Dairy Goat Production in Zambia "way forward" MSIMUKO ELLISON
The document discusses dairy goat production in Zambia and its potential way forward. It notes that dairy goat production has several advantages for Zambia, as goats have few infrastructure demands and convert low-quality pasture efficiently into nutritious milk. However, introduced dairy goat breeds from Europe and America like Saanens and Toggenburgs are not well-adapted to Zambia's environments. Local goat breeds are more resilient but produce less milk. The document argues for designing context-specific breeding plans involving small-scale farmers to improve dairy goat productivity in Zambia sustainably.
This document provides information on feeding management of sheep and goats. It discusses the importance of feed costs in livestock production. Key points include feeding schedules for kids from birth to weaning based on milk, creep feed, and forage intake. It also outlines nutrition requirements and feeding practices for does based on their stage of production such as dry, breeding, gestation and lactation. Different feeding systems for goats like tethering, intensive and extensive systems are also summarized.
The document discusses cattle nutrition through 5 phases of a lactation cycle. Phase 1 focuses on high milk production with increased grains, proteins, and fats. Phase 2 has highest dry matter intake with lower proteins. Phase 3 restores body reserves. Phase 4 regains body weight. Phase 5 increases grains before calving. The document also covers beef cattle, grazing systems, nutritional disorders, and mineral/vitamin requirements.
The document discusses keys to a successful total mixed ration (TMR) feeding program for dairy cows. It covers ration formulation, mixing the TMR, feeding the cows, and forage management. Proper formulation of rations balanced for cow nutrient requirements is essential. Accurate mixing and consistent delivery of the TMR each day is important to meet cow needs and maximize production and health. Good communication between technical experts and farm managers helps ensure the feeding program runs effectively.
This document discusses challenges for goat producers feeding their herds during times of drought and high feed costs. It experienced the worst drought in over 50 years in 2012, reducing corn and soybean yields. This impacts livestock production and food prices. For goat producers, it means having less quality forage available. Feeding silage can help but carries risks if not stored properly, as spoiled silage can cause listeriosis in goats. The document provides several strategies for goat producers to deal with limited 2012 feed supplies, such as sourcing additional forages, using non-forage fiber sources in diets, focusing on proper forage harvesting and storage, and testing forages.
This document discusses nutritional strategies for sustainable dairy development. It explains that balanced nutrition is important for maintenance, reproduction, production and health of dairy cows. Both undernutrition and overnutrition can negatively impact fertility. Key nutritional factors that influence reproduction include energy, protein, minerals like phosphorus, copper, selenium, zinc, iodine, cobalt, and vitamins A and E. Maintaining proper mineral and vitamin levels is important for fertility and herd health. The document provides details on how deficiencies of various nutrients can delay puberty, reduce conception rates, and decrease milk production.

This document provides information on key aspects of dairy cow management. It discusses the lactation cycle and factors that influence calving interval such as heat detection and pregnancy rates. It also describes feeding methods for dairy cows including grazing, silage, and concentrates. The optimal systems balance efficient grass utilization with flexible rationing of cows according to yield and stage of lactation.
The document discusses feeding strategies for young stock and cows. For young stock, proper feeding and care pre-weaning is critical. Growth must be balanced across development, condition, and size. For cows, feeding varies by lactation stage. During dry periods, cows should maintain condition without overfeeding. In early lactation, high-quality feed maximizes peak yield and fertility. Feeding is adjusted in mid-late lactation based on individual production levels.
This document discusses many factors that can affect feed intake in poultry, including management and environmental factors, feed and water factors, and physical body factors of the birds. Management factors like flock size, stocking rate, temperature, and lighting can all impact feed intake and efficiency. Feed-related factors such as the physical form of feed, feed flavor, and anti-nutritional factors also influence intake. Physical characteristics of the birds' bodies, including gastrointestinal tract size, taste buds, genes and hormones, and feather cover are correlated with feed consumption levels as well. The document provides examples and studies demonstrating the effects of these various factors.
Grouping and nutritional strategies for dairy heifersJaylor
This document discusses strategies for grouping and feeding dairy heifers. It emphasizes the importance of measuring heifer height, weight, and body condition score to evaluate nutritional management. Heifers should be grouped by size, not age, and moved to the next group when consistent in size. Rations should be tailored to the heifers' stage of growth and balanced to support gains without becoming overconditioned before calving. Close-up heifers require similar transition rations as mature cows. Proper grouping, nutrition, and record keeping are essential to maximize heifer productivity and lifetime profitability.
This document discusses different livestock and poultry feeding systems. It describes outdoor and indoor feeding methods for livestock, including pasture grazing, feed bunks, and different types of stored feed. Several feeding systems are outlined for sheep and goats ranging from village to intensive systems. Cattle and buffalo feeding systems include grazing, magnetic, bunk, and electronic options. Finally, automatic and manual feeding systems are covered for poultry, such as main feed lines, pan feeding lines, and chain systems.
This document discusses balancing rations for small ruminants. Balancing rations ensures nutritional requirements are met in a cost effective way to maximize performance and profits. The key steps involve gathering data on animal needs based on factors like age, stage of production, and environmental conditions. Feeds are then selected based on availability and costs. Critical times like late gestation and early lactation when needs are highest are identified. Animal requirements are determined using resources like the NRC guidelines. Rations are then balanced to meet the identified protein and energy needs in a least cost manner. Software tools can help in calculating balanced rations.
Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of adult cattle is known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations.
Feeding soybeans to dairy cows has attracted the attention of dairy producers for decades. Jaylor's Ruminant Nutritionist, Janet Kleinschmidt, explores the best way to utilize soybeans in a dairy ration.
As work with the broiler has shown, brooding is a vital period for good overall results. Achieving good seven-day live weight will improve performance parameters such as final live weight and feed conversion as well as maintain a low overall mortality.To get the full potential out of broiler chickens it is important that the target weight at seven days
of age should be reached. As work with the Cobb 500 broiler has shown, brooding is a vital period for good overall results.
Achieving good seven-day live weight will improve performance parameters such as final live weight and feed conversion as well as maintain a low overall mortality.Several different parameters can be used to determine the quality of the chick at an early age such as live weight, growth, crop fill, body temperature, livability and mortality. Comparable parameter needs to be
objective, easy to perform, highly repeatable and inexpensive. Measuring live weight at day seven is a well-established and accepted way of assessing pre-placement management, brooding and chick quality.
The seven-day weight has significant impact on most important parameters such as performance, carcass and body composition. There is generally a peak in mortality at day three to four, most likely due to the absorption of the yolk sac in the intestine of chicks; if feed and water intake is not optimum, nonstarter/ cull chicks will add to the mortality that occurs a few days later.
Not only has gentics and nutrition played a major role in maximizing milk production, but farm management, labor, and facilities all play a role as well. Jaylor's Ruminant Nutritionist, Janet Kleinschmidt, discusses how in PART 2 of this presentation.
This document discusses various managemental strategies for reducing calving interval in farm animals. It covers factors that affect calving interval such as genetics, nutrition, year/season of calving, sex of calf. Management practices to improve calving interval include keeping accurate breeding records, detecting heat accurately, synchronizing estrus and breeding cycles, culling unhealthy animals, and providing proper nutrition and health programs. Hormonal treatments can also be used to reduce the postpartum anestrus period and tighten the calving interval.
1) Heat stress above 85°F reduces dairy cow milk production and causes milk fat depression. High humidity exacerbates these effects.
2) Heat stress has profound negative impacts on a dairy cow's appetite, current and future milk production, and milk fat production.
3) To help dairy cows during heat stress, farmers should feed cows more frequently using TMR during cooler parts of the day, add sodium bicarbonate and minerals to diets, and provide plenty of cool, clean water and shade.
Jaylor’s Ruminant Nutritionist, Janet Kleinschmidt, explains why adding fat to the diet of dairy cows become a common practice for most high production herds.

To avoid diseases resulting from high pathogenic pressure in intensive broiler and turkey housing systems, antibiotic growth promoters have been used in many cases in the past. Since the EU-prohibition of these products, an increasing interest exists for alternatives to support the microbiota in the intestine and for the maintenance of animal health.
>Since the ban of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in the European Union, the industry has been looking for valid alternatives to improve health, immune status and performance in animal agriculture.
>The industry focuses on developing solutions that mimic the effects of AGPs. However, the exact mode of action of the AGPs to improve poultry performance is not fully understood.
Most AGPs alternatives try to prevent the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and to modulate indigenous bacteria to improve immune status and performance.
>As an industry, we have made limited progress in improving gut health. Maybe we need to change the approach to find the most optimal solution.
>As part of a stable ecological system, pathogens per se do not represent a threat to animal health. The dynamic nature of the gastrointestinal microflora in chickens makes maintaining the right balance in the microbial ecosystem.
>Despite a large amount of scientific work has been done on the topic, a lack of consistent improvement has been registered.
>To improve gut health more consistently, a broader approach, involving a combination of nutrition, feed technology and husbandry management needs to be taken.
>In addition, gut-health is too complex to be solved from
only one point of view. Input should be obtained from different disciplines, including food technology, human nutrition, veterinary and human medical sciences.
>DSM will start an holistic program to come to tailor made solutions to improve the gut ecosystem with the objective of reducing the use of antibiotics in the poultry industry.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
