Shane Gadberry, Ph.D. Associate Professor ­ Animal Science Feeding supplemental protein or energy to beef cattle consuming a forage­based diet should be viewed as an investment in cattle health and performance. Considering the large selection of supplemental feeds avail­ able, selecting the right feed is a daunting task. As an investment, supplemental feed is necessary to complement the forag...

controller structure is made by taking a traditional servo mechanism based on Linear Quadratic approach and by augmenting a new state variable to the feed forward loop. Since the controller structure is consists of a standard optimal feedback regulator and a feed forward controller, it is able to enhance the usefulness of resources and to reduce unnecessary memory reservations such as RAM (Rand...

This study aimed to determine the effect of giving various doses fermented cassava peel by local microorganisms (MOL) on percentage carcasses male sheep. The research was carried out at Mr. Praditya Raharja's Ranch, Jalan Bunga Rinte, Simpang Selayang, Medan, from December 16, 2019 March 8, 2020 using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. used 20 sheep an av...

Rice as a source of animal feed is expected to become not only new crop use compensate for the decline in rice demand human consumption but also fulfill domestically produced concentrated feed. One prerequisites qualify current subsidy Japan requires farmers find livestock that will agree prior production. This paper describes one such matching system and through case study Kyoto Coop's project...

THE SCIENCE OF VIRGINIA’S AQUACULTURE FEED PRICES. Brian L. Nerrie, Virginia Cooperative Extension, Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA 23806. Aquaculture feed costs are between 50-60% of the operating expenses. Aquaculture’s growth has resulted from improved knowledge of the nutritional requirements of aquacultured products. Initially nutrients were supplied by natural pond foods, and la...

Disputes over land, water, forests, rangelands, and other resources, both privately and commonly-held, are omnipresent across Africa and increasing in number due to the socioeconomic and environmental changes happening on microand macrolevels. Communities in Africa have a variety of mechanisms rooted in customary and statutory institutions to deal with disputes. This paper uses community-level ...

CFP technology (Berkhout, 1996a,b) addresses these limitations in a novel way. By breaking the model determination process into two simpler, more easily solved problems, those of operator estimation and macro model estimation, the final solution will typically be more accurate. Moreover, by providing rapid local convergence to the correct travel-time operators, migration analysis can be automat...

Community-based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) has been promoted as part of the development discourse on sustainable natural resources management since the mid-1980s. It has influenced recent water policy in Bangladesh through the Guidelines for Participatory Water Management (GPWM) where community-based organisations are to participate in the management of water resources. This paper rev...

More sustainable broiler meat production can be facilitated by the increased use of cheap by-products and local crops as feed ingredients, while not affecting animal performance and intestinal health, or even improving intestinal health, so that antibiotic usage is further reduced. To achieve this, knowledge of the relationship between the taxonomic and functional microbiota composition and int...
