Cows, chickens, pigs, lambs, fish, crickets. “Crickets!” You might ask, “What do all of these animals have to do with each other?” The answer is, they are all food. “Food? How can cricket's be food?” The idea or thought of eating insects (entomophagy) might sound surprising to you now but you should start getting used to hearing about it. Mark Twain, a famous American author and humorist, once said, “The secret to success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.” But
increasing in Pakistan due to high population growth (Hussian, Ghafoor & Saboor, 2010). Dairy cattle are the main source for producing the milk in the Pakistan. This source produces 62% of milk by buffaloes and 34% of milk by cows (Zia et al., 2011). The annual milk production from cows increased 7.46 to 9.40 million tonnes and milk production from buffaloes increased 14.96 to 21.33 million tonnes during 1996-2006 (Zia et al., 2011). Globally, Pakistan is the 2nd largest buffalo milk producing country (Hussian
Task 1 Can polar bears and people coexist? Polar bears are the largest land predator on earth today. They live in the Arctic area, surrounded by the northern nations like Norway, Greenland and Canada. The effects of global warming have caused the temperatures to rise, which have led the Arctic ice to melt. Because the polar bears’ territory is shrinking, they are forced to hunt further inland. They usually hunt on the sea ice, but they cannot do that now. A polar bear can starve for months, but
What if I would say that beef ribs and chicken hams on your plate cause environmental problems such as deforestation, pollution of the oceans, rivers, seas and air, climate change? Would you still eat flesh-meat, knowing it can destroy our fragile earth within some period of time? Since now future of the world depends on people’s choice to eat meat or not. How did it appear that piece of meat from your plate could destroy whole environment? The point is in the fact, that before appearing on your
There are numerous elements to the enhanced greenhouse effect. The causes are divided into two categories, the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and the reduction of carbon sinks. Both of these are caused by human over-consumption, such as combustion of fossil fuels, and mass farming. The greenhouse gases cause global warming and this can have many disastrous effects to the climate and natural life cycles. Global warming is a much debated issue. Many scientists believe it to be a caused
Commercially available feed additives for poultry and livestock Feed additives Food supplement for the animals that cannot get enough nutrients from regular meals For example vitamins ,a,b,c,d,e,k,amino acids,preservatives,essential fatty acids emulsifiers and essential micro minerals. If the animal not contain specific nutrient in its diet then it may not grow properly. Nutritional values of feeds not influenced only on nutrient content,but also on the other factors. Types of feed additives Sensory
compost by reuse & recycling of cattle dung and cow dung slurry from Gaushla and Biogas plants and its successful management through a low cost technology at village Bhounti; promoted by Kanpur3 Gaushala Society (KGS), Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and is a good example of income generation from solid waste management by using a very low cost technology. Main features: Vermi composting involves the stabilization of cow dung through earthworms, which converts cow/cattle dung into worm castings. Vermi composting
can be produced from a cow of either sex of any breed, most veal comes from young male beef cattle. Generally, veal is more expensive than beef from older cattle. Newborn calves are given a varied amount of time with their mothers, which can be anything from a few hours to a few days. Free-raised calves are raised alongside their mothers, and always have access to their mothers' milk. The modern veal industry has strong connections with the dairy industry. To produce milk, cows must be lactating, and
Base on the study of Chivian, E. (2002) Biodiversity plays very important role in human nutrition through its influence on world food production. All of the plants products that operated by human either directly or indirectly, were came originally from wild ancestors. And also those animals that domesticated by human. Domesticated animals and plants were selected and bred for their desirable traits, but because of the environmental circumstances and those stress change, as the requirements and preference
however, well documented that warming will alter heat exchange between animal and environment and, feed intake, growth, reproduction, health and production are all affected potentially. The thermoregulatory mechanism like increase in respiration rate and pulse rate as initial response to increase in ambient temperature above upper critical temperature incur energy expenditure and thus adversely affect the production. Producing animals face heat stress during summer and rainy season in India and
