A Cabinet rank Minister for Animal Husbandry, Dairy and Fishries -Good news indeed In the history of Independent India, it is the first time when a Minister with a Cabinet rank is given an independent charge for development of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries in the country. The newly formed independent Ministry is headed by honourable Sh. Giriraj Singh.

"It looks promising, and we are continuing research." If seaweed feed supplement is a viable option to make a difference globally, the scale of production would have to be immense, Hristov noted. With nearly 1.5 billion head of cattle in the world, harvesting enough wild seaweed to add to their feed would be impossible. Even to provide it as a supplement to most of the United States' 94 million cattle is unrealistic. "To be used as a feed additive on a large scale, the seaweed would have to be cultivated in aquaculture operations," he said. "Harvesting wild seaweed is not an option because soon we would deplete the oceans and cause an ecological problem." Still, the capability of Asparagopsistaxiformis to mitigate enteric methane as a feed supplement demands

Also, the long-term effects of seaweed on animal health and reproduction and its effects on milk and meat quality need to be determined. A panel judging milk taste is part of ongoing research, Hristov said. Cows burping -- often incorrectly characterized as cows farting -- methane and contributing to climate change has been the subject of considerable derision within the U.S., conceded Hristov, who is recognized as an international leader in conducting research assessing greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture. It is taken seriously in other countries, he explained, because the average dairy cow belches 380 pounds of the potent greenhouse gas a year. "But methane from animal agriculture is just 5 percent of the total greenhouse gases produced in the United States -much, much more comes from the energy and transportation sectors," Hristov said. "So, I think it's a fine line with the politics surrounding this subject. Do we want to look at this? I definitely think that we should, and if there is a way that we can reduce emissions without affecting profitability on the farm, we should pursue it." And there may be a hidden benefit.

Global cereal production to dampen this year: FAO Global food prices rose for the 5th consecutive month in May, pushed up by rising prices of cheese and maize due to adverse weather conditions. FAO's latest forecast for world cereal production in 2019 points to an increase of 1.2 percent from 2018, to 2 685 million tonnes. However, the year-on-year expansion is now much less significant than earlier predicted, as global maize production is now seen to fall in 2019, largely because of sharp downward revisions since the previous report concerning maize production prospects in the United States. Due to prolonged excessive wet conditions resulting in major delays in crop plantings, this year's maize production in the United States is now pegged at 330 million tonnes, down 45 million tonnes from FAO's first production forecast published in May and almost 10 percent (36 million tonnes) short of last year's level. The recent USDA crop progress report pointed to a sharply reduced planted area of only 58 percent of planting intentions as of 26 May, well below the 5-year average level of 90 percent and the slowest pace ever recorded.

adjustment again concerns the United States, where, because of deteriorating production prospects, total domestic utilization of maize is seen to fall below the 2018/19 level. Following the revision for the United States, world utilization of coarse grains in 2019/20 is now anticipated to reach 1 434 million tonnes, down 0.9 percent from the previous forecast but 0.7 percent higher than in 2018/19. Global wheat utilization is expected to grow by 1.2 percent, reaching 755 million tonnes, while that of rice is predicted to reach 518 million tonnes, 1.4 percent higher than in 2018/19. Based on the latest production and utilization forecasts, world cereal stocks could decline by as much as 26 million tonnes, or 3 percent, in the new season to a four-year low of 830 million tonnes. This figure is around 18 million tonnes, or 2 percent, below the FAO's May forecast. The sharp month-onmonth downward revision is mostly associated with maize, whereas the forecasts for wheat and rice inventories have been raised slightly since the previous report. The projected fall in cereal stocks would result in a drop in the global cereal stock-to-use ratio to just below 30 percent, which still points to a relatively comfortable supply level. Globally, coarse grain inventories are seen heading towards a second consecutive annual decline in 2019/20, falling by 9 percent to just over 369 million tonnes, the lowest level since 2014/15. By contrast, total wheat stocks could expand by 4.6 percent year-on-year and approach a near-record level of 281 million tonnes. The increase of 1 percent in wheat stocks since May reflects upward adjustments made for the EU and the United States, outweighing downward revisions in Australia and the Russian Federation.

World trade in cereals in 2019/20 is forecast at around 414 million tonnes, up 1.2 million tonnes, or 0.3 percent, from the cereal production in 2019 is attributed to expected expansions in wheat and barley previous forecast and nearly 6 million tonnes, or 1.4 percent, production, with year-on-year increases of higher than the estimated total shipments of cereals in 2018/19.

By contrast, wheat trade is predicted to most other regions, triggered by rebound by 3.3 percent from the 2018/19 reduced level, inclement weather and prospects of driven by stronger import demand by several countries, reduced profit margins. especially in Africa and Asia, and supported by the World cereal utilization in 2019/20 is expectation of large export availabilities in the Black Sea forecast to reach 2 707 million tonnes, region and the EU.

Beijing might be trying to buy more time with the delay, one of the sources said, giving it the option to still cancel cargoes if its trade talks with Washington do not go well. Some U.S. exporters were open to rolling shipments because more export-grade soybeans in storage in the upper Midwest farm belt would be available once flooded rivers recede and barge shipments resume. Beijing recently decided to stockpile the remaining U.S. soybean cargoes waiting to be shipped, rather than crush them for immediate sale as a feed ingredient. Source: financialpost

NUTRITION

Undoubtedly water is the most important nutrient for lactating cattle subjected to heat stress. Milk contains about 87 percent water, and water is critical for discharge of excess body heat. Water intake directly affects the milk yield. The consumption of water increases sharply as the

Fibre digestion may add significantly to the cow's heat load. Between hay and concentrate the cattle usually consumes less hay when subjected to heat stress (Johnson et al., 1963). As per available data, high fibber diets do have a greater heat increment than diets low in fibber. The same data suggests Cattle fed high and low forage diets in hot weather, with the difference made up by concentrates, produced more fat-corrected milk, had lower body temperatures (.51° F lower), and had fewer respiration (14.1 fewer breaths/min) for the low fibber diets (Stott and Moody, 1960). Intake of DM and milk yield were greater for cattle fed diets containing 14 versus 17 or 21% ADF, and milk yield was less sensitive to changes in daily minimum temperature for cattle fed the 14% ADF diet (Cummins, 1992). At any given temperature DMI was greater for cattle fed the lower ADF diets. However as daily minimum temperature increased, DMI declined more rapidly for the lower ADF diets. Important to remember is that total DMI was greater for the low fibber diets. A plausible explanation for this response is that greater total DMI for cattle fed the low fibber diets contributed to increased metabolic heat production, causing a more environmental temperature rises

Earlier only 3 states were at severe risk zone, this time, 5 states are in same zone adding Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh.
