Abstract: The study aims to verify the effect of using agricultural by-products fermented with Moringa-based probiotics in the diet to improve the productive performance and economic value of the swine diet. The study was carried out in the Laboratory area of the Faculdade de Agricultura Hera, in the municipality of Dili from August 12 to October 16, 2021. The Experimental Method with Latin Square Design was used, consisting of 5 treatments and 5 replications. The variables observed are the productive performance and the economic value of the diet. The treatments applied composed of: T0 (as control), T1, T2, T3, and T4 use fermented by-products with different levels in the diet formulation. The study results showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) between treatments. The means comparison test revealed that T3 was the best treatment compared to the other treatments. The pigs that received T3 were able to improve intake by about 1238.40g per day with a feed conversion of 2.55 and consumption efficiency of 44.78%. It increases shoulder height by 0.35 cm per day and average daily weight by 510g, in addition to providing high yields in the sale of pork. On the other hand, there were no real differences in the variables as initial and final body weight, breast circumference, hip height, animal length and body length of pig’s.

Abstract: This project examines social dynamics of North African dama gazelles (Nanger dama ruficollis) under different combinations in a large, 202 ha, rangeland pasture in Central Texas, USA. There are many wildlife ranches in this part of Texas that keep herds of these critically endangered dama gazelles. Therefore, an increased understanding of how these pasture animals may assort themselves under different social combinations can not only help managers sustain and grow their herds but also bolster the numbers that give the species a better chance to remain viable while status in their native countries remains precarious. Investigated were: (1) 7 adult females with one adolescent male and one young adult male, (2) the same adult females and immature male without any adult males, (3) the same adult females and the young, now maturing, male with multiple adult males. It was shown that multiple adult males can co-exist in large pastures with minimal aggression, even when females are present, provided there is informed management. All the gazelles wore GPS-radio collars (7 adult females, 1 immature male, and 1-to-3 adult males depending on phase of the project). Locations were recorded every 3 hr. Visual observations were made monthly. Project duration was December 19, 2014, until June 30, 2016. Without the initial adult male, the female herd split and association values declined. With new adult males added, 2 divided the pasture, thus, separating spatially. The maturing male kept his core area where the main female group stayed, but now separated temporally. Adult males focused on areas favored by females but did not direct the movements of the females. These males did not associate as closely with females as females did with each other. Estimating maximum possible adult males for a pasture must allow for slope, vegetation density, and sites favored by females. The only two similar studies determined larger core areas under more xeric conditions, but these other studies could not assess group dynamics in detail without collars on more animals.

Abstract: Pork farm animals have massive function in imparting protein meals for consumers. The take a look at become performed in Hawa Gelan district, Kellem Wollega Zone Western Oromia Ethiopia with the goal to Assessment on Challenges and Opportunities of Beef Cattle Production. Assessment on challenges and opportunities of beef cattle production was carried out on 80 farmers in the study district. Majority of the respondents has been used blended manufacturing device (50%) due to the fact maximum of the red meat farm animals manufacturers had been they take part in crop manufacturing, farm animals rearing sports and dealer game. The end result of this take a look at shows that 45% of the respondents rely upon herbal pasture, 22.5% of crop residues, 15% of sparkling grass cutting, 7.5% of sugar cane and 10% of maize grain as a basal feed for his or her farm animals. Price willpower for pork farm animals advertising and transactions on the look at place 87.5% have been through the negotiation among the sellers/manufacturers and the customers and 12.5% of the respondents said that agents intervene among the sellers/manufacturers and the customers. The foremost water supply is determined from river water, faucet water and ponds. The supply of livestock for fattening had been majorly from marketplace (purchasing, 78.75%), whilst the rests had been from personal herd 10% and 11.25% from both. Feed scarcity, feed cost, land scarcity, insufficient housing, genetic aspect and occurrence of illnesses like blackleg disease, lumpy pores and skin disease, Pasteurellosis, Anthrax, Bloating and Parasites are the foremost demanding situations for pork farm animals manufacturing. The root reasons of feed scarcity had been loss of land, excessive fee of feed and occasional great and amount of feed supplementation. When the manufacturer receives the land that used for forage manufacturing they must be use advanced forage. The authorities must paintings on introducing excessive feed yielder forage and must forage improvement techniques specifically outside forage manufacturing gadget to be able to clear up the feed scarcity in phrases of great and amount. Government must enhance advertising linkage of the pork farm animal’s products. In the destiny the limitations cited at the take a look at region must be solved via way of means of the authorities in collaboration with all stake holders and the possibilities must be improve above these.
