Abstract:

The article presents the history of the Laboratory of breeding and selection of animals of the Institute of Animal Biology NAAS, its personnel and scientific achievements. Currently there are seven scientists, including four Doctors of Sciences, two Candidates of Sciences and one junior researcher without a scientific degree work in the laboratory. The team has made radical changes not only in staff capacity but also in research. Scientists have developed and introduced into production methods of optimizing selection and formation of high-value genotypes in dairy cattle, improved methods of targeted breeding of young animals, increasing meat and dairy productivity of animals, assessment of breeding traits of cattle for selection by reproductive and fattening qualities, the efficiency of use in selection process of foreign gene pool. They developed theoretical and practical issues about the genesis of the Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed and its western intra-breed type, developed recommendations for the formation of highly productive dairy herds with long economic use, a system for monitoring the genetic variability of dairy breeds cattle, proposed the development of the selection of animals on a set of grounds, discovered the influence of various genetic and paratypic factors on the formation of milk productivity and duration of economic use of cows, etc.

Abstract:

Modern pork production technology requires more piglets from sows to ensure the industry's profitability. The physiological reserve of sows' milk production at multiplicity above 14-18 piglets is often insufficient, which requires a constant search for ways to solve the problem of “hyperfertile sows”. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using milk replacers from different manufacturers in sow nests under conditions of multiple farrowings on the productivity and behaviour of suckling piglets and sow conditions. The experiment was conducted in 2023, with 36 sow nests in the farrowing shop and 513 suckling piglets. Nests with a litter of 13 or more were selected and three groups were formed. In the control group, piglets were raised without additional feeding with milk replacers. The group II piglets were fed with Alternative Milk Junior as a source of additional nutrition from 10 days of age until weaning. Piglets of group III received a Commercial Analogue of milk replacer. Group II was characterised by a higher survival rate – of 93.03% and, a higher live weight – of 7.84 kg, which led to higher values of average daily weight gain – 222.47 g. The nests of the II and III experimental groups (consuming milk replacer) were more aligned, which significantly outperformed the analogues of the control groups by 31.2% and 14.7%. Piglets of group II were in a calmer state and therefore spent the most time on rest – 60%, in contrast to animals of the control group – 50% and group II – 58%. Additional nutrition of piglets in the nests of “hyperfertile sows” reduces the load on sows during lactation allows to obtain animals in factory condition and reduces the number of unprofitable days. The practical significance of the experiment is to determine an effective milk replacer as a source of supplementary nutrition for suckling piglets in the nests of “hyperfertile” sows

Abstract:

Abstract Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have become important topics for discussion in Animal Science Departments across the nation. The need for DEI-awareness programming has increased as student populations become more diverse. Therefore, the objective of this work was to understand how included students felt in the Department of Animal Science. A survey instrument using Qualtrics was developed and distributed to 1,047 undergraduate and graduate students. A total of 436 participants completed at least a portion of the survey (response rate = 41.6%). Information will be presented descriptively. Approximately 56%, 29%, and 15% of participants came from rural, suburban, and urban areas, respectively. Additionally, 36% reported having no previous livestock experience. Participants were asked to rank their perceived level of inclusion in different facets of the department when starting in the major. Approximately 11%, 14%, and 13% felt that they were not included in class, with peers, and with faculty, respectively, when starting their degree program. Conversely, 24%, 22% and 26% felt very included in class, with peers, and with faculty, respectively, upon entering the major. Juniors, seniors, and graduates were asked to rank their level of inclusion in the same three areas after being in the department for at least two years. Only 2%, 10%, and 5% of these students reported feeling not included in class, with peers, and with faculty, respectively. Roughly 39%, 34%, and 39% of experienced students felt very included in class, with peers, and with faculty, respectively. Although inclusion feelings improved in mature students, there is still concern some students still do not feel that they belonged. Further analysis is needed to identify student attributes that do not feel included throughout the degree program and to identify tools that could help improve inclusion.

Abstract:

As a cow ambles around and eats from the feed bunk, legions of other “animals” are feeding within the cow’s rumen. Billions of protozoa swim about in a single, 20-gallon rumen, colliding with one another while engulfing feed particles and bacteria. These microbes contribute vitally to rumen fermentation and have both positive and negative impacts on animal performance.

Abstract:

Abstract Ruminants serve a valuable role in sustainable agricultural systems, specifically in the conversion of renewable resources from grasslands, pasture, and other by-products into edible human food. Recognizing forage and grasses are grown on 25% of arable land, suitable agronomic practices for grazing livestock are necessary to minimize water and soil erosion. Demographics of Animal Science students have changed over the last several years with more students from urban backgrounds and with interests other than traditional animal agriculture. This makes continued emphasis on education programs supporting the grazing livestock industry that much more important. However, for many reasons, universities place less emphasis on training Ph.D. students in forage agronomy. Based on an email survey of 10 land grant institutions, typically one M.S. student/yr and one Ph.D. student/3–4 yr graduates with an advanced degree in forage agronomy. Most departments have experienced dramatic budget reductions. Challenges with funding faculty positions outside of a department’s emphasis area typically results in the question “Should forage agronomy students be trained in Departments of Animal Science or Crop/Soils Science?” It could be argued that either department is the best fit. Forage agronomy requires training in the basics of plant and soil science, but the application of those sciences relate more to animal science and animal production than to traditional crop production such as cereal grains. Departments of Animal Science must communicate the meaningful context of forage agronomy in an active learning environment developing students’ ability to critically think and solve problems. Those providing technical expertise to livestock producers can no longer make recommendations based solely on production efficiency and profitability. Instead, best management practices must include the impact of grazing livestock on the environment. Cooperative agreements between departments should be discussed to adequately support student development in this critical subject matter.

Abstract:

Abstract The ASAS Public Policy Committee (PPC) provides updates of Grand Challenges (GCs) which clearly articulate research priorities while providing science-based information for shaping public policy and enhancing future funding for research and education programs in animal sciences (AS). Among the GCs is reproduction of domesticated animals (cattle, swine, sheep, goats, poultry, horses, and aquatic species) that is integral to sustain and improve global competitiveness of U.S. animal agriculture, understand and resolve complex animal and human diseases, and advance fundamental research in sciences that are critical to understanding mechanisms of action and identify future targets for interventions. Historically, federal and state budgets have dwindled and funding for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) competitive grants programs remained relatively stagnant from 1985 through 2010. This shortage in critical financial support for basic and applied research, coupled with the underappreciated knowledge of the utility of non-rodent species for biomedical research, has hindered funding opportunities for research involving livestock and limited improvements in both animal agriculture and animal and human health. In 2010, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) established an interagency partnership to promote the use of agriculturally important animal species in basic and translational research relevant to both biomedicine and agriculture. The “Dual Purpose with Dual Benefit” program encouraged One Health approaches for comparative medicine studies that use farm animal models that mimic human developmental, physiological, and etiological processes to promote human and animal health, better understand disease origins, interspecies transmission and mitigation strategies, and improve efficiency of assisted reproduction technologies. This presentation will review the successes of the 9-year Dual Purpose effort and highlight opportunities for tackling GC research in reproduction of domesticated agricultural animals.

Abstract:

On May 21, 2019, at the age of 59, a well-known scientist and statesman, head of the department of animal genetic resources of the Institute of Animal Breeding and Animal Genetics of Zubets NAAS, Director of State Enterprise "Main Scientific Production Breeding and Information Center in Animal Production of the Institute of Breeding and Genetics of Animals of NAAS" Candidate of Agricultural Sciences Leonid Vyshnevsky died. We have lost an outstanding person who has worked hard throughout his life to improve the breeding stock that meets current European requirements. Leonid Vyshnevskyi was born on May 1, 1960 in the village Listvyn of Ovruch district , Zhytomyr region in family of employees. After graduating with honors in 1982 from the Zootechnical Faculty of the Zhytomyr Agricultural Institute, he worked for some time as the chief zootechnician in the state farms of the Zhytomyr region. Since 1984 - Junior Research Fellow at the Research Institute of Agriculture of the Non-Black Zone of the USSR. Since September 1985 - postgraduate student of the Department of Breeding of Animals of the Ukrainian Agricultural Academy. After graduation from 1993 to 1998 he worked as a chief specialist of the department of breeding and breeding work of the association of state breeding factories of Ukraine "Ukrderzhplemzavody", carrying out work on the organization of breeding accounting in the farms and introduction of an automated system of management of the breeding process in dairy cattle breeding. From 1999 to 2000, Leonid Vyshnevskyi, being the chief specialist of the department of the Main State Breeding Inspection, was engaged in the formation of the basics of the legal framework on breeding work in animal husbandry and the organization of assessment of breeding animals. From 2000 to 2003 - Deputy Director General of the State Scientific Production Production Selection, and from September 2003 to August 2006 - First Deputy Director of the State Agency for the Identification and Registration of Animals. At this time, with his direct involvement, that a unified state system for the identification and registration of farm animals was introduced at the national level. His responsibilities for being General Director of the Selection concern included the organization of a breeding system in animal husbandry (attestation of the subjects of breeding business in animal husbandry, creation and maintenance of the State Breeding Register, preparation of normative-legal acts on conducting breeding records and evaluation breeding value of different species of farm animals). In 2008, Leonid Vyshnevskyi defended his PhD thesis on "Selection and genetic methods of Myrhorod pigs breed improvent productivity and crossbreeding use" in the specialty 06.02.01 - breeding and selection animals. The scientist carried out the results of his research, being first as a scientific scientist, then as a senior researcher, and since September 2010 - head of the laboratory of the beef breed gene pool of the Institute of Breeding and Animal Genetics of NAAS. Due to the creation of the Department of Animal Genetic Resources and Information Systems, whose work was closely linked to the previous activities of Leonid Vasilyevich, he was transferred to the post of Head of Department since June 2011. Researches of the scientist have established the possibility of using modern methods of DNA-typing of animals for optimization of the breeding process in animal husbandry. Leonid Vyshnevskyi scientific achievements include a patent for the utility model "Application of ISSR-typing method for optimization of breeding process in small breeds of pigs as a means of individual selection for increasing productivity and preserving the genetic diversity of animals of endangered populations". While working at the Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics, he actively participated in the development of methodological bases for biodiversity conservation in animal husbandry in Ukraine and the introduction of centralized automated breeding records at the state level. The Leonid Vyshnevskyi life is an example of a worthy, responsible leader who was able to organize and rally around the best specialists of the industry. He was able to inspire his energy, find the right word, give the right direction to make the necessary changes.Leonid Vyshnevskyi will forever remain in our grateful memory and our hearts. Light memory, eternal memory….

Abstract:

The merging of the Landscape Architecture Program (LA) with the Department of Horticulture had no effect on visibility of horticulture at Colorado State University and in the state. It did enhance the stature of the merged department as it became second only to the Department of Animal Sciences in terms of undergraduate majors and graduates in the College of Agricultural Sciences. The merger had only a limited impact on the budget. The LA is accredited. Accreditation standards aided the LA in justification of a new position. Since the merger, the Landscape Design and Contracting Program has become accredited through the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (Reston, Va.). Horticulture, which has no accrediting agency, is at a disadvantage in competing for open positions.

Abstract:

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law in January of 2011 and is considered the most sweeping reform of food safety regulations in 70 years. The human food regulations were composed first and, with significant input from industry, academia, and consumer groups as well as other agencies, were then modified to better suit animal food production. In Florida, these new regulations apply to facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food or food ingredients for animals. These facilities may include pet food manufacturers, renderers, ethanol distillers, feed mills, distributors, and others. The primary goal of these regulations is to ensure safe food for the animals, people who handle the feed, and people who consume the final animal products. This 3-page fact sheet discusses requirements, facilities that will most likely be expected to be in compliance, deadlines, development of a food safety plan, and preventive controls for qualified individuals.

Abstract:

Here in Kurdistan Region of Iraq, particularly in Duhok zoo, animal welfare is mostly neglected. Animals are not treated normally. As far as the author is aware, there is no study undertaken to understand the students or public attitudes toward animals in Duhok zoo. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of the students of the University of Zakho, Faculty of Sciences, Departments of Environmental Sciences, and Biology about animal welfare concerns of Duhok Zoo. The study was undertaken at University of Zakho, Faculty of Sciences. Two hundred questionnaires were divided into the students of both Environmental Sciences and Biology Departments. The questionnaire comprised of 15 questions with 3 sections, which were: first, students identification including name, age, and sex. Second, information on animal welfare, and the last one was recording their opinions on the questionnaire. With each question, students had chosen one of the following opinions: Completely Disagree, Somewhat Disagree, Neither Disagree nor Agree, Somewhat Agree, and Completely Agree. All participants agreed to answer the questionnaire voluntarily. Results revealed that most of the students were of opinion that Duhok zoo should be improved; in addition, most of them were entirely or somewhat disagreed that Duhok zoo is acceptable in general. They had an agreement with the idea that there should be educational programs inside the zoo, and in addition, the zoo does not cover environmental needs for the most, if not all, captive animals. Students were also agreed that there should be conservation programs to conserve captive animals, especially endangered and rare species. However, almost all of the students did not want the zoo to be closed entirely. According to the findings of the students' attitudes obtained, it can be concluded that the zoological park of Duhok city has many shortages regarding the welfare of animals in dealing with their captive animals.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to highlight the main organizational stages of establishment and creative searches of the zootechnical department of the Kiev Regional Agricultural Experimental Station, as well as the research units created on its basis as the forerunners of the formation of the scientific potential of the Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics named after M.V.Zubets of NAAS. Research methods – general scientific (analysis, synthesis, classification), special historical (problem-chronological, comparative-historical), source study. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the generalization of the creative achievements of the scientists of the zootechnical department, which have found wide practical application in the field of animal husbandry in the USSR and the Ukrainian SSR. It is shown that their efforts have developed regional systems and methods of selection and breeding work based on the use of methods of intrabreeding selection and substantiated the effectiveness of interbreeding as an effective way of farm animal pedigree improvement. The chemical composition and nutritional value of forages from the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of the Ukrainian SSR have determined, and methods for increasing its productive action have proposed. The fodder base of animal husbandry based on the introduction of a green conveyor and technologies for ensiling fodder crops has intensified. Norms and rations for feeding and fattening different types and age groups of farm animals have developed. It is proved that the scientists of the zootechnical department and its successors made a significant contribution to the development of the methodological foundations of zootechnical science, which affected the development of effective methods for assessing the breeding value of animals, the method of simplified grading of livestock, the method of introductory crossing of breeds, ways of directed breeding of animals and stimulation of the development of the nutritional function and metabolism of young animals, methods of increasing the efficiency of feed, methods for determining the fat content in milk and wool, etc.

Abstract:

Ayurveda is a goldmine for researchers. Unfortunately, very few researches are planned with a comprehensive approach. Animals have been used repeatedly throughout the history of biomedical research analysis. The utilization of non-human animals in biomedical research has made an essential contribution from precedent days. These animal experiments advance understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and various medical fields. However, natural laboratory-based new research is still awaited. Our objective was to compile the most recent data on animal study's needs, scope and limitations. Also, we tend to overlook how we conduct a department-wise animal study, the ethics of the animal study, and the similarities between animals and man and their unique mechanisms. We conduct a narrative review. There is a need and scope for animal study in medical bioscience because a cure for a disease proves the safety and efficacy of new treatments attained through animal testing. There are also some limitations in animal studies, like loss of biological variability or predictivity from the utilization of inbred strains, young animals, restriction to single sexes, and inadequate cluster sizes. Also, there are so many department-wise uses and limitations of animal study. Conclusion: Animal study proves beneficial for the future because animals are often used in medical research to investigate the progression of the disease, test new drugs, surgeries, etc. But before that, we must always study the ethics of animal research to avoid unskilled, pseudoscientific and needlessly repetitive studies that bring on reserve damage to laboratory animals.

Abstract:

Mexico initiated a federal animal identification (ID) system (SINIIGA) in 2003. The program is administered by an agency of the federal Department of Agriculture (SAGARPA) and has been used primarily to support a federal subsidy program for livestock producers. The program is conceptually well designed, but implementation thus far falls short of the potential and needs, most importantly in animal disease management. Although substantial numbers of animals have been tagged, relatively little progress has been made in developing a usable animal ID information system. Animal health officials currently are not actively involved in the development and use of the system.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Ruminants serve a valuable role in sustainable agricultural systems, specifically in the conversion of renewable resources from grasslands, pasture, and other by-products into high-quality human food. Recognizing forage and grasses are grown on 25% of arable land, suitable agronomic practices for management of grazing livestock are necessary for the economic sustainability of the livestock enterprise, whereas at the same time, minimizing water and soil erosion. Demographics of undergraduate animal science students have changed over the last several years with more students from urban backgrounds and with interests other than traditional animal agriculture. Thus, continued emphasis on education programs supporting grazing livestock industries becomes that much more important. In addition, newer technologies to measure production on range and pastureland have emerged, thereby increasing opportunities for further training and education. Based on an email assessment of 10 land grant institutions, typically one MS student/yr and one PhD student/3 to 4 yr graduates with an advanced degree in forage agronomy. Overall budget reductions which impact operational costs, internal funding for research projects and graduate student stipends, force universities to focus in areas with the best chance of monetary return. Challenges with funding faculty positions outside of a department’s emphasis area typically result in the question “Should forage agronomy students be trained in Departments of Animal Science or Agronomy/Plant/Soils Sciences?” It could be argued that either department is the best fit. Forage agronomy requires training in the basics of plant and soil science, but the application of those sciences within a Department of Animal Science relates more to animal science/production than to traditional crop production such as cereal grains. Animal science departments must communicate the meaningful context of forage agronomy in an active learning environment developing students’ ability to critically think and solve problems. Those providing technical expertise to livestock producers can no longer make recommendations based solely on production efficiency and profitability. Instead, best management practices must include the impact of grazing livestock on the environment and environmental sustainability. Cooperative agreements between departments should be discussed to adequately support student development in this critical subject matter.

Abstract:

The pasture/livestock production enterprise should be viewed as an integrated production system. An important step in improving the production efficiency of the system is to consider the interrelationship between the cattle and the pasture forage supply. Management of stocking density is one such relationship between grazing cattle and pastures. The stocking density of Florida pastures can impact beef cattle production, forage production, and enterprise profitability. The overall goal of managing grazing animals is to utilize the forage that a pasture already produces to its optimum potential.
