Trends in Animal Agriculture Flashcards
(46 cards)
plays a vital role in the Philippines, providing essential food products like meat, dairy, and eggs, while also supporting many livelihoods.
Animal agriculture
a serious disease that affects pigs. It is caused by a virus and can make pigs very sick or kill them.
African Swine Fever (ASF)
a viral infection that primarily affects birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys.
Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)
a highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats.
Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD)
a contagious viral disease that affects poultry, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys. I
Newcastle Disease
a serious disease that affects pigs, causing symptoms like fever, skin rashes, and sometimes death.
Classical Swine Fever (CSF)
a serious viral disease that affects animals like cattle, goats, and sheep, which is usually transmitted through bites from infected animals.
Rabies in Livestock
several new technologies are being adopted to boost growth in animal agriculture like:
- Automated Feeding and Monitoring Systems
- Genetic Improvements
- Biosecurity Measures
- Water Recycling and Waste Management
- Mobile Apps and Digital Platforms
- Aquaculture Technologies
7.Vertical and Indoor Farming
What are key parts of Filipino meals, making livestock and poultry vital industries in the Philippines.
Chicken and pork
In the first quarter of 2024, livestock and poultry made up about how many percentage of the country’s agricultural output?
30%
Its production was valued at P59.46 billion, while poultry was worth P68.76 billion.
Livestock
Livestock production was valued at P59.46 billion, while ? was worth P68.76 billion.
poultry
Consumers are increasingly opting for ?, because of health concerns, which means people are changing what and how much meat they eat
lean meats and organic products
The growing interest in ? may influence future consumption patterns and impact how animal products are produced and marketed.
plant-based alternatives
They are using new technologies and better methods to produce more food without harming the environment.
Farmers
is transforming animal agriculture by applying advanced technologies to improve the efficiency, health, and sustainability of farming practices. This field involves using scientific methods to enhance livestock breeding, manage diseases, and optimize production.
Biotechnology
Various biotechnology methods are used in improving the breeding stock of animals
Genetic Improvement
Various biotechnology methods are used in improving the breeding stock of animals. These include:
artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET), in-vitro fertilization (IVF)
It is a technology that improves animal breeds by placing sperm from a top-quality male directly into a female without natural mating. It helps prevent the spread of diseases, saves money by reducing the need for many breeding males, makes it easier to track pedigrees, and introduces better genetics affordably
Artificial Insemination
Advanced techniques such as ? further enhance AI’s effectiveness, allowing farmers to create healthier and better livestock more efficiently.
freezing semen and sperm sexing
In cases where other artificial reproductive techniques don’t work—such as when there are issues like blocked reproductive systems, non-responsive ovaries, poor semen quality, or disease—what fertilization technique is used
in vitro fertilization (IVF)
involves fertilizing the sperm and egg outside the animal’s body under controlled conditions.
IVF
involves moving embryos from a superior female to a surrogate mother, allowing the production of multiple offspring from a high-quality female.
Embryo transfer (ET)
The process includes hormonally stimulating the donor to produce multiple eggs, fertilizing them, and then transferring the embryos into the surrogate mother’s uterus.
Embryo transfer (ET)
