Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo

Livestock Ration Formulation for Dairy Cattle and Buffalo provides an interdisciplinary integrative perspective and optimization on dairy cattle feed formulation problem solving. It helps dairy farmers by introducing them the right frequency and right amount of balanced diet to be fed to cattle’s and buffaloes at different body condition so that their feeding cost should be decreased and there should be increase in income for dairy farmers as they don’t have enough knowledge of feeding practice. It helps animal nutritionist to work for dairy farmers which have very limited feed resources to fulfil nutrients requirement in terms of crude protein (CP) total digestible nutrient (TDN) calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) by developing a software programme to plan a balanced low budget diet. It includes the Linear and Goal programming model for non-pregnant dairy buffalo is been solved using Hybrid Real Coded Genetic Algorithm and the results are compared with Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RGA) considering different versions like RGA without crossover RGA without Mutation RGA with crossover and mutation. These models can also be applied with other nutritional models like CNCPS INRA. This book is a step forward in that direction to provide least cost diet formulation based on nutrient requirement of the cattle and buffalo which is been calculated according to Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR 2013) and NRC (2001) on dry matter basis provides a clear and precise platform for other researcher in Animal Nutrition field which also give initial platform to build a software and android application to formulate least cost ration Based on data and algorithm used in this book which helps Dairy farmers directly to feed balanced diet at cheap rate. Features: It is a good reference to local dairy farmers by introducing them to the right frequency and right amount of balanced diet to be fed to cattle and buffaloes at different production cycles. It will provide basic platform and some solutions to built-up software about cattle nutrition development and least cost formulation for end-user. It has several techniques for optimizing animal diet formulation but a good balance between coding/programming and animal nutrition is incorporated towards application of soft computing technique to improve the quality of the solution due to rigidity of the constraints.

The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

Biotechnology is expected by many observers to have a significant impact on the world dairy industry over the next decade. In this timely volume Lovell Jarvis analyzes the potential effect of two biotechnologies—multiple ovulation and embryo transfers (MOET) and recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST—on the dairy industry around the world. According to Jarvis's research the effects of these two technologies will vary greatly between the developed and developing nations. He predicts that the technologies will be most profitable for the developed nations where their use will increase milk production and strengthen their positions in dairy export markets. Developing country dairy sectors will probably lose from the use of these two biotechnologies as their own international trade position will be weakened though their own consumers should benefit. Jarvis concludes his study with a look at alternative approaches that might improve the competitive position of developing countries in the dairy sector. | The Potential Effect Of Two New Biotechnologies On The World Dairy Industry

Development and Manufacture of Yogurt and Other Functional Dairy Products

Development and Manufacture of Yogurt and Other Functional Dairy Products

While the science of yogurt is nearly as old as the origin of mankind there have been rapid changes in yogurt development since the turn of the 19th century fueled by continuing developments in biological sciences. Development and Manufacture of Yogurt and Other Functional Dairy Products presents a comprehensive review of all aspects of yogurt and other fermented dairy foods including production processing preparation regulations and health aspects. Condensing more than 12 000 pages of recently published literature expert contributors including several clinicians address the most recent developments in probiotics and the interaction between yogurt and immunological and intestinal bowel diseases. They explain how beneficial and harmful bacteria are colonized in the human intestinal system and how those bacteria can either strengthen or weaken immunological functions. This resource also explores the little-known varieties of functional dairy products – such as ayran kefir koumiss cacik and tarator – that are currently only consumed in small parts of the world but that are likely to reach supermarkets worldwide in the not-so-distant future. Development and Manufacture of Yogurt and Other Functional Dairy Products presents the most recent developments in biosciences and their applications in yogurt-human health interactions. The depth and breadth of coverage make this book an indispensable reference for those involved with the research and manufacturing of milk and dairy products.

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions describes the basic and essential applications of quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSARs) for regulatory or industrial scientists who need to predict metal ion bioactivity. It includes 194 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion toxicity and 86 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion bioconcentration biosorption and binding. It is an excellent sourcebook for academic industrial and government scientists and policy makers and provides a wealth of information on the biological and chemical activities of metal ions as they impact health and the environment. Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions was designed for regulatory and regulated organizations that need to use QSARs to predict metal ion bioactivity as they now do for organic chemicals. It has the potential to eliminate resources to test the toxicity of metal ions or to promulgate regulations that require toxicity testing of metal ions because the book illustrates how to construct QSARs to predict metal ion toxicity. In addition the book:Provides a historical perspective and introduction to developing QSARs for metal ionsExplains the electronic structures and atomic parameters of metals essential to understanding differences in chemical properties that influence cation toxicity bioconcentration biosorption and bindingDescribes the chemical properties of metals that are used to develop QSARs for metal ionsIllustrates the descriptors needed to develop metal ion-ligand binding QSARsDiscusses 280 QSARs for metal ions Explains the differences between QSARs for metal ions and Biotic Ligand ModelsLists the regulatory limits of metals and provides examples of regulatory applicationsIllustrates how to construct QSARs for metal ionsDr. John D.
