Submitted by webmaster on Sat, 13/11/2010 - 3:56pm|
Consumption of poultry meat and eggs is increasing steadily moving from a global total of 85 million tonnes in 1992 to 117 million tonnes in 2000 (Executive Guide to World Poultry Trends, 2001,). Biotechnology has provided good tool for breeders to select for and monitor the age at sexual maturity, rate of lay before and after moult, livability in the growing and laying house, egg weight, body weight, feed conversion, shell colour, shell strength, albumen height, egg inclusions (blood and meat spots) and temperament and traits affecting the productivity of the parent. Egg production per hen housed will continue to be the single most important trait under biotechnological selection. However, the emphasis has been shifting from peak rate of lay to persistency of lay. |

Some Global challenges in Food Production
Submitted by webmaster on Sat, 13/11/2010 - 3:52pm|

Prominent among these problems are the use of agro-chemicals and genetically modified(GM) plant and animal stocks. It is obvious, we need sufficient food worldwide, however food must be produced in a safe and sustainable manner- This view has been expressed strongly and presently alternative methods of mass food production for the teeming world population without compromising human health and environmental safety is being advocated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) which are both outstanding organs of the United Nations (UN) concerned with the state of world food and human health, respectively. |
