Sustainability in Pork Production - Pigs, Planet, People National Pork Board
This document discusses sustainable pork production. It notes that population growth will require more food production in the future. Today's farmers are much more efficient, feeding 155 people on average compared to 26 people in 1960 using fewer inputs. The pork industry aims to safeguard the environment, animal well-being, public health, and natural resources. It has developed metrics to measure its sustainability performance over time in areas like carbon footprint, water footprint, and land use. The goal is to continuously improve practices to benefit people, pigs, and the environment.

Livestock and poultry sectors in pakistan (2)Farooq Tareen
This document provides information about the livestock sector in Pakistan. It notes that livestock contributes 11.4% to Pakistan's GDP and 53.2% to the agricultural GDP. The sector employs over 35 million people. Pakistan is home to important cattle and buffalo breeds. The main livestock populations are cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats. The document outlines the distribution of these populations across Pakistan's provinces and trends over time. It also discusses the dairy, poultry, and meat industries and marketing in Pakistan as well as the government structures that support the livestock sector.
This document summarizes research on animal fattening practices and opportunities for improvement. It discusses how fattening operations have grown in places like Ethiopia and Kenya. Research from Niger and Mali shows the profitability of fattening sheep and cattle using different feed mixes. Locally available feeds like cowpea, moringa, and others show potential. Price differentials based on animal conformation indicate opportunities for value addition through fattening. Further research on least cost rations and introduction of suitable fodder crops could help smallholders benefit from animal fattening. Near infrared spectroscopy training and understanding long-term land use trends may also support improved practices.
This document discusses livestock development prospects and initiatives in Balochistan province of Pakistan. It outlines the province's potential in animal health, genetic improvement, veterinary education, food security, and poverty alleviation. Plans and initiatives discussed include prevention and control of animal diseases, eradication of viral diseases, awareness of zoonotic diseases, conservation and genetic improvement of pure breeds, development of the dairy industry, promotion of poultry farming, research in the livestock sector, and women's empowerment through rural poultry production and veterinary services. The document also provides background on the history and development of the livestock sector in Balochistan.
The document discusses ILRI's Livestock Genetics Program from 2014-2024. It sampled over 6,600 animals and collected over 183,000 data points. Through partnerships, it undertook over 77,000 animal inseminations and registered over 66,000 animals across 42,983 enrolled households. The program's goals were to optimize livestock productivity and resilience in the tropics through genetics research, with activities including testing disease resistance, surveying households, and developing improved and indigenous animal strains.
With the emerging concern on environmental cost more specifically greenhouse gas emission related with conventional livestock rearing for meat has come to a problematic situation. Therefore, animal scientists and human nutritionists collectively try to develop a new trend of rearing non-conventional livestock for meat purposes. Some of the non conventional species are already being exploited to commercial levels. This presentation attempts to discuss some key points about non conventional livestock in a brief and simple manner.

1) Global demand for meat, milk, and eggs is rising rapidly in developing countries, where smallholders currently produce much of the supply.
2) Transforming smallholder livestock production into a more productive and resilient system can help achieve several UN Sustainable Development Goals and benefit women and youth.
3) Livestock research plays a key role in this transformation by developing solutions to improve productivity, health, feeding, and management practices for smallholder farmers.

This document discusses trends and opportunities in the livestock and fish sectors in Asia. It notes that demand for meat, milk, and fish is rapidly rising in Asia and will more than double by 2050. Smallholders currently dominate production but face issues like low productivity. Aquaculture is key to meeting rising fish demand but smallholders face constraints around access to resources and markets. The document argues that investment in agricultural research should reflect the growing importance of livestock and fish and proposes partnerships between national and international researchers to address challenges in animal health, genetics, feeding, and developing sustainable agri-food systems.
This document summarizes information from ILRI (International Livestock Research Institute) about the role and importance of livestock globally. It makes three key points:
1. Livestock and animal source foods represent some of the most valuable global commodities, with an average annual value of $830 billion from 2007-2016. Demand for livestock products is projected to grow substantially in developing regions by 2030.
2. Livestock play a critical role in economies, livelihoods, and food security around the world. They contribute significantly to agricultural GDP and provide jobs and incomes. Over 70% of the world's rural poor rely on livestock.
3. While livestock bring opportunities, there are also challenges to be addressed

Small livestock like poultry, rabbits, and guinea pigs can help achieve several UN Millennium Development Goals through poverty reduction and improved nutrition, health, and empowerment of women. Keeping small livestock allows even landless families to generate income, provides high-quality food, and produces manure for crops. Projects supporting small livestock have increased incomes, school attendance, and consumption of protein-rich foods in developing countries.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
