Study provides new insights into antibiotics and pig feeds (1/25/2012)

Antibiotics in pig feed increased the number of antibiotic resistant genes in gastrointestinal microbes in pigs, according to a study conducted by Michigan State University and the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service. Published in the current edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the comprehensive study focused on understanding the effects of conventional, in-feed antibiotics in US farms. ...> Full Article


'Meating' a solution: Research finds that LED lights extend meat shelf life, save retailers money (1/24/2012)

Several Kansas State University researchers have found that using light-emitting diode, or LED, lights in refrigeration units could save the retail meat industry millions of dollars each year. A switch to LED lights reduces energy costs and extends the shelf life of some beef products. ...> Full Article


Researching the use of vegetable by-products for animal feed (1/23/2012)

Researching the use of vegetable by-products for animal feedAZTI-Tecnalia has successfully completed the second of three phases to characterize by-products as set out in the Clean Feed project. It aims to use the vegetable by-products that are generated in the distribution sector and in the production and transformation processes of the foodstuffs industry, and incorporate them into animal feed. ...> Full Article


How far is far enough? (1/22/2012)

There is an increasing trend towards nimbyism -- people welcome developments in principle, so long as they are "not in my backyard." But just how big is a backyard? The answer depends on a number of factors and Guenther Schauberger of the University of Veterinary Medicine, has now developed a mathematical model to calculate appropriate distances from residential areas for livestock building to be sited. The model is published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. ...> Full Article


Good parents are predictable -- at least when it comes to corn (1/21/2012)

Good parents are predictable -- at least when it comes to cornIn order to breed new varieties of corn with a higher yield faster than ever before, researchers at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany, and other institutions are relying on a trick: early selection of the most promising parent plants based on their chemical and genetic makeup, as well as on new statistical analysis procedures. The work has now been published in the authoritative journal Nature Genetics on Sunday evening, Jan. 15. ...> Full Article


Discovery of plant 'nourishing gene' brings hope for increased crop seed yield and food security (1/20/2012)

University of Warwick scientists have discovered a "nourishing gene" which controls the transfer of nutrients from plant to seed -- a significant step which could help increase global food production. ...> Full Article
