Dairying is an integral part of small-holder farming systems as well as an important source of subsidiary income for most households in Bihar, India and most farmers keep 2-3 cattle. Nevertheless, the per-capita milk availability in Bihar is very low (175 g/d) compared to the Indian average (290 g/d) in 2011-12 as productivity is low, mainly because current feeding is based mainly on crop residues (wheat and rice straw). Constraints to improving these feeding practices include limited farm resources, weak support services and poor knowledge on nutrient requirements and contents. The present study examines the effect of a balanced concentrate feed on livestock productivity in Samastipur and Muzaffarpur districts of Bihar, in comparison to existing feeding practices.

Livestock Research SMF Team final presentation April 2017Lakeland College
The livestock research unit is the newest of the five livestock Student-Managed Farm powered by New Holland.
The research unit has been working with heifers to improve hybrid vigour. The team manages all aspects of the herd including herd health, marketing and finances. They also make recommendations for the next year's team.
All the livestock teams made their final presentations April 13, 2017 in Vermilion's Alumni Hall Theatre.
Every student-managed farm unit presents a final report at the end of the term. This PowerPoint highlights the year's activities, analytics, challenges and recommendations from the 2016-17 sheep unit of Lakeland College's Student-Managed Farm powered by New Holland.
An exploratory analysis of the effectiveness of milk market in Odisha, IndiaILRI
The dairy sector plays an important role for Odisha, an Eastern Indian state, contributing a large share of the agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) and supporting the socioeconomic development of millions of rural households. In Odisha, 80 percent of rural households depend on dairy and draw 30 per cent of their annual income from it. Also, dairy constitutes a major share of the value of output from the livestock sector –the share has increased from less than 50 percent in 1950-51 to about 65 percent in the 2000s. Nevertheless, the dominating small, resource constrained farmers have not been able to extract the potential benefits from the growing demand as they have failed to improve their linkages with markets and consumers. Improving the efficiency of the value-chain system is seen as a major opportunity for the development of the dairy sector.
The advantages of feed pellets in pig farming are well documented so pig breeders are inclined to adopt pellets into feed and are interested in improving feed pellet quality. Research shows that there is a proportional relationship between factors which determine pig feed pellet quality. Feed formulation accounts for 40 percent, raw material granularity 20 percent, modulating 20 percent, ring die specification 15 percent, cooling 5 percent and other factors 5 percent.
The purebred beef unit is one of 5 livestock teams in Lakeland College's Student-Managed Farm powered by New Holland (SMF).
The team manages the college's purebred Angus herd and this year introduced Red Angus to the herd. It's their recommendation to continue to develop a Red Angus herd.
The promotes, markets, feeds, monitors herd health, shows and puts together an annual Beef Day. The final presentation reports on all areas of team activities as well as makes recommendations for next year.
All livestock teams presented April 13, 2017 at the Vermilion campus Alumni Hall Theatre.
SMF is part of both the animal science and crop technology programs at Lakeland College.

Milk consumption in Pakistan is 159 liters per person per year, which is among the highest in developing world (FAO). The demand for milk is increasing every year. Moreover, in big cities quality of milk is becoming a primary focus of the consumers. Currently, most of the milk (app. 80-85%) comes from small scale dairy farmers (herd sizer < 30 animals), however, a significant increase in medium and large dairy herds is observed in past decade. The increasing feed and other inputs prices are putting pressure on the dairy producers and a careful assessment of the cost of milk was required. The current survey was conducted in the district Lahore with the 5 different types of producers. We hope that outcomes of this project will be useful for the institutions and private sector to design strategies that will support farmers. We are hopeful that the dairy producers and technical service providers will also find these results interesting and will use them to design there KPIs and targets to improve efficiencies.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

10. High adoption of ILRI-CSISA promoted balance concentrate feed on
subsidized basis.
Higher degree of encouragement for ILRI-CSISA promoted balance feed
among beneficiary farmers but less adoption.
Possible Causes:
Higher cost than market feed.
No timely availability of balanced concentrate feed promoted by ILRI-
CSISA in required quantity.
Business development – No any farmer is taking interest to prepare
CSISA promoted balance concentrate feed at large scale for business
(Except 5-6 farmers).
No facility of loan for purchase of ILRI-CSISA promoted balance
concentrate feed.
Problems in scaling-out
11. Collaborate with leading Institutions in Bihar for scaling-out of feeding
technology to a larger group of farmers
480 dairy farmers to be part of trials in (Vaishali, Arwal, Ara and
Begusarai) districts of Bihar under ILRI-CSISA promoted balance
concentrate feed through SHGs
96 trainings on feeding and demonstrations of technologies
400 dairy farmers under mineral mixture feeding trials
400 dairy farmers under efficient utilization of maize stover with
nutritive enrichment in (Samastipur, Vaishali, Muzaffarpur and
Begusarai) districts (major maize producing areas) of Bihar
Training of interested farmers to act as LRPs
Future Plans for 2014-15
