In collaboration with farmers, researchers found that emission intensities from New York state dairy farms were lower per gallon of milk than national estimates and among the lowest reported across continents.
Knowing the duration and timing of when migratingmallard ducks – natural carriers of avian influenza – stop and rest can help predict the probability that they will infect backyard poultry flocks.
