İç Anadolu Bölgesinin Organik Koyunculuk Potansiyelinin Değerlendirilmesi

Organic production is mostly appeared in the field of plant production and it has become increasingly widespread. But, organic livestock production process has begun depending on trends of want to consumption of high safe animal products of consumers as like in plant products in developed countries, increasing of environmental consciousness and sensitivity to animal rights. Central Anatolia Region is an important region for the organic livestock production, in terms of being one of the most polluted regions due to intensive agriculture and industry, having number of animals and grasslands. The aim of this study is determining the potential of organic sheep breeding and presenting a general view with investigating the general situation and changing by year plant and livestock production of Central Anatolia Region.

Organic Livestock Production: A Bibliometric Review

Due to the increasing interest in organic farming, an overview of this research area is provided through a bibliometric analysis conducted between April and May 2019. A total of 320 documents were published up until 2018 on organic livestock farming, with an annual growth rate of 9.33% and a clear increase since 2005; 268 documents have been published in 111 journals. Germany is the country with the largest number of published papers (56 documents). Authors’ top keywords (excluding keywords used for running the search) included: animal welfare (29 times), animal health (22 times), cattle (15 times), grazing (10 times), and sheep (10 times). This could indicate that more research has been done on cattle because of the importance of this species in Germany. Moreover, the prevalence of the terms ‘animal welfare’ and ‘animal health’ may indicate that the research on organic livestock production has been focused on these two areas. The bibliometric analysis indicates that: (i) countries focused the organic livestock production research on their main production, and (ii) more research in species other than cattle and sheep is needed.

367 Organic versus conventional grain on placental factors in caprine

Organic products are increasing in popularity due to consumer interest and animal products are no exception. Trends towards organic livestock diets have increased yet many questions exist regarding potential health benefits or negative increased cost from the organic product. Organic livestock diets could impact reproductive health yet research into organic feedstuffs is lacking. Previous research examined impacts of diet on placental factors and indicated nutrient transfer from dams to fetus. Impacts of organic practices on livestock reproduction has not been explored, as studies linking nutrition and reproductive abilities have been limited to conventional diets, despite increases in organic practices. The objective of the current study observed differences in placental factors between Nubian dams fed organic and conventional diets. Placental factors were defined as placental weight and cotyledon factors. Six (n = 3) pregnant Nubian dams were separated into an organic group and conventional group based on BW and BCS. The organic group was fed a certified organic concentrate and organic supplement, which had equivalent nutrients to conventional concentrate and supplement. Dams were fed 0.907kg/d/45.4kg of BW of concentrate and 0.012kg/d/45.4kg of BW in individual feeding stocks at 0630 and 1730 for the last six wks of gestation and three wks post-parturition. Upon expulsion of the placenta, the placenta was weighed, cotyledons were counted, and three cotyledons were measured for height, length, width, and volume. Differences in placental weight and cotyledon factors were analyzed by a two-tailed independent T-Test at P < 0.05. No differences were observed for any of the placental aspects (P = 0.486, 0.987, 0.997, 0.468, 0.448, and 0.809, respectively). Placental aspects, such as number and height, may have been influenced by the number of offspring each dam produced, but was not consistent between groups. Based upon the current study, increased cost of organic livestock production may not be justifiable for most goat producers.

Türkiye’de Organik Koyun ve Keçi Yetiştiriciliğinin Mevcut Durumu ve Gelişim Stratejileri

Conventional production methods are widely used in agricultural production in order to provide healthy and balanced nutrition to the growing population in the world. However, the chemical substances used to increase the efficiency and combat against diseases in plant and animal production affects human and animal health by passing to water and soil. Today, consumers around the world, especially in developed countries such as the European Union (EU) countries, the United States (USA), Japan, Canada and Australia are need of consumption of agricultural products that do not harm the environment and do not affect people and animals negatively. Sheep and goat breeding both in Turkey and in the world, organic animal meat and milk production in the consumer's needs to meet the demands is playing an important role. Worldwide, in 2012, the number of certified organic cattle, sheep and pigs are approximately 4.6, 5.6 and 1.0 million head, respectively. 2015 years, the number of organic certified cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and poultry are approximately 3.7, 0.978, 4.5, 0.718 and 31.6 million head, respectively in the European Union (EU) 28 countries. The most significant increase in organic livestock production in Turkey occurred in goat breeding (652.1%), followed by poultry (187.7%) and sheep (22.3%) breeding. Organic milk and red meat production of Turkey has occurred 2.6% and 38.2% of sheep and 6.3% and 1.6% of goats in 2015 year.

Profil Mikrobiologis Pollard yang Difermentasi dengan Ekstrak Limbah Pasar Sayur pada Lama Peram yang Berbeda

Profile microbiological of pollard fermented with extract of waste vegetable market in different long ripened ABSTRACT. The purpose of fermentation is to produce a product (material feed) that have nutritional content, texture and better biological availability, while it also can reduce the anti-nutritional. Microorganisms are often used as probiotics in feed is kind of Lactobacillus sp and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Microorganisms are able to produce secondary metabolites such as β -glucan, mannan oligosaccharides and anti-cancer. Very familier as probiotic Lactobacillus among humans or livestock , while saccharomyces cerevisiae have specific characteristics in animal feed because of its ability to produce glutamic acid which can increase feed palatability. Grant Saccharomyces cerevisie can enhance digest protein and fiber, such as cellulose and hemicellulose , with Sacaromyces cerevisiea supplementation can increase the rate of short-chain fatty acids in cecum and suppresses the growth of bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae species. Observing the above, needed an activity to find additional engineering efforts antibiotics as a source of natural probiotic , prebiotic and synbiotic on the particular poultry and livestock in general, to take advantage of the waste as a probiotic supplement that naturally produced feed additives to support healthy organic livestock production and economically.

Plant usage in protecting the farm animal health

Phytotherapy, as form of traditional and conventional veterinary medicine, includes curing, alleviation and prevention the onset of diseases in animals based on natural medicinal raw materials and folk remedies made from plants. In animal health care, the use of medicinal and other plants as supporting therapy, in preventive purposes or as a complete therapy has a large potential regardless whether it is the question of individual or combined plant medicinal preparations which act synergistically. Phytotherapy is very intensively used in prophylactic purposes and with the aim of treatment of milder forms of diseases, chronic diseases and recurrent infections as well as in organic livestock production. Extracts and preparations from different plants are used with the aim of intensifying the activity of immune system and stimulations some functions of organism. The great number of herb metabolites shows antimicrobial and antiparasitic activity and gives the positive effects in the treatment of ectoparasitoses and endoparasitoses. This research paper gives a review of the plants most frequently used in ethnoveterinary medicine for health purposes of farm animals.
