This document summarizes a 10-year study of the Western Maryland Pasture-Based Meat Goat Performance Test. Over the 10 years, the study evaluated 639 male meat goats from 84 herds across 20 states to identify goats that performed well in terms of growth and resistance to internal parasites on a pasture-based diet. The top-performing goats were selected for breeding or sale. The study also demonstrated best practices for parasite control in small ruminants and increased the use of performance testing in the meat goat industry by communicating results.
GWAS to Identify Genetics that Influence Calf Health from Holstein and Crossb...Delaina Hawkins
Genome-wide association analysis is a powerful tool for explaining the phenotypic effects of dairy cattle on the genome and knowledge of genes associated with dairy cattle phenotypes. SNP & Variation Suite (SVS) has assisted the University of Minnesota, West Central Research and Outreach Center to determine the association of genetics groups with calf and cow health. These results are used to improve selection indexes for genomic evaluations for dairy cattle and will help improve the profitability of dairy production systems.
The University of Minnesota, West Central Research and Outreach Center has 300-cow dairy and unique populations of dairy cattle. The herd is comprised of purebred Holsteins, 1964 genetic control purebred Holsteins and crossbreds of Holstein, Montbéliarde and Viking Red, and crossbreds of Jersey, Normande, and Viking Red. Their 1964 Holstein herd is essentially “frozen” in time from 1964, and is one of the last true genetics resources in the Holstein breed. This unique Holstein population remains unselected from 1964, and they maintain this unique Holstein population.
Their team has genotyped their Holstein cattle, and have genotyped over 250 Holstein calves and cows, and over 650 crossbred calves and cows. We have genotyped over 450 animals with the 40K Bovine chip and over 200 with the 150K Bovine HD chip. Currently, they are conducting additional analyses that include Runs of Homozygosity, signatures of selection, and haplotype blocks. Genome-wide association analysis identified a number of genes and chromosome regions associated with calf health in contemporary Holstein cows and 1964 Holstein cows.
The document discusses beef carcass evaluation methods used to determine quality and yield grades. Quality grades indicate factors like tenderness, flavor, and juiciness. The USDA quality grades are prime, choice, good, standard, and utility. Yield grades estimate the amount of retail cuts from the carcass and range from 1 to 5, with 1 being highest yield. Carcass traits like marbling, fat thickness, and ribeye area are used to determine grades. The grades help producers, packers, and retailers provide beef that meets consumer demands.

It was originally presented by University of Maryland Extension Sheep & Goat Specialist Susan Schoenian at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Dutchess County Sheep & Wool Growers Association in Red Hook, New York.
There are nearly over one million beef farmers and ranchers throughout the United States. They often use the diverse local resources available to produce nutritious, safe and delicious beef. That means there are a variety of beef choices including grain-finished and grass-finished. No matter the choice, there is a delicious and nutritious beef option for you.
Effects of feeding regiments on meat qualit1 (1)AbhinavaBanerjee
This document discusses the effects of different feeding regiments on meat quality attributes. Some key points:
- Pasture feeding produces leaner meat with more flavor due to higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and CLA. High concentrate diets result in fatter meat with less flavor.
- Feeding high levels of vitamins E and C improves meat color stability and shelf life by preventing oxidation. Vitamin E supplementation has been shown to double meat display life.
- Probiotics and mineral supplements like selenium and zinc can improve meat acceptability and decrease oxidation.
- Beta-adrenergic agonists increase muscle growth and decrease fat, but can negatively impact tenderness and water holding capacity.
Meat has exerted a crucial role in human evolution and is an important component of a healthy and well balanced diet due to its nutritional richness. From the nutritional point of view, meat's importance is derived from its high quality protein, containing all essential amino acids and it's highly bio available minerals and vitamins.
The document discusses the iterative two-step clinical nutrition process of assessing a patient and developing a feeding plan. It covers assessing factors like medical history, diagnostics, and body condition scoring. It then reviews basic nutrients like water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. Finally, it discusses considering life stage, lifestyle, and health conditions when developing individualized feeding plans.

This document discusses several issues related to antibiotic use in agriculture and human medicine. It notes that antibiotics are added to animal feed as growth promoters but are not included in retail food prices or analyses of productivity. This can lead to externalities like resource depletion, pollution, and increased health costs. The overuse of antibiotics in agriculture also contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance, reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics for human medical treatment.
Feed efficiency is an important factor in dairy farm profitability, as feed makes up over half of production costs. Research has shown inconsistent results in comparing the feed efficiency of Jersey and Holstein cows. Some studies found Jerseys to be slightly more efficient, requiring 2-11% less feed per unit of milk produced. However, other research found no difference in efficiency between the breeds, or even Holsteins to be slightly more efficient. Due to varying methodologies between studies, more research is needed to make definitive conclusions about differences in feed efficiency between Jersey and Holstein cows.

The document discusses challenges and opportunities for the swine production sector to meet increasing global food demand while "doing more with less". Key points include:
- By 2050, food production needs to increase 60-70% and swine, poultry, beef and fish production will need to multiply. This will require more intensive and sustainable production.
- Swine producers will face higher feed costs, more regulations, and greater expectations for product quality. Improving feed efficiency, health, and precision feeding can help achieve production goals.
- Pork quality is defined by nutritional, eating, hygienic, and processing qualities. Intramuscular fat content affects quality and consumer acceptance up to levels of 2.5
This document discusses the value of estimated breeding values (EBVs) for genetic improvement in the US meat goat industry. It explains that EBVs quantify an animal's genetic merit for economically important traits based on their own performance data as well as data from relatives. The accuracy of EBVs depends on contemporary groups, genetic connections between animals, and the amount of data collected. The National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP) currently provides EBVs for a few meat goat herds in the US through its Kidplan program. Producers can benefit from EBVs by selecting breeding stock with above average EBVs for important traits.

Assignment of fishery production and marine environment Chou Bảo
This document summarizes a study on privately managed marine reserves as a conservation mechanism for coral reef ecosystems in Vietnam. The study examines two marine reserves managed by a hotel resort - Whale Island Bay and Whale Island Bay Peninsula. Results showed higher fish densities, species richness, and average sizes in the reserves compared to uncontrolled sites. In particular, the older Whale Island Bay reserve displayed a threefold increase in certain fish families. While coral cover remained low, the reserves demonstrated rapid recovery of fish stocks. The study concludes that privately managed reserves like these hotel reserves can effectively boost fish populations and play an important role in global coastal resource conservation.
Status and trends of fishery productions in VietnamChou Bảo
The document summarizes the status and trends of fishery production in Vietnam. It outlines that Vietnam has natural conditions like a long coastline and river networks well-suited for fisheries. Currently, aquaculture and fishing each produce around 6,500 tons annually and fisheries contribute significantly to GDP and exports. However, Vietnam's fisheries are small-scale and face challenges like lack of offshore infrastructure and conflicts over the South China Sea. Looking ahead, Vietnam aims to diversify aquaculture and improve post-harvest technology to increase quality and productivity of its fisheries. Cooperation with other countries is also needed to support sustainable development of marine fisheries.
- Phytanic acid is a branched-chain fatty acid found in dairy and ruminant products that is normally broken down via α-oxidation and β-oxidation pathways.
- Refsum disease is caused by an inability to break down phytanic acid due to a deficiency in the enzyme phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase, leading to its accumulation and neurological damage.
- Symptoms include night blindness, loss of smell, deafness, skin problems, and loss of balance. Treatment focuses on severely restricting dietary sources of phytanic acid and plasma exchange may be used in severe cases.
Quantification of phytanic and pristanic acids in dairy productsChou Bảo
This document analyzes the distribution of phytanic and pristanic acids in various dairy products. The study:
1) Extracted total lipids from milk and dairy products using the Roese-Gottlieb method and determined lipid content gravimetrically. Fatty acid methyl esters were prepared using HCl/methanol after saponification with KOH/methanol.
2) Used gas chromatography to analyze and quantify free fatty acids, including peaks for pristanic and phytanic acids.
3) Found that pristanic acid contents were significantly higher than phytanic acid contents across domestic and imported dairy products. Imported products contained more phytanic acids than domestic products.
Human liver homogenate was incubated to study the α-oxidation pathway of phytanic acid. Gas chromatography analysis identified pristanal as the product of the decarboxylation of 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA. Pristanal was converted to pristanic acid in a NAD+-dependent reaction in human liver, demonstrating that pristanal is an intermediate in the production of pristanic acid from phytanoyl-CoA. Deficiencies in α-oxidation enzymes can lead to the accumulation of phytanic acid and cause Refsum's disease.

Lowering greening of cookies made from sunflower butter using acidic ingredientsChou Bảo
This document is a student thesis on lowering greening in sunflower butter cookies using acidic ingredients. It includes an introduction on sunflower butter and chlorogenic acid (CGA), which causes greening through oxidation reactions. The methods section describes testing cookies made with different acidic ingredients (honey, yogurt, buttermilk, sour cream, maple syrup) for greening levels, pH, CGA content, antioxidant capacity, and tryptophan levels. The results show cookies made with maple syrup greened the most, and greening increased with pH. Cookies made with honey had the highest CGA and antioxidant capacity.

Application animal and plant interaction in food processingChou Bảo
This document discusses animal and plant interactions and their effects on agriculture and food processing. It covers examples of mutualistic interactions like pollination that benefit agriculture as well as antagonistic interactions like pests that harm agriculture. Pollination, which is facilitated by animals transferring pollen between plants, is described as essential for the reproduction of most crop plants and fruits. The value of pollination services, particularly from honeybees, is estimated to be in the billions of dollars annually for countries' agricultural sectors. Biological control using natural enemies is presented as an alternative to chemical pesticides for managing agricultural pests, though it also carries risks if agents become invasive themselves. Case studies on pollination valuation from China and India are briefly

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
