Sheep Newz #14 Autumn 2019
Sheep NewZ #14 Autumn 2019 Hello Members, ASSOCIATION NEWS & VIEWS Thanks to all who have supported this issue of “Sheep NewZ”. It would be good to have some more photos/articles From The President each time other than those on the feature breed. I wonder how much money is being spent on bureaucracy in Hope everyone has had a great time over the the wool research, development and promotion sectors? holiday season. The weather was great here There seem to be several companies with great mission in the south over the summer and everyone statements but is anything much actually happening out seemed to be having lots of fun. there? NZ Merino seems to be achieving the most in both Lambs and ewes are bringing record prices this season advertising their product and developing new uses. which is very pleasing. However the same old fiddle plays Some of the Companies and their mission statements are: - the same old tune to try and bring prices down such as the Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand, “To uncertainty of the Brexit deal, Trump, and the Chinese promote, encourage and fund scientific or industry research economy which shows how we can be exposed so quickly. and information transfer that relates to the post harvest wool Hopefully common sense will prevail and our prices stay up industry” Several projects on going from 2013 – results?? at a reasonable level. Wool Industry Research Ltd – a subsidiary of the above “Focus on investment in research which increases the value It is really disappointing to see our farm training institutes and competiveness of commercial NZ wool based activity facing difficult times. -

To fulfill these requirements, this investigation aimed to implement feeding strategies to reduce the cost and energy level of diets for dairy breed lambs slaughtered at an older age than the light lambs, applying a feed restriction at 75% and/or including an inexpensive and local byproduct, such as durum wheat bran (DWB), as a fiber source. The proposed feeding plans were suitable to increase the slaughter age of lambs up to 120 days and produce lean carcasses that, compared to those from 90-day-old lambs, were heavier and with improved meat quality in terms of major water retention and tenderness. -

Sustainability and Dairy Farming Fact Sheet
SUSTAINABILITY AND DAIRY FARMING FACT SHEET Striving to protect the natural resources (such as soil, water, and air) needed for current and future food production is not a new endeavor, although the present-day pressures on all of Earth’s resources have generated widespread interest in this important effort. The core aspects of sustainability have always been an integral part of dairy farmers’ personal values and daily on-farm practices. Understanding Sustainability What is sustainability? While there was some degree of discussion of sustainability in the 1970s, it wasn’t until the 1980s that a specific characterization for sustainability in agriculture was developed.1 The U.S. Government, in the 1990 Farm Bill, defined it as follows—a definition that was adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture2 (USDA) and many others: Sustainable Agriculture is an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that over the long term will: • Satisfy human food and fiber needs; • Enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which the agricultural economy depends; • Make the most efficient use of nonrenewable resources and on-farm resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and controls; • Sustain the economic viability of farm operations; and • Enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole. Sustainable farms must meet all five elements of the USDA definition. For instance, a farm that stresses environmental quality while not being economically viable is not sustainable. Likewise, one that focuses on short-term profits without making the most efficient use of nonrenewable resources would not fit the definition. -
