle using state of the art technology. The enclosures are well equipped with one-way airflow fans, smart scales, and smart feeds that can tell you what an animal ate, when they ate and how much they ate. All enclosures are connected to one mobile air quality lab which uses gas monitors and analyzers to collect precision data. This data will be used to determine if an early-life methane reducing bolus can reduce emissions from cattle long-term.
