The Farm At The Dene Animal Research Farm

The Animal Science discourse community is community that dedicates their studies in having an immense knowledge on animal health, animal behavior, farm management, and livestock production. For the reason that people keep animals in captivity for recreational, educational, experimental, production or breeding, people within the animal science discourse community believe it is important come to understand the well-being of the animals we depend on. The common goal within the people in this field is to get involved in the care of animals. In order to achieve this, individuals within the field put major emphasis on the data collected from their research, which they expect to share with other individuals such as people within the field and the outer world.

In 1896, François Camille Viguerie donated land for the building of a new Sacred Heart Church, and the family sold land for the Montegut School in 1912. François' sons, Albert Robert (A.R.) and Arthur Camille (A.C) operated Point Farm beginning in 1896. That year, François suffered a heart attack on board a train near Kansas City, while en route to Colorado with his daughter, Emma, and died in Kansas City, Kansas on May 15. Emma, suffering from consumption died in December of the same year. A.C. became manager of the plantation store, which survived many more years on the left bank of Bayou Terrebonne near Sacred Heart Church (1113 Highway 55) in Montegut. The 1897 Terrebonne Parish Directory recorded that Point Farm consisted of 450 acres

“Come prepared to stay forever.” Belle Gunness was a serial killer, between the years 1884-1908, that killed more than 40 people, men, women, and children, on her farm in La Porte, ID. She was known as The La Porte Black Widow, or The Mistress of Murder Farm. Many people in La Porte, ID grew up hearing the horror story of the Murder Farm at the end of McClung Rd. and its killer mistress. Belle Gunness was labeled “one of America’s most prolific serial killers”. A serial killer is a person who kills three or more people within a month.

Vet Ranch is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping homeless animals with medical conditions not only get better, but to find loving forever homes. They do most of their work on their Youtube channel - Vet Ranch. The Youtube channel was started in 2014 by Dr. Matt Carriker after posting a video of the progress of a dog that was hit and left by a car. Dr. Matt is a vet in San Antonio, Texas who created the website to make it easier for viewers that wanted to donate to help save animals. Although it started out with just Dr. Matt, Vet Ranch is now made up of four amazing veterinarians that include, Dr. Karri. Dr. Wendy, and Dr. Dave who help save animals lives. Vet Ranch has an effective non-profit organization website

Much of the diversity of Putney’s soils can be attributed to the movements of the Laurentide ice sheet that, 20,000 years ago, covered the region in several thousand feet of ice. As the glaciers proceeded south, they reconfigured the land’s surface layer by scraping away the existing soil. As the world’s climate warmed, the ice retreated, redepositing glacial till across the landscape. Topography played an integral role in the distribution of soil following glaciation. In the hills, this unsorted till, a collection of boulders, cobbles, gravel, sands, silt, and clay, began the slow process of pedogenisis (soil formation) as plants and animals brought life to this barren world. In the valleys, material was sorted by the water from the melting ice as it flowed down from the hills (Stewart 55). Below, in figure 1, the areas of unsorted till are represented in orange while areas of sorted sediment such as gravel, sand, outwashes,

Pollan goes on to explain how the evolution and change in our food of choice and diet of choice has significantly impacted our environment. Bringing up the different types of farming; factory farming, organic farms, industrial farms, grass farms, and mixed farms and the different beliefs and systems each of those farms have on their property and how they choose to farm their stock and the impact each of these systems has on the enviornment. Pollan visits multiple different types of farms and explains to us the different pros and cons each farm uses to take care of their produce and animals. A common theme has found

The meat industry today is not what it was nearly a century ago. While improvements are thought to have been made, an ever changing society has brought upon new problems that have been piled on to the previously existing ones. While these problems are not like those found in The Jungle, they do parallel how by exposing what is going on in the meat industry; new regulations would be the answer to the noted problems. The increased demand for meat has made it a rushed mutated production instead of a means to raise livestock for consumers. Taking into consideration the demand for cheap meat that will be used for in quick and high demanded products such as frozen and fast food, this demand of meat has greatly skyrocketed. Animals whose sole

Steve says, “I met ranchers and farmers dedicated to raising livestock and growing produce using responsible, respectful, and sustainable techniques. By partnering with these producers we have increased the amount of naturally raised meats and responsibly grown produce we purchase exponentially”.

Hydrosol is a very wet kind of soil and is saturated for the majority of the year, often located where former lake beds occur. Sudosol is more sodic than acidic, it is a Texture Contrast Soil and therefore there is a strong contrast between the surface and the subsoil. This is the most common type of soil in the Mallee region. Vertosols are soils which grow and shrink, causing cracking when the soil dries out. They occur along the creek and river beds as well as the broad plains of the Mallee. Along the coastlines of the Mallee are Calcarosol soils, they, unlike Sudosols and Vertosols, do not have a strong texture contrast throughout its layers. Lastly, two sandy soils have been identified in the Mallee region: Rudosol and Tenosol. Rudosols are very young and undeveloped soils and are widespread in the Big Desert and Sunset Country. Tenosols are also rather undeveloped and occur in the same areas as Rudosols. Tenosols generally have a ‘low water holding capacity and fertility’. Having a vast selection of soils can only mean that a vast selection of produce comes from the area.

Situation: We have to conduct on-farm trials in south-west Ontario to evaluate a limited set of agronomic, environmental and economic indicators under real world conditions. We had a very detailed/complex design for small plot research and wanted to repeat the similar experiment in farmers’ field…..but farmers’ were having problem in implementing/ conducting ‘on-farm’ research.

On October 5th, 2017, the class went on a farm tour at La Luna Dairy Farm. This was my first time being on a dairy farm and learning about the production of milk as I have never experienced anything like this. On the way to the farm, Courtney was driving and I was the navigator and at times we thought that we were lost because we were in the middle of nowhere. After missing one of the turns and looping back, we finally made it to the farm where the class was meeting. As soon as I open the door, the smell of manure assured me that I was in the right place. I could not get use to smell, however, at times I would be distracted that the smell was not bothersome to me anymore.

Is animal husbandry in Texas sustainable in relation to fresh water use and water contamination?
