Brilliant Alternatives
Thanks for the detailed information regarding the many factors that humans should be concerned about in the production of animal products. Your enumeration of possible improvements in the reduction of the harmful elements is a great way to get some action. My contribution to that effort was the development of software to minimize the cost of the Feeds. The use of Linear programming in the Feed Formulation software was the tool that was needed. This allowed users with the proper data to...

Introduction With the increasing demand for animal protein projected for the next decades as world’s population increases, the perceived antagonism between intensive animal production and climate change will intensify. It is estimated that livestock agriculture accounts for 14% of total CO2 emissions of which 1.4% can be attributed to pig production (FAO, 2020, IPCC, 2019 and 2022). Social pressure, policy making, carbon tax and sustainable financial investing will necessitate...

Introduction The global agricultural sector, including associated land-use changes, was responsible for emitting 10.6 gigatons (Gt) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), contributing considerably to the overall 53 Gt CO 2 e of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (FAO, 2023). In the United States, the agriculture sector contributed 0.59 Gt CO 2 e in 2022, representing 9.36% of the nation's GHG emissions. This marked a 7.7% increase from 1990 levels...

1. Introduction Chickens have a well-developed trichromatic vision system composed of diverse photoreceptors and cones [1], allowing them to perceive a broad range of the color spectrum [2]. Chickens can see in ultraviolet wavelengths and perceive colors that are not visible to most mammals [3], including humans [4]. The chickens’ sharp visual capabilities allow them to effectively survey their surroundings and localize feed [5,6]. In addition, broiler chickens have shown...

INTRODUCTION As most farmers’ focus is on broiler farming for meat, cockerel production has not received the attention it deserves over the years. With increasing global human population, it is necessary to boast the production of animal and poultry that will meet the urgent market need for animal protein (Steinfeld, 2003). One approach to tackle this is to stimulate the cockerel industry, the neglected area of poultry production. Protein is a crucial component of chicken...

INTRODUCTION Nutrient requirement for any ingredient is defined as the amount of that nutrient which must be supplied in the diet to meet the needs of the normal health of an animal in an environment compatible with good health. It can also be said to be the amount of a given nutrient required by the animal to maximize performance. Formulation of a balanced diet is fundamental to economical poultry production, and this process depends on knowledge of nutrient requirements of poultry...
