The Importance of Dairy Farming by Jessica Archibald Cream of the Crop 2009
This document summarizes Jessica's school project about the importance of the dairy industry. It discusses her visit to a dairy farm where she observed the milking process and saw how cows are bred, fed, and cared for. It also explains how milk gets from the farm to consumers' homes, the many jobs supported by dairy farming, and its economic and environmental impacts. The dairy industry plays a key role in Australia's economy and provides essential products that most people use daily.

Chickens can be kept at schools because they help the environment. Chickens can live by the garden and fertilize the soil with their waste. They also eat food scraps and provide eggs. Chickens can be hypnotized by drawing a line in the dirt while holding them.
Grazing corn
This document discusses Russ Wilson's family farm, Wilson Land & Cattle Co., which uses innovative grazing techniques such as grazing livestock on standing corn and cover crops. The farm raises several species of livestock and plants a diverse cover crop mix to improve soil health. Data showed that grazing livestock on standing corn and cover crops produced over 15,000 pounds of dry matter per acre at a relatively low cost, and provided significant savings and labor reductions compared to harvesting and feeding corn and hay. Soil tests also indicated increases in nutrients. The document provides recommendations for others interested in similar grazing methods.

Quails farming Allah Dad Khan
Quails are small, hardy birds that are suitable for small-scale farming. They reach sexual maturity within 6-7 weeks and can lay up to 300 eggs per year. Quail eggs and meat are nutritious and help prevent diseases. Farming quails requires building small cages and providing adequate food, water, temperature control and hygiene. The document provides guidance on selecting breeds, housing, feeding, breeding and caring for quails to establish a profitable quail farming business.

The document outlines plans to run a guinea pig farm with 100 guinea pigs. It calculates that the guinea pigs will need 365000 pieces of vegetables per year and 3.65 grams of vitamin C per guinea pig annually. It also estimates that the cages will need to be cleaned 3640 times a year and approximately 1250 baby guinea pigs will be born at the farm each year.
Angers - Animal Management
Sébastien Angers discussed the challenges and processes involved in raising pastured pork organically on his farm in Quebec. Some key points include:
Sanitation and hygiene are major challenges without the use of antibiotics, requiring an efficient barn cleaning routine. Proper barn setup with perforated floors and flaming helps control disease.
Rotating pigs and calculating grazing times ensures pasture health by moving animals off at 10cm height to prevent digging. Pigs need access to mud wallows for their skin.
Weaning is difficult organically as piglets develop immunity, but indoor/outdoor systems with protected feeders allow farm visitors to see piglets while controlling biosecurity risks. Ongoing trial and

Feeding Cattle Without the Feedlot
For more: http://www.extension.org/67595 Typically cattle producers can have improved animal performance through controlled systems such as an open lot feedlot. Open lots provide for improved control of diet, health, and monitoring of activity of the animals. Feeding areas such as these also can have disadvantages such as solid manure accumulation, surface water contamination when runoff water is uncontrolled, such systems are labor and machine intensive, and can contribute herd health issues because of high stocking densities, dust, or mud. Forage based grazing can negate many of these issues and is arguably more sustainable and environmentally friendly. However intensive grazing strategies must be employed to obtain comparable productivity. Development of technology that allows for these benefits is needed. Cross fencing and rotational grazing practices would benefit from more flexible and less labor intensive ways of controlling the grazing area.
Quail production
Quail have a high rate of egg production at 300 eggs per year. They mature rapidly, require less feed and space than chickens, with 8-10 quail occupying the space of one chicken. Quail also have 3-4 generations per year. The incubation period for quail eggs is 18 days at a setter temperature of 37.4-37.9°C and humidity of 65-70%. Hatcher temperature is 36.9°C at 75% humidity. Factors affecting hatchability include the male to female ratio, age, inheritance, preferential mating, nutrition, health, and management. Cages for rearing quail are typically 12.5 x 20 x 25 cm for 2 quail, or

NECI Handouts
US wheat production has increased dramatically since 1866, from 170 million bushels to 2.4 billion bushels in 2008. Acres planted have risen from 15.4 million to 56.6 million over the same period, while yields per acre have increased from 11 bushels to 43.5 bushels. Wheat was first cultivated 12,000 years ago in Iraq, Iran and Jordan, and spread to other parts of the world like Ethiopia, Great Britain and Spain around 5,000 years ago. Winter wheat was brought to the US by Russian Mennonites in 1874. There are different classes of wheat defined by attributes like hardness, color, growing habit. The milling process separates wheat into bran,
Quail farming
Quail farming provides several advantages such as minimum space needs, low investment, early sexual maturity and egg production, and high nutritional value of meat and eggs. Quails can be housed using deep litter or cage systems and require specific feeding and management practices. These include adequate temperature and ventilation for chicks, separating sexes at 4 weeks, lighting for 16 hours to stimulate egg laying, and providing a male to female ratio of 1:3 for breeding. Quail meat has a high dressing yield and is lower in fat than chicken. A government license is required to farm quails.
Dairy Farming
Ty Tanglwyst Farm is located in South Wales, where the climate and gently sloping hills create good conditions for pasture and grass growth year-round. The farm uses technology like milking machines, homogenizing machines, and fertilizer to support its dairy operations of pasteurizing, grass cutting, silage making, milking, and homogenizing. It produces dairy products like milk and silage. Recently, the farm has diversified by adding holiday cottages and a woodland scheme to generate additional income. It benefits from proximity to major cities, tourists, buyers, and transport routes.

Organic Poultry Symposium - Sally Bernard
This document summarizes information from an organic poultry symposium, including brooding methods, costs of raising chickens from day-old to laying age, and costs associated with egg production. Key points include the costs to brood chicks for the first 4 weeks, costs to raise pullets from 5 to 20 weeks, costs to raise hens from 21 to 72 weeks, and the net profit per hen of $20.40 over 51 weeks of egg production. Processing costs of $5 per bird are also outlined.
Goose egg
This document summarizes the physical and chemical properties of goose eggs. Goose eggs weigh 144g on average, with a white (albumen) weighing 71.5g, a yolk weighing 54g, and a shell weighing 18.5g. The yolk contains 46.1% water, 16.7% protein, and 33% fat, while the white contains 87.1% water and 10.8% protein. Goose eggs contain 266 calories, 19g fat, and 1227mg cholesterol per 144g. They provide more vitamin A, calcium, and iron than chicken eggs. Goose eggs can be incubated naturally by geese, hens, or Muscovy ducks, or artificially
Breeds of duck , geese and their features
This document summarizes various breeds of ducks and geese classified by their utility. It describes the origins, physical characteristics, egg and meat production of popular meat ducks like Aylesbury, Pekin, and Rouen. Egg-laying breeds such as Indian Runner and Khaki-Campbell are also detailed. Ornamental duck breeds include Call, Crested, White, and Black East India ducks. For geese, meat breeds Toulouse and Emden are highlighted noting their origins and distinguishing features.
Weaver Farms
The document summarizes presentations from Grey Bruce Farmer's Week 2015 about goat farming operations. Kevin Weaver discussed his dairy goat farm with 300 Alpine goats that produces high quality milk. Peter and Amy Vingerhoeds transitioned their hobby meat goat farm to a commercial operation with an emphasis on labour efficiency. Their new barn facilities include natural ventilation, separate feeding areas, and bulk storage to reduce costs and waste. Through improved facilities and management, they increased their herd from 20-30 goats to 80 productive does.
Keeping Better Records
Peter and Amy Vingerhoeds operate an 80-100 head Boer goat farm. They have implemented improved record keeping over the past few years to better manage their herd. This includes identifying goats with ear tags, recording kidding and treatment details, monitoring feed costs, and weighing market kids regularly. Keeping detailed records has helped them select the best breeding stock, market kids at optimal weights, and understand their production costs and profits. The records have helped them make progress on their farm goals of selling goats at high prices, improving herd genetics, and understanding their business metrics.
P Huyton Leaflet
Cows that produce milk for the Free Range Dairy Network are required to have access to grazing fields for at least six months of the year. This is meant to improve the lives of dairy cows by allowing them to engage in natural grazing behavior. Milk from cows that graze on grass is shown to have higher levels of healthy fats. By choosing milk with the Pasture Promise label, consumers can support family farms that allow cows to roam fields as intended by nature.
Quail Production and Management
The document provides guidance on starting and managing a quail production operation, including selecting stock, housing and equipment needs, brooding and rearing management, layer management, feeding management, health maintenance, and marketing considerations. It outlines the specific space, temperature, lighting and feeding requirements at different stages of growth. Proper management can result in low mortality rates and high egg production efficiency over 300 days.

SMF is part of both the animal science and crop technology programs at Lakeland College.
Quail egg & health
British researchers found that eggs are a superfood that can help fight obesity. Eggs are high in protein, vitamins, and antioxidants that promote health and development. Quail eggs specifically contain many vitamins and minerals and have been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to treat stress, digestion issues, liver problems, and more. Experts recommend consuming different amounts of quail eggs depending on age and health condition to gain various health benefits.
Livestock needs and yields
This document discusses the needs, yields, niche, behavior, and suitability of bees and chickens. It notes that bees require an east-facing hive with 20 feet of clear space, access to water, and protection from predators. Chickens need shelter, clean water, dust baths, and protection. Both provide yields - bees provide honey, wax, and pollination while chickens provide eggs, meat, fertilizer, and pest control. The document recommends chickens over bees for the author due to limited space.

Sheep and goats are closely related but have some differences. While both are ruminants, they eat different plants. Goats tend to be more intelligent and independent than sheep, and have a stronger ability to fight and protect themselves. Some distinguishing characteristics are that goats have beards while sheep have foot glands, and male goats have a very strong smell.
Pig production
Pig production is one of the oldest domesticated animals found around the world. Pigs are a major source of meat, comprising 38% of world meat production. Pigs have advantages such as efficient conversion of feed to food, high growth rates, tolerance to various feeds and environments, and ability to improve soil fertility through manure. Proper pig raising requires adequate food, water, shelter, health care and space.

- Gerald te Velde operates Twin Creeks Farm in Ontario with 100 ewes, cattle and pigs. He rotationally grazes his sheep and cattle separately but is experimenting with grazing them together. He relies on portable electric fencing and aims for frequent moves and adequate pasture rest periods.
- Bill McCutcheon then briefly discussed his pasture management at Mulmur Vista Farm in Ontario, focusing on water infrastructure and maintaining pasture
Cattle breeding
Cattle are bred either naturally through bull mating or artificially through artificial insemination. For artificial insemination, top quality bulls are selected and their semen is collected and tested on various farms to evaluate the quality of the resultant calves. If the calves meet standards, the bull's semen can be frozen in straws and sold to farmers. When a cow shows signs of being ready to mate, an artificial insemination technician will be called and use frozen semen from a selected bull, transported in liquid nitrogen, to efficiently inseminate the cow. The cow's pregnancy can then be tested after one month.
Chisholm&henry small scaledairy_2013
This workshop presentation summarized the experiences of two small-scale dairy goat farmers in the Maritimes. Alyson Chisholm discussed her experiences raising dairy goats on her organic farm in New Brunswick. She covered goat breeds, housing, fencing, feeding, health maintenance, milking, and cheese making. Roger Henry then discussed the challenges small milk producers face in marketing goat milk in the Maritimes due to supply management regulations. He emphasized the importance of having a market and distribution plan before pursuing goat dairy production. The presentation concluded with a question and answer session.

Dairy farming –process
Dairy farms require cows, grass, a cool climate, and milking machines. Dairy cows produce milk and need to eat healthy, fresh grass each day. The main dairy cow breeds in New Zealand are Friesians, Jerseys, and Ayrshires, which vary in size and daily milk production. New Zealand has ideal conditions for dairy farming with its cool climate that allows grass to grow year-round, providing food for the cows.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
