PREFACE The goat was the first animal to be domesticated by humankind. The global goat population currently stands at 921 million, of which over 90% are found in developing countries. Asia is home to about 60% of the total world goat population and has the largest goat breed share of 26%. Goats play a vital socio-economic role in Asian agriculture, particularly for resource-poor people living in harsh environments. Non-cattle milk accounts for approximately 15% of the total milk consumption by humans worldwide. Asia contributes approximately 59% to world goat milk production and Asia‟s demand for animal products, fueled by increasing populations and growing disposable incomes, is increasing at a high rate. Despite their socio-economic importance, goat rearing has not attracted much attention of development practitioners, science managers and researchers or policy makers in Asia. However, lately, due to the emerging challenges of climate change and increasing pressure on natural resources and the high value of goat meat and milk across a number of Asian countries, the potential of goats with their high adaptability to a wide array of environmental conditions and „low quality‟ feed resources is being increasingly appreciated. Goats use poor quality roughages with high cell wall and low protein contents more efficiently than other domesticated animals. In Asia concerted efforts are needed to address issues facing goat farmers and the goat milk processing industry to fully exploit the potential of goats. FAO joined with the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Department of Veterinary Science, Malaysia and the International Dairy Federation (IDF) in organizing the First Asia Dairy Goat Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 9 to 12 April 2012. The conference provided a platform to share technical information and experiences and to network for the promotion of dairy goat farming. The conference was attended by 130 participants from 20 countries and 5 continents. These proceedings contained keynote and plenary addresses and research papers covering various disciplines including nutrition, breeding and genetics, milk and milk products and socio-economics of goat production. The deliberations and the information presented in the proceedings lead to the following conclusions and recommendations: a) there is a huge demand for goat milk in Asian countries, b) the sale price of goat milk is 2 to 4 times higher than that of cow milk in many Asian countries, c) the goat milk processing industry is not well developed in Asia and there is a need to address this issue through public-private partnerships, e) R&D work on goat production has been neglected and there is a need to generate knowledge in the areas of nutrition, health, reproduction and genetic diversity and to collate and disseminate the already available information, f) the extension work and training of goat farmers should be given top priority, g) development of sound and relevant policy options, institution building and linking farmers to markets should be addressed, leading to both increase in goat milk production and processing of goat milk, e) South-South and North-South collaboration should be promoted in areas that lead to increase in goat milk production and processing. The deliberations also stressed the need for an Asia Dairy Goat Network, and we are pleased to report that the Network, with secretariat based in UPM, and having the mission: a) facilitation, generation, collection, dissemination and exchange of knowledge on goat production, b) provision of technical, institutional and policy support to stakeholders involved in goat production and goat milk processing, and c) promotion of improved and sustainable dairy goat farming in Asia will be launched within this year. With the publication of the conference proceedings, we hope that goat farmers, goat rearing and goat milk processing industry would attract the attention they rightfully deserve.

Based on the unique traits of the period, historians have called it as Ancient history. Similarly, the period that followed had its own characteristic features to be termed as Medieval. The rise of Islam in west Asia and the Muslim conquests around the world is atypical of the early medieval period. In this Unit, we will study one such inter-related development in the Indian subcontinent. This is the Arab conquest of Sindh in the north- western region of the subcontinent. The Early Medieval in Indian History The Early Medieval is a phase of transition from ancient to medieval period. In relation to north India, the period before the sultanate phase is termed as early medieval.

The event is continuation of the series held during November 2011, 2013 and 2015 at Peshawar, Pakistan. The three conferences focused on rehabilitation of the postflood Dairy Sector; Halal meat export potential of the Region and entrepreneurship based hygienic food production respectively. The fourth event of the series is being held with the theme “Achieving Food Security through Entrepreneurship Development and Biorisk Management”. Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA are rich in livestock resources valuing US $10 billion; however, these could neither provide good economic return to producers nor quality food to consumers because of poor management. Similar wastage of natural resources is being observed throughout the world.

  • Quase Toda a Gente Gosta De Queijo
    QUEIJO Quase toda a gente gosta de Queijo. Mas ? COMO APARECEU QUAIS OS MELHORES QUAIS OS MAIS CAROS AS INÚMERAS VARIEDADES AS REGIÕES DE ORIGEM e outras coisas! MITOLOGIA Segundo a mitologia, o queijo teria sido descoberto por Aristeu, filho de Apolo. A História confirma a sua antiguidade: Os Assírios, os Caldeus e os Egípcios e, posteriormente, os Grecos e os Romanos apreciavam o queijo, utilizando-o na alimentação dos seus soldados e atletas. A Odisseia de Homero (século VIII a.C.) descreve o Ciclope fazendo e armazenando queijo do leite de ovelha e de cabra. a LENDA Uma famosa lenda conta que o primeiro queijo foi feito acidentalmente por um mercador árabe que, ao sair para cavalgar por uma região montanhosa, debaixo do sol escaldante, levou uma bolsa cheia de leite de cabra para matar a sede. Após um dia inteiro a galope, o árabe, morto de sede, pegou no seu cantil para beber, e deparou-se com uma grande surpresa; o leite encontrava-se separado em duas partes: um líquido fino e esbranquiçado (o soro) e uma porção sólida (o queijo). A transformação deu-se devido ao calor intenso do sol, ao galope do cavalo e ao material do cantil (uma bolsa feita de estômago de carneiro) que ainda continha o coalho (substância que coagula o leite). Queijo "mumificado" será o mais antigo do mundo já encontrado. Estava sólido, dentro de uma tumba egípcia, construída no século 13 a.C., o que faz com que o queijo tenham cerca de 3.300 anos. O Queijo: gravura da época ilustrando o fabrico artesanal e o consumo doméstico.

    Consortium for Research on Educational Access, Transitions and Equity South Asian Nomads - A Literature Review Anita Sharma CREATE PATHWAYS TO ACCESS Research Monograph No. 58 January 2011 University of Sussex Centre for International Education The Consortium for Educational Access, Transitions and Equity (CREATE) is a Research Programme Consortium supported by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Its purpose is to undertake research designed to improve access to basic education in developing countries. It seeks to achieve this through generating new knowledge and encouraging its application through effective communication and dissemination to national and international development agencies, national governments, education and development professionals, non-government organisations and other interested stakeholders. Access to basic education lies at the heart of development. Lack of educational access, and securely acquired knowledge and skill, is both a part of the definition of poverty, and a means for its diminution. Sustained access to meaningful learning that has value is critical to long term improvements in productivity, the reduction of inter- generational cycles of poverty, demographic transition, preventive health care, the empowerment of women, and reductions in inequality. The CREATE partners CREATE is developing its research collaboratively with partners in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for any other degree or diploma in any university”. Human Ethics (For projects involving human participants/tissue, etc) The research presented and reported in this thesis was conducted in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) – updated March 2014. The proposed research study received human research ethics approval from the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00262); Approval Number #HRE2017-0273. Signature : Date :…1/2/2021… ABSTRACT This thesis examines how a social movement uses social media in mobilising individuals to engage in the development of electoral reform and democracy in Malaysia. The way individuals engage with social media in their everyday lives and what encourages them to communicate and participate provides continual challenges for social movement activists. My study uses Foth and Hearn’s (2007) notion of ecology as a foundation to explain the interdependencies of citizens, place, and technology in the context of a social movement. A communicative ecology model sees social media as an environment and argues that communication and information should not be studied alone because there are different people, media, activities, and relationships involved (Tacchi, 2004; Foth & Hearn, 2007; Strate, 2017).
