#8 Steps To Sustainable Meat And Milkglobally deforestation driven by clearing land for cattle alone accounts for close to one-fifth of global greenhouse gas pollution.
To add to the environmental insults meat animals are fed about 1 billion metric tons a year of the same cereal grains that humans consume increasing the pressure on supplies of food and fresh water.
Meat production is on track to more than double by 2050. In response an international research team suggests eight ways to make ruminant agriculture aising cows goats sheep buffalo camels llamas reindeer and yaks for meat and dairy nvironmentally sustainable.
Publlished this week in the journal Nature the strategies favor diverse approaches tailored to local conditions rather than a universal approach that ignores local cultures geographies economies and environmental realities.

Among the largest human-related sources of methane are ruminant animals (cattle sheep goats and buffalo) and fossil fuel extraction and combustion.
#Among agricultural approaches to climate change reducing demand for meat from ruminants offers greater greenhouse gas reduction potential than do other steps such as increasing livestock feeding efficiency or crop yields per acre.
and easily infect farm animals such as cows sheep pigs and chickens. Humans can be infected by eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables.
Infection rates vary around the world: In the United states it's about 10 to 15 percent

chickens and pigs drives climate change hoofprintthe resources required to raise livestock and the impacts of farm animals on environments vary dramatically depending on the animal the type of food it provides the kind of feed it consumes
how efficiently they convert that feed into milk eggs and meat; and the amount of greenhouse gases they produce.
It also shows that pork and poultry are being produced far more efficiently than milk and beef and greenhouse gas emissions vary widely depending on the animal involved and the quality of its diet.
There's been focused a lot of research on the challenges livestock present at the global level but if the problems are global the solutions are almost all local
Meat v. dairy grazing animals v. poultry and porkthe study shows that ruminant animals (cows sheep
and goats) require up to five times more feed to produce a kilo of protein in the form of meat than a kilo of protein in the form of milk.
Knowing these differences can help us define sustainable and culturally appropriate levels of consumption of milk meat and eggs.
Globally pork produced 24 kilos of carbon per kilo of edible protein and poultry produced only 3. 7 kilos of carbon per kilo of protein--compared with anywhere from 58 to 1000 kilos of carbon per kilo of protein from ruminant meat.
The authors caution that the lower emission intensities in the pig and poultry sectors are driven largely by industrial systems

which may indicate the introduction of meat to their diet. Similarly the higher uric acid levels in male and female iguanas could be the result of animal protein such as ground beef being fed to iguanas by tourists.
Furthermore food provisioning by tourists on beaches has encouraged the iguanas to spend disproportionate amounts of time foraging in the area rather than further in the island resulting in higher levels of marine life being ingested.

The study also confirms that toenail clippings are a good biomarker of long-term exposure to arsenic from consuming alcohol Brussels sprouts and dark meat fish.
Researchers asked 852 participants about their average consumption over the previous year of 120 different foods including dairy fruits vegetables eggs meat breads beverages and baked goods.
Researchers also found increased toenail arsenic in people who eat dark meat fish which include tuna steaks mackerel salmon sardines bluefish and swordfish.
Fish generally contain a form of arsenic that is thought to safely pass through the human body without being metabolized
but dark meat fish also contain arsenic compounds that can be metabolized. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by Dartmouth College.

#Ticks kill sheepin some lamb herds a mortality rate of 30 percent has been recorded albeit no predators have been involved in these losses.
It is estimated that approximately 300000 lambs are exposed to this bacteria each year However they do not necessarily die from the infection says tick researcher Lise Grã¸va at Bioforsk Organic at Tingvoll in Norway.
Blood tests show that almost all the lambs are infected during the season in tick infested areas. The direct cause of death due to TBF is often an acute pasteurella infection--a bacterial disease
Disinfection of the umbilical cord in lambs immediately after birth has also been effective. It prevents new bacteria from entering the bloodstream.
Some lambs experience a shorter period of fever and a shorter period with poor immune system after an infection than others.
and whether this has an influence on the growth in lambs says Grã¸va. She emphasizes that having robust animals with good immune systems is a prerequisite for sheep husbandry in tick areas.
whether it is right to utilise them as it is seems that lambs are infected despite the use of such remedies.

and subsequent higher levels of fat in the liver after giving birth to their calves Middleton said.
These higher levels of fat in the liver are tied often to health problems in dairy cows including increased risk for uterus and mammary infections as well as ketosis
While the researchers did not find any direct links to health problems they say correlations with higher levels of fat in the liver call for further research into the health implications of low blood calcium levels.

The study published in mbio the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology sheds light on how the type of FMD virus called SAT 2 emerged in Sub-saharan africa
The data suggest that the common ancestor of all SAT 2 was in African buffalo.
It's very clear that historically infections have moved from buffalo to cattle says corresponding author Matthew Hall of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
In wild buffalo the disease is very rarely symptomatic and animals can be infected persistently for a period of several years.
What's more African buffalo are an important maintenance host meaning they maintain a reservoir of the virus that can re-infect domesticated animals after time
and domesticated animals was African buffalo. To Hall these results indicate that genetic tracking of viruses has a lot of potential for making inferences about viral spread and heading off future outbreaks.

We did not test for MRSA in meat in 2012 as there is still no indication that meat is a souce for transmission of MRSA in humans.
Animal and meat production in Denmark A large majority of the meat products produced in Denmark come from pigs.
In 2012 Denmark produced a total of 29047000 pigs corresponding to 1902 million kg of pork
along with 111080000 broiler chickens corresponding to 168 million kg of chicken meat and 539000 cattle corresponding to 138 million kg of beef.
In addition there were 580000 dairy cattle in Denmark producing 4928 million kg of milk. Meat was examined for MRSA in the period 2009-11
but this was done not in 2012. The risk of meat constituting a source of MRSA infection in humans is considered still to be very small.

Infections in domestic chickens most commonly result in mild disease. In rare cases if introduced from wild birds to poultry some viruses of the H5
To assess if a typical influenza virus subtype from gull can infect chickens Tønnessen inoculated chickens with an H16n3 virus obtained from herring gull.
Influenza virus was detected in the oropharynx of 2 of the 19 virus inoculated chickens and specific antibodies against H16 were found in the same two chickens.
The chickens did not become ill and the virus did not infect the contact chickens.
These results suggest that H16n3 virus from gull can cause a limited infection in chickens.
In order to find out why influenza viruses of the H13 and H16 subtypes primarily infect gulls Tønnessen examined
whether the internal proteins of these viruses have particular signatures (amino acid composition) possibly related to host adaptation.

Working in three Chinese provinces researchers led by Yi Guan Ph d. of the University of Hong kong collected samples from the throats and digestive tracts of chickens ducks geese pigeons and quail.
According to their analysis domestic ducks and chickens played distinct roles in the genesis of the H7n9 virus infecting humans today.
Within ducks and later within chickens various strains of avian H7n9 H7n7 and H9n2 influenza exchanged genes with one another in different combinations.
The resulting H7n9 virus began causing outbreaks among chickens in live poultry markets from which many humans became infected.

which first produced the blue egg in native South american chicken the Mapuche fowl and their European descendants Araucana between 200 and 500 years ago.
which revealed the genetic cause of the blue coloured egg shell--surprisingly--an ancient harmless retrovirus in the domestic chicken.
An unexpected find was the unique integration sites for the retrovirus in South american/European and Asian chickens.
and so the chance of a retrovirus integrating at more or less the same location in two chicken populations is extremely low.
Of course it's not only some breeds of chicken that produce blue eggs. They are commonly found across species of birds including those that lay blue eggs as well as non-blue eggs within a single population like the cuckoo and guillemot.
because some of these rarer native breeds of chicken with this unusual egg colour and high quality have become low in number
