Conservation of farm animal genetic resourcesIllaya Kumar
India is a vast country, rich in biodiversity. With its geographical area of 329 million hectares, India has almost all the climatic conditions and ecological zones found in different parts of the world, ranging from perpetual snow cover to equatorial and tropical conditions, from mangroves to humid tropics and hot and cold deserts as well as all the intermediate conditions. Before the advent of fossil fuel, animal energy was the only source of farm power and that also mainly from bullocks. In the recent past, a number of native breeds are facing fast genetic degradation and dilution because of intensive production system and unplanned introduction and use of exotic germplasm. This scenario, if continued, might result in depletion of the invaluable native germplasm having better potentiality for production, draught capacity, resistance to diseases and heat tolerance ability. In general, indigenous breeds provide the necessary genetic diversity needed by modern agriculture as a means to ensure stability and are vital building blocks for future livestock breeding programmes. Conservation of indigenous animal is needed for Genetic insurance, Scientific study, Economic potential, Environmental considerations, Cultural and ethical requirements, Energy source by In situ or Ex situ conservation techniques. There are some agencies like NBAGR involved in livestock conservation and the government also implemented projects for breeds conservation. There are many successful stories such as Sabarmathi Ashram goshala in the conservation of native breeds. Many foreign countries have realized the genetic potential of our indigenous breeds and using them for improvement of their germplasm. It is high time to proceed to conserve our germplasm.

Fermentation of carbohydrates in the rumen of dairy cows produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) like acetic, propionic, and butyric acid. Acetic acid is used for energy and milk fat synthesis. Propionic acid is converted to glucose in the liver. Butyric acid is converted to ketones that provide energy. A balance of fibrous and non-fibrous carbohydrates in the diet optimizes VFA production and milk yield. Changing the forage-to-concentrate ratio impacts VFA profiles and influences milk production, fat content, and feed efficiency.
This document discusses feeding of swine, including their nutrient requirements and different diets. Some key points:

3. New technologies like electronic identification systems are also used for permanent identification. Proper identification allows for monitoring individual animal performance and healthcare.
Heat treatment and chemical treatments can increase the bypass protein content of feed ingredients fed to ruminants. Heat treatment through processes like autoclaving can increase the rumen undegraded protein fraction by denaturing proteins and forming protein-carbohydrate complexes. Chemical treatments using formaldehyde or lignosulfonate can also increase rumen undegraded protein by forming cross-links between amino acids or precipitating protein respectively, making it less susceptible to microbial breakdown in the rumen. The level of treatment and feed ingredient impacts the effectiveness at increasing bypass protein for ruminant digestion and nutrition.
Nutrition is the foundation of good production in small ruminants like sheep and goats. Nutrient requirements depend on several factors including species, size, age, stage of production, level of production like number of fetuses, and climate.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) of Dairy and beef cattles Mohmed Sarhan
Global Greenhouse gas Emissions in animal production: towards an
Integrated life cycle sustainability assessment from Ruminant Farming Systems
Abstract
The objectives of this review were to evaluate the environmental impacts of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and emissions intensity (Ei) for the small ruminants, Dairy and beef cattle livestock production systems using the life-cycle assessment (LCA) method with a system boundaries from “Cradle-to- farm-gate” and to promote the other capability of this internationally accepted approach nowadays in the agriculture world to determine weaknesses and robustness and/or the performance of the livestock production system adapted in any regions or areas of examination. This aim was illustrated using results from LCAs in the literature and from a pilot study of different production systems. The emissions were estimated using a whole farm GHGs models, based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodology with a yearly time-step. By recognizing different farming systems for ruminant species (i.e. pasture, mixed, and zero grazing). with specific reference to recent published models, outline general conclusions from application of these published models, and describe some limitations and risks associated with these approaches. Certain models were adapted (i.e. an economic optimization model, an environmental assessment model) in which it considers all significant CH4, N2O, and CO2 emissions and removals on the farm and off-farm emissions of N2O derived from nitrogen applied on the farm. This review however, shows that LCAs of different case studies currently cannot be compared directly. Such a comparison requires further international standardization of the LCA method. Nonetheless a recent collective global LCA estimated the GHG intensity of ruminant supply chains to produce 5.7 gigatonnes CO2-eq per annum representing about 80% of the livestock sector emissions. Enteric Methane CH4 was the largest contributing source of GHG accounting for 47%. N2O from soil and deposited manure accounted for a further 24%, while LUC is estimated to contribute 9% of the sector’s overall GHG emissions. However, LCAs should be performed at a large number of practical farms for each production system of interest. Application of LCA on practical farms, however, requires in-depth research to understand underlying processes, and to predict, or measure, variation in emissions realized in practice.
Consumers purchase a significant portion of fresh meat and poultry from supermarkets but represent a smaller percentage of prepared foods sales. Convenience is the top reason consumers buy ready-to-eat meat items from supermarkets. About 7 in 10 frequent prepared foods shoppers want to see more beef options. Boldly seasoned sauces and burgers stand out as preferred beef dishes, especially for lunch.

Carbohydrates serve important structural and energy functions in animals. They are present in small amounts in animal bodies, mainly in blood, muscles and liver in the form of glycogen. Carbohydrates can be divided into soluble and insoluble types based on digestibility. Soluble carbohydrates like sugars and starches are easily digested while insoluble fibers like cellulose are not digestible by non-ruminants but can be broken down by microbes in ruminant digestive systems. Carbohydrates provide energy, are components of important biological molecules, help regulate blood glucose levels, and support growth of beneficial microbes in ruminant digestive systems.
Meat is the edible portion of mammals that contains muscle, fat, bone and connective tissue. It is usually the most expensive food item, accounting for 30-70% of food costs. The main types of meat are beef, veal, lamb, pork and variety meats. Beef comes from cattle over 1 year old, veal from young cattle 3-14 weeks old. Lamb is from sheep under 14 months while mutton is from older sheep. Pork is from hogs under 1 year old. Variety meats include organs and offal. Meat is inspected to ensure it is wholesome and safe to eat and may also be graded for quality. Common cooking methods for meat include high-heat browning
This document discusses housing and facilities needs for beef cattle operations. It addresses seasonal requirements like grazing areas in summer and shelters in winter. It recommends perimeter fencing of high tensile or smooth electric wire and interior temporary fencing. Housing should provide shelter from weather and have proper ventilation. Portable three-sided calf shelters can provide protection for young stock. Windbreaks are also important to protect cattle from wind. The climatic conditions cattle can tolerate depend on factors like temperature, wind and diet. Overall housing needs vary based on the cattle's growth phases and local climate.

It describes the key components, including the transport layer which uses an append-only journal to prevent message loss, a high speed processing chain using ring buffers, a REST API that allows building custom front ends, an embedded Elasticsearch cluster for fast writing, and an index aliasing system to seamlessly switch between indexes. The goal is to provide the fastest machine data processing through an optimized architecture and attention to small performance details.
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.
Cows are increasingly confined indoors on dairy farms, receiving little opportunity to graze outside. The Free Range Dairy Network aims to change this by certifying dairies where cows enjoy freedom to graze in fields for at least six months each year. The standards are designed to be achievable on farms while giving cows a natural lifestyle. Certified dairies provide milk from cows that can graze on grass in summer and eat conserved grass in winter.
1. Poultry farming involves breeding birds such as chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese for their meat and eggs. It is a multi-step process involving breeder farms, hatcheries, rearing farms, catching and processing.
