Domestication of rabbits from the wild is recent. Rabbit production has several advantages over other farm animal production enterprises especially in terms of low cost and easily available feedstuff, high reproductive efficiency and above all, high profitability. #AnimalsSection #Rabbits

Seasonal conditions vary considerably but animal requirements are quantifiable, as Livestock Managers there are numerous factors we can have influence over... 🟤 Timing of Livestock Activities - Joining, Lambing/Calving & Weaning 🟤 Animal health practices 🟤 Condition of animals through nutrition It is important to recognise there is no one specific mineral or vitamin that is key to reproductive performance, but the imbalance of many can have an impact.

SenseHub™ Cow Calf offers farmers 24/7 animal monitoring, capturing behavioural information that helps a farmer to detect animals in heat and potentially sick beef cows. Farmers have an at-a-glance view of cows in potential heat, and can actively monitor their herd, even when they're away, allowing for a greater peace of mind from knowing that herd trends are being monitored 24/7. With this information, farmers are able to make informed decisions regarding their herd's reproduction and are empowered to enhance their control over breeding programmes. Make more knowledgeable decisions to optimise productivity with SenseHub Cow Calf – find out how it can be integrated into your farm here: www.sensehub.global #SenseHubCowCalf #farmwithmorefreedom

Hardly the answer to the issue! Animal welfare and climate change both have to be addressed together you can’t forsake one to benefit the other! Breeding animals that will live a despicable existence just so they can produce more milk is deranged. They still are impregnated/ stripped from their calves and treated deplorably! The answer is for farmers to raise less milk cows and grow more plants that can produce plant based dairy!

 #TB to one of our last years articles! 🐔 Where we explored the different stages of the process of broiler breeding, explaining in detail the critical outlines of the phases and giving some insight on the development of chicks.

Isn’t it mind blowing to contemplate that every day around Australia so many farming activities are going on! Like clockwork; dairy cows are milked at the same time every day. 7 DAYS A WEEK. The milking data is collected, analyzed and is so precise that farmers can pinpoint individual cows which are not performing to their best potential. They then assess the cow for animal health issues and address it as needed. @dairyAustralia @daviesway @spanlift_sheds @belgennyfarm @futureddairy #milkingshed #australiaagriculture #dairyfarm #cows #farmlife #rurallife #agriculturesindustry #australiandairy #shedlife #agricultureimages #visualmarketing #farmingau #australianfarmers #ausag #farmonline #rurallife #ruralliving #countrylife #shareaustralia #aussieoutback #wow_australia #farmsofaustralia

Why meet us at @#IPPE2024? Fishmeal is a main source of raw material for the animal feed industry, for those seeking higher quality protein than soybeans. The problem is that fishmeal is primarily produced from wild-caught fish, which significantly damages the ocean ecosystem’s sustainability. As global awareness for environmental issues grows, there's increasing pressure to find more sustainable feed alternatives. Insect meal, and more specifically – Black Soldier Fly (BSF), is an excellent alternative.  So why don’t we see BSF farms all over the place? There are several obstacles, and the main one is the reproduction phase– that can be solved with ta reliable, efficient and high-quality supply of neonates.  This is where FreezeM comes in – we produce and deliver ready-to-use packages of pre-counted, life-suspended neonates. Timing neonates hatching in a 14 day window enables any facility worldwide to keep stock and stabilize production processes, significantly boosting production capacity. See you at @#IPPE2024! 

Traditional livestock farming methods may be deeply rooted in Africa’s local culture, but modern innovations like the Vet Konect's feed calculator, access to quick animal care, AI disease predictor feature and many more on www.vetkonect.com can offer many benefits to livestock farmers.

#Bacteriophages, once considered a niche area of research, are now gaining traction as potential feed additives in animal agriculture. With ongoing advancements in #PhageTechnology and a growing emphasis on #SustainableFarming practices, the use of bacteriophages as feed additives holds significant potential for enhancing animal welfare and addressing antibiotic resistance (#AMR) concerns in the agricultural industry.
