The role of non-timber forest products in the rural economy and their quantitative assessment in the Aravali mountain range of India
Rajasthan, the largest state in India, has about 5% of the Indian population, but supports the highest cattle and livestock population. The pressure on the state's forests for the collection of fuel wood, fodder and other Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) is, therefore, very severe. A study was undertaken during 2006?2008 to assess the quantum of availability of NTFPs in the three largest forest ...

Considerations on the importance of nutrition habits for the national nitrogen balance of Austria
The anthropogenic nitrogen turnover of Western societies is highly unbalanced. As a consequence, a permanent supply of nitrogen via mineral fertiliser (produced with high energy inputs) and/or imported fodder are required and result in significant impacts of nitrogen emissions on the environment (air, water, soil). Key factors to an improved nitrogen balance on a national scale are the nutrition ...

Side-band injection of acidified cattle slurry as starter P-fertilization for maize seedlings
Abstract Accumulation of phosphorus (P) in agricultural soils has caused increasing environmental concerns. Maize cropped for fodder implies return of animal manures rich in nutrients. In addition, starter fertilization with mineral P is used in cold conditions for maize cropping. It was hypothesized that the use of the additional mineral P could be excluded by increased availability of the P ...

Soil salinity and exchangeable cations in a wastewater irrigated area, India
Received for publication May 29, 2008. The salinity and cation composition of water and soil were documented in a large (98 km2) wastewater-irrigated area (WIA) downstream of Hyderabad, India. The wastewater, which flows in a river that passes through the city, had a high to very high salinity hazard (EC = 1.1–3.0 dS m–1) that increased with distance from the city. The EC of soil irrigated by ...

Making Animal Feed Pellets From Hay
Hay refers to dried grass used as livestock fodder. It is fed to especially pasturing animals, for instance, sheep, goats, horses and cattle when grazing is unobtainable due to harsh climatic conditions. Pellets are renewable organic matter made from compressed hay and other biomass, pellets are used to balance the nutrition for grazing animals. Also, the pellets are very nutritious and easy to ...

How to choose a high quality fish feed pellet machine
Compared to ordinary complete formula feed pellets, extruded feed pellets have the following advantages: The quality of feed is improved. Because protein is combined with starch matrix, it is not easy to lose when feeding. Only when the digestive enzyme decomposes starch, can it release the protein and improve the protein potency. Secondly, the extrusion combines fat and starch into a composite ...

Community involvement with forest management can boost biodiversity
Forests can act as carbon sinks and help counteract climate change. A study of forestry practices in India shows that involving local communities in conservation efforts can boost the biodiversity and stability of forest ecosystems. Community-based forest management policies may therefore represent valid carbon mitigation strategies. The EU aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by more than ...

How To Produce Fish Feed Pellets With A Proper Density
Fish digestive system is very short and that is why fish feed must be light. Both dimensions and shape of fish feed pellets must be adjusted to size of fish. Besides, in water pellets must behave according to habits of fish: sink or float on surface of water. And this feature of feed depends on pellet density. Fusmar fish feed mill machine can make kinds of pellets. Kinds Of Feed Pellets For ...
