关于我们
Simply put, we must better understand the role of agriculture in nourishing our world. At the same time, we need to know where to focus our attention for a healthy climate and environment. That is where the Clarity and Leadership for Environmental Awareness and Research Center – or CLEAR Center – comes in. The CLEAR Center is led by Dr. Frank Mitloehner and based in the Department of Animal Science, in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis. The CLEAR Center uses its two cores, research and communications, to help animal agriculture operate more efficiently in order to meet the demands of a growing population and lessen its impact on the environment and climate. Research topics, among others, include quantifying and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. Dr. Mitloehner is a UC Cooperative Extension specialist. UC Cooperative Extension is best described as a vast network of UC researchers and educators who work together to develop and provide science-based information to solve locally-relevant economic, agricultural, natural resource, youth development and nutrition issues. The CLEAR Center, while still building foundational support, is funded through State of California agencies, UC Davis, UCANR and philanthropy. Dr. Mitloehner’s position is funded through the University of California. He splits his time teaching, researching, and engaging with the public and animal agriculture sector as part of Cooperative Extension. The CLEAR Center received a philanthropic gift from Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER), which is the public charity of the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA). IFEEDER is committed to furthering the industry’s commitment to environmental stewardship. IFEEDER’s support does not impact the CLEAR Center’s research.

I had a great time chatting with Dr. Miranda Smit of the Prairie Swine Center about Prop 12 and sow welfare on the Swine It podcast. Enjoy on Spotify or YouTube!?
In this special episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, to celebrate International Women's Day, Dr. Kristina Horback, from UC Davis, breaks down the impact of Proposition 12 on sow housing and welfare. She discusses what the new requirements mean for producers, the challenges of compliance, and practical strategies for managing group-housed sows while minimizing aggression and maintaining productivity.

There’s a reason why pig farmers use slatted floors for manure management. By storing manure in this 8-foot pit system and analyzing nutrient composition, they're able to apply manure nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium exactly where needed, improving crop production and reducing waste on farm.??????

Managing manure properly isn’t just about compliance, it’s about minimizing environmental impacts and making better use of valuable nutrients on farm. ?? Not only do swine farmers prioritize manure management practices for a more sustainable operation, but for the well-being of their animals. Healthier pigs, better productivity and improved welfare.????
