BLACK SOLDIER FLY : INSECT TO FEED FOR FOOD SECURITY.
There is growing demand for animal products for human nutrition, despite the popularity of plant-based diets. This means more feed is needed for animals.
Future feed stuffs will need to be produced without exacerbating deforestation. Insects and microalgae are up-and-coming sectors to meet protein demands for humans and animals. Therefore, researchers investigated whether these alternative protein sources alter meat quality.

BLACK SOLDIER FLY=BLACK GOLD.
In a study conducted as a part of the project Sustainability Transitions in the Food Production. Broiler chickens were fattened using feed with the main protein sources being soybean meal, spirulina, or insects.
Animal growth, meat quality (especially concerning shelf life), and eating quality were investigated. Their results of laboratory testing and sensory (taste-testing) analyses across 132 birds show that black soldier fly larvae meal and spirulina can be included in poultry feed without negatively impacting quality.

Chickens fed with black soldier fly larvae meal produce meat equivalent to the status quo. Chickens fed with spirulina produce meat with a more intensive color and flavour.
"Overall, both prove to be potential soybean meal alternatives in the search for new protein sources for animal feed," as explained by the study lead researcher Dr Brianne Altmann. Research.

How to invest after the Corona crash.
Financial intelligence, making your money work for you. Warren Buffett once said that as an investor, it is wise to be “Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”
This so true and super relevant in this present economy. After the Corona Crisis crashed the stock market people began jumping into the stock market to buy stocks “at a discount”.But… they did so before they got educated.
They knew nothing about the fundamentals of investing… or the technicality of investing… and CERTAINLY nothing about risk mitigation. They jumped in because of GREED, not because of knowledge.
So now what happened? The GREED made millions jump into the deep end of the stock market. But they don’t know how to swim, so now they are experiencing FEAR. “Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”
Now the sharks come out. Those with the scent of blood and the knowledge to turn these drowning stock swimmers into PROFIT.
This real-life story is a current example that illustrates the need for two things: Financial education and emotional intelligence.
Learn how to be the shark. Learn how to PROTECT your current positions now and in the coming weeks. Learn how to hunt for BARGAINS in this historic market of opportunity. Learn how to create NEW CASH FLOW now... even with small accounts. Be the shark!!

FARM INSPECTION POST COVID-19.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of lifestyle changes were enforces to curb the spread of the virus.
The most important is the lock down restrictions which reduced movements within and outside states, countries and this affected farm visits.
These restrictions is also accompanied with social distancing, wearing of masks and the washing of hands. Biosecurity protocols on farms follow these stringent rules to curb the spread of the Corona virus, now the issue of inspection on farms is a game changer.
The Corona virus pandemic has raised the bar on biosecurity, so how will farmers engage veterinarians?
New technologies must be employed to ensure safety of animals and farmers. Technologies designed to help farmers overcome COVID-19 restrictions may have longer-term value changing the face of farm inspections.
This is where using phones, data, and an interactive platform will come in handy. Telecommunications is not only to ensure food security but food safety as well.
Farm visitation, assessment and health status check of animals can be done remotely using technological innovation. Pre- Covid-19, the use of cameras,cctv, monitors on farms was limited but post Covid-19,this will be the new norm.
Farms can be accessed using monitors and certain sensors to check health status of animals, this will limit human and vehicular traffic. This is precision livestock farming: hands-free model to promote biosecurity.
Read :Red Tractor innovation . Red Tractor may offer a model for others where a physical presence may no longer be possible or necessary. Standard Red Tractor assessments in the U.K. came to halt in March, but pandemic or no pandemic, the scheme needed to ensure that its members were adhering to its standards.
It now does this through what it has termed “virtual eyes” Rather than accept an inspector on farm, members of the scheme can now be checked via one of two ways.
One option requires members to submit documentation for pre-assessment which is then followed by a partial assessment using live-streaming technologies to produce a real-time farm inspection.
Alternatively, the entire assessment – reviewing paperwork and a visual inspection – can be streamed live with an assessor.

Medium-chain fatty acids: Protecting pigs from pathogens.
Global movement of feed ingredients calls for an in-feed disease mitigation strategy.
Feed and feed ingredients have the potential to harbor devastating bacteria and viruses like porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) and African swine fever (ASF).
The bacteria and viruses can be transmitted in feed – eventually making their way through the pig’s digestive system and replicating, causing infection.
The global movement of feed ingredients and commodities increases the risk of introducing disease through ingredients when sourced from areas of active disease pressures.
The risk of global disease transmission reinforces the need for an in-feed mitigation strategy to help guard against disease threats.
Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) have proven to be a useful biosecurity tool, essentially acting as security guards to protect pigs from bacteria and viruses.
The coconut oil contains a (medium chain fatty acid}begin working in feed, before pigs consume it, to reduce the feed’s pathogen load. After feed consumption, it continues to work inside the animal to weaken pathogens in the digestive tract. Learn how coconut oil in your pig diet can act as a biosecurity tool .
The coconut oil kills bacteria in feed before the pig consumes it and also prevents the replication of bacteria inside the pig.
This is how it kills bacteria:1)Degrade the bacterial cell membrane.
2)Dissociate into the bacterial cell, causing the pH inside the cell to drop.
3)Block DNA replication of bacterial cells. In case of viruses with envelopes this is how coconut oil protects the pigs.
