Biofuels are one of the strategies proposed for adaptation and mitigation to global warming; Originated by greenhouse gases, considered as the most important anthropogenic disturbance that the man has realized on the natural resources. Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), CO2 released by the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas). Biofuels are liquid fuels produced from agricultural crops that are obtained through industrialization to obtain fuel (ethanol and biodiesel) and are considered to have very little ecological footprint. The objective of this paper is to analyze the potential of this agroindustry, mainly in the state of Veracruz, and whether the industry is a reality or a myth.

Productivity of sorghum has been below potential in arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya, due to poor agronomic practices and soil nutrient deficiency. Sorghum crop is fairly drought tolerant, resistant to waterlogging, and yields are reasonably better in infertile soils compared to other crops. Proper agronomic practices would significantly increase yields as well as nutrient content in grains and crop residues used as livestock feed. The objective of this study was to investigate the existing sorghum production practices and sorghum use as food and feed sources. A survey involving 90 farmers from sorghum producing areas in Makueni County was conducted. The survey focused on the varieties and fertilizers used, trends in yields, constraints to sorghum production and the present strategies used for sorghum as animal feed. Most farmers (84.4%) used uncertified seeds from own saved sources, and the commonly grown variety was Seredo (44.5%) due to resistance to bird damage. The majority (32.1%) of farmers recorded very low yield of sorghum grain, from151 to 250 kg ha-1. Most farmers (68.9%) used farmyard manure in sorghum production, while 30.9% of the farmers did not use any fertilizer. All farmers indicated that their greatest challenge in sorghum production was inadequate rainfall. Bird damage to the crop was a chronic problem to most (73.3%) farmers. The majority (58.9%) of farmers conserved sorghum residue for feed as hay. The findings show the need to provide technical information and guidance on the production practices, such as choosing best-yielding seed varieties, proper methods of pest and disease control and proper use and conservation of sorghum residue as animal feed.

Published: May 2023

Mucuna pruriens is a high-protein food and feed and a nutraceutical; however, its L-Dopa content limits its use for these purposes. Effects of 3 extraction methods on L-Dopa concentration and nutritional composition were determined. Beans were ground to 1 mm (Fine) or 6 mm (Coarse) and divided into 3 treatments (n=8 samples/treatment): sonication (SON) for 5 minutes in water or extraction in solutions of 25 g/100g acetic acid (ACD, pH 3) or sodium hydroxide (ALK, pH 11) for 8 hours. Fine particle treatments decreased (P<0.05) concentrations of L-Dopa (from 2.8 to <0.2 g/100g), crude protein (CP) and water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) and increased (P<0.05) their aNDF and starch concentrations; sonication reduced (P<0.05) the ether extract (EE). Among coarse particles, only ALK reduced (P<0.05) the L-Dopa concentration (from 2.8 to 2 g/100g). Sonication reduced (P<0.05) the CP, WSC, and EE concentrations and ALK increased (P<0.05) their starch concentration. Acid extraction consistently increased (P<0.05) all amino acid concentrations. Alkali extraction also increased (P<0.05) concentrations of amino acids except lysine. However, sonication decreased (P<0.05) concentrations of amino acids except cysteine and proline. In conclusion, the most effective extraction methods reduced L-Dopa in fine Mucuna particles to safe levels, but increased aNDF and starch concentrations while reducing WSC and CP.

Published: May 2023

Sow’ digestive and metabolic adaptations during the transition pregnancy-lactation causes decreases in the voluntary feed intake, because of blood glucose increase, essential for intrauterine growth of the litter and mammary gland. Aspect (feed intake reduction) that is maintained at least during the first week post-partum. These conditions encourage the sow (post-partum) to initiate with negative energy balance, forcing the organism to mobilize body reserves to satisfy its nutritional requirements. However, under modern swine production practices, this adaptation represents an obstacle to express the reproductive and productive potential of the species; since, this potential is based on the metabolic state of the sow during lactation and post-partum, where, glucose, insulin and other metabolites (NEFA, IGF-1 and leptin) play a predominant role. These factors have been analyzed in isolation, so it is necessary to integrate them to be clear about the strategies that must be established before the lactational hypophagia. Therefore, in this review try, to articulate the results of various researches around this topic and analyze them under a holistic perspective where both factors and interactions attributable to the phenomenon are prioritized.

Archaeological zones in Mexico effectively preserve the vegetal diversity within them. An analysis and description were done of woody vegetation structure, diversity and floristic affinity in the Uxmal Archaeological Zone, in the Puuc region of Yucatan, Mexico. Twenty quadrants measuring 10 x 10 m (100 m2) were placed throughout the zone to sample its diverse substrates. Height and diameter at breast height (DBH) of woody species with DBH >1cm were measured in each quadrant. Floristic affinities were analyzed with a dendrogram generated using the Morisita-Horn index. A total of 1,622 individuals were recorded which belonged to 101 species and 76 genera from 31 families. The richest families were Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Malvaceae, Polygonaceae and Euphorbiaceae. The species with the highest relative importance values were Bursera simaruba, Piscidia piscipula, Diospyros anisandra, Thouinia paucidentata, Gymnopodium floribundum and Lonchocarpus xuul. The most frequent species were B. simaruba and D. anisandra, those with the greatest density were D. anisandra and L. xuul, and the most dominant were G. floribundum and P. piscipula. Floristic affinity analysis identified three floristic groups: dry tropical forest; mixed seasonally flooded forest; and semi-evergreen tropical forest. Although relatively small in area, Uxmal has highly diverse microclimates and substrate types which support a diverse woody species composition, structure and physiognomy within the same seasonally dry tropical forest.

Intensive silvopastoral systems are being increasingly disseminated in the tropical areas of Mexico, Central and South America, so it is important to know the quality of the animal products generated in these systems. Fatty acid profile of fresh soft cheese (Domiati type) produced from milk of cows grazing Leucaena leucocephala associated with Cynodon nlemfuensis in an intensive silvopastoral system (ISS) was evaluated and compared with a cheese produced from cows grazing a traditional monoculture system (MS) of C. nlemfuensis. The legume L. leucocephala contains phenolic compounds that could affect the fatty acid biohydrogenation in the rumen and therefore the fatty acid profile of resultant milk and cheese. Milk samples from cows in both diets (systems) were processed monthly for cheese making and cheese samples were analyzed for fatty acid profile. The experimental period lasted for 10 months covering the rainy and dry season of a tropical area in Mexico. The results showed that the cheese produced in ISS had significantly lower content (P<0.05) of the saturated fatty acids lauric, myristic and palmitic and significantly higher content (P<0.05) of stearic, linoleic and γ-linolenic acids. Additionally, higher content (P<0.05) of the polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids were found in the cheese from ISS. The results suggest that fresh soft cheese produced from silvopastoral systems based on L. leucocephala has a better fatty acid profile than that produced from the traditional MS with grass only.

Published: May 2023

Textile industry that has less optimal waste management due to the absence of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) tends to dispose the waste directly into the water or river. Most farmers near industrial area use liquid waste for irrigation water. This generates negative impacts of complicated problems in the agricultural sector, especially heavy metals contamination in paddy soils. In such case, bioremediation can be done to handle the contaminated soils by heavy metals to create a healthy farming environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the chelating agents (Agrobacterium sp. I37 or compost) to the characteristic of soil and the level of Pb in rice plant. This study was conducted between June - September 2017 in Tasikmadu, Karanganyar, Indonesia. The experimental design was factorial using randomized completely block design (RCBD) as the based design. There are two factors in this research: a) inorganic fertilizer (P): without inorganic fertilizer (P0) with inorganic fertilizer (P1); b) chelator (B): without chelator (B0), with chelator Agrobacterium sp I37 (B1), with chelator compost (B2). There were six treatment combinations then replicated 3 times for each treatment, so there were 18 unit treatments. The results showed that Agrobacterium sp. I37 or compost can decrease soil Pb. The best treatment in decreasing soil Pb was treatment using Agrobacterium sp. I37, which soil Pb decreased of 42.91% from 8.04 mg/kgto 4.59 mg/kg; could enhance accumulation of Pb in the roots of 69, 63% and decrease Pb levels in rice grains around 55.67% higher than control treatment.

Traditional fruit orchards are agroecosystems characterized by their rich flora, wildlife and domestic species that constitute reservoirs of production of ecosystem goods and services, therefore, their knowledge is fundamental for its regional function on biological and cultural diversity. The objective of this research was to record the wild and domestic fauna of cultural and ecological importance registered in traditional fruit orchards (TFO) of the Ixtlahuacán neighborhood, Yautepec, Morelos, Mexico. The methodology consisted on ethnobiological and ecological techniques, guided tours by 13 TFO and the application of 55 open interviews. To determine the cultural importance of the fauna, the Cultural Value Index (ICV) was calculated and random samplings were made to observe the faunal and floral composition from each orchard, with indirect and direct methods. There were 31 species of plants recorded in which the interviewees identified 60 species of wild vertebrates, 48% birds, 21% mammals, 22% reptiles and 9% amphibians. The values of use for the registered wildlife were: food (75%), pet (58%) and medicinal (33%). The species with the highest IIC were Ctenosaura pectinata and Didelphis virginiana. Glaucidium brasilianum, Tyto alba, Amazilia violiceps, Myiozetetes similis and Icterus pustulatus were classified as superstitious birds. The ecosystem services provided by the fauna based on the knowledge of the interviewees were: seed dispersers (42%), insect consumers and predation (37%), elimination of dead animals (8.3%) and pollinators (1.6%). The domestic fauna includes seven species, 57% mammals and 43% birds. Gallus gallus hen provides meat and eggs as a source of protein. The owners who have traditional fruit gardens in the neighborhood of Ixtlahuacán recognize the fauna that visits these agroecosystems, in addition to the goods and services that provide them, therefore, these production systems should be considered in state public policies as wildlife conservation areas.

Lecithin is the main phospholipid of soybean oil. It participates in the membrane formation of all body cells and provides energy. The aim of this research was to study the partial or total substitution of soybean oil (SB) and acidulated soybean fatty acids (AFA) by soybean lecithin (L) on the productive response, amount of liver ether extract, and the coloration of liver and skin from chickens fed with corn-soybean diets. Mixed-Cobb 500 broiler chickens from 1 to 42 days of age were used in a completely randomized design composed by 7 treatments of 8 repetitions with 50 birds each. The treatments consisted in the partial or total replacement (25% and 50%) of SB by L and AFA. No significant differences (P>0.05) were found in the productive variables, liver yellowness, carcass skin and the percentage of liver ethereal extract between treatments. In conclusion, the L is an alternative source for SB or AFA in corn-soybean diets for broiler chickens as a total or partial replacement, without affecting the productive response, liver ether extract, and yellowness coloration of liver and skin.

Published: May 2023

The study of traditional agroforestry systems has been relevant worldwide, because they are strategies that farmers have adopted in the management of natural resources. The objective of this work was to carry out a stratification of the production units of the silvopastoral system in the Sierra de Huautla Biosphere Reserve in order to characterize the level of resources available to the different types of production units. The total of peasant production units (UPC) analyzed were 3351 in the 31 localities of the reserve. A cluster analysis was carried out for the construction of the categories, accompanied by an ANAVA. The delimitation of the variables was made based on the concept of peasant livestock; the selection was through a correlation analysis. Five groups were determined, which present statistical differences. The amount of livestock is the main variable to delimit the groups. It was found that group I lacks cattle, in II they have nine heads on average, group III has 12 heads, in group IV they have 44 heads and in group V they have 225 heads. The livestock identity, agroclimatic conditions, capitalization of the UPC, origin of the work force and land surface are qualitative and quantitative elements that determined the groups. It is concluded that the characterization of the groups, can contribute to the construction of differentiated policies to put together development proposals for the communities of the reserve, because they represent the reality of a rural livestock that seeks survival in a situation of agricultural policy that currently does not it favors him.

The aim was to evaluate the effect of cut age on ruminal function and in vitro gas production of Brachiaria decumbens grass. Eighteen parcels established with B. decumbens were used. For each treatment, T1: 45, T2: 60 and T3: 75 (cut days), the chemical composition, rumen degradation, digestibility, pH, ammonia, volatile fatty acids (VFA) and gas production were analyzed. It was observed higher (P <0.05) effective degradation (58%; 0.02 k, 45%; 0.05 k and 38%; 0.08 k) and apparent digestibility (57%) at 45 days of cut. The ruminal pH was maintained between 6.99 to 7.51 from 6 h to 24 h post incubation between the different cut ages (P <0.05). With respect to NH3-N it was higher at 45 and 60 days (27.3 and 25.6 mg/L respectively). The VFA did not show differences between the treatments evaluated (P> 0.05). The lowest (P = 0.0001) gas production was observed in the B. decumbens cut at 45 days (T1). It can be concluded that the best age for grazing of B. decumbens can be between 45 and 60 days of regrowth.

Background: Sows’ lifetime reproductive performance is a key component for farm productive efficiency and profitability.  Objective: To investigate associations between first parity wean-to-service interval (WSI) and sows’ lifetime reproductive performance traits. Methodology: Data were collected in a 3,900-sows farrow-to-finish farm in Yucatan, Mexico. Lifetime productivity records included parity number at culling (NCP), lifetime number piglets born alive (LNBA) from parity two until culling, lifetime non-productive days (LNPD) and length of productive life (LPL) for 4,175 sows. Association between WSI and sow lifetime productivity traits were analyzed using general linear models, including year and season at first service as categorical fixed effects and WSI as linear and quadratic predictor. Cut-off values for WSI were estimated using regression trees analysis. Results: WSI was negatively associated (P < 0.05) with LNBA and NCP, positively (P < .05) with LNPD and non-associated with LPL (P > 0.05). Cut-off values for WSI varied for each predicted variable: WSI > 5 days would translate into longer 13 more days of LPL, WSI < 7 days would increase LNBA by two extra pigs, WSI ≥ 9 days increase NCP by 0.2 parities and WSI <10 days would mean 24 fewer LNPD. Conclusions: Under the conditions of this study, shorter WSI were associated with improved lifetime productivity traits, confirming the importance of traits observed early in life as indicators of performance in subsequent parities.
SUSTAINABILITY IN RURAL AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS BASED ON THE UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Botero-Posada Simón Andrés , Álvarez - Del Castillo Xavier , Rios-Osorio Leonardo Alberto
Published: May 2023

Background. Rural agri-food systems are responsible for the production of most of the food products consumed in urban centers, however, despite the current importance they have in the food systems of populations worldwide, their structure and functioning, both key aspects for understanding its sustainability, have not been studied enough. Objective. This study was aimed at describing the conditions associated to agri-food systems sustainability in rural communities based on the understanding of their structural and functional elements, through a systematic review of scientific literature. Methodology. A comprehensive search for original papers in three different databases, ScienceDirect, Scopus and PubMed, was carried out, filtering the results based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and subsequently adding grey literature. Results. Our findings indicate that sustainability in these agri-food systems relies on socioecological interrelations, whose environmental and sociocultural aspects are more relevant than the principles of the market economy, which become a menace for these systems. One of our most relevant findings is the essential role of distribution networks for ensuring sustainability. Implications: It is necessary to assess the different categories defined in agri-food systems in order to define in indigenous and rural communities the adjustments they require to achieve sustainability. Conclusions. Rural agri-food systems behave as complex, adaptive systems, conditioned by the multiple factors and dimensions of their biophysical, sociocultural, and political environment, as well as by the role of gender in their functioning.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore the distribution characteristics of different grammatical metaphor types in different types of knowledge. Six textbooks of geophysics, writing, geography, management, biochemistry, and history were selected as samples to build their own electronic textbook corpus, and by means of word suffix search and related word form search, it was found that: (1) there are certain distribution characteristics of grammatical metaphor usage types in subject textbooks of different knowledge types. Experiential grammatical metaphors are all used most frequently; interpersonal grammatical metaphors are used more than logical grammatical metaphors in the process of constructing technical knowledge; logical grammatical metaphors are used more than interpersonal grammatical metaphors in the process of constructing educational or daily knowledge. (2) The hierarchical nature of the representation, presentation, and organization of knowledge differs among knowledge types and it is inferred that technical knowledge is highest hierarchy knowledge type. This study also has some implications for the development and evaluation of teaching materials.

How Important is Microfinance to Small Business Development? the Case of Nigeria
Authors: Odiche Williams
Published: May 2023

Small businesses play a significant role in national development all around the globe. This is explained by the significant amount of employment they generate and the goods and service they render. As such, there financing is of utmost importance. Academics and practitioners have begun to question the implication of microfinance on small business development. An observable sample for this study is the Nigerian economy. The Nigerian government created microfinance banks in 1992 as a community scheme to act as mechanisms for financing sources for diverse small businesses because of the prominence given to this crucial industry. This study therefore investigated empirically if microfinance banks have had the intended effect on small business development. Utilizing secondary data obtained from the Central bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin over the course of the years 1992 to 2021 in Nigeria, the study employed analytical techniques like the unit root test, cointegration, and error correction model in conjunction with other diagnostic tests. The study concludes that microfinance positively and significantly relates with the growth of small businesses in Nigeria, while interest rate had a negative and insignificant influence on small businesses in Nigeria. The study recommends that, microfinance banks should encourage its appropriation of local borrowing in order to increase the country's productive supremacy and remove negative bottlenecks of low-income earners accessing the loan. The interest rate of these loans are exorbitant and needs to be reduced significantly to enable small businesses survive and ensure easy repayment of microcredits.

Vaccination in pregnancy is the best strategy to reduce complications from influenza or pertussis infection in infants who are too young to be protected directly from vaccination. Pregnant women are also at risk of influenza complications preventable through antenatal vaccination. Both vaccines are funded under the National Immunisation Program for pregnant women in Australia, but coverage is not routinely reported nationally.

We reviewed all reported Australian maternal influenza and pertussis vaccine coverage data for the period 2016–2021, to identify gaps and information needs.

Maternal influenza vaccine coverage was suboptimal at < 58% for 2016–2018, with higher coverage of 62–75% reported in two states (Victoria and Western Australia) for 2019–2021. Maternal pertussis vaccine coverage from 2016 was generally higher than for influenza at > 70%, with the highest jurisdictional coverage of 89% reported in Western Australia in 2020.

Vaccination rates were often suboptimal among First Nations pregnant women and up to 20% lower than among non‐First Nations Australian women; while data were limited, coverage was low among culturally and linguistically diverse women and among women of lower socio‐economic status.

Jurisdictional perinatal data collections were the best source of information on antenatal vaccine coverage but were only available for a minority of the population; a nationally consistent systematic approach is lacking.

Timely and comprehensive data are needed to provide feedback to improve maternal vaccination coverage, particularly among groups with higher risk and/or low uptake, and as new vaccines are recommended, including COVID‐19 vaccination.

"Zy-4 alloy is a basic material in the construction of the current generation nuclear reactors. Due to the diffusion processes and the chemical reactions that take place, the corrosion in air at high temperatures of the zircaloy-4 alloy determines the appearance of new phases and constituents and the stabilization of the alpha phase at high temperatures, above the allotropic transformation temperature. The paper presents the structural transformations that take place in the alloy following the oxidation under thermal shocks applied in the range 600-1500 ° C, in correlation with the chemical composition, hardness and thermal transfer properties.
