Liquid Feeding

A sustainable animal production can improve the efficiency of animal production and recycle of animal waste, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It can be achieved by firstly, properly operation of animal production, such as improvement by animal breeding, synthesis of amino acids, improvement by animal nutrition, good housing design, phase feeding system, liquid feeding system, using left over of one day bakery and biscuit factory, left over of vegetable and fruit market, new methods to plant Leucaena or mulberry to feed goats, grass or fodder plant in hydroponic house for sustainable farming. Secondly, good waste management, such as transferring waste to no contaminant material and even to useful material, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, liquid waste management, and solid waste treatment. All these subjects also need to consider the interaction between knowledge, e.g. breeding and nutrition need to consider about environmental temperature factors; waste management needs to consider about nutrient requirement by vegetable, fruit, etc. A sustainable animal production is a kind of science integrated different knowledge together, then you can achieve some good results.

Global agriculture will be challenged by future population growth in the developing nations in Africa and Asia, concurrent with regional changes in climate that will adversely affect local crop and fodder production. The uncoupling of animal production from land area by global trade in high energy grains and protein meals, which has underpinned industrialised livestock production in the developed world, is forecast to continue in some population growth hotspots of the developing world. However, the projected rise in fossil fuel costs and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their use will increasingly favour use of non-cereal energy sources, and the extent of feeding cereal grains to livestock in the developing world into the middle of this century is uncertain. Meeting the developing world’s growing demand for meat, milk and eggs in the face of the 3-fold challenge of population growth, climate change and fossil energy decline, demands a fresh vision, and the development of fresh technologies for animal nutrition in coming decades. How can high efficiency production be achieved from feeds of low metabolisability? This question is as critical for aquaculture as it is for land-based production. Enhancing ruminant capacity to generate animal product from crop by-products is fundamental in this achievement, but livestock access to crop residues will be in competition with the emerging second-generation (cellulosic) biofuels industry. Industrial technologies that treat crop residues to improve their nutritive value at source, not just as end-user treatments, will be required. There is scope to boost animal production and also reduce enteric greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. nitrate supplements) and the expanded capability in rumen microbiology may deliver targeted tools to mitigate emissions and increase energy yield from cellulosic feedstuffs. The greatest challenge of tomorrow’s nutritionist, however, is to provide local feed energy resources and enhanced nutrient utilisation, allowing a high yield of animal product without reliance on imported cereal grains and oilseed meals.

Scenario Approach

On the eve of the worldwide negotiations of a new climate agreement in December 2009 in Copenhagen it is important to clearly understand what Russia can do to mitigate energy-related greenhouse gas emissions in the medium (until 2020) and in the long term (until 2050). The paper investigates this issue using modeling tools and scenario approach. It concludes that transition to the "Low-Carbon Russia" scenarios must be accomplished in 2020—2030 or sooner, not only to mitigate emissions, but to block potential energy shortages and its costliness which can hinder economic growth.

Global Problems

Aim. Proper development of animal breeding in the conditions of current global problems and the decrease of anthropogenic burden on environment due to greenhouse gas emissions, caused by animal breeding activity, require the study of interaction processes between animal breeding and external climatic conditions. Methods. The theoretical substantiation of the problem was performed based on scientifi c literature, statistical informa- tion of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the data of the National greenhouse gas emissions inventory in Ukraine. Theoretically possible emissions of greenhouse gases into atmosphere due to animal breeding in Ukraine and specifi c farms are calculated by the international methods using the statistical infor- mation about animal breeding in Ukraine and the economic-technological information of the activity of the investigated farms. Results. The interaction between the animal breeding production and weather-and-climate conditions of environment was analyzed. Possible vectors of activity for the industry, which promote global warming and negative processes, related to it, were determined. The main factors, affecting the formation of greenhouse gases from the activity of enterprises, aimed at animal breeding production, were characterized. Literature data, statistical data and calculations were used to analyze the role of animal breeding in the green- house gas emissions in global and national framework as well as at the level of specifi c farms with the consid- eration of individual specifi cities of these farms. Conclusions. Current global problems require clear balance between constant development of sustainable animal breeding and the decrease of the carbon footprint due to the activity of animal breeding.
