Delayed harvest prolongs tight supply situation 

The 2014 harvest was expected to result in ample supplies, alleviating tight stocks, specifically for soybeans.

 

While it is clear that this will be realized, several factors have slowed the process of getting the crops on line, resulting in a prolonged tight supply situation.

 

A new report from Rabobank said four key supply constraints have contributed to the slow accumulation of the physical crop inventories: a late harvest, on-farm storage, market incentives for commercial storage and delays in rail transportation. The report authors also suggested that these issues would not likely be resolved until the end of the first quarter of 2015.

 

"While the harvests will be nearly completed by the end of November, we expect the combination of storage and transportation issues to restrict grain flow and to drive a post-harvest cash premium through (the first quarter of) 2015," they wrote.

Wildlife study advises coexisting 

 

A new study led by the University of California-Berkeley and involving the University of Colorado-Boulder indicates that the current response to wildfires around the world - aggressively fighting them - is not making society less vulnerable to such events.

 

The findings suggest that the key is to treat fires like other natural hazards - including earthquakes, severe storms and flooding - by learning to coexist, adapt and identify vulnerabilities.

 

The new study determined that government-sponsored firefighting and land management policies may actually encourage development on inherently hazardous landscapes, leading to an amplification of human loss to wildfire.

 

"We don't try to 'fight' earthquakes; we anticipate them in the way we plan communities, build buildings and prepare for emergencies. We don't think that way about fire, but our review indicates that we should," said lead author Max Moritz of the University of California-Berkeley's College of Natural Resources. "Human losses will only be mitigated when land use planning takes fire hazards into account in the same manner as other natural hazards, like floods, hurricanes and earthquakes."

A life-saving turkey bacteria 

 Turkey is good for more than Thanksgiving dinner: The biological machinery needed to produce a potentially life-saving antibiotic is found in turkeys.

 

Brigham Young University microbiologist Joel Griffitts, whose team is exploring how the turkey-born antibiotic comes to be, said, "The good bacteria we're studying has been keeping turkey farms healthy for years, and it has the potential to keep humans healthy as well."

 

The good bacteria, known as Strain 115, produces the MP1 antibiotic, which could target staph infections, strep throat, severe gastrointestinal diseases and roughly half of all infectious bacteria. This antibiotic, however, is not in widespread use because of its complex structure.

Global push to end malnutrition


There are 805 million undernourished people in the world today, meaning that one in nine people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life.

 

According to the U.N. World Food Programme, hunger and malnutrition are the number-one risk to health worldwide - greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

 

Overcoming malnutrition in all of its forms - caloric undernourishment, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity - requires a combination of interventions in different areas that guarantee the availability of and access to healthy diets, according to the U.N. Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO).

 

However, it also requires a coordinated global effort, and the time is now for bold action to end hunger and ensure adequate nutrition for all, FAO director-general Jose Graziano da Silva said Nov. 21 in closing remarks at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), an inclusive, intergovernmental meeting on nutrition jointly organized by FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO).

4th International Symposium on Dairy Cow Nutrition and Milk Quality
The 4th International Symposium on Dairy Cow Nutrition and Milk Quality will be held May 8 to 10, 2015 at the Friendship Hotel in Beijing, China. http://bjfriendshiphotel.com/siteen/index.html

The three previous symposia were held at the same venue in 2009, 2011, and 2013. Proceedings from the 2011 and 2013 symposia are available through S-PAC subscription http://spac.adsa.org.  Sponsors for the 4th Symposium will be the Institute of Animal Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, American Dairy Science Association, and Dairy Association of China.  At the 3rd Symposium there were 668 attendees from all areas of China and were comprised approximately of 33% from 31 universities, 20% from 47 Quality Inspection Centers, 7% from 6 Tech-Extension groups, 21% from 50 dairy related companies, 9% from 15 dairy farms, and 30 speakers.  Of the 30 speakers, 15 were ADSA members of which 11 were from the U.S.  Three different Sessions on Advances in Fundamental Research, Advances in Milk Quality and Safety, and Advances in New Technology and Products will be held twice along with Opening and Closing Sessions. 

A graduate student presentation contest will be held with topics including, but not limited to, dairy cow nutrition and feed science, dairy cow health, rumen microbiology, mammary gland cell biology, biosynthesis and regulation of milk, milk quality and safety.   All abstracts will be reviewed and some will be selected for oral presentation. The format of abstracts can be downloaded from this symposium website. http://www.mrtweb.cn/English/Symposium/2015/Deadline for abstract submission is March 10, 2015.  Please email abstract to jiaqiwang@vip.163.com

Are You Part of ADSA® on Linked In

Our ADSA Linked In group continues to grow. This week we topped 1,100 now have 1,106 members from around the world, are you one of them? It's a great place to network with other dairy professionals from around the world.  Check it out here.


ADSA asks:  Did You Know about the Recorded Symposia?

As part of our ongoing effort to increase awareness of benefits associated with being a member of ADSA, this week we highlight  ADSA's joint annual meeting synchronized, recorded symposia library.  Included in your membership dues is access to a treasure trove of synchronized, recorded symposia from past joint annual meetings.  Members have access to all Joint Annual Meeting (American Dairy Science Association, American Society of Animal Science, and for some years, Poultry Science Association) recorded symposia, starting in 2003. Several recorded symposia are added to the collection each year.

To access these symposia, just click Member e-product portal from the dropdown menu under Membership on the black menu bar at the top of the ADSA home page, then click Recorded Symposia from that drop down menu and click the "Click here for direct access to joint annual meeting recorded symposia." link at the bottom of the section. 

ADSA records a production and a dairy foods symposium at each JAM. There are now over 60 symposia in the collection and available for use!  The following were recorded at the 2013 JAM in Indianapolis:

*               Dairy Foods Symposium: New Approaches to Lower Sodium in Cheese and Techniques to Address Quality Challenges

*               Multidisciplinary and International Leadership Keynote (MILK) Symposium: Colostrum Quality, Analytical Methods and Processing Challenges

*               Trace Mineral Nutrition Symposium

Thank you for being a member of ADSA! Not a member, or haven't yet renewed for 2015? Click here, complete the form and gain all the benefits of membership.

 


Help the animal and dairy science community and attend JAM 2015 for free, too! 

Referrals are the most tried-and-true way businesses grow, and the same is true for the Federation of Animal Science Societies (FASS). Do you know a colleague working with an animal science group that is in need of high-quality, cost-effective support services? Help them out by referring them to Jamie Ritter, FASS Executive Director at jamier@assochq.org .


Help them benefit from the shared resource concept and the 264 years of collective experience the FASS staff have in working with non-profit animal science organizations. If your referral becomes a FASS customer prior to July 1, 2015, ADSA will comp your registration to the 2015 JAM. It's win-win-win. For more information about services offered by FASS, click here.
