This document discusses components of rotational grazing systems including feeding, watering, and sheltering livestock. It provides details on watering systems such as water supply, vessels, distribution methods and considerations for ensuring adequate water. Sheltering options and their benefits are described, including using natural shelter and various structure types. Feeding recommendations on pasture like supplementing energy, protein and minerals are provided along with methods and types of feeders. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program is also mentioned as a source of financial assistance.
This presentation show about feed technology how to feed and fodder process their History, Principles, classification and some related definition its also helpful to graduate student and post graduate student FEED TECHNOLOGY
Definition
The subject of feed technology deals with processing of feeds, fodders and preparation of formula feeds for which the knowledge of nutritional requirements of various livestock and poultry, quality control of feed ingredients, feed plant management and the storage of feed ingredients and feeds are essential.
Animal feed technology may also be defined as the application of physical, chemical, biochemical, biological and engineering techniques to increase the nutrient utilization of feeds and fodders in animal system for the development of livestock and poultry and feed industry.
Beginning of feed Industry and related Activities in the US:-
• In 1875 Mr. john barwell initiated the production of a calf meal at Blatchford of Waukegan, Illinois.
• American Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA) was founded in 1909 in Wisconsin and its name was changed to American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) in 1985.
• The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) was established in 1909.
• Linear programming, a mathematical procedure, was developed by George B. Dantzig in 1947.
• W.V. Waugh of USDA was the first to see the potential of this mathematical procedure and developed a least cost dairy feed in 1951.
• Food and drug Administration (FDA) was passed in 1906 in USA.
*Some of the AAFCO Definitions:-
1. Complete feed: - A nutritionally adequate feed for animals other than humans and is capable of maintaining life and / or promoting production without any additional substance, except water.
2. Concentrate:- A feed used with another to improve the nutritive balance of the total and intended to be further diluted and mixed to produce a supplement or a complete feed.
3. Supplement:- A feed used with another to improve the nutritive balance or performance of the total and intended to be (1) fed undiluted as a supplement to other feeds, (2) offered free- choice with other parts of the ration separately available or (3) further diluted and mixed to produce a complete feed.
4. Premix:- A uniform mixture of one or more micro-ingredients with diluents and carrier.
Development of Feed Industry in India:-
• Feed industry came into existence in India in 1961 with the establishment of a feed plant in Ludhiana, Punjab.
• Compound Livestock Feed Manufacturers Association (CLFMA) was formed on 8 June, 1967.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. What is
rotational
grazing?
⊙ The practice of
moving grazing
livestock between
pastures (often
called paddocks)
as needed or on a
regular basis.
⊙ Systems range
from 2 to more
than 30
paddocks.
6. Water
requirements
⊙ Vary by size and class
of animal, 0.5-4 gal
per head per day.
⊙ Lactating females
require more water
than dry animals.
⊙ Environmental stress
increases water
requirements.
⊙ Lush pasture
decreases the
amount of water that
needs to supplied.
7. Water
quality
⊙ Water should be
clean and fresh.
⊙ Animals perform
better with better
quality water.
⊙ Sheep and goats
require better
quality water than
cattle.
⊙ Potable water is
preferred.
8. Water
location
⊙ The more accessible
the better.
⊙ Is better to move
water to animals
rather than move
animals to water.
⊙ Movement to and
from water is
unproductive time.
⊙ Ideally within 900
feet so animals will
drink individually and
more frequently.
9. Ideally,
water in
every
paddock
⊙ More uniform
pasture utilization
⊙ Better livestock
performance
⊙ Health benefits
⊙ Better manure
distribution
⊙ Better water
quality.
⊙ Tank size can be
smaller.
9
10. Watering
system
considerations
⊙ Temporary, season, or
full year water needs.
⊙ Type and location of
water sources.
⊙ Number and type of
livestock.
⊙ Be prepared for extreme
circumstances.
⊙ You may use different
watering systems for
different times of the
year and/or different
pastures. 10
11. Components
of a watering
system
⊙ Water supply
⊙ Water vessel
⊙ Method of
distributing water
○ Water lines
○ Valves
○ Fittings
⊙ Method of
moving water
(energy or pressure)
○ Pumps
○ Gravity flow
⊙ Other
Hydrants can add
flexibility to system 11
12. Water
supply ⊙ Well ***
⊙ Public (city) water
⊙ Streams
⊙ Ponds
⊙ Springs
⊙ Portable water
15. Enough
water
Individual drinking
< 900 feet away
⊙ Smaller tank
⊙ Slower flow rate
⊙ Allow 2-4% of
animals to drink at
one time.
⊙ Flow rate that
provides total
daily needs in 4
hours or less.
Group drinking
> 900 feet away
⊙ Large tank
⊙ High flow rate
⊙ Allow 5-10% of
animals to drink at
one time.
⊙ Hold at least ¼ of
daily requirement.
15
17. Do grazing
livestock
need shade
or shelter?
Pros
⊙ Animal welfare:
livestock will
choose shade, if it
is available.
⊙ There is some
data to suggest
that livestock
perform better, if
they have access
to shade.
Cons
⊙ Livestock congregate
in/around shelter,
which results in
excessive manure
accumulation and
increases risk of
parasite transmission.
⊙ It can be challenging
(and costly) to provide
shelter in all paddocks
in a rotational grazing
system.
17
18. Is there a
difference
between
shade and
shelter?
Shade
⊙ Shade provides
relief from direct
sunlight.
⊙ Shade is desirable
for most grazing
animals.
⊙ Standing or lying
down room only.
⊙ Shelter
⊙ Shelter provides
protection from
any inclement
weather.
⊙ Sheltering is
desirable for
lambing and
kidding.
⊙ More space
generally provided.
19. Special
considerations
for goats
⊙ Goats don’t like to
get wet.
⊙ Goats have less
fat and hide
thickness than
other livestock.
⊙ Goats have a
higher critical
temperature than
either cattle or
sheep.
⊙ Goats evolved in
hot, dry climates.
20. Special
considerations
for sheep
⊙ Wool acts as an
insulator and
provides protection
against direct
sunlight.
⊙ Hair sheep are more
adapted to hot
weather.
⊙ Recently shorn
sheep have a higher
critical temperature
and should have
protection from
inclement weather.
20
21. Shade Shelter
considerations
⊙ Shade vs. shelter
⊙ Number and size
of animals
⊙ Provisions for
lambing and
kidding
⊙ Permanent or
movable
⊙ In every paddock?
⊙ Cost
⊙ Labor to move
39. Why feed
animals on
pasture?
⊙ Improve milk production
⊙ Improve body condition
⊙ Improve growth
performance
⊙ Increase parasite resistance
and resilience
⊙ Delivery system for feed
additives such as
coccidiostats and
BioWorma®
⊙ Stretch pasture resource
⊙ More easily monitor animal
health.
41. Energy
supplementation
⊙ Energy (TDN) is the
nutrient most likely
to be deficient in
pasture diets.
⊙ Can test feces to
determine quality of
diet being consumed
by grazing animals
⊙ Energy
supplementation
improves resilience
to parasites.
42. Energy
sources
⊙ Cereal grains are the most dense
source of energy and usually the
most economical (varies).
⊙ High fibrous feeds such as soybean
hulls improve forage utilization.
⊙ Hay is a low to moderate source of
energy, depending upon quality.
⊙ Nutritional tubs save labor, but are
an expensive source of energy.
⊙ Choose the least cost option
(energy cost + labor)
43. Protein
supplementation
⊙ Poor quality pasture
can be deficient in
protein.
⊙ Goats, especially kids,
have higher protein
requirements than
sheep.
⊙ Protein
supplementation,
especially by-pass
protein, improves
resistance (FEC) to
internal parasites.
43
44. Mineral and
vitamin
supplementation
⊙ Is customary to provide free
choice minerals (at least salt)
to grazing livestock.
⊙ Livestock have a dietary
requirement and natural
craving for salt.
⊙ Additional minerals and
vitamins are recommended
as needed (what’s likely to be
deficient?)
⊙ Minerals can be used to
deliver coccidiostats and
other additives.
⊙ Many product options.
45. Feeding
minerals to
sheep and
goats.
⊙ Loose is preferred to
blocks.
⊙ Use feeders that protect
product from weather.
⊙ Occasionally measure
consumption to
determine if animals are
consuming
recommended amounts
of product.
⊙ Occasionally have
mineral profiles done on
livers to determine
mineral status.
46. Feeding
livestock on
pasture
Supplement
⊙ When fed at
0.5% of body
weight or less, it
is supplemental
feeding; does
not affect
pasture
utilization.
Substitution
⊙ Above ~0.5% of
body weight, animals
start substituting
feed for pasture.
⊙ Desirable if you want
to stretch pasture
resource.
⊙ Undesirable if you
want to maximize
pasture utilization.
47. Feeding
livestock on
pasture
Hand feeding
⊙ Limit feeding;
control amount of
feed that is
consumed.
⊙ No sorting of feed
ingredients.
⊙ Labor to feed
⊙ More feeder space
required.
⊙ Good way to
monitor animal
health.
Self-feeding
⊙ Free choice
feeding
⊙ Maximum
consumption
⊙ Maximum gain
⊙ Should feed a
pellet to prevent
sorting.
⊙ Less labor
⊙ Less feeder space
⊙ Feeding not
supplementing.
48. Feeding hay
on pasture
⊙ Feed when dry forage is
desired.
⊙ Feed when forage quality
and/or quantity are
lacking.
⊙ Feed when it is most
economical supplemental
feed choice (nutrient cost
+ labor)
⊙ Feed in properly designed
feeders.
⊙ Move feeders, as
necessary.
48
49. Feeders
Considerations
⊙ Type of feed
being fed
⊙ Method of
feeding
⊙ Number and type
of animals
⊙ Potential for feed
wastage
⊙ Cost
49
50. Kinds of
feeders on
pasture
⊙ Mineral
⊙ Creep
⊙ Self feeders
for grain or
similar feed
⊙ Grain feeders
⊙ Hay
⊙ Tubs
⊙ Many designs
