Growth, development and yield of safflower genotypes in response to environmental variations

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a crop that is drought tolerant and grown in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) for its commercial utility as vegetable oil, animal feed, cut flower, leafy vegetable, pharmaceuticals, foods colorant, textile dye, cosmetics, and biofuel production. These important attributes make safflower an ideal crop to diversify the economy and improve the socioeconomic status of many smallholder farmers in ASALs. This study evaluated the growth, development, and yield of five safflower genotypes in three different locations in the southern part of Botswana under farmers’ fields during winter and summer. The results showed that there was a significant (P ≤ 0.05) genotypic variability for all phenological development (days to emergence, stem elongation, and flowering), plant growth (plant height and shoot biomass), the yield and yield components (number of branches/plant, number of capitula/plant and 1000-seed weight), oil content and oil yield. However, genotypes did not vary significantly (P ≥ 0.05) in number of primary branches/plant. The results showed that winter planting significantly (P ≤ 0.05) promoted safflower growth and yield than planting in summer. The growth, development, yield, and yield components of safflower genotypes varied across locations with Ramonaka being the most favorable. The GGE biplot revealed that genotype Kenya-9819 was found to be the most stable and adaptable with above-average yields. Sebele winter planting was the best representative environment and most suitable for discriminating genotype performance. The genotype by yield*trait combination (GYT) biplot revealed that genotypes ranked as Kenya9819 > Turkey > Sina > PI537636 > Gila. The results suggested that safflower was best planted in winter and that Kenya9819 was the best genotype to be planted in the greater Gaborone region.

Biotreatment of Industrial Wastewater using Microalgae: A Tool for a Sustainable Bioeconomy.

Fresh water is one of the essential sources of life, and its requirement has increased in the past years due to population growth and industrialization. Industries use huge quantities of fresh water for their processes, and generate high quantities of wastewater rich in organic matter, nitrates, and phosphates. These effluents have contaminated the freshwater sources and there is a need to recycle this wastewater in an ecologically harmless manner. Microalgae use the nutrients in the wastewater as a medium for growth and the biomass produced are rich in nutrition that can cater growing food and energy needs. The primary and secondary metabolites of microalgae are utilized as biofuel and as active ingredients in cosmetics, animal feed, therapeutics, and pharmaceutical products. In this review, we explore food processing industries like dairy, meat, aquaculture, breweries, and their wastewater for the microalgal growth. Current treatment methods are expensive and energy demanding, which indirectly leads to higher greenhouse gas emissions. Microalgae acts as a potential biotreatment tool and mitigates carbon dioxide due to their high photosynthetic efficiency. This review aims to address the need to recycle wastewater generated from such industries and potentiality to use microalgae for biotreatment. This will help to build a circular bioeconomy by using wastewater as a valuable resource to produce valuable products.

Community Service Strengthening Goat Livestock Group in Catur Village, Kintamani-Bangli District

The province administration of Bali consistently promotes the formation of livestock farming communities, namely in goat farming, using housing and livestock aid initiatives. The "Subak Abian Pebunut" goat farming group in Catur Village, Kintamani District, Bangli, is among the recipients of government aid in goat farming. Despite its relatively short duration of operation, the group above needs support and instruction, particularly in maintenance management and feeding techniques. This is particularly relevant in effectively utilizing a substantial quantity of coffee waste via fermentation. The primary objective of this community service initiative is to modify the behavior of individuals within the group. Specifically, the focus is on enhancing their knowledge, abilities, and attitudes. It is important to note that the delivered content is derived from prior research studies. The approach employed in this community service initiative involves disseminating educational resources, followed by practical instruction on the fermentation of coffee skins. Additionally, trials and evaluations are conducted on goats to assess their growth and gauge their response to the practices above. The implementation of community service has yielded notable outcomes in knowledge acquisition, specifically in the discovery of the potential for fermenting coffee skins to produce animal feed of superior quality. In terms of actual implementation, the active involvement of all group members is ensured to facilitate the subsequent execution of the probiotic component blending and coffee skin fermentation procedures. In the context of trials and assessments, it was seen that the administration of fermented coffee skins to goats yielded notable outcomes in terms of their growth, as opposed to a control group of goats that did not get coffee skins. Based on the findings of this community service initiative, it can be inferred that the participants expressed satisfaction in acquiring knowledge and hands-on experience in producing fermented feed using coffee skins. Additionally, they observed the direct impact of feeding fermented coffee skins to livestock over one month, specifically examining the animals' response to consumption and its influence on the growth of goats.

Environmental Footprint of Inland Fisheries: Integrating LCA Analysis to Assess the Potential of Wastewater-Based Microalga Cultivation as a Promising Solution for Animal Feed Production

This study evaluated the environmental impacts of producing 1 kg of biomass for animal feed grown in inland fisheries effluents as a culture medium using the ReCiPe method. Four scenarios with two downstream alternatives were modeled using the life cycle assessment method: Algal Life Feed (ALF), Algal Life Feed with Recycled nutrients (ALF+Rn), Pelletized Biomass (PB), and Pelletized Biomass with Recycled nutrients (PB+Rn). The findings reveal a substantial reduction in environmental impacts when wastewater is employed as a water source and nutrient reservoir. However, the eutrophication and toxicity-related categories reported the highest normalized impacts. ALF+Rn emerges as the most promising scenario due to its reduced energy consumption, highlighting the potential for further improvement through alternative energy sources in upstream and downstream processes. Therefore, liquid waste from fish production is a unique opportunity to implement strategies to reduce the emission of nutrients and pollutants by producing microalgae rich in various high-value-added metabolites.

The Effectiveness of the Management Policy in the Food Industry: The Case of Animal Feed Production Sector

Vietnam has Southeast Asia's highest animal feed output, with an annual growth rate of 10-15%. However, in addition to the potential for businesses and consumers, the situation in Vietnam demonstrates that there are still significant constraints in the administration of the animal feed industry. As a result, the current condition and variables influencing state management of the animal feed business in Vietnam are examined in this paper. Data were collected from 450 surveys and analyzed by using the SEM model and SPSS22 software. According to the findings, the three most important elements influencing State management efficiency are (i) human resources, (ii) investment, and (iii) infrastructure and equipment. Based on the findings of the study, several recommendations are made to increase the effectiveness of state management in the animal feed production business, thereby contributing to sustainable development.

Sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) attenuates T-2 toxin-induced iron death in LMH cells through the ROS/PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway

T-2 toxin, is a monotrichous mycotoxin commonly found in animal feed and agricultural products that can damage tissues and organs through oxidative stress. Selenium is a trace element with favorable antioxidant effects. However, it is unclear whether T-2 toxin-induces ferroptosis in LMH cells and whether Na2SeO3 has a protective role in this process. To investigate the process of hepatic injury by T-2 toxin and its antagonistic effect by Na2SeO3, we used 20 ng/mL T-2 toxin as well as 160 nmol/L Na2SeO3 to treat the LMH cells. The results demonstrated that exposure to the T-2 toxin induced iron death by increasing the quantity of ROS, leading to oxidative damage, decreasing the quantities of SOD, GPx, and T-AOC, and increasing the accumulation of MDA and H2O2, which resulted in the accumulation of Fe2+ and the down-regulation of the manifestation of linked genes and proteins including FTH1, Gpx4, NQO-1, and HO-1. After the addition of Na2SeO3, the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway is activated by regulating the selenoproteins gene level, and the above abnormal changes are reversed. In summary, Na2SeO3 alleviated T-2 toxin-induced iron death via the PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway. These study not only broaden the cytotoxic knowledge regarding T-2 toxin, but also serve as a foundation for the use of Na2SeO3 in daily life.

Sustenance Trial to Analyze the Effects of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Meal on the Reproductive Efficiency of Sows and the Hematological Properties of Suckling and Weaning Piglets.

The escalating demand for meat, driven by global population growth, necessitates sustainable solutions for animal feed production. This study investigated the effects of substituting conventional protein resources in sow and piglet dietary regimens with black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) meal on reproductive efficiency, blood profile, piglet growth, and intestinal tissue morphology. The results indicate that substituting animal-derived and soy proteins with BSF meal does not compromise sow reproductive performance. Although no notable disparities were observed in piglet growth, the feed conversion ratio from the 28- to 35-day age marks were lower in the BSF-fed groups. This suggests that the animal protein-BSF substitution rate may require optimization, potentially involving chitin removal from BSF meal to enhance digestibility. Minor variations in the hematological composition and properties in piglets, with elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the high BSF group at the 28-day mark, were potentially attributable to the unique fatty acid composition of BSF meal. Moreover, this study potentiates future exploration into the efficacy of complete animal protein substitution with BSF meals on piglet nutrition and physiology, particularly in fattening pigs. The practical implementation of BSF meals in animal feed production holds promise for enhancing the sustainability of the swine industry.

This activity was also able to increase public awareness up to 90%.

Production of nutrient-rich foods for carnivorous animals: a sustainable approach using Amazonian by-products of fishing and fishing processing

The animal feed manufacturing industry faces ongoing challenges in providing nutritionally balanced diets for a wide range of species, particularly carnivorous animals. The prevalent use of plant-based ingredients in commercial feeds often leads to significant nutritional limitations for these species, driven by cost and availability considerations. This study aims to develop an innovative process for producing nutrient-rich feed for carnivorous animals using Amazonian by-products of fishing and fishing processing as the primary source of high-quality animal-derived nutrients. Additionally, it evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of this process, examining its impacts on the health and growth of animals fed with these diets. Furthermore, it explores the environmental and economic benefits arising from the intelligent utilization by-products of fishing and fishing processing in the animal feed industry. The research involved the formulation and production of animal feed utilizing by-products of fishing and fishing processing through pelletization and extrusion techniques. These feeds were then subjected to comprehensive nutritional analysis and performance evaluations with carnivorous species. The study also considered the cost-effectiveness of this approach by assessing raw material costs. The research successfully demonstrated the production of nutrient-rich feeds with elevated utilization of animal-derived nutrients, contributing to improved nutrition for carnivorous animals. The experimental diets showed promising results in terms of animal health, growth, and survival rates during the preliminary performance evaluation.

Environmental impacts of a novel biorefinery platform integrated with power-to-protein technology to decrease dependencies on soybean imports

The consistent population growth is directly tied to the annual rise in livestock production, placing a substantial burden on the crop sector that supplies animal feed. The Danish government has been relying on importing soybeans and soybean meal to be used as animal feed. However, this sparked environmental concerns that require more environmentally friendly solutions, such as self-sufficiency in animal feed production. The rise of green biorefineries allows new avenues of animal proteinaceous feed production using green biomass to produce leaf protein concentrate (LPC) and utilize side-stream products, such as brown juice and press cake, for feed-quality products. This study evaluated the combination of grass-clover biorefinery and the power-to-X concept, including power-to-protein technology, for its environmental sustainability through a consequential life cycle assessment (CLCA). The production of protein concentrate from organic grass clover exhibits optimal environmental performance when press cake and brown juice are used for bioenergy recovery. The findings indicate that combining a green biorefinery with power-to-protein to fully valorize the carbon and nitrogen content of brown juice and press cake into feed-grade protein can increase the environmental benefits. Such an integration resulted in an avoided impact of −995.9 kg CO2-eq/tonne of protein concentrate. The avoided impacts of climate change could be higher within the first 20 years due to a higher carbon sequestration rate. However, even after 20 years when a new carbon balance in the soil is reached, the environmental gain could be big enough to encourage the production and use of organic grass-clover protein concentrate.

Exploring Tannery Solid Wastes as a Source of Animal Feed

This review delves into the processing of tannery solid waste, emphasizing fleshings and chromium-tanned leather waste. This paper centers on fat recovery, chromium elimination, and protein preservation, aiming to make them apt for animal consumption. This paper also assesses the potential of introducing such recycled products to the global market. Drawing on the literature from the past two decades, sourced comprehensively from Scopus and Web of Science, 36 articles were selected because of their significant contributions from leather production powerhouses such as India and Brazil. Fleshings have shown immense potential as animal feed, and the extraction of tallow and collagen from rawhide trimmings yields up to 98% and 93%, respectively. Fermented tannery fleshings, notably with Enterococcus faecium HAB01, also demonstrate strong antioxidant capabilities. The overarching consensus emphasizes the need for rigorous purification when dealing with chromium-containing wastes, addressing concerns tied to Cr (III) and Cr (VI). Furthermore, raw tannery fleshings stand out as a sustainable, cost-effective, and globally marketable solution for animal feed production.

Mites (Acari) infesting stored animal feed products in northern Thailand

Storage mites are serious pests of stored animal feeds and animals that consume mite-infested feed could reduce feed intake and eventually cause weight loss. To understand the mite species and infestation rates of them in animal feeds, we conducted a survey of mite infestations in samples of animal feeds from animal feed shops, feed mills, or chicken farms in eight provinces in northern Thailand. High mite infestation rates were observed in chicken feed (42.9%), followed by pig feed (26.7%). No mites were observed in fish and frog feeds. Mites were common in pelleted feeds (n = 96) or raw materials (n = 3), but was never observed in extruded feeds (n = 33). The mite species identified include three storage mites: Suidasia pontifica, Dermatophagoides farinae, and Aleuroglyphus chinensis, as well as the predatory mites Cheyletus malaccensis, Blattisocius keegani, and B. everti. Among them, A. chinensis and B. everti, are newly recorded in Thailand. Suidasia pontifica was dominant in chicken and pig feeds, and could be the major storage mite pest in northern Thailand. Figures and identification keys are provided.

Urbanisation threats to dairy cattle health: Insights from Greater Bengaluru, India

Complex urbanisation dynamics, on the one hand, create a high demand for animal products, and on the other hand put enormous pressure on arable land with negative consequences for animal feed production. To explore the impact of accelerated urbanisation on dairy cattle health in urban farming systems, 151 farmers from different parts of the Greater Bengaluru metropolitan area in India were individually interviewed on aspects addressing cattle management and cattle health. In addition, 97 samples of forages from the shores of 10 different lakes, and vegetable leftovers used in cattle feeding were collected for nutritional analysis. Along with the use of cultivated forages, crop residues, and concentrate feed, 47% and 77% of the farmers occasionally or frequently used lake fodder and food leftovers, respectively. Nutritionally, lake fodder corresponded to high-quality pasture vegetation, but 43% of the samples contained toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead above official critical threshold levels. Therefore, lake fodder may affect cows’ health if consumed regularly; however, heavy metal concentrations varied between lakes (P < 0.05), but not between fodder types (P > 0.05). Although 60% of the interviewed farmers believed that their cows were in good health, logit model applications revealed that insufficient drinking water supply and the use of lake fodder negatively impacted cattle health (P < 0.05). While it remains unknown if regular feeding of lake fodder results in heavy metal accumulation in animal products, farmers and farm advisors must address this and other urbanization-related challenges to protect cattle health.Graphical abstract

Supercritical extract from the Japanese sea brown algae &lt;i&gt;Undaria pinnatifida&lt;/i&gt; as a source of bioactive compounds

Bioactive compounds contained in algae have practical applications in the pharmaceutical industry, production of human food and animal feed, and other fields. Since brown algae contain a wide range of bioactive substances, producing high-quality and chemically safe extracts on their basis is an urgent task. This study was aimed at characterization of supercritical extract from the corresponding algae, as well as the identification and evaluation of the content of bioactive compounds. The content of carotenoids, phenolic compounds and mannitol was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy; a fatty acid analysis was carried out by GLPC; the qualitative composition of carotenoids and phenolic compounds was analyzed by HPLC. Supercritical CO2 extraction of the brown alga U. rinnatifida with EtOH as a polar modifier is characterized by high ejection efficiency of fatty acids, phenolic compounds and carotenoids. The latter profile of the collected supercritical extract consists of 14 representatives. In particular, fucoxanthin (58.1% of the sum), zeaxanthin (12.6% of the sum), and fucoxanthinol (14.5% of the sum) are the most abundant compounds. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, arachidonic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acids are the main of the 20 fatty acids found in the corresponding extract. However, the class of polyunsaturated fatty acids is predominant, which content of the ώ-6 and ώ-3 groups does not differ significantly. The total content of phenolic compounds is 13.45+0.43 mg/g of gallic acid equivalent. For instance, the most represented phenolic substances are epicatechin, epigallocatechin gallate, syringic acid, coumaric acid, ferulic acid and salicylic acid.

2,6-Di-tert-butylo-4-metylofenol Metoda oznaczania w powietrzu na stanowiskach pracy

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) is an organic compound belonging to the phenol group and is an odorless, white or yellowish-white crystalline powder. BHT is an antioxidant used in the production of food, animal feed, animal and vegetable oils, paints, petroleum product soaps, synthetic rubbers and plastics, among others. Worker exposure to BHT can occur during the production, processing and use of the chemical. In 2021 the Group of Experts for Chemical Agents of the Interdepartmental Commission for MAC and MAI proposed MAC value of 10 mg/m3 for BHT. The aim of this study was to develop a method for determining BHT in workplace air for occupational exposure assessment within 1/10 ÷ 2 of the proposed MAC value. The method is based on retaining the BHT present in the air on a glass fiber filter and XAD-7 sorbent, leaching the retained substance with a solution of N,N-dimethylformamide in methanol and analyzing the solution by the use of gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection. The smallest concentration of BHT that can be determined under the conditions of air sampling and performing the determination is 0.96 mg/m3 (for an air sample of 60 liters). The method for the determination of BHT is presented in the form of an analytical procedure, which is included in the appendix. This article discusses the problems of occupational safety and health, which are covered by health sciences and environmental engineering.

Status of integrated crop-livestock research in the mixed farming systems of the Global South: a scoping study

Mixed farming systems (MFS) are the main food source and exist across almost all agroecological regions in the Global South. A systematic scoping review was conducted to identify the status of integrated crop-livestock research in MFS of the Global South. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol was used to identify 210 studies (excluding reviews) addressing productivity, resilience, challenges, opportunities, and perceptions of integrating crops and livestock in the Global South from the Scopus and Web of Science database. Publication details, problem statement, experimental details and research outcomes of each study were extracted into an MS. Excel sheet. Descriptive methods such as frequency counting and the word frequency cloud were used to analyze the data and identify emerging themes. Integrated crop-livestock research was mostly conducted in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia and not much from North Africa and the Caribbean. The integrated research has been focused on farm production of human food and animal feed by smallholder farmers and soil productivity. Maize was the most dominant crop, while for livestock, it was sheep and cattle. The integrated crop-livestock research seeked to address various challenges, including the growing demand for food and fodder, water scarcity, land scarcity and degradation, climate change, disease outbreaks and social changes. The review summarized proposed strategies and approaches to improve the efficiency of MFS in the Global South. Under the current challenges, feed quality and supply can be improved through adoption of high biomass, climate smart and improved drought-tolerant fodder crops. Using crop residues incorporated in crop fields for improved soil organic matter and controlled grazing were some strategies suggested for land rehabilitation. Building the resilience of smallholder farmers in MFS can be done through diversification and ensuring access to information, markets and finance. Policies that promote the business component, i.e., markets, training, gender equality, private investments, tenure systems and technology adoption were identified for the sustainability of MFS. There is need for research that integrates crop-livestock systems and natural resource management innovations and that evaluates sustainable intensification strategies to meet productivity goals without compromising social and ecological outcomes in MFS.

Alternatives for the Valorization of Avocado Waste Generated in the Different Links of the Value Chain Based on a Life-Cycle Analysis Approach

This work evaluates the sustainability of small-scale biorefineries as a potential enterprise alternative to be introduced in rural areas based on experimental and simulation data. Four scenarios were evaluated: the first scenario involves the production of guacamole, the second involves the production of animal feed, and the third and fourth scenarios involve the extraction of bioactive compounds and the production of avocado oil or animal feed, respectively. In addition, all scenarios produce biogas and fertilizer. Each of the scenarios were evaluated considering the technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects. As a main result, the first scenario showed the lowest operating and investment costs, as well as the lowest economic profitability (profit margin 35%). On the other hand, the third and fourth scenarios present the highest investment and operating expenses (OpEx USD 6.2 million per year and CapEx USD 1.0 million), but their profit margins are in the 60–70% range. Furthermore, a life-cycle assessment (LCA) was carried out and allows inferring that the transformer link presents the highest environmental impact of the entire value chain and that the carbon footprint for all scenarios ranges between 1.01–2.41 kg CO2 eq per kg avocado. Similarly, the social impact methodology shows that the proposed scenarios do not present any social risk. Thus, the biorefinery for animal feed, bioactive compounds, biogas, and fertilizer was selected as the best option to be implemented in Caldas.

A new method for the measurement of robustness in reverse logistics supply chains based on entropy and nodal importance

This paper proposes a new methodology for measuring robustness in Reverse Logistics (RL) supply chains. First, an integer-mixed linear programming model is proposed to design an RL network and analyze its robustness. It uses a new method based on entropy and the importance of each node that has been adapted from measurement in electrical systems. The entropy of a node allows for determining important fault dynamics in the distribution network. Similarly, the node's importance is considered a measure of centrality by quantifying its importance in the network in the context of possible disturbances. In particular, when a disturbance occurs in a flow that originates in one of the nodes, leaving it disabled, the flow must be redistributed to the rest of the network echelons. A company producing animal feed has tested the proposed methodology in a case study applied to recovering wooden pallets and big bags. A validation with 500 scenarios has been carried out to evaluate the robustness metric's adaptation and group the solutions into up to 16 types. This classification has been performed to compare them in a set of 5000 new scenarios and to select the one that provides the most excellent robustness for the logistics system under study. The results obtained show the efficiency of the proposed methodology.
