Characteristics of smallholder farm households in Upper Egypt: Implications for nutrition-sensitive agricultural interventions por El-Enbaby, Hoda, Ecker, Olivier, Figueroa, Jose Luis, Leroy, Jef L., Breisinger, Clemens

“…The importance of focusing on nutrition is underlined by relatively high undernutrition and overnutrition rates among the surveyed farm households: almost 18 percent of children under five years of age are stunted and almost 25 percent of them are at risk of being overweight. Agricultural interventions can impact nutrition through six main pathways, which are: 1) providing direct access to food from own production; 2) providing a source of income from which food and other nutrition needs can be met; 3) affecting food prices; 4) affecting women’s social status and empowerment; 5) affecting women’s time use from participation in agricultural work; and 6) affecting women’s health and nutrition from engagement in agricultural activities. …”

Feeding practices and growth among young children during two seasons in rural Ethiopia por Wondafrash, Mekitie, Huybregts, Lieven, Lachat, Carl, Bouckaert, Kimberly P., Kolsteren, Patrick

“…ICFI and DDS were not associated with mean LAZ, weight-for-height z-score and weight-for-age z-score within season. However, the odds of being stunted when having a DDS ≤ 2 was 2.3 times (95% CI: 1.10, 4.78; P = 0.03) higher compared to a DDS > 2 child in HS and 1.7 times (95% CI: 1.04, 2.71; P = 0.04) higher for the pooled sample of 6–12 months old children in HS and PHS. …”

Mechanisms behind high N2O emissions from livestock enclosures in Kenya revealed by dual-isotope and functional gene analyses por Xiantao Fang, Harris, S.J., Leitner, Sonja, Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus, Conz, R.F., Merbold, Lutz, Dannenmann, M., Oyugi, A., Shuwei Liu, Jianwen Zou, Six, Johan, Barthel, M.

“…The abundances of denitrification-related genes (nirK and narG) were significantly higher than those of nitrification-related genes (amoA: AOA and AOB) in the cattle manure samples taken from the bomas, corroborating N2O emissions largely being attributed to denitrification. Significant abundance of the reduction-related gene (nosZ) also corroborated the high potential for microbial N2O reduction in bomas. …”

Effects of bacteriocin-producing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on bacterial community and fermentation profile of whole-plant corn silage and its in vitro ruminal fermentation, mic... por Ziqian Li, Usman, S., Jiayao Zhang, Yixin Zhang, Su, R., Hu Chen, Qiang Li, Mengya Jia, Amole, Tunde A., Xusheng Guo

“…Conclusions Both class IIa bacteriocin-producing L. plantarum strains improved the fermentation quality of whole-plant corn silage by regulating the bacterial community composition during ensiling, with CICC24194 being the most effective. Both bacteriocin-producing strains mitigated CH4 production and improved digestibility by modulating the interactions among rumen bacteria, protozoa, methanogens, and the composition of fibrolytic bacteria.…”
