This book was released on 2013 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethiopia is known for its leading livestock head in the continent. However, unlike the fact that agricultural knowledge and information play a significant role in improving productivity, linking producers to remunerative markets, improving competitiveness in markets, research studies on the current livestock production and productivity is lacking in most parties of the country. So this book will contribute its best by offering critically important information on the existing cattle husbandry practices, milk production, handling, processing and marketing system in one of the north most districts in the country. Furthermore, it might be a clue for designing appropriate dairy development strategies, market orientations and providing base line information for further research and development.

Download or read book Milk Production Processing and Marketing written by Khalid Javed and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milk is considered as a complete diet for an infant and contains essential nutrients for the development of young mammals. The substances in milk provide energy and antibodies that help protect against infection. Most farmers are paid for the quality and composition of their milk. Whole milk, once approved for use, is pumped into storage silos where it undergoes pasteurization, homogenization, separation, and further processing. Milk is a highly perishable commodity because it is an excellent medium for the growth of microorganisms - particularly bacterial pathogens - that can cause spoilage as well as diseases in consumers. Milk processing allows the preservation of milk for days, weeks, or months and helps to reduce food-borne illness.

Book excerpt: Forschungsarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Agrarwissenschaften, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The study was conducted in Kucha District of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia to assess cow milk handling and processing practices. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the study district and kebeles and a total of 138 respondents were randomilly selected and interviewed. Focus group discussions were conducted separately in each selected kebeles to strengthen the survey data. The predominant milk production system in Ethiopia is the smallholder milk production system, which is mainly dependent on the indigenous zebu breeds of cow with low productivity, which produce about 1.37 liter of milk/cow/day. This system in the country is the subsistence oriented farming and the system is mainly grouped into pastoralists, agro-pastoralists and mixed crop-livestock producers. Milking cows in this sector have an average lactation length of 190 days and an average milk yield of 1.9 liters/day/cow. Even if this sector depends on indigenous breeds of low-producing native cattle, certain progressive small-scale farmers in the various milk sheds are now keeping cross-bred cows that are capable of producing 800 to 1200 liters of milk/cow/lactation and sell milk to co-operative societies and commercial milk collectors. The average cattle herd size in small holder milk production system is about 5.34 per household and out of this herd size, 1.87 consists of local cows and the rest represent other categories of cattle such as oxen, heifers, bulls and calves. Very few crossbred cows are kept in the rural dairy system as a result of feed shortage and difficult in management. The major focus of producers in this system is butter production rather than raw milk. In this system, animals are kept in open shed during the night and left on open grazing fields in all or part of a day.

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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current analysis was conducted to evaluate the potential of nutritional, manure and animal husbandry practices for mitigating methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) - i.e. non-carbon dioxide (CO2) - GHG emissions from livestock production. These practices were categorized into enteric CH4, manure management and animal husbandry mitigation practices. Emphasis was placed on enteric CH4 mitigation practices for ruminant animals (only in vivo studies were considered) and manure mitigation practices for both ruminant and monogastric species. Over 900 references were reviewed; simulation and life cycle assessment analyses were generally excluded
