Correlation Analysis Between Livestock Population and Livestock Production in Indonesia During 2009 – 2018

Analysis of Feed Carrying Capacity for Ruminant Livestock in Madura Island, Indonesia

A region is considered self-sustainable when the feed provision is adequate for all livestock demands. Livestock is fed in order to supply nutrient needs for maintenance, growth, and reproduction purposes. This study aimed to determine whether Madura Island inIndonesia is able to independently provide sufficient forage for its ruminant livestock. A Carrying Capacity Index (CCI) in four regions ...

Congress of Genetics Applied to Livestock Production Statistical Problems in Livestock Population Genomics

Identifying signatures of recent or ongoing selection is of high relevance in livestock population genomics. From a statistical perspective, determining a proper testing procedure and combining various test statistics is challenging. Based on an extensive simulation study we discuss the statistical properties of eight different selection signature statistics. It is demonstrated, that a reasonab...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock Production

Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen generally associated with mild to moderate self-limiting gastroenteritis. In the United States the incidence of salmonellosis (16.37 cases per 100,000 population/ year) ranked highest among the pathogens tracked by FoodNet in 2012 (CDC, 2014). Furthermore, invasive infections accounted for 5% of the reported salmonellosis cases during 1996-2006 (Jones 2008). W...

Links between livestock production, the environment and sustainable development.

This study examines the prospects for strong growth in the supply and demand for animal products worldwide, especially in developing countries, where 80% of the world's population lives. Based on scientific publications, statistics and field observations, it reviews greenhouse gas emission levels from livestock, the ability of ruminant livestock systems to sequester carbon and the capacity of t...
