Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shanna Ivey"
- Shanna Ivey's research highlights concerns about the accumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in dairy cattle, revealing that while certain PFCA compounds do not bioaccumulate, longer-chain PFSAs do persist in cattle plasma and skin when exposed to contaminated feed and water sources.
- In another study, Ivey reviews emerging technologies aimed at assessing the environmental impact of feedlot systems for beef cattle, emphasizing the importance of evaluating factors such as feed intake, methane emissions, and overall greenhouse gas outputs from livestock production.
- Her work collectively underscores the need for further research on both the health implications of PFAS in livestock and innovative methods to reduce the environmental footprint of animal agriculture.
