Agricultural Research in Ghana: the role of the Animal Research Institute Library

The role of turf serving animal husbandry is significantly declining with the decreasing number of grazing livestock in Hungary. Accordingly, the area of under-utilized or non-utilized turfs is increasing. At the University of Debrecen, Institutes for Agricultural Research and Educational Farm, Karcag Research Institute we studied four types of turf utilization in three repetitions on a salt meadow with Alopecurus pratensis. As a result of the performed examinations, we identified the composition of the flora structure on the investigated area and we measured carbon-dioxide circulation and soil moisture.

Reproductive Physiology Program, Animal Research Institute, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1A 0C6 and * Department of Animal and Poultry Science, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, N1G 2W1 (Received 15 May 1978) The ability of the conceptus to synthesize oestrogens during the early stages of pregnancy has recently been receiving increasing attention. Among the domesticated species, the day 12 blastocyst of the pig has been shown to be capable of synthesizing oestrogens (Perry, Heap & Amoroso, 1973; Gadsby, Burton, Heap & Perry, 1976) and oestrone sulphate, synthesized as a product of conception, has been shown to be present in the peripheral plasma of the pregnant pig as early as day 17 (Robertson & King, 1974; Robertson, King & Dyck, 1978). In the pregnant ewe, oestrone sulphate has been shown to be the predominant oestrogen in allantoic fluid and to be present in measurable concentrations as early as day 30 (Carnegie & Robertson,

The failure of Boophilus microplus to be cleansed of Babesia bigemina while the ticks were growing on non-bovine hosts, as well as the infection of the non-bovine hosts, was demonstrated in experiments in which infected ticks were released on a number of sheep, a goat and a horse.Seven of ten batches of ticks, collected from six non-bovine hosts, retained their babesia-infection.Blood subinoculated into cattle from seven of nine sheep and from the horse showed that these animals carried B. bigemina whilst the ticks were feeding on them. This suggested that ticks may have become reinfected from the non-bovine hosts, a possibility supported by the finding of B. bigemina in blood smears from two of the sheep.This work was performed at the Animal Research Institute, Yeerongpilly, and in the Department of Parasitology, University of Queensland, and supported by funds from both organizations. I am indebted to Mr G. D. Daly for technical assistance, to Professor J. F. A. Sprent and Dr H. M. D. Hoyte for their interest and help.

Rapid Transformation

Abstract Agri-food systems include branching ramifications, which connect in the upstream the input suppliers with farmers, and downstream farmers, processors, retailers and consumers. In the last decades, at the level of the regions, food systems have undergone rapid transformation as a result of technological progress. The paper analyzes the changes made to the structure, behavior and performance of the agri-food system and the impact on farmers and consumers. Also, the role of agricultural research as a determinant factor of transformation of agri-food system is analyzed. The research objective is to develop technologies that cover the entire food chain (from farm to fork) and meet the specific requirements of consumers (from fork to farm) through scientific solutions in line with the principles of sustainable agriculture and ensuring the safety and food safety of the population.
