A wonderful update on the applications of genomics in dairy and meat livestock. Congratulations Dale.......! for your excellent contribution for students like us who are very keen to capacity build and produce HR good enough to carry out similar work for productivity enhancement in developing countries and reducing their dependence upon exotic genetics for food security. This would also enhance th ...

While responding to this topic, I am reflecting back and forward about the milk testing standards in Pakistan. Indeed the milk we are being provided either in UHT packing, polythene or through traditional milk men, literally it could be called anything but milk. In the beggining it was assumed that the extent of malpractising in milk preservation and mixing the traditional milk men rank highest, h ...

Farm Animal Genetic Resources of Pakistan are playing a vital role to produce high quality animal protein for 180 million masses. With alarming situation of food security issues globally, Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable country to looming food security crises due to its huge and rapidly growing (2.4%) population. Multiple factors may be held responsible for unsatisfactory food security situ ...

Thanks Dr. sb for your comments however, I believe due to our faithfullness to our professional domains and financial stakes we have a difference of opinion which is perfectly natural but may not be good enough scientifically and professionally. Thanks and regards

Thanks Dear Dr. Hassan Raza sb for your comments. As you may be able to appreciate that issues we are facing in livestock sciences cannot to be isolated and discussed as an independent entity. While we are striving for food security for human kind obviously the yield should be seen as most important factor however, in doing so we must not forget that global issues like climate change, dangerously ...

Non-food crops lock up enough calories to feed 4 billion(Source: scidev.net ) - Globally, 36 per cent of agricultural calories are fed to animals- Halving world consumption of grain-fed meat could feed two billion more people- Nutrition-driven agriculture would produce far less meat, dairy and biofuels Global calorie availability could be increased by as much as 70 per cent — feeding an ...

Dear Dr. Zulfiqar in order to play a positive role in this rotten society we need to show a courage which we all lack and no body speaks truth or want to listen to it. And whosoever does it they are made a lesson like me. Well no body wants us to contribute to the system but if we in good books of our officers no matter how much dirty we are, you will have no problems but if you are not then no ma ...

Well this is correct Dr. Zulfiqar Kuthu but where we stand today is all due to the chronic neglect of those people who are at the helm of affairs since long without any contribution. We only believe in personal gains and that is the real barrier to achieve tangible outcomes. There is a need for all of us to join our forces together, accept each other's contributions and work together rather than w ...

WHERE ANIMAL GENOMICS AND BREEDING MEET SOCIETY,NATURE FOR HUMANITARIAN AGRICULTURE Emerging technologies in Animal Breeding and Genomics are recently transforming the way, Animal Breeder used to think, plan and work. Whole emphasis of Animal Breeder was to maximize production per animal in most efficient way possible. But in doing so, the scientists have been completely disconnected with their e ...
