The application of information technology is the response of the livestock farming to the demand of customer, legal and economical expectations. This technology is the socalled precision livestock farming (PLF). The elements of the PLF are: continuous monitoring of inputs, animal behaviour by sensors, an algorithm which converts these signals into a figure, this figure is compared to an optimum then adjustment of the input is followed, if it is necesary.

Livestock plays a vital role in Somalia's economy, contributing more than 60% of the country's gross domestic product. However, livestock production in Somalia faces many challenges, including conflict, insecurity, climate change and environmental degradation. These challenges can lead to livestock losses, which can significantly affect the livelihoods of livestock owners. This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)-based livestock tracking system to help farmers locate their lost livestock. The system uses GPS and GSM/GPRS technology to track the location of livestock in real-time. The system also includes a boundary restriction feature that can be used to ensure that livestock remains within a designated area. The IoT-based livestock tracking system has the potential to address a number of challenges facing livestock production in Somalia. The system can help reduce livestock losses, improve livestock management practices, and increase productivity. The system is currently being field-tested in Somalia. The system successfully detects livestock crossing the border and transmits the livestock's location in real-time. Field test results show successful real-time tracking of livestock. The test data will be used to improve the system and assess its effectiveness in helping farmers locate their lost livestock.

Will every increase in farming scale decrease the cost per unit of output? Prices for inputs and outputs constantly fluctuate, affecting general livestock production and broiler farming. Consequently, raising livestock farming's efficiency and deciding on its size were in line with the demands of the local economic environment, leading to a rise in livestock revenue. In livestock farming, increasing the farming scale encourages the improvement of livestock infrastructure and the necessary time allocation for farming management. For Farmers, the insights from the findings of this study will provide direction for optimal resource allocation in business development. Furthermore, it helps enrich new insights into the relationship between income, labor time, and scale, especially livestock farming. This study aimed to describe the Interdependence of Income, Characteristics of Working Time, and Farming Scale on broiler farms. This study was conducted in 2023, involving 51 broiler farmers, with farm income, working time, and farm-scale variables as the primary focus. Data analysis was conducted descriptively. The findings indicate that enlarging the scale of broiler farming leads to higher revenue, although necessitating the enlargement of cage space, procurement of more equipment, and the recruitment of additional labor from external sources. The research discovered that expanding the scale of farming leads not only to increased income from broiler farming but also necessitates enlarging the housing area and acquiring additional broiler farming equipment. The available household labor is only adequate to meet the demands of small-scale broiler farming operations. Consequently, at larger scales, farmers rely more on external labor. As a result, the anticipated cost per unit output reduction in broiler farming due to scale expansion does not materialize, as the increased expenditure on additional labor for broiler farming offsets it.

Abstract Numerous pre- and post-mortem factors, such as genotype, production system, growth promotants, diet, health events, stress, slaughter age and weight, carcass chilling, and ageing time, have been shown to impact beef production and final product quality. The objective of livestock phenomics is the systematic acquisition of high dimensional phenotypic data, which requires measuring phenomes as they change in response to genetic mutation and environmental influences. Due to the decrease in costs associated to genomics technology and related fields, researchers had to face the so called “phenomic gap”, a lack of sufficient, appropriate phenotypic data. Selecting phenotypes of interests, standardizing methodologies, developing high-throughput data collection systems, systematically recording environmental factors, and integrating bioinformatics are some of the challenges when developing a livestock phenomics program. Precision livestock farming aims at applying continuous, automated real-time monitoring systems to optimize livestock management. The information collected by these systems can be used to optimize individual animal health and welfare, reproductive traits, and productivity, as well as environmental influences. This approach requires the use of novel technologies and the management of large amounts of data. Multiple technologies and sensors are already being used, or have the potential, to monitor important individual traits. These two interdisciplinary fields share multiple objectives that could lead to significant synergies. The complexity of in-farm data collection varies depending on the species and production system, with beef cattle presenting specific challenges. In addition, data collection needs to continue after slaughter, as carcass and meat quality traits are influenced by in vivo practices, determine the final profitability of the system, and need to be taken into consideration to modify management practices. Integrating livestock phenomics and precision livestock farming approaches will lead to a faster development of both fields and an optimal use of resources.

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and big data are consistently called upon to analyze and comprehend many facets of modern daily life. AI and ML in particular are widely used in animal husbandry to monitor both the animals and environment around the clock, which leads to a better understanding of animal behavior and distress, disease control and prevention, and effective business decisions for the farmer. One particularly promising area that advances upon AI is digital twin technology, which is currently used to improve efficiencies and reduce costs across multiple industries and sectors. In contrast to a model, a digital twin is a digital replica of a real-world entity that is kept current with a constant influx of data. The application of digital twins within the livestock farming sector is the next frontier and has the potential to be used to improve large-scale precision livestock farming practices, machinery and equipment usage, and the health and well-being of a wide variety of farm animals. The mental and emotional states of animals can be monitored using recognition technology that examines facial features, such as ear postures and eye white regions. Used with modeling, simulation and augmented reality technologies, digital twins can help farmers to build more energy-efficient housing structures, predict heat cycles for breeding, discourage negative behaviors of livestock, and potentially much more. As with all disruptive technological advances, the implementation of digital twin technology will demand a thorough cost and benefit analysis of individual farms. Our goal in this review is to assess the progress toward the use of digital twin technology in livestock farming, with the goal of revolutionizing animal husbandry in the future.

The livestock sector is facing a huge challenge trying to meet the increasing demand of animal products. To this end several efforts have been done to enhance animals’ performances, and nutrition provides a valuable asset. Animals’ performances can indeed be boosted through nutritional approaches, including both the application of technologies in a context of ‘precision nutrition’ and the administration of novel feed additives or feedstuffs with beneficial effects on animals’ health. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate 1) the proficiency of feeding systems for dairy cows (1st trial) and the suitability of sensor technology to ensure the fulfillment of cows’ nutrients requirement (2nd trial), and 2) the effectiveness of feed additives to improve animals’ health and consequently their performances (3rd and 4th trial). The first study investigated some aspects connected to the mixer wagon, and their influence on the preparation of the total mixed ration (TMR) for dairy cows. We evaluated how loading levels, cutting time, mixing time and their interaction can affect the homogeneity of the TMR along the feeding alley. The uneven distribution of the TMR along the feeding alley does not allow each animal to receive the same well-balanced diet, with the risk of not satisfying the nutritional requirements, finally impairing productive performances. Even though we identified the most efficient combination of loading levels, cutting, and mixing time, variations in the distribution of DM and NDF were observed, pointing out the necessity to investigate which other factors are influencing TMR preparation and distribution. In the second study we developed a system based on a microwave resonance sensor to optimize TMR preparation. Silages represent a large proportion of feeds included in the TMR, but their nutrient supply (on as fed basis) can vary among time due to moisture content fluctuations. For this reason, if their inclusion rate in the mixer wagon is not adjusted according to the actual dry matter (DM) content, ensuring the proper provision of nutrients, the delivered TMR might be different from the diet formulated by the nutritionist, with the risk of unfulfilling animals’ requirement. The sensor performed a real-time measurement of silages DM content during their loading in the mixer wagon and suggested a correction of their inclusion rate. Our hypothesis was that, adjusting the silages as fed inclusion rate according to the real DM content, the final TMR delivered to the animals would have been closer to the target diet. The employment of the sensor reduced the error in silages DM content loads, however the final TMR was not closer to the formulated diet compared to the TMR conventionally prepared. The lack of result was attributed to errors in the loading of dry feedstuffs (concentrates), which can equally affect TMR composition. Our results thus highlight the necessity of systems to improve the accuracy of TMR preparation. The third study was dedicated to the evaluation of the effectiveness of pomegranate rinds and green tea leaves extract on broiler chicken health and performances. We assessed the potential of the product to improve blood antiradical activity, as a way to increase animals’ defence against oxidative stress. We further investigated the effect on cecal microbiota, observing a positive modulation of beneficial bacterial population, such as Lactobacillaceae. Despite the positive results observed for health-related parameters, growth performances were not enhanced. Lastly, in the fourth study we investigated the effect of nucleotides supplementation to weaning piglets. Nucleotides play a fundamental role in the development of gastrointestinal mucosa and immune system, but due to the high demand in critical moments (i.e. weaning) and the reduced de novo synthesis, their supplementation might be beneficial for the animals. However, we did not observe positive effect of nucleotides supplementation on animals’ immune response, probably due to the optimal conditions where the animals were raised, which minimized the stress usually associated with weaning. Overall, these results contributed to the investigation of technological and nutritional approaches to improve the efficiency of animal feeding. However, further investigations are required to deepen our knowledge about the limitations that have been observed.

Food safety is an important issue facing consumers, the food industry and the government. Since consumers cannot themselves easily assess food safety risks, their perception of food safety is in part a matter of trust in the food chain. This study focuses on livestock farmers and investigates the causal relationship between the factors which determine consumer trust regarding food safety and in turn their purchase likelihood. The main research questions are: 1) What are the key factors which build consumer trust in this context? 2) What are the contributions of these factors to building consumer trust? 3) Is there any relationship between consumer trust and purchase likelihood? By integrating theories developed in several disciplines, six factors, namely: providing information, competence, integrity, benevolence, credibility and reliability were identified to have a strong influence on consumer trust in livestock farmers. An exploratory study in the form of face-to-face interviews was carried out to clarify the main concerns of livestock husbandry practices, and to identify the items to measure the causal factors of consumer trust in livestock farmers regarding food safety. Because the objectives set out in this study could not be achieved by using multiple regression, which could not handle latent variables, the conceptual model was tested with a quota sample of 194 individuals in the form of a Structural Equation Model using LISREL 8.30. It was proved successful in identifying the effects of the causal factors of trust to build consumer trust and in turn to affect purchase likelihood. The factor ‘providing information’ was identified to be a key factor by which trust is built and the features that lead to trust, namely: ‘competence’, ‘integrity’, ‘credibility’, ‘reliability’, and ‘benevolence’ were identified to be factors to build trust in livestock farmers. Representatives of the livestock industry were approached to confirm the relevance of the study and facilitate the interpretation of the findings. Though there is a limitation of its generalisation due to the sampling method, there is evidence that these factors are important to building consumer trust in livestock farmers regarding food safety. The evidence also suggests that there is a strong relationship between trust and consumer purchase likelihood. The research confirms that livestock farmers could draw benefit from strategies to increase their trustworthiness and in turn positively influence consumers’ purchasing decision. This study recommends further research to apply this model in other industries where the suppliers have little contact with consumers. The differences in trust building between cultures and the communication channels that livestock farmers representatives should used are also suggested for further study. Future research on how the food industry should respond to the change in consumer trust during periods of concern about food safety is also recommended. These are valid topics for future research and will provide potential benefits for consumers and food industry as a whole.

In recent years, the rising food demand triggered by an increasing population, the acceleration of the urbanization rate, and rising incomes due to economic growth have caused a transformation in China’s agricultural sector and induced the nation’s current dietary shift from plant-based to animal-based food. The rapid growth of the industrial livestock farming sector to feed the country’s population and the associated exploitation of animals have not only raised ethical concerns but have also been called into question for their harmful impact on the environment. The debate of a more ethical treatment of animals and the questions about the harmful consequences of livestock farming on the environment are now more relevant than ever before. China has to face the difficult task of reconciling the two conflicting demands for animal food products and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, many of the ethical concerns regarding the systematic mass exploitation of animals to feed the country have remained unanswered. This thesis aims to examine the systematic exploitation of animals in China by analyzing the country’s meat consumption, industrial livestock production, and the associated environmental consequences and ethical issues. It aims to provide a better understanding of the human-animal relations in China and explore whether the current treatment of animals induced by the nation’s rapid economic growth is environmentally and morally sustainable.

Resumo:

A year-long case study of nutrient cycling within an agro-pastoral community of southern Mali revealed substantial differences in nutrient balances between households and between settlement sub regions of the study area. Inter-household differences should, in great part, bb attributed to differential access to livestock products such as manure and animal traction (both ox-ploughs and donkey carts). Exchanges of manure, carts, and ploughs between owners and non-owners of livestock account for the different levels of access. Exchanges within the settlement sub-regions were more numerous than those between them, had exchanges between e pastoral Fulani and the other communities were limited. The farming systems of the sub-regions presented three patterns of agricultural intensification: 1) cotton-centred rotations sing ploughs and carts to increase yields on perm - anently cultivated sites at the core of the village and in the adjacent hamlets,2 ) cotton-centred rotations on sandiers oils of the village periphery supported largely by intensive hand cultivation with the borrowing of carts to transport nutrients,and3 ) cereal-centred cultivation of small fields heavy manure by large cattle herds owned and managed by Fulani, with plough-ownerships seeming to ensure that household labour could remain available for herding. None of these models of intensification correspond fully with the owner/manager operation of a "mixed farm" and suggest that the potential for better crop-livestock integration in the sub-humidz one may be under-estimated and mis-represented by the "mixed farming" model. Although the overall nitrogen balance of the region after the 1996 cropping year was -8.2 kg N/ha, the different systems described above are associated with significantly different balances:the villa.g1 >. e core and hamlet cores were- 3.2 and- 4.7 kg N/ha, the village periphery- 21.4 kg N/ha, and the Fulani system+ 23.3k g N/ha. Phosphorus and potassium were in positive balance throughout the study area. 0 The different degrees of crop-livestock integration associated with each sub-region suggest that the importance of soil fertility problems must be understood with reference to local algro-pastoral practice. The growing livestock population and the presence of transhumant Fulani pastoralists in the sub-humid zone are key components of these practices and must not be excluded. The access of different actors to key resources such as manure, animal traction, pasture and crop-land deten-nine the ability to increase agricultural production and the degree to which agricultural intensification will mine the soil of nutrients. b ateg eneralisations about the extent of Regional or national studies that make aggregate nutrient loss misrepresent the soil fertility of the region, and risk feeding into an unrealistic" crisis narrative".

Resumo:

The analysis of animal sounds and vocalizations allows the interpretation of stress, behaviour or disease pattern in a non invasive way, and it might be used to assess welfare, management as well as health status and social adaptation (e.g. hierarchies ). Farm sanitary level especially is crucial for modern livestock farming where high animal density affect health. Monitoring animal health is vital for the sustainable management of a farm but it’s often difficult to apply punctually. The results of a low monitoring are increased disease rate, increased pharmacologic costs and decrease in quality and quantity of productions. In Italians intensive farming realities the main issue is given by respiratory pathologies , the second in incidence and prevalence after enteric diseases. Coughing is one of the most frequent presenting symptoms of many of them and it is a sudden air explosion in the airways followed by a characteristic sound. Being cough one of the body's defence mechanisms against respiratory infections, it can be a sign of disorder or infection of the respiratory system. It has been identified as an index for over 100 diseases and experienced physicians, in human medicine, can identify an infection based on the cough sound. But the importance of coughing as a means of prognosis refers also to animals: it has been shown that pig vocalisation is directly related to pain and classification of such sounds has been attempted; it is also common practice by veterinarians to assess cough sounds in pig houses for diagnostic purposes. However, this last approach cannot be used as a continuous monitoring and early warning for infections in pig houses since it is time limited and subjective. In this regard, there have been attempts to identify the characteristics of coughing in animals. More objective and automated detection of respiratory diseases in pig houses should be possible by on line sound analysis of cough monitoring. To develop automatic algorithms for pig cough recognition, experiments and well-labelled cough data are needed. The arguments exposed in this thesis are: (1) the attained results in cough recognition and classifications, (2) definition of methodology to label cough data and sound data in general in field condition, (3) the achieved results for sound source localization by sound analysis, (4) the steps toward the creation of an algorithm for automatic sounds recognition and localization, (5) the creation of a “labelling tool”. The first issue suppose that changes in cough character may have a considerable value in identifying the mechanisms of airway pathology present in respiratory diseases. The cough sounds gives information about the patophysiological mechanisms of coughing by indicating the structural nature of the tissues during pathology that leads to certain patterns of cough. Signal processing allowed to identify the peculiar features, in time and frequency domain, of different sound groups. Comparisons were based on the Root Mean Square (RMS) normalized pressure, the peak frequency (frequency with maximal energy content) and the duration of the signals (in s). The second argument developed is sound labelling which is fundamental for the steps of sound analysis, modelling and for the creation of the algorithm. Labelling is a manual procedure, based on acoustic analysis combined with visual spectral analysis, which is used to extract cough sounds from the entire recordings. In this thesis labelling is done manually, offline by the operator to extrapolate only those sounds that the visual observation of the spectrogram and the auditive confirmation classified as cough attacks. In this way we have obtained a database of various coughs sounds. For the third issue on sound localization an algorithm based on the “Time Difference of Arrival” (TDOA) of the signal in 7 microphones is proposed. It is shown that this computationally efficient method provides acceptable accuracy levels for the specific application. In the forth point of this discussion the time domain characteristics of sound signals have been investigated to evaluate their value to automatically classify sick coughs. The instantaneous energy of the signal is used to detect and extract individual sounds from a continuous recording and their duration is used as a pre–classifier. The sick cough identification algorithm is based on Auto Regression (AR) analysis of the signal and has been shown that the AR parameters of sick pig cough signals form a separate cluster from that of other sounds. The proposed localization algorithm is based on the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between the sound as received by 7 microphones. This technique is the first application for combined online cough recognition and localization presented in the relevant literature and can pose as a starting point for further research. The last subject of this thesis is the result of the effort to study sound characteristics and particularly cough sound features and it is concretised in a pc program called Labelling tool capable of automatic sound extraction from continuous recordings. Subsequently to the results obtained the bioacoustic approach may be directly applied to intensive farming systems where its efficiency will be tested along with the effect it can have on animal welfare, faster animal treatment, reduction of antibiotics and therefore pig health. By applying the system in the stables farmers will be provided of automatic cough counting and coughs positions visualization which will automatically monitor the spread of respiratory diseases and eventually contribute to early diagnosis of the disease bringing to antibiotics use reduction by means of selective, early treatment.

Resumo:

Development of transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) in southern Africa depends, among other, on the ability of stakeholders to find practical and sustainable solutions for wildlife‐livestock integration in the conservation landscape. Due to the presence of buffalo Syncerus caffer in most of the TFCAs in southern Africa, foot‐and‐mouth disease (FMD) has to be controlled in susceptible livestock species sharing the rangelands with wildlife. Conventional FMD control measures act as an additional burden on communal livestock producers and may hamper rural development and wildlife‐livestock integration even further. However, commodity‐based trade in the form of an integrated approach to the control of both food safety and disease risk along the entire beef value chain has been proposed as a more favourable alternative for ensuring market access for beef produced at the wildlife‐livestock interface. Such a non‐geographic based approach could allow for trade to continue despite high risk of FMD if appropriate disease risk and food safety measures are implemented by farmers and subsequent role players along the value chain and hence, could promote greater wildlife‐livestock compatibility.
The objective of the present study was to analyse beef production, health and trade systems of farmers at the wildlife‐livestock interface within foot‐and‐mouth disease (FMD) protection zones in order to identify challenges, risks and limitations that may limit compliance with proposed commodity‐based trade prerequisites as well as value chain participation. Based on the findings of this study a holistic, integrated approach is proposed at the village level that could be implemented to serve as an incentive for equitable participation by farmers whilst 1) addressing the risks and limitations of a farming system, 2) ensuring greater wildlife‐livestock compatibility, and 3) promote consistent market access by fulfilling the requirements of an integrated value chain approach based on commodity‐based trade standards.
A farming systems approach was used to investigate beef production, health and trade systems in FMD protection zones mainly within the Zambezi Region (ZR) of Namibia, which is situated within the KAZA TFCA (Kavango‐Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area), but also the Mnisi study area (MSA) in South Africa adjacent to the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA). A combined qualitative and quantitative approach was used to assess and describe farmers’ perceptions in selected study areas about beef production, trade, and wildlife conservation. Secondary data obtained from state veterinary services, the Meatco abattoir in Katima Mulilo, as well as previous studies were analysed and modelled to describe spatial‐temporal trends in trade as well as cattle distribution in relation to resource availability.
The results indicate that beef production systems in some of the most remote areas of the ZR as well as in the MSA resemble a typical low‐input low‐output production system, mainly due to the high level of risk farmers had to cope with and the limited opportunity to offset losses. The major challenges within livestock farming in all the areas studied were animal diseases, grazing competition, predation, stock theft and contact with wildlife, although the importance of each varied between study areas. Herd size effect in the MSA significantly explained the variation in attitude towards trade, production and management of cattle between farmers with below average and farmers with above average herd sizes. In the MSA, home slaughter contributed significantly more to direct household food security in households with larger herd sizes than in households with smaller herd sizes, and in the ZR farmers with smaller herd sizes were discouraged from participation in formal trade.
The attitudes and perceptions of farmers In the ZR towards wildlife and conservation often varied between survey areas as a consequence of the variation in the geophysical properties of the landscape, proximity to conservation areas, as well as the form of the interface with conservation areas. The perceived spatial‐temporal movement of buffalo varied between survey areas in the ZR. However, the frequency and nature of buffalo‐cattle interaction was generally high and intimate. Most farmers associated buffalo with risk of disease, especially FMD, but some were more concerned about grazing competition and the negative effect on husbandry practises. Farmers readily deployed traditional risk mitigation tactics in the form of kraaling at night and herding at day to control the movement of their animals and to reduce risks. Herding was found to be a potential strategy to specifically mitigate cattlebuffalo contact despite the lack of evidence that an overall strategic approach to herding exist. Although the majority of farmers in the ZR were in favour of conservation and its benefits, the negative impact of increasing wildlife numbers on farmers’ attitudes was an indication that the generally positive sentiment was changing and may in future deter conservation efforts.
Indications are that the cattle population in the ZR at its estimated density and distribution had reached the ecological capacity of the natural resource base in the ZR and animal performance and survival was therefore subjected to increased variability in resource availability linked to climate change. The cattle population’s existence at ecological capacity and the inability of farmers to offset the loss of condition in the dry season with supplementary feed were reflected in the changes in carcass quality and grades across seasons. However, there was sufficient forage produced in the ZR to sustain animal performance to some extent throughout the year, but those areas with surplus forage existed beyond the assumed grazing range around villages and perennial rivers where most cattle and wildlife concentrate. The future ability of farmers to access such underutilised grazing resources in order to strategically counter the negative consequences of climate change and growing wildlife numbers could be an important coping and risk management mechanism linked to commodity‐based trade and sustained animal quality.
Regular FMD outbreaks had a significant impact on the consistency with which the Meatco abattoir in the ZR operated between the years 2007‐2011, with negative consequences to both farmers and the abattoir itself. It was found that the formal trade system in the ZR discriminated against farmers with below average herd sizes, and that the disposition held by farmers with smaller herd sizes are most significant in areas further than approximately 55km away from quarantine camps. Vegetation type and possible contact with buffalo or previous FMD outbreaks in the area did not significantly affect market participation nor off‐take rates at a crush‐pen level in the ZR. The negative effect that distance from a quarantine station had on formal off‐take rate and the level of sales to Meatco at crush‐pen level, was the most significant in the winter months and crush‐pens situated beyond 55km from a quarantine station. The results indicate that the trade range of the Meatco abattoir was less than its trade threshold which contributed to its struggle to sustain throughput and profitability.
Finally the loss of income farmers experienced in both the ZR and the MSA during simultaneous FMD outbreaks in the year 2012 was quantified, as well as the impact it had on livelihoods in the ZR. A commodity‐based trade approach may have reduced the impact on farmers’ income significantly. However, we farmers are unable to comply with the proposed requirements for mitigating risk and ensuring food safety and quality in such communal systems in the absence of interventions to build the necessary capacity and awareness. It is recommended that at the wildlife‐livestock interface such as those investigated in this study, an integrated value chain approach to trade could serve as a catalyst to incentivise and enable farmer participation in holistic, integrated rangeland and livestock management practises that will promote conservation and rural development.

The Green Deal declares that climate change and environmental degradation means a threat to Europe and the whole world. In order to be able to respond effectively to the challenges in this context in the European Union, we need a new growth strategy that will transform the EU economy into a modern, resource-efficient and the economic growth is independent for the resource utilization economic. This research is a very timely issue in the livestock farming sector, because the livestock farming sector has a highest emission of ammonia and greenhouse gasses among all the agricultural sectors. The possible effective solution for this problem is the application of the circular farming in the manure management. The methodology of the test is to contact different precision technology applying companies, to assess the methods of the technologies and the assessment of the efficiency of the technologies used as far as production and the reduction of harmful emissions are concerned. In the course of research, we are assessing the achievement of the strategic goals set out the Digital Agricultural Strategy, the Common Agricultural Policy and the Green Deal in the case of the model livestock farms.

Resumo:

The use of sensors in the agricultural domain generates a massive volume of heterogeneous data that must be treated, stored, and processed for decision-making. These decisions must be taken considering the diversity of devices and contextual information, which is often not considered but is important to the decision-making process. This paper presents an architecture to integrate data from sensors related to precision livestock farms. The integration and processing of these data can support decision-making, lead to more accurate results and enhance agribusiness sustainability.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

This abstract was an analysis of articles on the use of millet in animal nutrition, its fixed and variable production costs, and its development as a forage crop in the central-western region of São Paulo. In recent studies, millet Pennisetum glaucum has been a prominent alternative as a forage crop for improving degraded soils with low organic matter content. Its ease of direct planting has promoted its use by livestock farmers as a potential substitute for corn in livestock farming as a forage crop and in animal feed. Millet cultivation is positive due to its low fixed cost, being financially more viable due to its short cycle, greater adaptability, good germination in the high temperatures of the central-western region of São Paulo, low water requirements and greater resistance in the dry season, making it an excellent option for planting in the off-season (autumn and winter). With roots reaching 3 meters, it easily extracts nutrients from the soil, increasing the accumulation of calcium, potassium and nitrogen in the upper layer of the soil, reducing the application of agricultural inputs, which reduces the final cost of production. As silage, it does not have antinutritional effects, such as tannin, despite its high crude protein content and digestibility. Nutrients extracted from the soil remain in the straw as it decomposes, returning to the soil; high biomass in the foliage; high nutritional content of the seeds; high seed production; adaptability to different levels of soil fertility; resistance to diseases and pests; suppression of weeds by physical effects; longer-lasting straw. Due to the above, the use of millet as silage has shown advantages due to the multifunctionality of its use in livestock. Although its metabolizable energy content is equivalent to that of corn and sorghum, its low water and agricultural input requirements reduce the total cost of production, requiring only planning in cultivation and supply to animals.

Livestock is an important component of mixed crop-livestock farming systems in the Singida Region in Tanzania, directly or indirectly contributing to household income, food security and poverty reduction among rural people in the region. This paper examined the effect of livestock on crop commercialisation and farmers’ livelihoods in the region. The complementarity between crops and livestock in the farming systems of Singida needs to be recognised, enhanced and utilised not only by farmers and livestock keepers, but also by local government authorities and development practitioners.

Resumo:

Urgent climate challenges have triggered calls for radical, widespread changes in what we eat, pushing for the drastic reduction if not elimination of animal-source foods from our diets. But high-profile debates, based on patchy evidence, are failing to differentiate between varied landscapes, environments and production methods. Relatively low-impact, extensive livestock production, such as pastoralism, is being lumped in with industrial systems in the conversation about the future of food. This report warns that the dominant picture of livestock’s impacts on climate change has been distorted by faulty assumptions that focus on intensive, industrial farming in rich countries. Millions of people worldwide who depend on extensive livestock production, with relatively lower climate impacts, are being ignored by debates on the future of food. The report identifies ten flaws in the way that livestock’s climate impacts have been assessed, and suggests how pastoralists could be better included in future debates about food and the climate.

Resumo:

Should we eat meat, eggs, dairy and other animal-sourced foods? If so, how should we produce them and how much should we eat? If not, what should we eat instead? These are just some of the more contentious debates about the future of food systems. This short briefing paper summarises some of the key debates about livestock and its alternatives and describes both the arguments and the evidence underpinning different points of view. We look both at foodstuffs (meat, fish, plants and new foods based on cells grown in bioreactors) and farming methods (both intensive and extensive) with regards to discussions about their environmental, health and social impacts. In so doing, we explore the assumptions and values that often lead stakeholders to differing conclusions about what a sustainable food system looks like.
