Alternate Ingredients in Livestock (Herbal Medicine and Phytogenic)

2023-01-23T09:57:14+0330

Due to the increasing population and the increase in people's food expectations, the animal husbandry industry has grown significantly in recent years. In the animal husbandry industry, the use of antibiotics and chemical drugs is very useful. Long-term use of antibiotics causes different strains of pathogenic agents to become more resistant and accumulate antibiotics in animal tissues. The increase of congenital abnormalities, the occurrence of chronic diseases, the ineffectiveness of antibiotic drugs, microbial resistance, and dozens of other complications are the health problems of the indiscriminate use of these compounds. Therefore, to compensate for or minimize these damages, there is a strong need for appropriate alternatives to antibiotics. One of these substances that can have many effects is medicinal plants. Medicinal plants are important alternatives to growth-promoting antibiotics due to their effective substances. Medicinal plants have a very wide range and more research is needed to identify the best effective substance in livestock. Therefore, some of them have been examined in this book.
The contents of this book cover key areas and relevant information necessary for animal science and mainly focus on practical-oriented concepts for using new ingredients. This book contains various materials suitable for students, researchers, nutritionists, scientists, veterinarians, and academicians in the field of animal science.

Recent Progress in Cattle Breeding

2022-09-02T22:00:46+0430

The issue of addressing food and nutrition security is and will remain a huge concern. To meet the demands of a growing population in a changing climate, food systems must become more productive and efficient, but the quality of the food must also be able to satisfy dietary needs. Livestock has been shown to be a reliable source of nutritious food. In addition to producing food, livestock has many other advantages. 13 percent of the world's calories and 28 percent of its protein come from livestock.

The global cattle population amounted to about one billion head in 2022, up from approximately 996 million in 2021. Cattle were first domesticated between 10,000 and 5,000 years ago. Cattle have been bred for their meat and dairy products since prehistoric times. Leather is made from cattle skin, while manure is utilized as fuel and fertilizer for crops. One of the most popular types of meat consumed worldwide is cattle meat, such as beef and veal.

The contents of this book cover key areas and relevant information necessary for breeding cattle and mainly focus on practical-oriented concepts of breeding. This book contains various materials suitable for students, researchers, nutritionists, scientists, veterinarians, and academicians in the field of cattle.

Strategies in Breeding of Sheep and Goats

2022-08-20T22:43:37+0430

Several valuable livestock species, including sheep and goats, have been raised for their meat, milk, fiber, and other byproducts. The most economical animals are thought to be sheep and goats because they can be kept in any weather. Sheep and goats have gained importance in agriculture due to their ideal size, short gestation period, and plentiful milk secretion. Goats and sheep are prevalent in all production systems and have a wide range of climatic adaptations. Because of their smaller bodies than cattle, they also require less feed. This makes it simple to include small ruminants in various farming methods. They have lower production costs, including infrastructure, feeding, and treatment, and require less area, maintenance, and investment. They can coexist with other livestock in small businesses, making them appropriate for mixed farming. Goats are thought to be more cost-effective than sheep for free-range grazing in semi-arid environments. Compared to other domesticated animals, goats are less susceptible to disease. The value of sheep and goats in replacing cattle in the production of meat, milk, and dung is being acknowledged more and more in the recent century.

The contents of this book cover key areas and relevant information necessary for breeding sheep and goats and mainly focus on practical-oriented concepts of breeding. This book contains various materials suitable for students, researchers, nutritionists, scientists, veterinarians, and academicians in the field of sheep and goats.

Guide to the Use of Phytobiotics in Animal Sciences

2022-01-02T21:03:06+0330

Significant costs are incurred by the livestock industry for the use of antibiotics for the treatment and prevention of pathogens. Due to all the positive effects of antibiotics, these compounds remain in meat and eggs and are transmitted to humans through the consumption of animal products. This makes the pathogens of the human body resistant to antibiotics, and antibiotics are not effective when people have an illness or infection. In this century, this is one of the problems of human societies and scientists are looking to solve this problem. Modern diseases are all caused by antibiotic resistance. Certainly, the replacement of medicinal plants will create a great revolution in the livestock industry. At present, the change of direction and orientation of large pharmaceutical companies towards herbal medicines shows the attention to this field of industry. Medicinal plants are considered important alternatives to growth-promoting antibiotics in the livestock industry due to their effective substances. Medicinal plants have no side effects or environmental problems. Also, it causes meat to taste good, improve gastrointestinal function, have antimicrobial effects, extensive antioxidant activity, stimulate the immune system and improve nutrient absorption. By optimizing the extraction of active ingredients in medicinal plants, we can produce a variety of herbal medicines and growth stimulants needed by the livestock industry in the world, thereby eliminating antibiotics in livestock and poultry diets and increasing the profitability and health of the community.

Double Row Planting Arrangement

2021-09-11T10:35:05+0430

In order to find essential information for efficient management of corn and sorghum fields many separate experiments have been done to getting high yield. An increasing number of plants per area, without negative effect to vegetative and productive yield components, double row planting arrangement suggested. Researches with plant densities of 45000-350000 plants per hectare and planting patterns of a single row, double row with 15 cm space, and double row with 20 cm space arranged in factorial experiments have been done.

Results showed that with double row planting arrangement, corn plant density could be increase to 95000, 85000, and 75000 plants per hectare for silage, grain, and sweet corn respectively and forage sorghum up to 300000 plants per hectare without any negative effects on ear size and other yield components. Finally, with double row planting arrangement competition between plants decreased and plant density could be 15-25 percent increased and lead to harvesting maximum yield (20%).

Integrated Management of Pestes and Diseases

2021-09-08T12:57:48+0430

Ever since mankind began farming to provide food, they have manipulated ecosystems to turn organisms that were previously controlled by natural factors into pests. Pests include various species of insects, mites, mollusks, vertebrates and pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, nematodes and viruses that have always demanded a share of agricultural products and humans from the distant past in various ways, including using compounds. Minerals and plants are available to fight pests in order to protect their crops from their bites.

Citizen Enlightenment through Civil Society Activity in Zimbabwe

2021-08-14T11:45:56+0430

The post-colonial period in Zimbabwe has been characterised by mixed reactions to the democratic dispensation of 1980. While it can be assumed that the fight for democracy in Zimbabwe seemingly ended with the attainment of political independence in 1980, events and political developments on the ground proved that this was not the case. The three decades from the attainment of political independence in 1980 became associated with a civil unrest in Matabeleland and parts of the Midlands (targeted at mostly the ethnic Ndebele) in which according to research by the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP), over 20 000 people died, with numerous reported to have been maimed and displacement. This was as a result of the vicious political dogfight for political supremacy between longstanding liberation war allies-the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) on one hand and the Patriotic Front- Zimbabwe African People’s Union (PF ZAPU) on the other, especially from around 1982 to 1987. In 1987, a truce by way of the Unity Accord was signed between the two political parties and liberation war allies. The Unity Accord merged PF ZAPU with ZANU (PF) paving the way for a one-party political system, which in its self, further opened up gaps as decision making became the sole preserve of the then ruling party-ZANU (PF). Despite international outcry on the level of brutality during this sad episode in the history of the post-colonial state, the ruling party did not bother to seek redress for the victims of the civil unrest that was commandeered by a special unit of Korean-trained forces of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA), in collaboration with other security sector functionaries such as the conventional intelligence unit, the military intelligence, as well as the police intelligence and the conventional police force.[1] To this day the victims are licking the wounds of the civil unrest. This political dispensation of political arrangement also further opened up gaps for a plethora of dynamic political developments, notably the rise of a civic virtue and the formation of pro-democracy civil society organisations which represented voices of dissent and disenchantment over the way political power was being dispensed as well as the gross violation of human rights in the country. Notable civic groups that formed during the early 1990s included the Zimbabwe Human Rights Organisation (ZimRights), the Legal Resources Foundation (LRF), the CCJP among others. The formation of these pro-democracy and human rights organisations was the first fissures that signalled that the ruling party had lost its lustre, especially taking into cognisance the brutality with which the civil unrest in Matabeleland and parts of the Midlands had been quelled.

With time the civil society movement in the country began to realise the need for a concerted effort to engage the increasingly intolerant state. More collaborative arrangements began to manifest themselves through the establishment of coalitions, linkages and working relationship between and among similar-minded civic groups. The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, the Zimbabwe National Students’ Union (ZINASU) were some of the most vibrant groups that attracted public attention by way they articulated workers and students’ issues respectively. The fact that these groups were on a collision course with government did not augur well with the state, leading to them being viewed as branded as habouring political ambitions. Some of the decisions that the government had made without due regard for input from the public included military intervention in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in August 1998 at a time when the country’s fiscus could not afford such a costly military adventure. Most of the civil society movement, which claimed to represent a wider section of the nation, was of the idea that such grand projects and interventions should have the blessing of the nation. What further incensed the public was that the perceived benefits that were to be derived from the DRC debacle were never realised, leading to more questions about the credibility and desirability of the Lancaster on which the Executive based its decision powers on the provisions of the constitution. Continued deliberations within these groups led to further disgruntlement over the way the ruling party was making costly public decisions without consulting the public. The combination of the ZCTU, ZINASU and other similar-minded pro-democratic civic groups as well as pro-active individuals and professional groups led deliberations on the need for a new people-driven constitution, culminating in the formation of the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA), a civic group that sought to spearhead the constitutional reform process in the country.

Continued marginalisation of civil society and the general public in decision making policies and the continued unabated with civil society being targeted for victimisation and in some cases, closure and prohibition of their operation after being accused of being regime change agents of western nations. However, despite the continued harassment, pro-democracy civic groups remained resilient, further taking the unprecedented move of collaborating and eventually contributing to the formation of a broad-based political party in 1999- the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) which exhibited close links with the labour movement. The affinity between the new political outfit and the rest of the pro-democracy movement continued to grow and was manifested in various collaborative arrangements that they were involved in as they jointly sought to contribute to the restoration of democracy in the country. The most vivid collaborative linkages between the NCA, the ZCTU and the MDC manifested itself during the referendum to adopt a new government-sponsored constitution during which the civic groups and the MDC successfully campaigned for the rejection of the Constitutional Commission draft constitution.

Incensed by this rejection, ZANU PF realised that it had taken civil society and the general populace for granted. The results of the referendum were a protest vote from which ZANU PF learnt some lessons.

Guide Photos of Major Phytoplankton Species in the Egyptian Waters of the Red Sea

2021-09-03T22:19:10+0430

This book is a guide photos for most of the recorded phytoplankton species that identified and classified by many workers at different areas in the Egyptian waters of the Red Sea and some surrounding habitats. These areas include the northern part of the Suez Gulf (studied by Nassar, 1994 and Nassar and Hamed, 2003), northern part of the Red Sea (El-Sherif and Abo El-Ezz, 2000 and Shams El-Din et al., 2005), western part of the Red Sea (Abel Rahman and Nassar, 2005 and Madkour et al., 2010), the Suez Canal (Deyab et al., 2004 and Nassar and Shams El-Din, 2006), western coast of the Suez Gulf (Nassar 2000 & 2007a and El-Naggar et al., 2002), the Gulf of Aqaba (Nassar 2007b and Al-Najjar et al., 2007). Generally, a checklist of the recorded phytoplankton species of the previous studies are collected and updated as the current, and the accepted names according to the different algal databases (Nassar and Khairy, 2014). These collected phytoplankton data were represented by about 207 phytoplankton classified as 45 genera of Bacillariophyceae (116 species), 15 genera of Dinophyceae (48 species), 11 genera of Chlorophyceae (20 species), nine genera (19 species) of Cyanophyceae, two genera of Euglenophyceae (three species) as well as one species of Silicoflagellates.
This guide photos represented about 177 of these species as recent and accepted names according to the different algal databases to help and facilitate the identification and classification of the major microalgal taxa in the Egyptian waters of the Red Sea and the surrounding habitats.
