Feeding ‘balanced concentrate feed' to increase livestock productivity: An e...ILRI
Dairying is an integral part of small-holder farming systems as well as an important source of subsidiary income for most households in Bihar, India and most farmers keep 2-3 cattle. Nevertheless, the per-capita milk availability in Bihar is very low (175 g/d) compared to the Indian average (290 g/d) in 2011-12 as productivity is low, mainly because current feeding is based mainly on crop residues (wheat and rice straw). Constraints to improving these feeding practices include limited farm resources, weak support services and poor knowledge on nutrient requirements and contents. The present study examines the effect of a balanced concentrate feed on livestock productivity in Samastipur and Muzaffarpur districts of Bihar, in comparison to existing feeding practices.
This document provides an overview of a training on halal goat production. It discusses that goat production in the Philippine setting is typically smallholder and involves tethering. Goats are well-adapted to the tropics and provide meat, milk, and fertilizer. They require small investments and can thrive on browse alone. Goat meat is popular and goats mature earlier than other livestock. However, goat raising faces constraints like lack of quality stock and high mortality rates. There are prospects in the growing halal meat market and technologies exist to support sustainable goat milk, meat, and skin industries.

1. The document summarizes research into the relationships between genetic traits and maternal productivity in beef cattle from industry herd data and breeder interviews.
2. Breeder management approaches differed in their control of inputs, with some targeting leaner cattle better suited to variable resource environments.
3. Higher estimated breeding values (EBVs) for traits like rib and rump fat were found to decrease days to calving and increase pre-calving fat depth, with a larger effect in autumn-calving herds.
The document discusses Ireland's quality assurance infrastructure for agriculture and food production. It notes that high percentages of beef, lamb, pig, poultry, and egg production are certified under quality schemes. A national dairy scheme was launched in 2013. The infrastructure enables additional sustainability measures like carbon footprinting and building sustainability data into existing schemes. An on-farm sustainability program uses handheld technology and GPS to calculate performance metrics for farms and focus on improving grazing seasons, energy efficiency, and other key measures. Farms will receive individual feedback reports.

The document summarizes a study on the dissemination of ILRI-CSISA concentrate feed in two districts in Bihar, India. It found that 20% of farmers who participated in ILRI trials and trainings were continuing to feed the promoted concentrate feed, compared to only 6% of non-participating farmers. The main sources of information about the feed for non-participants were neighbors (53 farmers) and ILRI field staff (10 farmers). Participating farmers shared information about preparing the ILRI feed with over 1,200 other farmers both within and outside their villages. Knowledge about concentrate feeds improved after the ILRI intervention, though further awareness and training efforts are still needed to increase adoption rates.

This document summarizes a study on the effects of a milk booster on milk quality parameters in buffalo milk. The study analyzed milk samples from 12 buffaloes that were either fed a milk booster (experimental group) or not (control group). Results showed that total daily milk yield, milk fat content, and solid non-fat levels were significantly higher in the experimental group that received the milk booster compared to the control group. However, the increase in milk yield was not substantial enough to impact profits economically. In conclusion, all milk quality parameters improved with the milk booster but it did not provide clear economic benefits.

This document discusses ration formulation and different methods for formulating rations to meet the nutrient requirements of animals. It specifically discusses ration formulation and nutrient requirements for sheep and goats. Ration formulation aims to provide animals with a balanced mix of nutrients for their stage of production. Requirements vary based on factors like body weight and production goals. Energy is a particularly important nutrient and deficiencies can negatively impact various aspects of animal health and productivity. The document also discusses mineral and protein requirements and their roles in wool production for sheep.
Women play a pivotal role in agriculture but often lack empowerment. The document discusses several initiatives to promote women's empowerment through nutrition security, self-help groups for livelihood activities like value addition, and entrepreneurial development through cooperative societies. It also details various food processing techniques for crops like rice, pulses and oilseeds to generate income and improve nutrition.
The document provides details from the final presentation of the Sheep Unit team. It introduces the team members and their roles. It then summarizes the flock inventory, financial outlook which showed a loss, and recommendations for the next year which include securing long term pasture and increasing the purebred flock. Key performance indicators such as lambing percentage and mortality are also reviewed.
An exploratory analysis of the effectiveness of milk market in Odisha, IndiaILRI
This document summarizes a study on the milk market in Odisha, India. The study examined the milk market channels and prices in different market zones, comparing a high milk production and marketing site (Puri) to a low site (Bhadrak). Survey results showed a higher percentage of milk is sold in the market in the high site compared to the low site. In the high site, middlemen buy a higher proportion of milk followed by milk cooperatives. In the low site, household consumers buy most milk followed by middlemen. Women play a major role in delivering milk and receiving payment in the low market site. Strengthening formal milk markets could increase milk production in the region.
This document provides a full day nutrition plan designed by Guru Mann, a certified fitness trainer and sports nutritionist. The plan consists of 6 meals and 2 snacks spaced throughout the day, totaling 3446 calories, 245g of protein, 405g of carbs and 94g of fat. Each meal listing includes the ingredients and macros breakdown. Pre and post-workout drinks are also included to support training sessions.
The document discusses pig feed pelletizing technology. It covers the key steps in pellet production including crushing, mixing, pelleting, cooling and factors that influence pellet quality. Crushing ingredients to a uniform size before mixing is important for achieving an even mix. The optimal pelleting temperature range is also discussed. Pellet size can impact pig health, with smaller pellets increasing the risk of stomach ulcers. Feeds should be formulated to meet the nutritional needs of pigs at different growth stages.

This document provides an overview of beef cattle production through the cow/calf system. It discusses the key phases of production including breeding, gestation, calving, weaning, and raising replacement stock. Important factors that determine profitability are outlined such as reproductive efficiency, growth rates, maternal ability, and genetics. Basic husbandry practices like weighing, tagging, feeding and health protocols are also summarized. The role of the brood cow is defined as calving regularly and weaning marketable calves matched to the environment. Traits like milk production, fertility, frame size, and disposition are highlighted. Performance recording is noted as important for identifying ideal traits.
Pearson's Square is a method used to determine the proportions of feeds needed to produce a ration with a specific quantity and crude protein percentage. It involves drawing a square, labeling feeds and their protein percentages on sides, subtracting smaller from larger numbers along diagonals, dividing parts of each feed by the total parts to find its percentage in the ration. An example shows using it to mix soybean meal and corn to make 1200 lbs of 25% crude protein hog feed.
The document describes the development of a multi-nutrient snack called Nutri Foodles made from rice flour, moong dal flour, soya nuggets flour, and wheat bran. Sensory tests were conducted to standardize a 1:1:1:1 ratio of ingredients, which received the highest acceptability scores. Additional tests found the Nutri Foodles remained sensorily acceptable for up to 1 month without preservatives. The product provides protein, fiber, and other nutrients.

Holistic paradigm for improving livestock productivity in Pakistan ILRI
This document summarizes activities conducted by the AIP-Livestock program in Pakistan to improve livestock productivity. Key activities included:
1) Establishing 17 model farms that provided direct benefits to over 1,000 farmers and indirect benefits to over 23,000 others through training and demonstrations.
2) Vaccinating over 7,600 animals against foot-and-mouth disease, saving an estimated $978,419 in losses.
3) Conducting awareness programs reaching over 10,000 farmers, including over 10% female participation.
4) Finding that indigenous Cholistani cattle can reach early puberty through calf starter feeding programs.
India is the world's largest milk producer, producing 187.7 million tonnes of milk in 2018-2019. Dairy farming is integrated with crop production for many small landholding farmers. Milk production is largely based on low-input systems. Two-thirds of farm households are involved in livestock production including dairy. Per capita milk consumption in India is lower than recommended levels. There is potential to increase milk productivity through improved cattle breeds and feeding practices.
This document summarizes a project by ILRI's Livestock Genetics Program in Senegal to identify the most appropriate dairy cattle breed. Over almost 2 years, the project partnered with 220 households keeping over 3000 cattle. Data showed that households with Bos Taurus or cross-bred cattle had higher milk yields and profits than those with indigenous Zebu cattle. Cross-bred cattle performed best in terms of productivity, profitability, and environmental sustainability. The project found little difference in milk protein between breeds but fat content varied. It also assessed food safety and gender impacts.

This document describes a case study of a farmers field school (FFS) conducted in Shaktikhor, Nepal to empower women through participatory learning and the discovery of improved goat management practices. The FFS involved 28 women divided into observation units. Through the FFS, the women analyzed their current goat farming practices and discovered improved ways of raising goats that increased productivity. For example, they learned to provide vaccinations on time, deworm based on fecal analysis, and feed a mixed diet of legumes and grasses. The improved practices led to higher goat weights and earlier ages of first kidding. The FFS also economically empowered the women by increasing their income from goat farming. The conclusion states that FFS can
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.
Livestock in the Pakistan Agricultural Innovation Program (AIP)ILRI
The document outlines the Pakistan Agricultural Innovation Program (AIP) led by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in collaboration with national partners. The livestock component of AIP focuses on dairy, small ruminants, and feed/fodder/rangeland with the objectives of enhancing livestock feed productivity and improving profitability in small ruminant value chains. Main activities include value chain analyses and assessments for dairy and small ruminants to identify best interventions, training programs for producers and suppliers, and promotion of improved forages, nutrient-rich crop residues, and balanced feeding strategies.
The document summarizes efforts to promote the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) technique in Uttarakhand, India to improve food security and livelihoods. Initial trials in 2006-2007 showed SRI yields were 83% higher than conventional methods. From 2008, training was provided to over 11,000 farmers and the area under SRI cultivation expanded to over 180 hectares. Evaluation found SRI yields were on average 65% higher with lower costs. Efforts are ongoing to further promote SRI adoption through policy changes, research, and farmer support.
This document discusses a trial conducted by Sumul Dairy in Surat, India to evaluate the effects of feeding hydroponically grown maize to growing heifers. In the trial, 20 heifers were fed a conventional diet while another 20 were supplemented with hydroponic maize. The hydroponic feeding resulted in higher reproductive efficiency, daily weight gain, and lower cost of weight gain. It also reduced water and land usage compared to conventional fodder production. The hydroponic system improved the nutritional quality of the feed and allowed consistent supply with less labor.

Food safety research in low- and middle-income countriesILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet at the first technical meeting to launch the Food Safety Working Group under the One Health Partnership framework, Hanoi, Vietnam, 28 September 2023
The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
