Meat Productivity

To increase goat-meat production, this study has been aimed to evaluate goat-meat production potentiality using different management strategies of goat-population rather than goat-meat productivity management in Bangladesh. Simulation Matrix (SIMM) model was used under three scenarios of goat-population management strategies such as Scenario1(Base rate): 2 kids/year production with 30% kid mortality, Scenario 2: Production of 6 kids/year with 30% kid mortality and Scenario 3: Production of 6 kids/year with 10% kid mortality to analyze their impact on goat-meat production in Bangladesh. Results showed on average only 270.09 thousand ton /year of goat-meat can produce at the existing rate (2 kids Production/year with 30% kid mortality). If it is possible to increase kid production up to 6 then can produce on average 23714.4 thousand ton/year of goat-meat. Further, it is possible to reduce the kid mortality rate up to 10%, goat-meat is the highest 932430.0 thousand ton/year. Result indicated a great positive impact of goat-population management strategies on goat-meat production. Therefore, 10% kid mortality rate with 6 kids/year production of goat-population management could be suitable management or best strategy for higher goat-meat production in Bangladesh.

Meat Productivity

Increasing the competitiveness of products based on a more complete use, preservation and improvement of the existing breed potential, adaptation to local natural and technological conditions is an urgent problem of animal husbandry. The purpose of the research was to determine the meat productivity of Tuvinian castrate goats in the year of their birth. The article presents The results of a research of the meat productivity of young Tuvinian coarse-wooled goats in the year of birth during feeding and fattening. The obtained data have shown that in the year of birth the optimal age for obtaining meat production is 8 months. When fattening, the young Tuvinian goats surpass their herdmates of the Soviet wool breed in terms of slaughter and meat qualities. In order to increase the production of young goats environmentally friendly goat meat from young Tuvinian goats in the year of their birth, it is necessary to practice their graziery and fattening up to 8 months of age. Fattening provides higher weight gains and better indicators of meat productivity than when feeding on natural pastures. Weight of carcasses is higher by 3,41 %, slaughter weight by 3,82 %, carcass yield by 1,82 %. When fattening young Tuvinian coarse-wooled goats at slaughter and meat quality is superior to their herdmates Soviet wool breed: weight before slaughter by 11,4 %, the hot carcass weight by 10,5 %, slaughter weight by 12,7 %, slaughter yield by 0,55 %. In order to increase the production of young, environmentally friendly, dietary goat meat from young Tuvinian goats in the year of their birth, it is necessary to practice their graziery and fattening up to 8 months of age.

It is known that necessary to replace the components of organic acids, which are part of acidifiers when drinking water to poultry in order to prevent the adaptation of microbes in the gastrointestinal tract. In the poultry industry organic acids are widely used, which are used as acidifiers to preserve the properties of water consumed. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of broiler meat production when using acidifying agents of drinking water Aquasafe and Veleguard. The experimental part of the work has been performed in JSC “Kurinoe Tsarstvo-Bryansk” broiler area “Roshcha” in the Pochepsky district. The object of research was the livestock of broiler chickens cross Cobb 500 at floor housing. The effect of water acidifiers on meat productivity has been studied. Groups of chickens have been formed on the principle of pairs-analogues. Broiler chickens of experimental groups have been separated from the main livestock by a grid in the corner of the room for 100 heads in each group. It has been found by a result of research to be optimal dose usage of acidifying agents water Aquasafe and Veleguard to drink to broiler chickens. The positive effect of these acidifiers on the digestion of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, contributing to the effective use of nitrogen, which led to an increase in the intensity of growth, young animals’ livability and improved feed conversion. Slaughter yield in the control group was 55,1 %, and in the experimental group 57,2 and 58,4 %, which was by 2,1 and 3,3 % higher with the same level of metabolic energy and nutrients. In chickens that consumed acidifi ers more intensively used nutrients feed for deposition in the body of the components of the carcass, which affected the production. A positive impact of acidifying agents Aquasafe and Veleguard on meat quality in broiler chickens has been found.

OBJECTIVE: To compare mortality rates due to respiratory diseases among elderly individuals residing in the Federal District of Brasília, Brazil, prior to and after the implementation of a national influenza vaccination campaign. METHODS: This was an ecological time series analysis. Data regarding the population of individuals who were over 60 years of age between 1996 and 2009 were obtained from official databases. The variables of interest were the crude mortality rate (CMR), the mortality rate due to the respiratory disease (MRRD), and the proportional mortality ratio (PMR) for respiratory diseases. We performed a qualitative analysis of the data for the period prior to and after the implementation of the vaccination campaign (1996-1999 and 2000-2009, respectively). RESULTS: The CMR increased with advancing age. Over the course of the study period, we observed reductions in the CMR in all of the age brackets studied, particularly among those aged 80 years or older. Reductions in the MRRD were also found in all of the age groups, especially in those aged 80 years or older. In addition, there was a decrease in the PMR for respiratory diseases in all age groups throughout the study period. The most pronounced decrease in the PMR for respiratory diseases in the ≥ 70 year age bracket occurred in 2000 (immediately following the implementation of the national vaccination campaign); in 2001, that rate increased in all age groups, despite the greater adherence to the vaccination campaign in comparison with that recorded for 2000. CONCLUSIONS: Influenza vaccination appears to have a positive impact on the prevention of mortality due to respiratory diseases, particularly in the population aged 70 or over.

World over life was going at its normal pace when an outbreak occurred in Hubei province of China in the later part of the year 2019. This outbreak was soon found to be caused by a virus named coronavirus (COVID-19). Rapidly the virus spread globally leading to a pandemic. The mortality rate was increasing day by day and helplessly everyone was wondering what actually could be done to prevent the spread. Lessons from the past epidemic made it possible to think that maintaining social distancing and adequate hygiene might help to combat the ailment. In India, majorly affected were the people from poor strata and the businessmen who were earning their daily bread by selling things of daily need. The health sector too witnessed an alarming ratio of patients suffering from COVID-19. The second wave, which soon followd the first wave, caused much more havoc. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic, exposed and challanged the health security system of every country. As the danger of pandemic still prevails, steps to curtail the spread of disease and future management strategies should be formulated from the lessons learnt through the COVID-19 phase.

Abstract: The Animal husbandry department of Kerala and local self-government department and Kudumbashree mission has started a plan during 2018-19 entitled “Backyard broiler farming” at Vattamkulam Gramapanchayath, Edappal, Malappuram district. The said plan was advertised as ‘Earn money at your doorstep through broiler farming’ and was welcomed by more than 40 household women. The farmers who owned a land area, not less than 10 cents were selected for this model. The local self- Government provided the shelter arrangements including cages for free of cost. The Animal husbandry department has supplied chicks (Day old Cobb varieties) and feed and aided Kudumbashree unit to market these broilers. The speciality of broiler farming is that within a short period (35 – 40 days) a chick gains an average weight of 2 – 2.3 kg, which can be sold at market to earn a reasonable margin of profit for farmers. The usual mortality rate was 5% for broiler farming, but it was less than 2 % in this model. Modified vaccination protocol against the viral disease Gumboro (I.B.D), has been adopted for this model to reduce the mortality rate. Also, antibiotics as feed additives were not supplemented in this model. Within 40 days, these women entrepreneurs are getting a good profit from meat production alone. This broiler meat is marketed under the brand name of Vattamkulam Safe Chicken. The Vattamkulam backyard broiler farming helps the household women support themselves and provide safe and quality meat to society in which they belong.

The Cost

The clinical manifestations of PRRS virus infection vary from subclinical to severe reproductive failure and/or respiratory disease. Severity of PRRS virus associated disease may result from interactions among factors involving differences in virulence among PRRS virus isolates, probable recombination between the different isolates that are responsible for the clinical manifestation of PRRS in the same farm, differences in concurrent infections (other viruses and bacteria) and hygiene monitoring programme. It is known that viruses and bacteria interacted and the most common model of this interaction is that pathogens bacteria complicate the lesions that are due to viruses. PRRS virus induces predisposition to Streptococcus suis in nursery age pigs and increases susceptibility to Salmonella choleraesuis, Bordetella bronchiseptica and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Furthermore, PRRS virus is involved in aetiology and predispose to appearance of Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC) Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) and Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome (PDNS). The respiratory form of PRRS co-infection with Aujeszky' disease causes severe losses in swine herds due to respiratory problems. In cases of PRRS co-infections with other agents, the cost of pork meat production is raised from the treatments and other special management strategies. Up to date, in Greece, PRRS is appeared with the enzootic form (independendy of the season) with elevations and declines. In Greek swine industry, PRRS virus is involved as primary pathogen agent in cautions of mortality of growing/finishing pigs. During the last years, the presence of the new syndromes of PRDC, PMWS and PDNS causes additional economical losses and increases the cost of Greek pork meat production. The unpublished data of editors indicate that during last year, PRRS caused severe losses in Greek swine industry. Cases of PRRS were noticed in farms which purchased gilts or piglets without keeping out preventive facilities of biosecurity as quarantine, serology examinations etc. The syndrome was appeared with the respiratory form in growing/finishing pigs associated with severe losses, due to the entrance of «new» different isolates of PRRS virus from the purchase of gilts or piglets. It is probably that these «new» different isolates were more virulent than the preexisted isolates or/and predominated with them. In cases, where severe respiratory signs in growing/finishing pigs and no or moderate reproductive form of PRRS were noticed, it is probable that the vaccinations of sows against PRRS did not protect the growing/finishing pigs or the «new» different isolates of PRRS virus had more respiratory than reproductive tropism or coexistenced in all earlier circumstances. Today, PRRS is a dangerous risk factor for the Greek swine industry and for this reason it is important to apply all preventive facilities as: vaccinations, reduction of the introduction gilts and maintenance of a grandparent nucleus in the farm for producing gilts, quarantine and serological monitoring for all introduced animals (gilts and piglets), as well as the purchase of animals from PRRS-negative farms. The purchase of piglets has to be avoided because it induces negative effects on the clinical manifestation and control of PRRS.

BackgroundCurrent guidelines suggest treating cancer patients with incidental pulmonary embolism (PE) similar to those with clinically-suspected and confirmed PE. However, the natural history of these presentations has not been thoroughly compared.MethodsWe used the data from the RIETE registry to compare the 3-month outcomes in patients with active cancer and incidental PE versus those with clinically-suspected and confirmed PE. The primary outcome was 90-day all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were PE-related mortality, symptomatic PE recurrences and major bleeding.ResultsFrom July 2012 to January 2019, 946 cancer patients with incidental asymptomatic PE and 2274 with clinically-suspected and confirmed PE were enrolled. Most patients (95% versus 90%) received low-molecular-weight heparin therapy. During the first 90 days, 598 patients died, including 42 from PE. Patients with incidental PE had a lower all-cause mortality rate than those with suspected and confirmed PE (11% versus 22%; odds ratio [OR]: 0.43; 95%CI: 0.34–0.54). Results were consistent for PE-related mortality (0.3% versus 1.7%; OR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.06–0.59). Multivariable analysis confirmed that patients with incidental PE were at lower risk to die (adjusted OR: 0.43; 95%CI: 0.34–0.56). Overall, 29 patients (0.9%) developed symptomatic PE recurrences, and 122 (3.8%) had major bleeding. There were no significant differences in PE recurrences (OR: 0.62; 95%CI: 0.25–1.54) or major bleeding (OR: 0.78; 95%CI: 0.51–1.18).ConclusionsCancer patients with incidental PE had a lower mortality rate than those with clinically-suspected and confirmed PE. Further studies are required to validate these findings, and to explore optimal management strategies in these patients.

The Impact

Context Strategies for achieving greater ruminant livestock productivity are essential to meet the food demands of growing populations, but sustainable changes are difficult to identify given the inherent complexity of such systems. Systems models can address this issue by allowing the impact of potential changes to be explored. Aims To develop a holistic systems model for goat production in an extensive Mediterranean environment which could allow changes in key management factors influencing the system to be investigated. Methods Initially, a conceptual comprehensive stock-and-flow model of a representative Mediterranean goat production system was constructed. This was used to identify informative indicators that would represent the overall technical and economic performance of the system. Sub-models were then assembled to build the full systems model. The model was parameterised with data collected over 3 years for goat holdings in northern Morocco. Scenario analysis techniques are used to explore the strategies that optimise performance under climate and feed price challenges. Key results Meat production is particularly important during periods of drought when increased meat yields can counteract the expected reduction in milk yields, to protect human food security, prevent excessive rangeland degradation and preserve natural nutritional resources. Feed price shocks during drought can have significant negative impacts on the system and zero feed input is shown to be a more sustainable strategy than reliance on high price feed during drought. Any alternative feed sources need to have a high forage component to reduce grazing periods significantly and promote rangeland preservation. Implications A diverse management strategy with a mixed meat and dairy semi-intensive production is more stable than specialised dairy systems and allows goat production and financial viability of intensification to be maintained under climatic stress; maintaining meat production was necessary to optimise performance. Conclusions The model allows improved insight into management strategies which could optimise animal husbandry performance in goat subsistence systems. However, the work also demonstrates the difficulty of constructing a truly holistic model since, to be practical, such constructs must necessarily be bounded; parameter selection and the limits to the boundaries imposed are inevitably critical.
