Predator Control by R. Reid Redden, PhD
This document discusses predation issues facing sheep and goat producers and research being conducted on using livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) to address predation. It notes that national lamb and kid crop losses to predation are around 4% and 20% in Texas alone. It then discusses the origins of LGDs and a research program at Texas A&M involving several ranches that found using LGDs reduced lamb losses from around 10% to zero in pastures with dogs. The document outlines some challenges producers had with LGDs and notes about half found them helpful while half of the dogs left within a few years. It describes using GPS trackers to study LGD behavior and activity patterns.

Student Managed Farm Dairy Unit Final Presentation - April 2014
2nd year students in Lakeland College's animal science technology program take a Student Managed Farm class. Lakeland's Student Managed Farm - powered by New Holland has both livestock and crop sides. The livestock side is further broken down into commercial beef, dairy, purebred beef and sheep units. This is the final presentation of the 2013-14 dairy unit.
Cover Crops, not just for Conservation Anymore
This document summarizes the results of a meta-analysis on the effect of cover crops on weeds in the northern corn belt. It finds that increasing cover crop biomass, particularly to over 2,500 lbs/acre, can provide nearly 50% control of weeds. However, higher grass cover crop biomass can potentially decrease corn yields. Soybean yields may see a slight increase with greater cover crop biomass. The document also introduces Practical Farmers of Iowa and their work on cover crops, outlines some common farmer goals for using cover crops, and asks questions about why the corn belt is prone to nutrient losses and the methodology of the meta-analysis.

Manage your Aquaponic system by Dr. Joe Masaabni
This document appears to be notes from setting up and monitoring an aquaponics system over time. It includes records of water quality measurements, fish weights and numbers, flow rates, and notes on problems encountered and their solutions such as leaks, filter issues, power outages, and pest infestations. The conclusion emphasizes that it can take 6 months to a year for the system to stabilize and that frequent monitoring of water quality and daily inspections are important during the initial setup and problem-solving phases.
Commercial system by Dr. Joe Masabni
This document discusses topics related to commercial aquaponics systems including fish selection, plant selection, system startup, and production estimates. Tilapia and hybrid striped bass are recommended as good fish species for aquaponics due to their tolerance of water conditions, feeding requirements, and market value. Lettuce, herbs, and other leafy greens are suitable plants to grow. The document provides guidelines for system cycling, stocking densities, feeding, and harvesting to maximize plant and fish production. Estimates suggest a 300 gallon system could generate $3,000-$6,000 annually from lettuce and fish sales.
Introduction to aquaponics by Dr. Masabni
This document describes an aquaponics system. It discusses how aquaculture and hydroponics can be combined in a recirculating system that reduces waste while providing fertilizer for plant growth. Diagrams show the system components, including fish tanks, clarifiers, filters, and grow beds. Metrics are given for system sizing, fish and vegetable production estimates, costs, and permitting requirements.
Egg production by Craig D. Coufal
This document discusses egg production and physiology. It explains that increasing daylight stimulates sexual maturity in chickens, while decreasing daylight delays it. For pullets, daylight must not increase and must stay below 12 hours to stimulate egg production. For laying hens, daylight must not decrease and should stay above 15-16 hours. Natural light causes seasonal fluctuations in egg production. Proper feeding of pullets and layers is also discussed.
Small Flock Management by Craig D. Coufal, Ph.D
This document provides guidance on small flock management, including getting started with poultry, acquiring birds, housing, disease prevention, and basic care. The key points covered are: plan for manure management, housing needs to protect from weather and predators, acquire birds from reputable sources like NPIP certified hatcheries, consider breed types for eggs or meat, implement biosecurity measures to prevent disease transmission, and provide proper housing, water, and healthcare for flock health.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
