A new interdisciplinary program in Computer Science and Agriculture at the University of Washington is breaking down fences between diverse computational, scientific, and agricultural fields to cultivate research on disruptive Barnyard Computing technologies that will radically grow the impacts of emerging Pig Data applications. In this paper we plot the UW CSA view of Barnyard Computing and Pi...

Thirteen adult indigenous chickens from Oodi, Kgatleng district, Botswana, were examined for helminth parasites. Two species of nematodes, Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum, and species of the cestode genus Raillietina, were recovered. A. galli and H. gallinarum were the most commonly seen parasites.

Seed priming with zinc increases the seed germination and seedling growth of many crops. The present study aimed to investigate effect different levels sources on barnyard millet variety MDU1. A experiment was conducted various Zn concentrations viz., T1- Non-primed seeds (control); T2-water priming; T3-GA3 T4-T6: 0.10%, 0.25% & 0.50% ZnSO4 ; T7- T9: EDTA; T10-T12: citrate experimental desi...

Iron biofortification of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is a promising approach to combat iron deficiency (ID) in the millet-consuming communities of developing countries. To evaluate the potential of iron-biofortified millet to provide additional bioavailable iron compared with regular millet and post-harvest iron-fortified millet, an iron absorption study was conducted in 20 Beninese women...
