Supplementary/compounded feeding in Kenyan and Indian dairy systems – why so ...ILRI
Supplementary feeding of dairy cattle in Kenya and India is limited due to several factors. Farmers perceive concentrate feeds to be too expensive and increase the cost of milk production without adequate returns. There are also issues with inappropriate use of feeds, including not knowing when or how much to feed based on nutrient requirements or forage quality. Delivery of feeds faces challenges like lack of quality standards enforcement, adulteration, unqualified staff, and limited and costly testing. Interventions could focus on improving delivery, markets, and quality control of concentrate feeds. Developing strategic feeding guidelines based on diet and production, as well as micro-sizing affordable amounts of supplements, could help promote appropriate use at the farm level. Complete ration feeding approaches show economic advantages
This document discusses the historical trajectory of farming systems research from the 1960s to present. It outlines the evolution of the farming systems approach (FSA) from focusing on individual crop enterprises to considering whole farm systems and natural resources, and most recently sustainable livelihoods. Methodological developments improved farmer participation through techniques like RRA/PRA. However, farmers remain not fully empowered, and more empowerment is needed given future challenges. Innovation platforms can better facilitate multi-stakeholder engagement to complement FSA and achieve complex, incremental changes required to sustainably intensify agriculture by 2050.

From research outputs to development outcomes: Fostering fodder innovationILRI
The document summarizes ILRI's approach to livestock research for development, which focuses on fostering innovation through partnerships within livestock systems and value chains. It discusses challenges like the need for research outputs to have development outcomes. ILRI's framework designs research to actively influence actions within innovation systems, not just generate knowledge. Case studies from fodder projects in Ethiopia, India, and Nigeria show how focusing on positive examples of adoption and building innovation capacity led to changes in actors, institutions, and policies. Lessons indicate the need to work at larger scales, consider diverse livestock contexts, and allow flexibility for emergent opportunities.
This document discusses assessing the effectiveness of rural advisory service (RAS) approaches for promoting agroforestry. It presents a framework that evaluates RAS approaches based on four dimensions: clients targeted, local circumstances, agroforestry practices promoted, and extension objectives. Effectiveness is determined by factors such as facilitating information flow, benefiting marginalized groups, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, strengthening local capacities, and accountability. The best RAS approach depends on matching characteristics like client needs, location, practice complexity, and objective (sensitization vs. training).

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and MilvusZilliz
During this demo, the founders of Secludy will demonstrate how their system utilizes Milvus to store and manipulate embeddings for generating privacy-protected synthetic data. Their approach not only maintains the confidentiality of the original data but also enhances the utility and scalability of LLMs under privacy constraints. Attendees, including machine learning engineers, data scientists, and data managers, will witness first-hand how Secludy's integration with Milvus empowers organizations to harness the power of LLMs securely and efficiently.
