Cargill sells 32,000 tonnes of Indian wheat to Indonesia Agribusiness major Cargill Inc sold nearly 32,000 tonnes of Indian wheat to Indonesia's Bogasari flour mills in the first large shipment of the grain to Asia in at least seven years.

The ship carrying Indian wheat from the western port of Kandla arrived at Indonesia's Tanjung Priok port in July.

Rising prices all over the world have made shipments from Australia, the United States and Canada expensive paving the demand for Asian buyers looking to buy Indian wheat.

India lifted a ban on wheat exports in September 2011 and has been selling smaller cargoes in containers to Asia since then but this is the first bulk export since at least 2005. India imposed a formal ban on exports in 2007.

Bayer enforces its Nativo™ in Vietnam BAYER HAS ENFORCED its Nativo trademark against Viet Duc Ltd. in Tan Hiep Town, Vietnam. Under their own trademark Natido, Viet Duc sold crop protection products which looked similar to Bayer CropScience’s Nativo™ rice fungicide.

Bayer said in a statement that the infringed products have to be withdrawn from the market. Viet Duc is no longer allowed to use the Natido brand name, and was sentenced to a fine.

"Nativo™ is a strong brand in Vietnam, and our customers associate our brand with high quality," Torsten Velden, Bayer CropScience country head for Vietnam pointed out.

In February 2012, Bayer requested the Vietnam Intellectual Property Institute (VIPRI) to examine whether the marketing of Natido infringed its trademark Nativo™. After a positive VIPRI conclusion, Bayer filed a petition with Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) to enforce and settle VIPRI’s decision.

Agenda

Food Outlook THE FOOD AND Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) Food Price Index climbed 6 per cent in July 2012 after a continous three month’s of decline.

The Index, which measures the monthly change in the international prices of a basket of food commodities, averaged 213 points, up 12 points from June.

That was still well below the peak of 238 points reached in February 2011, however.

The Food Price Index's sharp rebound was mostly driven by a surge in grain and sugar prices.

International prices of meat and dairy products were little changed.

The FAO Cereal Price Index averaged 260 points in July, up 17 per cent, or 38 points, from June. That was 14 points below its all-time high of 274 points in April 2008.

The severe deterioration of maize crop prospects in the United States following extensive drought damage pushed up maize

prices by almost 23 per cent in July.

International wheat quotations also surged 19 per cent amid worsened production prospects in the Russian Federation and expectations of firm demand for wheat as feed because of tight maize supplies.

However, international rice prices remained mostly unchanged in July, with the FAO overall Rice Price index stable at 238, barely one point above June.

July also saw a sharp increase in the FAO Sugar Price Index, which leaped 12 per cent, or 34 points, from June to a new level of 324 points.

The upturn, ending a steady fall since March, was mainly triggered by untimely rains in Brazil, the world's largest sugar exporter, which hampered sugarcane harvesting. Concerns over India's delayed monsoon and poor rains in Australia also contributed.

In contrast, the Food and Agriculture

Organization’s Meat Price Index averaged 168 points in July, down 1.7 per cent, or three points from June and the third consecutive monthly fall. Market weakness characterised the four major meat sectors, in particular pigmeat, which saw prices fall by 3.6 per cent.

Dairy prices averaged 173 points in July, unchanged from June, after five straight months of decline.

EU, Japan join forces to fight illegal and unregulated fishing THE EUROPEAN UNION and Japan have collaborated in the fight against Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing.

A joint statement to this end was recently signed in Tokyo by Maria Damanaki, European Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and Akira Gunji, Japan’s minister of agriculture, forestry and fisheries. European Union and Japan rank first and second, respectively, as the world’s top seafood importers. They have now agreed that the seafood they import will not be caught illegally.

Globally, IUU fishing deprives fishermen and coastal communities of up to US$23bn worth of seafood and seafood products annually. IUU fishing also threatens sustainability of fish stocks.

With the agreement, the EU and Japan commit themselves to work together on the most effective tools to combat illegal fishing. As parties to regional fishery management organisations and to various international treaties, they will work towards strengthening monitoring and enforcement of management

measures. They will also use the available means to prevent IUU operators from profiting from their illegal activities.

The agreement commits its parties to systematically exchange information on IUU activities and promote, in regional fishery management organisations they belong to, management measures that strengthen control, monitoring and enforcement on vessels operating within given areas.

As part of the agreement, the parties will also encourage other countries to ratify and implement the Port State Measures Agreement of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s Committee on Fisheries and promote the sustainable use of fisheries resources while preserving marine biodiversity.

A similar statement was signed by the EU and the United States in September last year.

"Illegal fishing is a criminal activity. Europe is committed to fight it and we have been building alliances worldwide,” said Commissioner Damanaki. “The agreement with Japan will help us enforce the rules, and it moves us closer to clearing our seas of dishonest fishermen."

The EU and Japan have already put in place a number of legal measures to combat IUU fishing, such as the EU's IUU regulation. Both are active in international fishery management organisations and promote international instruments to address IUU fishing.

Mercy Corps offers ‘toolkit’ of mobile banking services to farmers THE GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN agency Mercy Corps launched a multi-country programme that will use mobile technologies to give farmers in the developing world a package of services to increase their harvests.

The Agri-Fin Mobile initiative – in partnership with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) – will identify and connect leading financial institutions, agriculture specialists and mobile network operators and provide mobileenabled, bundled packages of financial, training and information services to more than 180,000 smallscale farmers. Agri-Fin Mobile will launch in Indonesia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, with the aim to expand to an additional five countries after this first three-year phase.

Agri-Fin Mobile will provide participating farmers with ‘bundled’ support via mobile phone, integrating locally-appropriate financial services, market information and agricultural expertise.

Working with local partners, Agri-Fin Mobile will support the design of and launch a commercially sustainable, affordable toolkit of services for farmers.

This comprehensive set of services will allow smallscale farmers to grow and sell more crops, boosting the food security of struggling rural areas and

enhancing the economic prospects of farming families. Farmers will also be able to access remote training on topics like pest and disease prevention and managing weather patterns.

“In Africa, agricultural output is 56 per cent below the world's average,” said Lesley Denyes, programme director of Mercy Corps’ Agri-Fin Mobile initiative. “With AgriFin Mobile we want to give small-scale, low-income farmers access to resources and services that have traditionally been beyond their reach. Bundling services together makes essentials like crop expertise, loans, insurance and market information affordable, and providing them by mobile allows far greater reach and scale.

“This initiative has the potential to bring about significant change for farmers and their families.

We’re committed to developing a proven business model for boosting agricultural productivity that can be replicated around the world.”

Mercy Corps will work with a network of local financial institutions, mobile operators and other agricultural industry stakeholders to implement Agri-Fin. Together they will work closely to evaluate adoption of the services, impact of products and of the program on participants’ yields and incomes.

Pierre-André Cordey of SDC said, “We see this

Mercy Corps launched a multi-country programme that will use mobile technologies to give farmers a package of services to increase their harvests

initiative as a great opportunity to reach an impact at scale through innovative partnerships between financial institutions, mobile operators and agricultural service providers. The key to success will be ensuring that smallholders’ demands and interests remain at the centre of the project, and we are confident that together we and our partners at Mercy Corps will prove up to the challenge.”

Arysta, Intermag ink pact for biostimulant technology ARYSTA LIFESCIENCE AND Intermag have signed a licensing agreement whereby Arysta LifeScience has been granted access to all formulations of Intermag’s proprietary titanimum-based biostimulant technology.

The agreement is exclusive for territories outside of Europe where Japanese crop protection and life science company Arysta LifeScience has market access, and non-exclusive for certain countries within Europe (excluding Poland and Slovakia). Intermag, the plant nutrient company based in Olkusz, Poland markets the product in nine countries in Europe under the tradename Tytanit.

Tytanit is a biostimulant based on novel titanium technology that stimulates photosynthesis, improving crop yield and quality. It also increases flower pollination and nutrient uptake from a low-use-rate liquid formulation that has shown consistent performance in countries where the product has already been launched.

“Tytanit will complement the Arysta LifeScience range of products and will be focused on crops and outputs where we need to build our offering to customers,” said Adam Slowinski, product manager, biostimulants and value-added plant nutrients Europe, Arysta LifeScience.

Arysta LifeScience said they will focus on developing the product for use in key row crops (maize, potatoes, cereals, oilseed rape, sugar cane and rice). The first Arysta LifeScience sales of Tytanit sales are expected in 2014.

THE UNITED NATIONS UNIDO and ASEAN organise workshop to strengthen food supply capacity Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat held a workshop in Jakarta, Indonesia to strengthen food supply capacity and address post-harvest losses in ASEAN countries.

The two-day workshop titled ‘Post-Harvest Losses of Main Commodities in ASEAN Countries’ aimed to support the endeavors of the governments of ASEAN member-states to strengthen the supply capacity of the main food commodities produced and processed in the region.

The workshop revealed that huge post-harvest losses were due to limited attention given to the constraints of farm inputs, food preservation and distribution, mechanisation, productivity, processing, packaging, handling, storage and marketing infrastructure.

The workshop reported studies indicating that post-harvest losses vary from 35 to 50 per cent of the total production, which is equivalent to over 100 million tonnes of food lost per year. In Asia, post-harvest losses are estimated at around 30 per cent or US$5 billion a year.

Among those who presented reports were country representatives from ASEAN member-states and UNIDO experts.

USGC North China tour shows demand for corn more than 2011

World fisheries production valued at US$218 billion in latest year

CORN PRODUCTION IN North China is projected to be about 3.5mn metric tonnes greater than last year provided weather conditions remain favorable, according to conclusions reached following industry crop tours coordinated by the US Grains Council's office in Beijing.

The anticipated increase in North China, along with a 2-4 million tonne increase in Northeast China and a 1-2 million tonne increase in other growing regions, adds up to an anticipated 6-10 million tonne increase overall in China this year compared to last, said Bryan Lohmar, USGC director in China.

"While China's corn crop looks good, there may be greater demand for corn since the country's winter wheat crop was adveresly affected by disease and poor weather," Lohmar said. "This may result in less wheat being used in place of corn in animal feed, which may create additional demand for corn."

The crop tours were conducted from July 9-13 and officials visited Henan, Shandong and Hebei provinces, where roughly 30 per cent of China's corn is produced.

CAPTURE FISHERIES AND aquaculture produced about 148 million tonnes of fish valued at US$218bn in 2010, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said recently.

At the same time, the FAO said global trade in fish and other aquatic animals reached a record US$109bn in 2010 and is estimated to have grown further to US$125bn last year.

"Following a drop in 2009, world trade in fish and fishery products has resumed its upward trend driven by sustained demand, trade liberalisation policies, globalisation of food systems and technological innovations," a statement stated.

FAO director general José Graziano da Silva noted that livelihoods of 12 per cent of the world's population depend directly or indirectly on fisheries.

"Fisheries and aquaculture give an important contribution to food security and nutrition. They are the primary source of protein for 17 per cent of the world's population and nearly a quarter in lowincome food-deficit countries," he said. Árni Mathiesen, head of the FAO's Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, nevertheless warned that fisheries and aquaculture faced “an array of problems” including poor governance and weak fisheries management regimes.

Other problems include conflicts over the natural resource use, poor practices, failure to incorporate the priorities and rights of small-scale fishing communities.

The FAO said ineffective management and poor conservation of habitats were the primary threats undermining the food and nutrition security potential of fisheries and aquaculture.

"Enabling fisheries and aquaculture to flourish responsibly and sustainably requires the full involvement of civil society and the private sector," Mathiesen said.

Hosted by Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture, nearly 470 companies from 40 countries including Indonesia and the ASEAN region participated in the seventh edition of the expo. More than 11,000 visitors attended the exhibition over the three days.

The livestock exhibition was officially opened by Banun Harpini, acting director-general, marketing and processing of agriculture product at Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture.

"Four countries and regions namely China, Singapore, Indonesia and Europe set up their own pavilion during the event," said Herman Wiriadipoera, president director of PT Napindo Media Ashatama.

"Like every year, since the inception of the programme in 2008, we have focused on the community at large and the consumer’s need to buy nutritious food. This year, the response from exhibitors has been better than last year. Infact, this has been the largest turnout in the history of the event.”

PT Napindo Media Ashatama, the organiser of the feed, dairy and livestock industry show, organised a number of activities such as seminars, workshops and dialogues. More than 100 technical product presentations were also given during the event to inform visitors about the products of the exhibitors.

The faculty of animal science department of Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) presented a seminar on the livestock industry titled ‘Empowering local resources for sustainable animal production in adapting to climate change’.

Other discussions included ‘Assuring Food Safety and Animal Origin Products’, a workshop on local poultry by the Poultry Science

I

Association and Livestock Research and Development Centre, ‘Socialisation for Licensing for Inflowing and Expenditures Livestock and Livestock Products’ by the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture, and ‘Socialisation of Animal Quarantine Policy’ by the Quarantine Agency, Ministry of Agriculture.

Shows on nutrition, a cooking demonstration and competitions were organised to make the event more engaging.

The exhibition was arranged in conjunction with the exhibition of the animal feed industry (Indo Feed Expo & Forum), the dairy industry (Indo Dairy Expo and Forum) and the fish farming industry (Indo Fisheries Expo & Forum).

PT Napindo Media Ashatama has also been organising the ‘SDTI campaign’ since 2008 alongwith the expo. The campaign focuses on malnutrition in the community and the importance of animal protein consumption.

Indo Livestock 2013 Expo & Forum will be held at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center. “Bali is considered as the epicentre of industry, commerce and tourism in the region. It has potential in the development of the Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) Industry,” according to the organisers of the event. n

Sustainable Agriculture summit focuses on food security

Palm Oil 2012 dwells on plantation business challenges

THE WORLD SUSTAINABLE Agriculture Congress held in Singapore recently, gave a platform for the entire food value chain, including those related to agribusiness and farming, food manufacturers, NGOs, academicians and policy makers. The event discussed the challenges and solutions needed to achieve sustainable agriculture for future food security.

The Congress explored ideas, strategies, partnerships and CSR initiatives to ensure food security, business sustainability and longterm profitability.

Successful case studies, lessons learned and best practices were shared by key speakers from across the world. Cutting-edge technologies such as seed and agricultural biotechnology, crop protection, soil enhancements, farming machinery, water management and information systems were also featured at the event.

Associate sponsor for the event, New Holland Agriculture also gave a presentation at the conference on the second day, opening the session on ‘Next Generation Crop Technologies for Sustainable Agricultural Production’. During the presentation, Gaurav Sood, head of Crop Solutions at New Holland Fiat India, debated on the latest farming technologies and ecosystem-based approaches to land use and growing trends in farm mechanisation among other topics.

THE 4TH PALM Oil Summit, hosted in Bali recently, provided a comprehensive overview of the palm oil market, plantation business challenges and opportunities, advances in high-yield materials, new solutions for ganoderma, and downstream market growth.

The versatility of palm oil as ideal feedstock, especially in industries like food, biofuels and oleochemicals, has resulted in hefty investments by palm oil giants in countries conducive for plantation and production.

Designed to encompass the crucial aspects of the palm oil plantation operations, the fourth edition of the summit delved into two main themes of ‘Sustainable Oil Palm The summit provided Plantations with improved an overview of agronomy practices’ and developments in the ‘Riding on opportunities in market Indonesia’s flourishing downstream activities’.

Experts shed light on topics like plantation expansion considering biodiversity conservation and opportunities in REDD, high yielding planting materials, ganoderma or nutrient management and potential opportunities in Myanmar and Africa.

The summit also featured detailed country-focused presentations on market trends and expansion opportunities in oil palm plantations across Thailand, India, Myanmar, Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia, in addition to sessions targeted at innovative solutions for ganoderma control.

Energy costs of spray drying stressed at IDF-INRA THE FIFTH INTERNATIONAL symposium on spray dried dairy products took place recently in France, and was the first collaboration on the topic between the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) and the International Dairy Federation (IDF).

Different uses of current technologies can help reduce energy costs of spray drying of dairy products and enhance functional properties of dairy powders, said IDF and INRA expert Pierre Schuck.

Speakers recognised the importance of pursuing research on lactose crystallisation given the complexity of the topic due to the high amount of whey types.

The 2012 edition also featured several sessions, including an economic presentation on global trade of dairy powders, a commercial session for companies as well as a conference dedicated to nutrition and the nutritional impact of dairy powders.

Nico van Belzen, IDF director general, said, “This first IDF/INRA collaboration on spray drying dairy products is a true success. All presentations underlined the importance of spray drying in the industry’s efforts to provide safe and quality dairy products.”

such a wide range of potential feed materials available even the smallest farmers, with no previous experience of intensive poultry production and feeding, can mix and match to produce well-balanced poultry feed rations.

By adopting this strategy and using local feed materials that are readily available and cheap, in the appropriate quantity and proportion, the small producer starting out in poultry farming can make considerable savings. These can be invested later in bigger and better buildings, custom-made poultry production equipment (e.g. feeders and waterers) and, of course, pre-mixed formulated feed.

OULTRY EGG PRODUCTION spans the entire range of system from a few hens in the backyard to hundreds if not thousands of custom-bred layers in modern production units. But, what about the aspiring man or woman in the middle who wants to progressively increase his/her number of layers together with the size and sophistication of their production system?

With feed generally accounting for at least half of the cost of producing table eggs, the initial organisation and outlay for finished feed products may be just too much to contemplate due to high purchase price or unavailability in the locality.

Fortunately, poultry are very versatile creatures when it comes to feeding, and will thrive on a range of cereal grains, oilseeds and legumes as well as a whole host of by-products and waste materials from on-farm crop processing and factory food manufacture. With

required for: • Growth promotion and egg laying - proteins • Energy production – carbohydrates and lipids (fats and oils) • Maintenance of proper development and good health – minerals, and vitamins • An overall balanced metabolism – water and crude fibre Feed materials rich in carbohydrates and lipids for high-energy production include cereals, oilseeds and root crops. Cereals are the most appropriate energy-rich sources for poultry because oilseeds though offering a potentially superior source of energy (gram for gram oils and fats have twice the energy value of carbohydrates) are only digested with difficulty by birds. Oilseeds and oilseed waste will be an important component of poultry feed but must not be fed to excess.

Cereals are generally low (8-12 per cent) in crude protein but because they are used at such a high percentage in poultry diets they end up supplying a significant proportion (33-50 per cent) of all protein. But they must be supplemented with materials containing higher concentrations of crude protein and also specific essential amino acids like lysine and methionine, which are low or lacking in cereals.

Waste from oilseed processing, particularly from groundnuts and soya beans, can be used to significantly bolster protein levels while additionally supplying a high-energy lipid component.

Cereals Tropical cereals are widely available and cheap source of high-energy feed for poultry farmers.

Sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) and maize (Zea mays) have high-energy contents in the form of starch but maize has lower protein content.

Other cereals, widely grown and used for poultry feed are finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and bullrush millet (Pennisetum typhoides) and rice, (Oryza sativa).

• Sorghum – particularly valuable in drier regions where it thrives at the expense of maize.

It has a high protein content compared with many other cereals, but some varieties have high tannin content which lowers palatability to poultry. Tannins (polyphenols) combine with protein and make it indigestible. Ironically, high tannin content protects sorghum grains in the panicle from damage by wild birds. Grow low tannin types for poultry feed but make sure you have good bird scaring methods when the panicles are mature and the grain is ripening.

• Maize – has high energy content but is poor in protein and deficient in lysine and tryptophan amino acids. Modern hybrid varieties have lower protein contents than traditional open-pollinated varieties. Yellow maize fed to

Yellow maize fed to poultry helps colour egg yolks

poultry imparts a yellow tinge to the flesh and helps to colour egg yolks. It has a slightly higher protein content (10 per cent) than does white maize (8 per cent).

• Millets and rice – as with sorghum, millets are a mainstay cereal in drier regions but like sorghum are prone to heavy losses from wild birds. Bullrush millet is equivalent to maize in composition and feeding value (superior in protein) and provides an excellent constituent of poultry feed when ground up. On the down side it is prone to dry season infection by a fungus called Claviceps purpurea (Ergot disease) which produces poisonous chemicals (mycotoxins) that can harm both poultry and humans.

• Rice - is a valuable component of poultry feed because it is high in starch and low in oil, but must be de-husked first to remove the high silca content (20 per cent) in the outer coverings, which render threshed rice completely unpalatable to poultry Small grain temperate cereals like wheat, barley and oats can be grown in cooler regions but are usually imported. Wheat is particularly useful, hard varieties having protein contents up to 15 per cent. Barley is not particularly useful as poultry feed because of its higher (5 per cent) fibre content.

with whole maize grain.

• Maize bran – is the outer covering of the maize kernel. Useful but unsuitable for high producing layers because of the very high fibre (15 per cent) and low energy level.

• Wheat bran – fibre level still high at 10 per cent and this limits its inclusion rate. But higher protein level, than either whole wheat grain or maize bran, together with one of the highest phosphorous contents available in any commonly used feed material, makes it an essential and cheap component of balanced poultry diets.

• Rice bran – obtained as by-product of rice milling which is high in fibre and oil. The oil may cause rancidity problems and this together with the negative effect of high fibre on palatability means that it should not exceed one fifth of the total poultry ration.

• Brewers dried grains – usually barley or sorghum with a protein level of around 20 per cent which looks attractive, although the accompanying high fibre content of up to 15 per cent limits its real value for poultry diets.

• Dried brewer’s yeast – a superior by-product of the brewery, which is rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Dried brewer’s yeast has protein levels up to 45 per cent with a high biological value. Rich in some B Vitamins such as thiamine [B1] and riboflavin [B2] but low in B12 (cobalamin). Has a high phosphorous level.

Cereal by-products Cereal by-products have always been a cheap source of metabolisable energy for the poultry producer. While they may be lower in particular constituents, compared with whole and ground feed grain, they are invariably easier to incorporate into feed and sometimes more palatable because of the physical and chemical effects of processing.

• Hominy – by-product of the manufacture of maize comprising a mixture of maize bran, maize germ and parts kernels which has a higher protein and fibre content compared

Oilseeds, cake and meal Lipids (fats and oils) have twice the energy potential of carbohydrates (e.g. starch). Oilseeds should therefore be high on the list of poultry feed ingredients, but they must be used with care because birds have difficulty with their digestion.

The most valuable are those like soya bean (Glycine max) and groundnut (Arachis hypogea) which contain large amounts of protein as well as lipid. Indeed apart from animal protein products, soya bean is the most suitable source of protein for poultry.

FAR EASTERN AGRICULTURE Issue Four 2012

Soya bean boasts 38 per cent protein in tandem with 20 per cent oil content, but relatively low fibre, calcium and phosphorous levels. Whole groundnut, including shells, with a protein content of 25 per cent is similarly valued and comes in tandem with high fibre and high metabolisable energy value due to its 35+ per cent oil content.

Oilseeds are generally fed to poultry after processing (extraction of oil), mainly because of their superior initial value as edible oils.

The nutritive value to poultry of whole soya beans and soya bean oil meal is increased after cooking, which enhances the bioavailability and nutritional value of the protein. It also destroys trypsin inhibitor contained in the seed, which inhibits the action of protein-digesting enzymes in non-ruminants such as poultry, and thereby impedes growth and production. When properly cooked at 105°C for 60-90 minutes, whole soya bean and soya bean meal is as good as fishmeal for protein.

Groundnut is generally fed to poultry as decorticated groundnut meal having a very high (45+ per cent) protein level and a fibre content of no more than 10 per cent. For protein quality and value groundnut it is almost as good as soya, but it is prone to contamination

Sorghum has high protein content

with the aflatoxin group of mycotoxins, which can devastate the health of birds.

Cottonseed meal (Gossypium) is a valuable resource especially in the form of a cake formed during oil extraction and with lint fibres removed. Cottonseed meal is one of the richest sources of phosphorous (1 per cent), but is low in calcium. However, raw cottonseed contains a high concentration of a chemical called gossypol, which can be the cause of nutritional complications in poultry. Therefore ordinary cottonseed meal may only be fed in very limited amounts to poultry.

Farmers should never feed rations containing more than 10 per cent cottonseed meal. In addition, more than 5 per cent of ordinary cotton seed meal fed in rations to laying birds discolours the yolks which develop a green/brown colour in storage, while the egg albumen assumes a pink colouration.

Sunflower seed meal (Helianthus) is equally useful, very rich in fibre, extremely palatable for poultry and stores well, although prone to loss of lysine when overheated.

Root crops Root crops with their rich starch content are the most under-exploited source of metabolisable energy for poultry. Cassava or tapioca (Manihot esculenta) has been called the famine reserve crop.

But as with cotton, cassava contains a chemical that may do considerable damage to poultry if fed in the ‘raw’ condition. The offending chemicals are cyano-glucosides, which give off highly poisonous hydrocyanic acid when the cassava roots are cut and exposed to the air. The safe way for this root crop to be fed to poultry involves cutting the tubers into thin slices and drying in the sun before milling into a ‘meal’.

Other root crops like sweet potato (Ipomea

Cereals are energy-rich sources for poultry

batatus), Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum) and yam (Dioscorea) are suitable for poultry feed but are more valuable for direct consumption.

Vitamins and minerals Poultry require a full complement of vitamins and minerals, the detailed sources of which are beyond the scope of this particular article. Suffice to say that most are provided at adequate levels if the birds are offered a wide and balanced variety of feed materials. Specific shortages of calcium can be satisfied using ground up shells of mussels and other related marine and freshwater shellfish. Palm oil meal and cake are excellent sources of carotene, the precursor of Vitamin A. Free-range (backyard) birds obtain many minerals and vitamins from eating small amounts of specific wild plants. Farmers should observe the foraging activities of free-range poultry and make a note of those wild and garden plants that are eaten. Samples of these can then be offered to birds kept in enclosures or poultry houses, to vary their diet and provide specific vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins A and K and iron that are normally obtained from green plant material. n Dr. Terry Mabbett

Counteracting trichothecenes in animal feed NFECTION OF AGRICULTURAL commodities by different fungal species is of increasing concern as in the following mycotoxins may be produced. These toxic metabolites can cause acute or chronic intoxication when ingested by higher animals, resulting in an economic impact in the industry. Of special interest are Fusariummycotoxins, which mainly infect plants on the field but growth and mycotoxins production can continue during storage. Fungal colonisation and growth and/or mycotoxin production are generally influenced by a variety of factors but the most important are temperature and water activity (available water content to a mould in a substrate). The largest group of mycotoxins comprises the trichothecenes (type A e.g.: T-2 toxin and type B e.g.: deoxynivalenol) which can contaminate commodities like corn, wheat, barley and oats.

The most abundant source of trichothecenes contamination in cereal grains today is due to Fusariumhead blight, which is primarily caused by type-B trichothecene-producers (Foroud and Eudes 2009). A survey about the occurrence of mycotoxins in agricultural in commodities, feeds and feed ingredients sourced in the Middle East and Africa was performed. In South Africa, Btrichothecenes were the main contaminant, with 87 per cent of samples tested positive at a mean contamination level of 1469 µg/kg (Rodrigues et al. 2011).

I

Toxicity Trichothecenes are potent inhibitors of eukaryotic protein synthesis; different trichothecenes interfere with initiation, elongation, and termination stages (Bennett and Klich 2003). Experimental studies with animals exposed to low dose of trichothecenes cause vomiting, diarrhea, gastroenteritis and immune dysfunction, whereas higher doses cause severe damage to the lymphoid and epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal mucosa resulting in hemorrhage, endotoxemia and shock (Pestka 2010). The most common effects of prolonged dietary exposure of

Infection of agricultural commodities can cause chronic intoxication when ingested by higher animals

experimental animals to deoxynivalenol are feed refusal, decreased weight gain, vomiting, decreased nutritional efficiency and altered immune function with species differences again being apparent (EFSA 2004, Pestka 2007).

The effects of Fusarium mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZON) on growth performance, blood chemistry, immune response and the alleviating effect of Mycofix® Plus (MPL) were investigated on 48 weaning piglets(Cheng et al. 2006). Only 49 per cent of the chemotactic activity was found in the DON and ZON challenged group in comparison to the Control group. The addition of Mycofix® Plus (0.15 per cent) improved the ability of chemotaxis and phagocytosis, to a level similar to the control group (Table 1).

Counteraction Contamination of agricultural products with mycotoxins occurs despite the most strenuous efforts of prevention. Adsorbent agents (binders) arbe added to the feed and bind mycotoxins during digestion in the gastrointestinal tract resulting in a reduction of

toxin bioavailability. Mycotoxins vary in their structure therefore adsorption (simple binding by clay, mineral, yeast cell wall binders as commonly found in the market) offers only a very limited solution to the problem of mycotoxins (e.g. aflatoxins,). Other less- or non adsorbable mycotoxins like trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol...) need to be counteracted by a different approach. Biotransformation stands for the conversion of mycotoxins into non-toxic metabolites by the action of enzymes or life microbes. It is known for years that some microorganisms are able to degrade some mycotoxins. However, only certain microorganisms have the potential to degrade trichothecenes (e.g.: deoxynivalenol), ochratoxin A and zearalenone and meet the prerequisites for use as animal feed additives.

Mycofix® gathers adsorption, biotransformation and bioprotection (plant and algae extracts for immune- and hepatoprotection) in one product – the most complete tool for an effective Mycotoxin Risk Management! n Karin Naehrer, Biomin

JSR delivers nearly 900 breeding pigs to China NEARLY 900 HIGH genetic merit breeding pigs have been flown to China in a 747 specially chartered by UK-based pig genetics company JSR Genetics.

The animals were on route to Hubei Jinxu JSR Breeding Limited, the joint venture between JSR and Chinese pig The delivery will help establish new producers Hubei COFCo, to create markets by using the Geneconverter a brand new nucleus herd.

700 boar to increase carcase yields The animals are the latest major consignment of JSR pigs sent to China and follow a delivery in March 2011 of over 800 JSR Genepacker GGP Gilts and JSR Geneconverter GGP Boars to stock a new breeding nucleus farm with the Guangzhou Animal Husbandry Company (GZAH), based in Guangzhou province.

This latest delivery of 885 animals for Hubei Jinxu JSR comprises JSR Genepacker one and two dam lines and JSR Geneconverter 500 and 700 sire lines. It will enable the nucleus herd to breed not only Genepacker 90 gilts – known for their consistent lifetime performance – but establish new markets by using the Geneconverter 700 boar to increase carcase yields.

“We were able to quickly load and unload 28 double-decker pallets that we could then despatch onto lorries straight to the new nucleus farm,” said Darren Farnsworth, JSR’s export co-ordinator.

Feed additive aids bacterial inhibition CHEMICALS COMPANY PERSTORP’S feed additive ProPhorce™ PH is the result of many years of research into the antibacterial effect of the combination of organic acids and essential oils.

This unique combination provides a cost effective acidification and a strongly enhanced antibacterial effect at a pH level of 6-7 (crop and duodenum).

ProPhorce™ PH can be used for different purposes, either via the feed or drinking water. It provides antibacterial acidification of the feed for the younger animal, as well as economical acidification of the feed for the older animal. It also provides cost-effective inhibition of harmful bacteria such as clostridium, campylobacter, salmonella and E.Coli.

New feeders for broilers and female breeders launched ITALY-BASED POULTRY EQUIPMENT manufacturer SKA has launched its new pan feeder EOS for broilers. The new feeder is designed for the broiler industry and is entirely made of polypropylene, a material that has considerable mechanical strength and resistance to wear and tear.

EOS provides easy access to feed since day one due to a 55 mm pan, and centralised feed adjustment via manual winch and an innovative system of rotating windows.

The main feature of this feeder is the center bell, which reduces the opening area, thus preventing the chicks from getting inside, so there is no waste, the feed stays clean and there is no risk of the chicks getting stuck.

The wings placed around the bell divide the animals equally around the pan.

The new Vega has been designed to feed 16 female breeder birds from any of the current genetics lines.

The top cover of the Vega has several holes to make feed visible, while the shape of the side openings allows female breeders easy access to feed, without getting accidentally hurt and at the same time eliminating any wastage.

The width and height of the slots are fully adjustable with a simple operation, preventing male breeders from eating from the Vega. The pan itself has been designed to equally divide the animals around it, with deeper slots in front of each opening, and with a central cone that reduces the quantity of feed in the drop tube.

The feed level can be set on three different levels, an operation that can be done anytime during the cycle.

The drop tube, in two pieces that can be taken apart, is securely fastened to the pipe by an internal clip, stopping rotation.

Ultrabond mycotoxin binder launched MYCOTOXIN BINDER ULTRABOND has been launched by UK-based animal nutrition company Optivite. Ultrabond has high binding ability not only against the most common mycotoxins but also the most dangerous.

Mycotoxin binders help prevent them from being absorbed through the Ultrabond has high binding ability against mycotoxins gut and into the blood circulation.

Mycotoxin binders are especially effective when feeds and feedstuffs cannot be checked on a regular basis and other preventative methods have failed.

Ultrabond has a dual-action activity, which involves a combination of immune-supportive agents that empower the hepatic detox processes, by aiding health and liver function, together with an optimum balance of aluminosilicates - the surface area and structure of which maximise the absorption and retention of mycotoxins.

Moulds and mycotoxins form in all feed materials; they are an ever present danger and can be the root cause of many animal disorders. High levels can cause acute effects including hepatitis, paralysis and death while low levels cause the greatest economic loss, chronic effects and low performance. The binders used in Ultrabond attach themselves to any mycotoxins present in the gut and carry them harmlessly out of the animal.

“Ultrabond’s dual action of physical binding and acceleration of detox in the liver helps prevent performance loss whatever the mycotoxin in the feed,” said Optivite’s director of nutrition Richard Remmer.

More fluid approach needed for plant nutrition

Foliar feeding by spraying of cucurbit crops in greenhouses

Targeting soluble nutrients by spraying or fertigation (nutrients dissolved in irrigation water) onto the foliage gives a more efficient and effective outcome LANT NUTRITION MIND-SET is still largely focussed at ground zero on the spread of solid fertiliser formulations over the soil.

Crop plant root systems are still regarded as prime points for nutrient entry but more modern fluid thinking sees the most easily and effectively targeted plant parts as those above-ground.

This is the philosophy and policy of Omex Agrifluids a research and development based company supplying soluble plant nutrients for foliar feeding to all parts of the world. “Good basal soil nutrition is essential but foliar feeding can provide useful complementary crop nutrition” said Alan

P

Lowes (regional director) and Peter Prentis (export director) at Omex Agrifluids.

Nutrients applied to the soil as solid fertilizer run the gauntlet of soil associated risks that revolve around inappropriate soil pH, other competitive/antagonistic nutrients and the lock-up potential for nutrients by specific soil fractions. Key aspects of the gauntlet run by soil applied nutrients and bypassed or overcome by foliar feeding include: • Tie-ups between nutrients like calcium, phosphates, iron and zinc.

• Excessively acid or alkaline pH soils locking up nutrients or enhancing their availability to phytotoxic levels • Leaching, volatilisation and conversion losses related to nitrogen • Competition between similar elements such as sodium-potassium, calcium-magnesium, etc.

• Fixation by clay fractions, metal oxides and anions like bicarbonates and phosphates.

A classic case quoted by Omex Agrifluids surrounds zinc locked up in naturally high alkaline soils (pH 8-9) with farmers still encouraged to keep on adding zinc to the soil. Net result is soils becoming a ‘bottomless pit’ for this essential plant micronutrient with serious economic and environmental implications.

“In such soil situations farmers must use foliar sprays to put the plant’s zinc requirement directly on the leaves. Zinc will enter the leaves unimpeded and to be rapidly used ‘on the spot’ and in its largest amount as a co-factor for enzyme actions and other metabolic functions that occur inside leaf cells,” said Alan Lowes.

Consequences of zinc lock-up in high alkaline soils shows up most readily in crops like citrus which have a high zinc requirement. On the other hand, excessively acid soils approaching pH 5.0 may increase the amounts of root-available zinc to phytotoxic levels. Zinc plays an important role in plant adaptation to stress.

Targeting soluble nutrients by spraying or fertigation (nutrients dissolved in irrigation water) onto the foliage gives an altogether more efficient and effective outcome. Nutrient(s) are deposited on the foliage where the single-cell layer of leaf epidermis and any associated waxy coverings (cuticle and wax bloom) is the only barrier to rapid entry and prompt utilisation in the leaf tissues.

Nutrients are retained on the leaf surface as droplets of solution (and later as a dried deposit) before entering the foliage (leaves and green stems). These chlorophyll containing tissues are the sites of photosynthesis and where most specialist biochemicals like plant hormones and plant metabolites such as amino acids are synthesised.

They are, therefore, those plant parts with most physiological activity and therefore the highest nutrient demand. Nutrients enter most readily through open stomata but also in continuous and sustained amounts directly through the leaf epidermis.

Pioneering research which first showed the huge benefits of foliar feeding over traditional soil application was carried out by Dr H B Tukey and colleagues at Michigan State University in the 1950s. By applying

radio-labelled phosphorous and potassium and then using a Geiger Counter to trace absorption, movement and utilisation of the respective ions they demonstrated the 95 per cent efficiency of foliar application compared with only 10 per cent efficiency for soil application.

Plant nutrient delivery First requirement is to make sure that the delivery system (formulation) is physically and chemically compatible with the job in hand including a spray water pH that does not impact negatively on nutrient solubility, and a nutrient solution concentration that does not block nozzles in the application system (the sprayer).

The former may necessitate acidification of plant nutrient products unavoidably delivered in inherently alkaline water supplies. This is a big issue in Romania where powder products will readily ‘fall out’ of solution unless pH of the water used for spraying is suitably adjusted downwards to a lower pH. Some companies claim that problems associated with soil applied nutrients are overcome by using humectants which are hygroscopic carbohydrate substances such as sorbitol. They absorb water and are therefore claimed to assist soil penetration of nutrients dissolved in the soil water.

However, this soil supplementation approach cannot match the efficiency of foliar feeding. Leaves present the most focused and appropriate target due to their large surface area for retention, minimal barriers to nutrient entry and being the site where most of the plant’s nutrient capacity will be utilised.

Spray application technique

Omex products are widely used on greenhouse vegetables like the courgettes shown here

Water soluble plant nutrients are marketed as either powder (crystalline) or fluid formulations which can, in principle, be applied through any system that delivers water to the crop whether by spraying or over-head irrigation. The only restrictions rest with the application system itself.

For instance, centre pivot irrigation systems used for fertigation invariably create self-wash off problems where nutrients landing on the foliage are perpetually washed off into the soil thus defeating the whole object of the fertigation process.

Omex Agrifluids is actively encouraging farmers to move away from fertigation with centre-pivot systems to the application of plant nutrients by power sprayer. “It may be ‘easier’ to apply nutrients via over-head irrigation but is considerably less cost effective due to the problem of ‘self-wash-off’,” said Peter Prentis.

Where crop spraying is concerned the requirement to apply high concentrations of nutrients may create blockage problems when used through ultra-low volume (ULV) and controlled droplet application (CDA) machines with correspondingly ultra-fine nozzles and spray liquid flow rates. However, hands-on experience has shown this is not a problem on cotton in Africa where Manganese (Mn), Boron (B) and Zinc (Zn) micronutrients, as well as NPK (Nitrogen:Phosphorous:Potassium) macronutrients have been successfully applied through hand-held spinning disc CDA sprayers (the Micron Ulva+) in Zambia.

Soluble nutrients may be applied by a whole range of spray application machinery whether self-propelled, tractor-mounted or trailed

FAR EASTERN AGRICULTURE Issue Four 2012

Crops

and portable sprayers including lever operated knapsack sprayers, pneumatic (pump-up) sprayers, shoulder-mounted low volume mistblowers and handheld spinning disc ULV/CDA applicators.

Soluble plant nutrients are also being applied by aerial spraying using fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters over broad-acre crops like cereals in East Africa. Plant nutrients are traditionally applied to greenhouse crops through cold fogging machines and highly specialised aeroponic/hydroponic fogging systems which have been custom-designed for hydroponically grown crops.

The beauty of foliar feeding by spraying is that plant nutrients can be tank-mixed with insecticides and fungicides provided any issues with pH and compatibility can be avoided or overcome. “In terms of application soluble nutrients give farmers and growers a much greater freedom and flexibility and of the same order offered by fungicides and insecticides,” said Lowes. “The close relationship between plant health, including tolerance and resistance to insect pests and diseases, and a balanced plant nutrition is the obvious connection when using pesticides and nutrients within an integrated application package,” said Prentis.

Some recommendations suggest that a pH closer to 7.0 is better for plants with lots of young growth while one closer to pH 6.2 is better for those with a preponderance of established growth.

When to spray

Targeting spray droplets

Foliar feeding should not take place during periods of intense sunshine and ideally not in temperatures above 27°C especially when the atmosphere is dry and water vapour is leaving the cells. Low temperature conditions should also be avoided wherever possible.

Selective application timing avoids those periods when crops plants are under maximum stress with stomata (pores), usually concentrated on the abaxial (lower) leaf surface, being closed and therefore presenting a barrier to the rapid entry of plant nutrients into leaves.

As a general and practical rule farmers and growers are advised to select the coolest time of a hot day and the warmest time of a cool day. And spray when humidity is high which invariably means early morning or late afternoon and evening. More specifically, spraying is ideally carried out in the early morning with temperatures at 22°C or less, when leaf cells are turgid (full of water) and dew has collected on the leaf surface.

The pH of plant nutrient sprays should be between 6.2 and 7.0 which is weakly acid to neutral. This is critically important for keeping nutrients in solution during the entire spray operation, ensuring rapid entry of nutrients from retained spray droplets into the leaves and subsequent efficient utilisation by the leaf tissues as seen by fast growth responses.

Research shows that the more alkaline (over pH 7.0) is the nutrient spray solution then the lower the resulting plant growth rate achieved.

Uniform coverage over the surface of the crop is the aim but there are specific parts of the canopy where spray droplets will secure the best retention, dried nutrient deposits are best protected from rainfall or irrigation and nutrients will secure the most rapid and complete entry into the leaves.

These are the abaxial (lower) leaf surfaces and especially those of leaves inside the canopy. The lower leaf surface lacks a thick cuticle and wax bloom and is where most if not all of the stomata are situated. Tree crops like coffee and citrus which display a thick waxy cuticle on the upper (adaxial) leaf surfaces have stomata completely confined to the lower (abaxial) leaf surface. The lower leaf surface is essentially protected from the wash-off effects of rainfall and overhead irrigation and is always the last part to dry out, especially for leaves in the middle of the canopy.

Air assisted sprays are especially useful for opening up the canopy to incoming spray and maximising deposition of nutrient laden droplets on the abaxial surfaces of the leaves. The leading edge of the spray stream removes the layer of still air surrounding the outer canopy before flipping the leaves upwards to open up the canopy and expose the under-surface (abaxial surface) to incoming droplets following on in the main body of moving air. n

Underground solution to starving rice plants CIENTISTS HAVE PINPOINTED a gene that enables rice plants to produce around 20 per cent more grain by increasing uptake of phosphorus, an important, but limited, plant nutrient.

The discovery unlocks the potential to improve the food security of rice farmers with the lowest value phosphorus-deficient land, allowing them to grow more rice to add to global production, and earn more.

The gene – called PSTOL1, which stands for phosphorus starvation tolerance – helps rice grow a larger, better root system and thereby access more phosphorus. Farmers can apply phosphorus fertilizers to increase productivity but, on problem soils, phosphorus is often locked in the soil and unavailable to plants.

Also, phosphorus fertilizer is often unaffordable to poor farmers.

Adding to the problem is that phosphorus is a non-renewable natural resource and rock phosphate reserves – the source of most phosphorus fertilizers – are running out.

“For many years, we have searched for genes that improve phosphorus uptake,” said Dr. Sigrid Heuer, senior scientist at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and leader of the team that published the discovery in Nature.

“We’ve known for a long time that the traditional rice variety Kasalath

S

from India has a set of genes that helps rice grow well in soils low in phosphorus,” she added.

Kasalath’s superior performance under phosphorus deficiency was discovered by Dr. Matthias Wissuwa from the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences. He then collaborated with IRRI and shared the DNA information of Kasalath. The current research was supported and facilitated by the CGIAR Generation Challenge Program.

“We have now hit the jackpot and found PSTOL1, the major gene responsible for improved phosphorus uptake and understand how it works,” Heuer said.

According to Dr. Wricha Tyagi at the School of Crop Improvement at the Central Agricultural University in the Indian state of Meghalaya, knowledge of the exact gene will be critical for future breeding programs suited to eastern and Northeastern parts of India where rice productivity is less than 40 per cent of the national average due to acidic soil and poor availability of phosphorus.

The discovery of the PSTOL1 gene means that rice breeders will be able to breed new rice varieties faster and more easily, and with 100 per cent certainty their new rice will have the gene.

Dr. Joko Prasetiyono, of the Institute for Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research and Development in Indonesia, is breeding rice plants with the PSTOL1 gene. The plants are not genetically modified just bred using smart modern breeding techniques.

“In field tests in Indonesia and the Philippines, rice with the PSTOL1 gene produced about 20 per cent more grain than rice without the gene,” said Heuer.

The PSTOL1 gene is also being tested in rice varieties for the more productive irrigated rice-growing areas and initial results show that the plants grow a better root system and have higher production too. This means it could help farmers in these areas reduce their fertilizer use and expenditure without compromising productivity.

The discovery also stresses the importance of conserving the genetic diversity of traditional varieties such as Kasalath. IRRI conserves more than 114,000 different types of rice in the International Rice Genebank.

This research has been conducted in collaboration with JIRCAS, the University of Milano in Italy, the University of the Philippines Los Baños, and the Institute for Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research and Development in Indonesia. n Source: IRRI

Demand for farm equipment to go up 6.7 per cent WORLD DEMAND FOR agricultural equipment is expected to increase 6.7 per cent per year through 2016 to US$173.5bn and will be driven primarily by sales gains in rapidly developing nations particularly China, Brazil, and India - as these countries continue to mechanise their agricultural sectors.

According to the 'World Agricultural Equipment to 2016' report, population expansion and strong economic growth in these nations will put increasing pressure on their agricultural sectors to become more efficient and productive, resulting in a rise in farm machinery sales.

Agricultural machinery demand in the Asia-Pacific region was more than twice that of any other region in 2011, the report says.

China and India will be the primary nations fueling future market advances in this region, although other smaller markets, including Thailand and Indonesia, will also expand rapidly through 2016.

In the industrialised world, North America and western Europe will both record below-average growth in farm equipment sales through 2016. Demand will be driven by technological advances, as the efficiency gains afforded by newer equipment with more sophisticated technology will make it economically feasible for farmers to replace their machinery more frequently.

Conversely, many farmers delayed replacing their older machinery during the 2008-2010 economic crisis, avoiding major purchases of new machinery because of an uncertain economic environment.

As a result, 2011 was the beginning of a spike in demand for agricultural machinery as better economic conditions prompted farmers to finally replace older machines. Since the average replacement cycle is generally eight or nine years, high demand in 2011 means many farmers may not replace machinery in 2016, constraining agricultural equipment demand through the forecast period.

Farm tractors the largest product segment in 2011, represented 30 per cent of all agricultural machinery sales. Plowing and cultivating machinery is expected to be the fastest growing product type from 2011 to 2016, expanding 9.1 per cent per year as farmers in developing nations purchase larger and more complex tilling equipment to in-crease the productivity of their land.

In 2011, the United States held a slight lead over China as the largest producer of farm machinery, with industry shipments of US$23.1bn. However, the Chinese agricultural equipment manufacturing industry is expected to expand rapidly through 2016, while production growth in the US will be more moderate. As a result, China will overtake the US to become the biggest manufacturer of farm machinery in the world, with 2016 industry shipments 70 per cent greater than those of the US. Manufacturing output will also rise at a fast pace in Brazil and India, supported by the strong local markets and rapidly industrialising economies in these nations.

This study analyses the world agricultural equipment industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by type (e.g., farm tractors, harvesting machinery, planting and fertilizing machinery, haying machinery, plowing and cultivating machinery), world region and major country. The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles industry participants like AGCO, CLAAS, CNH, Deere, Kubota and more.

New rigid draper head for New Holland combines GRAIN PRODUCERS CAN maximise the high capacity of their New Holland CR Series Twin Rotor and CX8000 SeriesSuper-Conventional combine in cereals, grains, rice and other specialty crops with a rigid draper head designed specifically for New Holland combines.

The 840CD rigid draper head provides uniform crop flow and reliable performance and is available in cutting widths of 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 feet. The 25- 30-, and 35-foot heads feature a single-span, plastic-tine pickup reel while 40- and 45-foot models use a dual-span reel with plastic tines. For harvesting rice, 25-foot single-span and 30- or 35-foot dualspan steel tine reel options are also available. An optional upper-cross auger is available for harvesting bushy crops such as peas or canola.

The 840CD head features the patented New Holland SynchroKnife drive. This center knife-drive system revolutionises the way a combine head cutterbar is driven.

The double knife drive gearbox is driven by a single hydraulic motor and is mounted in the center of the head. This system works on the same basis as the two opposing knife drives used in larger heads, but eliminates the vibrations they can cause by continually keeping the opposing knifes perfectly synchronized. The new drive also eliminates complex drivelines, reducing maintenance needs and saving power while reducing end shield width to minimize run down of standing un-cut crop.

The 840CD draper head provides uniform crop flow

Variable-speed outer draper belts and fixed-speed twin 41.6-inch center draper belts deliver the crop smoothly to the floating 26-inch-diameter auger. The auger features fiveinch flighting to handle heavy crop and feed it smoothly into the combine. A flat auger floor angle aids crop flow and the auger can be adjusted up and down, to match crop.

For ease in moving the head from field to field, an optional integrated low-speed transport system is available.

The system uses wheels that fold down hydraulically from the combine cab with a hitch attached by hand so the header can be towed with the combine. A process that used to require two people, a trailer and a tow vehicle can now be handled by one person.

Strength, flexibility USPs of new auger SOUTH AFRICA-BASED TECHNICAL Systems has launched the new ‘Fatiqless’ auger. The poultry and pig equipment manufacturer has also developed the Corner Unit with a unique synthetic bush that gives maintenance-free operation with no grease necessary. The Unit is designed for hard wearing and smooth direction changes in the chain feeding system.

“The fatigue-less auger is the latest addition to Technical Systems product range. Strength, flexibility and fatigue prove to be the highlights of this new auger.

The fatigue capability has been proven during fatigue oscillator tests. This auger is also treated with a surface oxidation resistant oil finish,” a company official said.

John Deere introduces Mobile Weather for product applicators FOR PRIVATE AND commercial applicators who need precise weather information in order to make proper product application and other weather-related decisions, John Deere introduces John Deere Mobile Weather.

including wind speed and direction, Delta T, and temperature and relative humidity on the John Deere GreenStar 2 or GreenStar 3 displays. However, only the GreenStar 3 2630 Display is capable of documenting (recording) weather data, which can be transferred to Apex or other third party farm management software for analysis and record keeping.

According to Janae Althouse, product manager with the John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group, John Deere Mobile Weather enables operators to make in-cab product application decisions based on location-specific weather data. In addition, operators don’t have to rely on hand-held devices or make multiple stops to manually check and record weather conditions when applying product.

“Mobile Weather is perfect for producers or commercial applicators who need to capture weather information as part of their record keeping, documentation and data analysis, or for maintaining government compliance,” said Althouse.

“It integrates easily into existing sprayer and GreenStar displays without the need for additional hand-held devices or displays to provide on-the-go weather monitoring.”

John Deere mobile weather contains brackets that are designed to be mounted on any John Deere 4940, 4930, 4830 and 4730 selfpropelled Sprayers, with GreenStar displays. It can be programmed to warn the operator when weather conditions are outside of preset parameters for optimal spraying.

“Mobile weather helps improve the efficiency and effectiveness of sprayer applications because it notifies operators of potential spraying issues when wind, temperature and humidity conditions are difficult,” added Althouse.

“This increases compliance, saves time and trips across the field and reduces the need for weather-related reapplication of products.”

Moreover Good governance of national veterinary services is a critical element of mitigating foot-and-mouth disease

New strategy to control FMD gets wide support FAO/OIE strategy to combat foot-and-mouth disease benefits farmers and consumers ARMERS AND CONSUMERS stand to benefit from a new global strategy to control the spread of a deadly livestock disease that has been endorsed by representatives from more than 100 countries and international donors at a conference in Bangkok.

The conference on foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) was organised by UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), with support from Thailand's Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.

More than 1 billion smallholder farmers around the world depend on livestock for their livelihoods, but outbreaks of FMD inflict an estimated annual global loss of US$5 billion.

Developing countries are often hardest hit

by FMD, a highly-contagious viral disease, with small farmers suffering devastating impacts on their earnings. Consumers are also affected as they pay more for milk, meat and other foodstuffs when FMD fells livestock.

Foot-and-mouth disease affects cattle, swine, sheep, goats and other ruminants, as well as a number of wildlife species. The global strategy developed by FAO and OIE advises countries on their risk management policy for controlling FMD outbreaks, allowing them to take early steps to prevent the disease from spreading.

F

Capacity development The Strategy will have a big impact by decreasing the ravages of FMD, and by improving countries' situations with regard to

many other diseases, some of which affect human health directly.

"For the Global Strategy to succeed it needs more than the partnership of FAO and OIE; it needs the producers and marketing sectors to participate, as well as the veterinary services, and the pharmaceutical and vaccine companies. And it will need sustained support from financial institutions and the generosity of funders," FAO assistant director-general Hiroyuki Konuma told those attending the conference, which ran from 27 to 29 June.

The conference was the second on FMD, with the first having taken place in Asunción, Paraguay in 2009.

As the world population expands from just under 7 billion people today to more than 9 billion expected in 2050, the demand for milk, meat and animal-based products will rise steeply in the years to come. The vast majority of that increasing demand will come from developing countries and emerging economies in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. This growth will also be driven by steadily improving incomes in those same areas.

Aiming for FMD freedom With cross-border trade also increasing, the transboundary nature of FMD is a regional threat that requires regional approaches.

"Foot-and-mouth disease is not a priority in many countries, but when it strikes, the damage is enormous, ranging from losses in production to the culling of animals and trade bans. Good governance of national veterinary services using

the OIE PVS Pathway is a critical element of mitigating foot-and-mouth disease with a positive impact on food security and poverty. Besides global control is in the interest of FMD-free countries because it avoids reintroduction of the disease on their territory," OIE director-general Bernard Vallat told the conference.

Included in the process is OIE official recognition of national control programmes and of FMD freedom: today 66 out of 178 OIE member countries are free from FMD.

National veterinary services The Global Strategy will also strengthen FMD control through the improvement of national veterinary services responsible for animal disease control, so that they can comply with OIE standards on quality.

The Global Strategy is expected to produce three results: • FMD is controlled in most countries and eliminated in some of them • Veterinary services and their infrastructures are improved • Prevention and control of other major diseases of livestock are improved The Global Strategy includes the development of regional vaccine banks (e.g.

OIE regional vaccine bank for Southeast Asia, FAO's Animal Production and Health Commission for Asia, etc.) and centres for quality control for developing countries. Other measures include improving the efficiency of surveillance systems, capacity of laboratories, quality control of vaccines and movement control of animals. n Source: FAO
