There are many uses for dairy products and the latest is turning a cheese byproduct into a biodegradable, compostable and versatile bioplastic. Ruihong Zhang, a professor in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at UC Davis, is focusing his recent research on using microorganisms to produce PHAs (polyhydroxyalkanoates) at a low cost from dairy byproducts.

Today, it is estimated that more than 60% of the dairy-origin cattle entering feedlots have been replaced by beef × dairy crossbred calves. These calves are coming at a time when the beef industry and supply chain need them as calf numbers are at an all-time low, while the demand for beef continues to grow. Based on market data averages from the Overland Stock Yard, Cattle Marketing Services, and Superior Livestock Auction, the average weekly price of steer calves in June was $124.84 higher than heifer calves. Looking at this trend further, the premium for steers in feeder cattle markets over a 3-month rolling average was over $110 per head on 500-pound calves.
