The role of livestock in organic nutrient management por Dijkman, J.

“…The implementation of this type of strategies, however, will depend on the utilization of methodologies that would enable both researchers and Development workers to approach the issues in a dynamic, integrated and system-oriented manner. Moreover, there is also a clear need to improve the delivery of research results to extension workers and their client-farmers, and particularly for materials and methodologies that reduce the complexity, of these interactions and which would allow farmers to take a more active part in the evaluation of alternative strategies.…”

Use of Near Infra Red Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) to profile fatty acids of feeds and forages por Prasad, Kodukula V.S.V., Ramakrishna Reddy, C., Ramana Reddy, Y., Varijakshapanicker, Padmakumar, Blümmel, Michael

“…100 food/feed and forage samples were analyzed by gas liquid chromotography for their fatty acid content and the data were used to develop NIRS calibration models and standardization for prediction of fatty acid content in different feedstuffs in a rapid, non-destructive and inexpensive manner. The coefficient of determination (R2) value for calibration and validation of saturated, trans, unsaturated, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids ranged between 0.56-1.0 and 0.59-0.95, respectively indicating that NIRS can be used for fatty acid profiling of different feeds with moderate (trans fatty acids) to high (saturated, unsaturated, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids) accuracy.…”

Private-Sector Perceptions of Public Agricultural Research: A Case Study in Costa Rica por Hartwich, Frank, Blank, Daniel, von Oppen, M.

“…If public research organizations are to form effective partnerships with private companies with regard to technological innovation, they must be more proactive in providing service and show that they are capable of responding to companies' demands, with relevant results in a timely manner, under agreed ownership arrangements. However, forming such partnerships should not become an overriding aim: public research organizations should only consider collaborating with, and rendering services to, private institutions when to do so is compatible with the public interest.…”
