Pakistan is rich in goat genetic resources. It is the third largest goat producing country in the world after China and India. At present, there are 53.8 million goats in Pakistan and their population is increasing at the rate of more than 3% per annum (GOP, 2006). Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and NWFP have 37, 23, 22 and 18% goat population, respectively. There are more than 25 recognized breeds of goat (Hasnti0otain, 1985). Domestic animals creation is an important element of the rustic country of Pakistan. It is an important component of the cultivation sector as it accounts for 49.6% of the agricultural assessment added and about 10.4% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Livestock products also considerably have good contribution …show more content…
Goat milk has been recommended as a substitute for those who suffer from allergies to cow milk or other food sources. Between 40% and 100% of patients allergic to cow milk tolerate goat milk. Therefore, there is a growing awareness of the importance of goats as a source of milk. Worldwide, more people drink goat milk than milk from any other species. The potential for the increased use of goats as animals for milk production in many developing countries is quite high. The genetics of milk production in goats seem to be similar to that in cattle and sheep (MIA et al. 2014). However, in terms of live weight, the goat is believed to be more efficient in milk production than the other 2 species. Haas and Horst Sheep and goats are the major source of livelihood for over a million livestock farmers (Hasnain, 1985). There are more than 50.9 million heads of goats in Pakistan (Anonymous, 2002). Pakistan is endowed with diverse livestock genetic resources. In fact, it is postulated that one of the centers of animal domestication lies in this part of the world. Pakistan has nearly 50 million
From a financial and marketing standpoint, the effects have been catastrophic. In some areas, milk production has decreased by an average of two liters daily and calving index (efficiency at which new calves are produced) went down by an average of twenty days (Davies NP). Th...
The scope statement is an analysis among the economics students. It represents deeper understanding on how microeconomics issues and concepts work on decision making and planning. The case study also helps to comprehend how and why the policy and regulation are being imposed in the market. Furthermore, it assists in discovering the various behaviour of consumer that leads to their respective decision and thus affects the whole economy.
Commodity Chain of Milk Milk: Does the body good? That?s about as much as I knew. As a somewhat, well, I?ll admit it- ignorant consumer- I simply thought that milk in the supermarket came from, well? a big, long row of cows somewhere.
This article goes into depth on the different components that make up breast milk’s nutrient content. The article also goes over the different types of milks that a mother produces when feeding her infant. It also brings up that every mother’s milk is different because breast milk will change itself based on an infant’s nutritional needs. Both authors work at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research for Human Milk and Lactation which means both authors have a strong knowledge about breast milk. All sources they
As the years pass by, research is continually uncovering new methods to improve efficiency of domestic breeding programs for commercially farmed animals. Within every one of these methods there are advantages, disadvantages, limitations and ethical issues which must be investigated and addressed. Still, with the use of these realised technologies, there have been significant advances already, that indicate a more genetically focused, and technology based farming life for future years. Procedures including Embryo Transfer (ET) and Artificial Insemination (AI) are already being employed, with widespread use on commercial cattle properties. While at the same time, technologies such as Cloning, and Genetic Engineering although seemingly already developed to some degree, are just the tip of the iceburg as researchers strive to create a genetically perfect, nation wide, breeding program for cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and poultry.
Cows are presented by dairy companies as happy going animals raised in pastors to run free with loving farmers, although this may be true for small farmers who are organic, this image of free cows roaming free is little to being true for most companies with packaged milk that you see at your local grocery store. Wangnet Valerie says “Most of our dairy products milk come from manufactured farming where most cows live up there whole life indoors and are crammed into crates where they are unable to move and while female cows are milked until they become too weak to stand, at which point they are promptly trucked out to be killed.” Cows are not only milked till point of exhaustion but they are either naturally or artificially inseminated in order to bread for more production of female cows to continue milk production. While these cows are giving birth, the calf’s are taken away so that the famers and manufactures can get the milk that the mother cow has produced for her offspring instead of the providing some to the calf. In the film earth links by Phoenix, it showed the way baby cows are placed in small crammed areas and tied up so that they may not lay down or move these baby cows are feed a liquid diet that doesn’t provide the baby cows with the sufficient amount of nutrients that are need for the growth and development but instead are given something that merely keeps them alive. Also these dairy cows are not only abused physically and emotionally but these cows are also given antibiotics and certain medication to increase milk production which leads these cows to a painful bacterial infection causing a cow’s udder to swell and mastitis. Which then lead to high levels of antibiotics being injected into these cows we are consuming antibiotics daily form not only the meat but the dairy. Suchayan Chowdhury wrote an article on the her finding of levels of antibiotics she found
Lactose intolerance is an inherited condition as indicated by a recently distributed survey, as well as complied research that has been collected. The survey results had only a small fraction of people who were lactose intolerant, 10%. However, almost 50% of survey takers family members had intolerance toward lactose. This proves several people are not born with the lactose intolerance activated but eventually with age the trait will activate since it has been inherited. Also majority of the survey takers are North American or European and in high school. Ethnicity, culture and age all have a large impact on whether or not the lactase enzyme is being produce, specifically in mammals.
The idea of pasteurizing milk bagan in the 1920s, and later became an aspect of everyday life in the 1950s. Milk that has undergone this process is normally prefered since it is sterilized, therefore lowering the chance of human illness. However, it’s not the 1950s anymore, and the idea of pasteurizing milk has lost its luster for the people that now prefer raw milk. Unlike the milk that most Americans consume, raw milk has not been pasteurized, or quickly heated to a high temperature to kill harmful bacteria. In raw milk, these bacterias haven’t been removed, leaving people at risk. E. Coli, salmonella, and listeria are only some of the bacteria that raw milk carries, all of which can cause sickness, or even death. Common affects of consuming raw milk are diarrhea, stomach cramping, and vomiting, but it's the rare ones: kidney failure,paralysis, and death that causes raw milk to be illegal in half of the states and illegal to carry over state lines in its final form. Nevertheless, people still actively seek out and consume raw milk because they believe its nutritional values to be greater. Controversies surround this topic on whether organic food
Breastfeeding is a highly debated topic amongst mothers across the world. Every mother has the choice to breastfeed or bottle fed their infant. Although everyone is entitled to their own opinion and choice, it is scientifically proven that breast milk is more beneficial for the infant’s health and development and the mother. Breast milk contains extremely beneficial vitamins and nutrients and also has the ability to change according to the infant’s growth and development. Formula companies try to mock breast milk to the best they can, although it cannot be completely composed the same. “Breastfeeding offers immunological and allergy protection to the infant, is economical and convenient as it is always fresh and the right temperature, and provides a great opportunity for the mother and infant to bond” (p. 1052, Potter & Perry, 2011). Research has proven that breast milk is the most

Since when does sexy conduct healthier and better milk? The two print ads that I am introducing to you is a milk from the Coca-Cola Company. The milk is called Fairlife and comes in different flavors: 2% reduced fat, 2% chocolate, fat free, and whole. Their tag line is “Believe in a better milk”.
Milk Pak, however, further grew in stature when Nestle used it to break into Pakistan's marketplace. By 2006, the dairy milk category was growing at 20 percent annually, and Milk Pak and Haleeb were well-entrenched brands with distinctive colors and brand promises of providing high quality, natural and healthy milk. Milk Pak was identified by its green and white packaging—the colors of the country—and offered a brand backed with the strong equity of Nestle, coupled with its own traditional heritage. Haleeb was recognized as the blue brand, and professed to have the "naturally thickest" milk. With the market dominated by two strong, familiar, and widely respected brands, the marketplace appeared completely impervious to newcomers.
