Feed Mill Industry in Bangladesh: A Recent Survey in 2018
The survey found that there are currently 129 active feed mills in Bangladesh, with 96 registered and 33 unregistered. Dhaka division has the most active registered feed mills at 46. While 198 feed mills are registered total, 102 are currently inactive. The business areas of unregistered mills are confined to 2-3 districts within the same division. The top 15 feed mills account for over 70% of the market share in Bangladesh. Overall the feed industry in Bangladesh is competitive but there is opportunity to establish more mills in divisions like Sylhet that currently have none.
Recent diagnosis and treatment of milk fever in
The basis principal to prevent milk fever is to maintain a high plasma Ca level at the time of parturition to overcome the sudden high demand for Ca. For that hormonal therapy and dietary manipulations are successful. Among them, hormonal therapy does not seem to work in the field as it needs an accurate prediction of the date of parturition for the administration of hormones. The dietary manipulation may be the best and easiest way to prevent milk fever in this regard. The supplementation of anionic diet salts brings about a mild acidosis in the body thus increasing the rapid absorption of Ca through intestine and bone resorption.Thus the extracellular level of Ca increases which helps in coping with the demand of Ca particularly in the early lactation. To be more sure of prevention of the disease, anionic salts should be supplemented with high Ca diet so that sufficient amount of Ca is absorbed through intestine. Among the anionic salts, MgSo4 may be used commonly as it is more palatable to the animals and cheap. However, ammonium salts such as NH4Cl and NH4SO4 although effective are less palatable. A useful tool is to measure the urine pH i.e. pH 5.5-6.5 to monitor anion cation balance in diet.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
- The horse management plan is relatively simple. In its simplest form it is simply a set of lists. One list describes the needs of the horse for a clean, dry comfortable environment. Another list describes the needa and wants of the owner. This may include the labor and management activities the owner wants to put in place for the care of the horse. The barn design should fit the owners management plan. The specifications of the building are a list of features that will meet both the horses needs, and the owners needs and wants. These features can be incorporated into the building design. Prioritizing and deciding on the the list of building features will usually become part of the budgeting process to determine where money will be spent. Needs are usually higher priority than wants, but if the budget is large enough they may be part of the project. Wants of the owners may or may not be necessary to the comfort of the animal and may be of lower priority in the budget if choices must be made on how and where the budget will be spent.
