LiveM_Macsur_Bilbao_2014
This document summarizes the work of the Senegal Dairy Genetics project. It discusses the importance of dairy for food security and livelihoods in Senegal. The project's objectives are to identify and promote the most appropriate dairy breeds. Key 2014 achievements included a longitudinal survey comparing milk yields of different breeds and an analysis of the dairy germplasm production system. The project also conducted capacity building activities like farmer training and supported students. Upcoming work will include cost-benefit analyses, recommendations to strengthen the dairy industry, and disseminating results.
1) The global dairy market is projected to experience continued demand growth of around 2.5% annually due to increasing populations, urbanization, and rising incomes in developing countries. This will outpace global milk supply growth.
2) Dairygold is well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in this growing global market by sourcing milk locally from its cooperative members and supplying dairy products globally. It plans to increase its processing capacity and milk volume handled by over 23 million liters by 2020 through strategic expansion projects.
3) The increased volumes are expected to generate an additional €200 million in revenue for Dairygold milk suppliers and €350 million for the wider community, realizing opportunities for growth in a sustainable manner.
Presentations from a session held during the 2013 National Mastitis Council Annual Meeting provide a brief overview of milk quality from various dairy industries across the globe. Includes demographics, milk quality parameters, and other unique practices from Colombia, Italy, Spain, Uruguay, Chile, Germany, New Zealand, United States, Canada, and Great Britain.
This document summarizes a proposed milk quality tracking and tracing system (MQT&T) and quality based milk payment system (QBMPS) for Happy Cow Ltd in Kenya. Historical data showed high bacterial counts, somatic cell counts, and antibiotic residues in milk supplied to Happy Cow. The MQT&T aims to identify quality issues at different collection points to enable corrective actions. A QBMPS would incentivize farmers to deliver high quality milk by basing payment on quality. The document outlines pilot interventions like building collection point labs and training graders and farmers on quality standards.

The document discusses global dairy trends and perspectives for African dairy farming. It summarizes that world milk and feed prices strongly influence milk supply. While Africa has an 88% self-sufficiency in milk production, demand is growing due to population and economic factors. Local milk production in Africa is increasing significantly to meet demand. Milk production costs in Africa are competitive due to lower input costs for land and labor compared to other regions. There is good potential for continued dairy growth in Africa.
New developments in the Dutch dairy sectorHenk Hogeveen
This was the opening presentation I gave at the 2014 Congress of the LIvestock Health and Production Group of the South African Veterinary Association. The organization asked me to give an overview of recent developments in the Dutch dairy sector. i have chose to pick three developments that are, in my opinion, interesting for veterinarians: 1. the ongoing automation of the sector, 2. the abolisment of the quota system (and a little background) and 3. the reduced use of antibiotics.

This study analyzed milk flow curves and milkability traits in 544 Sarda sheep across different farms, parities, and lactation stages. The milk flow curves were classified into three types: single peak (P1), double peak (P2), and long plateau (PL). Ewes with a PL curve produced significantly more milk than those with a P1 curve. While P1 curves had the highest milk flow rate and shortest milking time, PL curves had the minimum blind time indicating overmilking. Monitoring milk flow curves can help optimize milking practices to reduce stress on udders and improve herd health.
The science and quality of new zealand dairyLaurence Eyres
New Zealand's dairy industry produces high quality dairy products through a culture of quality across the supply chain. Milk is produced by over 1,600 grass-fed dairy farms and processed within 48 hours at state-of-the-art facilities. Strict standards and testing at independent laboratories ensure products meet regulatory requirements and are safe and nutritious for international export, including to China. New Zealand has a long history of dairy research and innovation to improve technologies, quality, and nutrition of dairy products.
The document discusses factors that cause variations in the composition of milk. It describes how milk composition can vary depending on breed, stage of lactation, age of the animal, season, feeding practices, and other environmental factors. Precise measurement of milk composition is important for determining its value and suitability for processing into different dairy products. The density of milk is measured using a lactometer to calculate total solids and milk solids-not-fat content, which can be influenced by temperature, homogenization, sterilization, and dilution.
IRJET- Quality Monitoring of Instant Whole Milk Powder using Various Control ...IRJET Journal
This document discusses quality monitoring of instant whole milk powder using various control methods. It summarizes the composition of instant whole milk powder and describes using a simulation software to model the production process. The document focuses on using statistical process control charts, design of experiments, and principal component analysis as quality control attributes to monitor key parameters like total solids content and moisture level and ensure the milk powder meets industrial standards. It presents sample data from running the simulation while varying temperature parameters to generate control charts for statistical process control.
This document summarizes a system called FLOCKMAN that uses precision livestock farming to more efficiently raise chickens. It analyzes chicken growth in real-time and continuously adjusts their feed intake to keep them on a target growth curve. Field trials show FLOCKMAN increases profit by 5 cents per bird through improved feed conversion ratio, increased production efficiency, and higher margins over feed costs. FLOCKMAN has been successfully used on over 2.2 million birds internationally and provides benefits like better chicken health and welfare with a quick return on investment.
Implementing a Sustainable “ Food and Fuel ” System in Jatropha Plantation Ma...SIANI
Thomro Biofuels implements a sustainable "food and fuel" system for Jatropha plantations that addresses major cost centers like weeding, pollination, pests/disease by incorporating livestock and poultry which provide additional food and income sources while improving yields. This integrated approach makes Jatropha products competitive with fossil fuels and provides more revenue from management activities than Jatropha alone. The system is concluded to be a win-win that supports both biofuels and agriculture industries.
Livestock sector, especially dairy sector has played greater role in galvanizing rural economy. Milk has become major source of revenue generation in rural India. Dairy sector is a shield to farmers in years of agriculture crop failure/distress.
Milk and dairy products are nowadays important components of our diet Composition of raw milk determines –nutritional value –technological property – farmer’s milk price Therefore the composition of milk is of great importance for both farmers and dairy industry.
Milk consumption in Pakistan is 159 liters per person per year, which is among the highest in developing world (FAO). The demand for milk is increasing every year. Moreover, in big cities quality of milk is becoming a primary focus of the consumers. Currently, most of the milk (app. 80-85%) comes from small scale dairy farmers (herd sizer < 30 animals), however, a significant increase in medium and large dairy herds is observed in past decade. The increasing feed and other inputs prices are putting pressure on the dairy producers and a careful assessment of the cost of milk was required. The current survey was conducted in the district Lahore with the 5 different types of producers. We hope that outcomes of this project will be useful for the institutions and private sector to design strategies that will support farmers. We are hopeful that the dairy producers and technical service providers will also find these results interesting and will use them to design there KPIs and targets to improve efficiencies.

Danish farmers have significantly invested in automatic milking systems (AMS) in recent years, with 22% of herds and 27% of cows using AMS as of late 2009. Data from AMS provides a large data bank that can provide insights for genetic improvement goals. Denmark will analyze AMS data starting in 2010 to improve genetic evaluations for traits like milking speed and develop breeding values for cow suitability to AMS. This will help increase genetic gains for functional traits like health and fertility. A pilot project has collected AMS data, which will systematically be collected from April 2010 onwards to help breeding organizations.
Cristina Giosue proposes Donkey Milk for Italy--includes fascinating analyses of milk's energy content and systematic feedback analysis of animal husbandry.
The document discusses milk and dairy foods. It defines milk and provides the average chemical composition of milk which is 87.3% water, 3.7% fat, 3.4% protein, 4.9% lactose, and 0.7% ash. It also discusses the different types of milk produced by various mammalian species and cow breeds, as well as grades of milk. Further, it describes milk processing steps like filtering, storage, pasteurization, homogenization, and packaging. It also summarizes various fluid milk products, butter and powder, cheeses, fermented dairy foods, ice cream and frozen desserts.

The structure and competiveness of uganda’s dairy exports (2)Alexander Decker
This document analyzes the structure and competitiveness of Uganda's dairy exports. It finds that Uganda's dairy exports are highly concentrated on one product (milk and cream) and heavily reliant on one export market (Kenya, which imports 80% of Uganda's milk and cream exports). While Uganda's milk and cream exports to Kenya are growing impressively at 43% and 17% annually, the country's exports are also concentrated in a few stagnating or declining markets like DRC and Sudan that account for a small share of total dairy exports. The document examines Uganda's export market shares and competitiveness in key markets to determine whether the country's dairy export earnings are sustainable.
This document discusses a solution from Avebe to improve the efficiency of producing fresh cheese and strained yoghurt. Traditionally, these products are made by separating acid whey from milk, resulting in only 25% of the milk being used. Avebe's solution uses a potato-based ingredient called Etenia that allows the full 100% of milk to be used without separating out acid whey. This doubles the amount of final product. Sensory tests found no difference in taste or texture between the traditional and Avebe methods. The Avebe solution is also more sustainable and can reduce costs by 15-30% through increased yields.
This document provides an overview of the global milk production industry. It discusses the types and composition of milk from different animal species. It also covers topics like global animal numbers and milk yields, the volume of milk production worldwide and by region, common regulatory regimes for the dairy industry, and factors that determine milk quality. The document is intended to help agribusiness professionals and investors understand the basics of the global milk sector.
Growth trends and potential for crop and livestock productivity essp2
1) Agriculture contributes significantly to Ethiopia's economy and growth, accounting for 45% of GDP and 30.5% of GDP growth between 2004-2015. Crop output contributed 31% of GDP and livestock contributed 10%.
2) Livestock numbers have grown rapidly, with cattle growing at 3.8% annually on average. However, livestock productivity has stagnated, with milk and egg output per animal remaining largely unchanged.
3) Use of improved feeds and veterinary services has increased but remains relatively low, indicating potential for intensification and productivity growth in the livestock sector.

Este documento discute las limitaciones de las políticas de compensación de biodiversidad. Argumenta que (1) los ecosistemas son sistemas complejos irremplazables debido a su singularidad y complejidad; (2) las políticas de compensación se centran en medidas simples que no capturan toda la complejidad de los ecosistemas; y (3) no consideran pérdidas ecológicas, normativas y morales como valores intrínsecos y culturales que no son fácilmente sustituibles.
This document discusses the European Union's biofuels policy and its role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. It outlines that transportation accounts for about a third of EU energy consumption and a quarter of emissions. The EU has promoted biofuels since 2000 to help decarbonize transportation, reaching a consumption level of 5-6% of liquid fuels. However, controversies have emerged around indirect land use changes from biofuel production and potential competition with food crops. In response, the EU adopted a new directive in 2015 to address these issues and better account for indirect emissions in its sustainability criteria for biofuels.

This presentation created and addressed by Gonzalo Saenz de Miera in the intensive three day course from the BC3, Basque Centre for Climate Change and UPV/EHU (University of the Basque Country) on Climate Change in the Uda Ikastaroak Framework.
The objective of the BC3 Summer School is to offer an updated and multidisciplinary view of the ongoing trends in climate change research. The BC3 Summer School is organized in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country and is a high quality and excellent summer course gathering leading experts in the field and students from top universities and research centres worldwide.
This document outlines two approaches to international decision-making on climate change mitigation: a top-down "global problem-global solution" approach and a bottom-up "clumsy solutions" approach. It then discusses what each approach may achieve. The top-down approach can set agendas and build knowledge but struggles with veto players and polarization. The bottom-up approach assumes countries will cooperate in clusters if initiatives match their interests and capabilities. Agent-based modeling is proposed to study how cooperation may emerge from the bottom-up. Preliminary findings suggest climate clubs covering substantial emissions can form under some conditions, though universal participation requires strong assumptions. A single large emitter initiating strong incentives could catalyze more cooperation.
This document discusses the role of energy in mitigating and adapting to climate change. It provides context on drivers of greenhouse gas emissions from energy and discusses options for decarbonizing energy supply and reducing final energy demand. Key points made include that reaching long-term climate goals will require a 3-4x increase in low-carbon energy by 2050 and that demand reductions alone will not be sufficient. The document also notes the challenges of decarbonizing different sectors like transportation. Adaptation strategies for the energy system are also briefly touched upon.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
