SCR Heat detection
Uniquely combines rumination, movement and movement intensity measurement, recognizing behavior patterns.
SCR activity score is much less prone to walking and eating behavior, therefore suitable also for grazing herds (as proven in NZ and Ireland)
Real-time heat detection reports for optimized insemination timing.
Rumination application: Nutrition
Rumination time: proportional to the amount of long fiber the cow has eaten (eNDF, or “Scratch Factor”). About 140 min rumination to 1 Kg long fiber.
Daily rumination time less than 400 min indicate a major risk factor for rumen acidosis.
Rumen acidosis seriously impairs cow’s health and welfare and farmer income.
Simples applications of Nanotechnology in dairy production

Current status and future challenges in mastitis researchHenk Hogeveen
A couple of years ago, we gathered with 9 individual mastitis experts, to freely discuss issues around mastitis.
One of the results was an overview paper on the current status and future challenges of mastitis research. It was presented at the 50th anniversary Annual Meeting of the NMC (www.nmconline.org). These are the slides of this presentation, given by Joe Hogan and myself.
This information was presented for DAIReXNET and released as a webinar on June 20th, 2016. In this webinar, Dr. Nickerson discusses the prevalence and treatment of mastitis in bred heifers, as well as several strategies for prevention. Learn about using teat seals, controlling horn fly populations, vaccinations, and feed additives that might help reduce the incidence of new infections.

Quick Steps to Help Manage Heat Stress in your Dairy CowsJaylor
Cows do best when the air temperature is between 5.0 C and 21.0 C. When it gets hotter than that, cows’ efforts to maintain normal body temperature become costly. Learn how to kelp keep your dairy cows cool and productive.
Productivity of smallholder dairy cows is constrained by multiple of animal diseases e.g. mastitis, helminthosis, tick borne diseases and in some cases tsetse transmitted trypanosomiasis
Cows in zero grazing units attract flies which bite the animals and cause agitation, spread diseases and contribute to unsanitary conditions.
Flies reduce productivity of dairy cows and cause weight loss
Wounds from stable and biting flies may become infected
In some areas even tsetse flies are attracted to zero-grazing units
Grouping and nutritional strategies for dairy heifersJaylor
Jan Kleinschmidt explains how, in order for heifer rearing programs to be successful, these animals must be given the same time and consideration as the milking herd.
Grains are a group of foods that includes maize, oats, barley, wheat, rye, sorghum and others. As widely reported, grain products are divided into two categories: refined and whole grain. The earlier is achieved by food manufacturers through milling, whereby the germ, bran and the endosperm are removed. The latter is just the whole grain itself. Grain milling is the milling of flour and rice; the malting of grain (primarily barley); and the mixing of prepared flour mixes and dough. Maize, rice and wheat constituted 87 percent of all grain production worldwide and 43 percent of food calories in 2003.

Case study- Implementing fully integrated solutions for the food industryFedegari Group
The canned food sterilization faces a great challenge: to minimize the quality losses while providing an adequate process to achieve the desired degree of sterility. Temperature deviations are costly while representing under or over processed food, waste of energy and low productivity. This paper describes the implementation of a fully integrated solution for the sterilization process in one of the biggest European tuna can manufacturers.
Rapid sterility testing system is an automated solution for the rapid detection, response, and resolution of microbial contamination in filterable samples throughout the manufacturing process. Accurate, rapid sterility testing is not only critical for patient safety it also makes great sense for the compounders and other pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Basics of animal nutrition
Feeding the rumen microbes
We need:
Certain limiting amino acids (Lys, Met)
In a certain ratio (Lys 3 : 1 Met)
And normal feedstuffs don’t supply this:
Not enough
Not the right ratio
So we need to supplement them
We need RUP
Weak, inequitable and inefficient systems
Poor are dependent on systems for their livelihoods that do not work well

Animal Welfare is gaining recognition as an important element of commercial livestock operations worldwide.
This has wide-ranging implications for an industry with complex historical and cultural roots.
It is being addressed not only by governmental agencies and academic institutions, but by a growing number of professionals at different locations in the agricultural supply chain.
A number of regional and global initiatives have emerged to provide guidance on acceptable practices to actors ranging from individuals caring for animals on farms to large scale commercial enterprises providing animal-based products from different livestock systems.
To have at least two (and up to six) typical farms for each region.
The first farm is an average sized farm with an average management performance. The second farm is larger than the first one but also having an average management performance, to show economies of scale.

Milk Quality Tracking and Tracing System as a Basis for Quality Based Milk Payment System
In Kenya, raw milk safety has been disputed over a decade but no documented data exists.
Greatest milk quality challenge for the CBE’s are proper ways to maintain cold collection.
The regulatory institutions are constrained financially hence raw milk quality standards are reluctantly applied and enforced.
This creates a vacuum for farmers to switch between buyers of raw milk specially due to quality issues.

CONVENIENCE TREND
People increasingly have to “manage” competing demands on their time. Convenience impacts all aspects of people’s lives forcing them to constantly seek out more efficient and effective products that help improve busy lifestyles and free-up and maximize leisure time
Convenience is a major force behind much product innovation resulting in strong growth in ready to eat products as well as products which simplify routine tasks.

•What will your capacity be?
•Milk Quality/Juice with preservatives?

SUSTAINABLE COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA
Cooperatives play an important role in economic development of many countries across the continent.
In Kenya, cooperatives are controlling about 43% of GDP and 31% of national savings and deposits. They have 70% of the coffee market, 76% dairy, 90% pyrethrum, and 95% of cotton.
In Benin, FECECAM (Faitiere des caisses deparge et de credit agricole mutuel), a savings and credit cooperative federation, provided USD 16 million in rural loans in 2002.
In Côte d'Ivoire cooperatives invested USD 26 million for setting up schools, building rural roads and establishing maternal clinics.
In Kenya, over 300,000 people are directly employed by co-operatives
Globally, cooperatives provide over 100 million jobs around the world, 20% more than multinational enterprises.
