This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject African Studies, Jimma University College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (Department of Animal Sciences), language: English, abstract: This review was aimed to indicate the dairy cattle production system including small holder, pastoral and agro pastoral, urban and per urban and intensive dairy cattle production system, breeding practice including mating system (natural mating and AI), breeding objective and reproductive and productive traits of dairy cattle in Ethiopia. Now in Ethiopia most farmers use natural, unplanned and uncontrolled mating system by using breeding from communal grazing and a few farmer use AI for improvement of breed and production by upgrading the genetic makeup of indigenous breed of cattle. Therefore, in Ethiopia, there is a need to use breeding objectives in line effective breeding policies for both AI and natural service for sustainable and effective animal breeding practice. There should be appropriate animal breeders, policy designers and stalk holders have to give due attention to transform the existing traditional breeding practices targeting towards dairy productivity and production with careful consideration of genetic conservation of local cattle breeds.

Download or read book Pathogenic and Symbiotic Bacteria in Ruminants Antimicrobial Resistance and Microbial Homeostasis written by Yi Yang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruminants have been domesticated for thousands of years, living alongside and providing many benefits to human beings in various ways. They provide food, fiber, power, biomaterials, and share in providing traditional medicine for people worldwide. However, bacterial infections do not only impact domestic and wild animals which may cause economic loss and health issues but also represent a great threat to the health of human beings. Moreover, due to the inadvertent use of antimicrobials, especially in the treatment of bovine mastitis, the resultant antimicrobial resistance is raising our concerns. Meanwhile, symbiotic bacteria play an important role in the ruminants who have a unique digestive system that allows them to better use energy from fibrous plant material than other herbivores. Therefore, all of these challenges urge researchers to pay more attention to the emergence and the molecular characterization of pathogenic/multidrug-resistant bacteria in addition to the gastroenterological microbiome dysbiosis in ruminants. The purpose of this Research Topic is to highlight and stimulate discussions regarding the antimicrobial resistance and microbial homeostasis of pathogenic and symbiotic bacteria in ruminants and their products, thereby helping us further understand the role of bacteria in the pathological and physiological processes of ruminants. In addition, more attention should be paid to low-cost and effective antimicrobials alternatives for the prevention and/or treatment of bacterial diseases in ruminants, in order to reduce the potential threat to the health of human beings resulting from the overreliance on antimicrobial therapy.

Download or read book Economics of Land Degradation and Improvement A Global Assessment for Sustainable Development written by Ephraim Nkonya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with land degradation, which is occurring in almost all terrestrial biomes and agro-ecologies, in both low and high income countries and is stretching to about 30% of the total global land area. About three billion people reside in these degraded lands. However, the impact of land degradation is especially severe on livelihoods of the poor who heavily depend on natural resources. The annual global cost of land degradation due to land use and cover change (LUCC) and lower cropland and rangeland productivity is estimated to be about 300 billion USD. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) accounts for the largest share (22%) of the total global cost of land degradation. Only about 38% of the cost of land degradation due to LUCC - which accounts for 78% of the US$300 billion loss – is borne by land users and the remaining share (62%) is borne by consumers of ecosystem services off the farm. The results in this volume indicate that reversing land degradation trends makes both economic sense, and has multiple social and environmental benefits. On average, one US dollar investment into restoration of degraded land returns five US dollars. The findings of the country case studies call for increased investments into the rehabilitation and restoration of degraded lands, including through such institutional and policy measures as strengthening community participation for sustainable land management, enhancing government effectiveness and rule of law, improving access to markets and rural services, and securing land tenure. The assessment in this volume has been conducted at a time when there is an elevated interest in private land investments and when global efforts to achieve sustainable development objectives have intensified. In this regard, the results of this volume can contribute significantly to the ongoing policy debate and efforts to design strategies for achieving sustainable development goals and related efforts to address land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
Download or read book Tackling Climate Change Through Livestock written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.

Download or read book Breeding Strategies for Sustainable Management of Animal Genetic Resources written by Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic improvement is an essential component of the management of animal genetic resources and can make important contributions to food security and rural development. Yet, the majority of developing countries have not been successful in sustaining breed development programmes. The objective of these guidelines is to help countries plan and develop effective genetic improvement programmes and to maximize the chances that such programmes will be sustained. These guidelines address Strategic Priority Area 2 of the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic resources adopted in 2007, and are intended for use by policy-makers and organizations involved in livestock development.
