This edition contains papers from the recent conference entitled “Conferencia Internacional Ensminger para la Ganadería”. This conference was devoted to livestock production in Honduras and Latin America and featured ten presentations about cattle production by scientists from the United States, Canada and Colombia. The talks, and subsequent papers published in this issue, included information on beef and dairy cattle nutrition, health, reproduction, genetics, biotechnology and their applications for small holders. The conference was held May 13-14, 2016 at Zamorano University in Honduras and attended by nearly 300 livestock producers, industry personnel, students and faculty. The conference was jointly planned by Zamorano University and the Iowa State University as part of the Ensminger International Livestock Program. It also received financial support from various industry groups such as Inversiones MORAVIA, Soluciones Logísticas RAFEM, Grupo ALIANSA, ANAVIH and ZINPRO.

A unique porcine circovirus type 2 capsid protein (ORF2) sequence was detected in swine samples submitted to the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. The complete genome sequences of four viruses, one from Mexico and three from the United States, were determined to further characterize this novel PCV2 genotype.

Commute Time

Research of travel behaviors of university students is of theoretical and empirical importance. The literature, however, has paid little attention to mode choice of students at college towns. This study aims to specifically explore influence factors of the mode choice of college town students. After conducting a survey of commuter students at Iowa State University, a college-town university in the United States, the study uses both simple statistics and advanced statistical models (e.g., multinomial logit and nested logit models) to analyze the data and produces findings to confirm and test existing knowledge and to gain new insights. Firstly, students at a college town are more likely to adopt greener (non-driving-alone) modes, especially walking, to commute compared to their counterparts at urban universities; this is as revealed in the literature. Secondly, students may use “bundled services” to fulfill their travel needs. The students who prioritized rent affordability in housing choice tend to live in proximity to bus stops and are more likely to ride buses. Lastly, commuter students who do not drive alone to school tend to prefer a residence with transit proximity. Moreover, students who reside in proximity to transit and who reported “peer effects” would use non-driving modes more if commute time was shortened.
