New implications for perennial bioenergy crops A team of researchers from Arizona State University Stanford Univer-sity and Carnegie Institution for Science has found that converting large swaths of land to bioenergy crops could have a wide range of effects on regional climate In an effort to help wean itself off fossil fuels the US has mandated significant increases in renewable fuels with more than one-third of the domestic corn harvest to be used for conversion to ethanol by 2018

But concerns about effects of corn ethanol on food prices and deforesta-tion had led to research suggesting that ethanol be derived from peren-nial crops like the giant grasses Miscanthus and switchgrass Nearly all of this research though has focused on the effects of ethanol on carbon dioxide emissions which drive global warming Read more

Tillage and soybean yields If youre nervous switching to no-till or minimum tillage for fear youll lose soybean yields new data should help calm those nerves Especially with todays rising diesel fuel costs making the switch to a minimum till-age system should net you more profit per acre of soybeans you raise according to Iowa State University (ISU) Extension agronomist Mahdi Al-Kaisi

Almost a decades worth of studies conducted at different locations around the state of Iowa in different crop rotations (corn-soybeans corn-corn-soybeans and continuous corn) show that theres no real correlation between soybean yield and tillage system Nine years of results from long-term tillage and crop rotations studies in Iowa showed that regard-less of tillage system or crop rotation soybean yields are not affected by tillage system

This is encouraging news for producers who are reluctant to switch to no-tillage soybean after corn due to concerns of poor crop performance Al-Kaisi says in a recent report With current increases in diesel fuel prices some growers could save costs by minimising tillage passes before plant-ing soybeans Read more

Study to enhance acute piglet post-weaning feed intake Paying closer attention to nutrition in pre- and post-weaning pigs promis-es to pay dividends for pork producers thanks to enhanced intestinal and immune development survivability and performance South Australian Megan Edwards completed her PhD this month on early nutrition and the weaning transition

In four experiments under commercial conditions Dr Edwards assessed the influence of various nutritional strategies including extrusion as an alternative milling process amino acid supplementation non-nutritional effects of creep feed and the use of two nutraceutical products spray-dried porcine plasma and a yeast derived protein meal

The nutritional strategies which enhanced survivability and immune competence in newly weaned pigs included supplemental amino acids at weaning offering creep diets containing spray-dried porcine plasma and pre-weaning exposure to creep feed Read more

Weevils hamper India-Vietnam grain trade India exports maize and soybean cake to Vietnam and Vietnam re-ex-ports part of the products back to India causing a lsquotrade conflictrsquo between the two countries Cause weevils Reuters reported that Indian enter-prises have stopped exporting maize and soybean cakes to Vietnam after Vietnam decided to re-export nearly 50000 tons of materials for making animal feed it imported from India before in early February 2010

Halting exportation of animal feed to Vietnam has been described as retaliation by India but the Vietnam Feed Association said that it was just ldquonews circulated for intimidationrdquo The information immediately worried Vietnamese feed producers because India is now providing 30 percent of the total feed materials needed for Vietnam In 2010 Vietnam imported a little over 800000 tons of oil-cakes worth almost US$400 million and 400-500000 tons of maize worth around US$108 million Read more

Water demand will outstrip supply by 40 percent within 20 years Water demand in many countries will exceed supply by 40 percent within 20 years due to the combined threat of climate change and population growth scientists have warned A new way of thinking about water is needed as looming shortages threaten communities agriculture and in-dustry experts said In the next two decades a third of humanity will have only half the water required to meet basic needs said researchers

Agriculture which soaks up 71 percent of water supplies is also likely to suffer affecting food production Filling the global water gap by supply measures alone would cost an estimated pound124billion ( US$ 2021 billion) per year a meeting in Canada was told But this could be cut to between pound31billion (US$ 505 billion) and pound37billion ( US$ 603 billion) by an ap-proach which both raised supply and lowered demand according to lead-ing water economist Dr Margaret Catley-Carlson Reads more

Spain lagging behind in feed safety implementation Spain is at the back of the line when it comes to implementing the EU Di-rective on undesirable substances in animal feed The Directive controls the maximum levels of heavy metals such as arsenic specific pesticides and botanical impurities

Member states were to implement the Directive into national law by mid 2010 but Spain has failed to do so The European Commission last week once again called upon Madrid to follow suit after sending out several warnings in 2010 If the Brussels authorities do not receive a satisfactory reply within two months it can sue Spain at the European Court of Jus-tice

Kenyan farmers hit hard by rising feed cost of feeds Dairy farmers in Kenya are squeezed by the escalating cost of animal feed forcing some to revert to homemade provisions to stay afloat The rise in the cost of animal feed has also pushed up milk shelf prices increasing the burden on consumers According to players in the milk sector there is a shortage of ingredients used in animal feed and this has triggered a surge in prices

The Association of Kenya Feed Manufacturers (AKFM) says this is among the challenges facing the industry Players in the milk sector are concerned with the escalating cost of animal feed as high prices threaten to stifle the growth of the dairy farming in the country Read more

South Korea permits Syngentarsquos Agrisure stacked-GM corn Syngenta Seeds Inc has received import approval from regulatory au-thorities in South Korea for hybrids containing the Agrisure Viptera 3111 trait stack The Agrisure Viptera 3111 trait stack combines the Agrisure Viptera trait with the Agrisure 3000GT trait stack to provide control of 14 above- and below-ground corn pests more than any other commercially available product in corn trait history

This approval allows the importation of US corn grown from hybrids con-taining the trait stack into South Korea for food feed or processing use South Korean authorities previously approved the single Agrisure Viptera trait in October 2010 ldquoImport approval from South Korea provides US corn growers access to yet another valuable marketrdquo said David Morgan president of Syngenta Seeds Read more

Assitance available to Illiinois fish farmers

Illinois fish farmers can qualify for nearly US$80000 (UKpound49159) in busi-ness assistance funds under a federal program being administered by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA)

Like other small businesses throughout the state these operations make important contributions to their local economies Agriculture Director Tom Jennings said Were appreciative of this assistance because it will help preserve jobs on farms whose existence is threatened by exorbitant feed costs

The federal government has authorized US$20 million (UKpound1229 million) to provide assistance to eligible aquaculture producers under Section 32 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of August 24 1935 Illinois fish farmers are eligible if their 2009 feed costs were at least 25 percent of their total operating expenses and if their feed costs are 25 percent above the aver-age cost of feed in the state from 2003-2007 Read more

Planting Corn into Sod in 2011 Planting corn into sod comes with some general opportunities and chal-lenges Corn could generate a gross return of US$500-700acre or more depending on yield and marketing That is a large enough opportunity to consider taking old pasture or hay fields and converting them to corn for 2011 While some producers have plenty of experience with corn others are more experienced with tobacco hay or pastures The general com-ments below are targeted to both types of producers

1 Nitrogen benefit Land that has been in a grass andor legume sod for four years will reduce the fertilizer nitrogen (N) requirement by about 25 lbs Nacre If that soil has been in sod for five years or more then ferti-lizer N can be reduced by 50 lbs Nacre

2 The vast majority of hay and pasture fields are potassium (K) deficient Hay removes a lot of K2O from the soil while pasture fields tend to re-move a little less Without even conducting a soil test odds are very good that the sod will need about 60 lbs K2Oacre Of course a soil sample provides a much more accurate estimate of what is needed in the field Read more

Port strikes in Argentina fire up againAbout three-quarters of Argentinas agriculture exports are shipped from river ports clustered around Rosario and nearby San Lorenzo Argentina is the worldrsquos leading soy meal and soy oil exporter and is third-largest in soybean exports

The cooperative that employs the picketing workers is demanding that grain exporters pay more for the port services it provides Argentine port workers this week continued to picket two important grain ports at a key shipping center north of the city of Rosario A dispute over service fees is causing the strike Read more

Antibiotics in DDGS may raise some concerns Of the distillers grains produced in North America 90 percent is going into animal feeds with 80 percent of that going into ruminant diets Now public concern has arisen over the safety of the product The reason for this concern is a recent survey of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which found that 53 percent of the US distillers grains (DDGS) sampled had antibiotic residues

General fear is that these residues could potentially lead to the develop-ment of bacterial resistance in animals and eventually also in humans DDGS are primarily produced through dry or wet milling In dry milling the whole grain is milled and used for ethanol production

Wet milling on the other hand separates out all of the grain components and only uses the starch for ethanol production The remaining portion of the grain is used to create a variety of other marketable products Read more

Mexico Trucking Dispute Agreement Reached President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon have reached an agreement to resolve the dispute over cross-border trucking The dispute erupted in March 2009 when Mexico placed higher tariffs on an estimated US$24 billion of US goods after the US Congress cut off funding to renew a pilot program that let a limited number of Mexican trucking companies to haul freight beyond a 25-mile US commercial zone

Mexico had instituted tariffs in retaliation for the United States not com-plying with the trucking provision of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) The provision was supposed to become effective in December 1995 Half of the US$24 billion in Mexican retaliatory tariffs are to be lifted as soon as the agreement is finalised The remainder of the tariffs will be lifted when the necessary safety tests are completed and the first Mexican truck rolls across the US border according to a state-ment from the American Farm Bureau Federation Read more

Research Omega-3 fatty acids pork quality Canadian researchers found that increasing omega-3 levels through dietary co-extruded flaxseed supplementation negatively affects pork palatability To clarify the impact of feeding co-extruded flaxseed on car-cass quality and pork palatability 96 pigs (48 barrows and 48 gilts) were fed three different levels of flaxseed (zero percent five percent and 10 percent of dietary intake) for 76 days

Carcass quality and meat quality characteristics of pure loin muscle and ground pork (20 percent fat) were evaluated Fat hardness and belly firmness decreased with increasing co-extruded flaxseed Pigs fed co-extruded flaxseed levels had higher lean yield and total lean content Loin from barrows had higher fat content compared to gilts Co-extruded flaxseed supplementation increased omega-3 content in loin and ground pork Read more

Food prices to carry on climbing all year in the UK The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO) said that turmoil in north Africa and the Middle East was behind the fresh spike in the price of wheat and cooking oil with many governments hoarding food The UN Food and Agriculture Organisations (FAOs) food price index averaged 236 points in February a record up 22 percent from January and rising for the eighth month in a row

The index highlights how food prices which throughout most of the last two decades have been stable have taken off in alarming fashion in the last three years In 2000 the index stood at 90 and did not break through 100 until 2004 If crude oil a key cost for farmers and shipping companies moving commodities around the world continues to climb prices will climb yet higher the UN warned Read more

Taiwan and US at stalemate over ractopamine TaiwanUS trade talks were due to resume in early January but were put on hold when a resolution over ractopamine levels permitted by Taiwan was not found The US postponed the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) talks after Taiwan blocked some shipments of US beef after finding that they contained residue of ractopamine (banned by Taiwan) an animal feed additive that promotes leanness A TIFA is a trade pact that establishes a framework for expanding trade and resolv-ing outstanding disputes between countries TIFAs are often seen as an important step toward establishing free trade agreements

Taiwan Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Sheng-Chung Lin said last week the amount of boneless beef imported from the US has continued to drop recently and that his government understands the USs concerns over Taipeis stance regarding imports of the meat Central News Agency re-ported However he pointed out that Taiwans regulations do not allow for any traces of ractopamine in meat According to Lin Taiwan has laid out its current regulations but the US has not accepted them Read more

Vietnamese animal feed imports face huge losses if Indian feed rejected Vietnamese animal feed importers face huge losses if they are forced to return almost 100000 tonnes of maize and soybean to India because of termites The feed arrived from India in early January and the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Developments Plant Protection Depart-ment has asked importers to return the goods rather than allowing it to be fumigated as usual

The department said Vietnam was free from the invasive pest and it had told Indian suppliers to fumigate the feed before it was sent because it was such a large quantity that would have been too difficult to fumigate Vietnam Feed Associationrsquos chairman Le Ba Lich said the department had previously allowed feed stock to be imported and fumigation if ter-mites were detected Read more

Dairy managers have ways to reduce feed costs maximise returns Feeding programs that minimise their costs while meeting the dairy cowrsquos nutritional needs are basic to attaining the cowrsquos genetic potential to pro-duce milk Furthermore those diets must optimise the health and repro-ductive performance of cows

In addition these rations are formulated for the environment (to meet the nitrogen and phosphorus needs of the cow) without feeding them excess amounts These days achieving these goals which do not result in im-mediate financial rewards is a tall task

As dairy managers evaluate the costs of the diets during times of es-calating feed costs they need to base those decisions on income over feed costs not feed costs alone Spending a little more in feed cost may improve profit if the cows produce more milk rebreed more quickly and remain healthy Read more

Drought wont dry up the grain supply Despite the severe drought this winter China is hoping to haul in another good harvest following seven successive record harvests of agricultural products Agriculture Minister Han Changfu said on Thursday He made the remarks in response to international concern that Chinas grain har-vest could be lower this year and that the country would need to import more as a result triggering a hike in global prices

Global grain market analysts had forecast a reduced grain harvest in China because of the drought that affected nearly 42 percent of the worlds top wheat producers wheat-growing heartland In addition to be-ing the worlds largest wheat producer China is its largest consumer The London-based International Grains Council has predicted that China will account for 17 percent of global wheat consumption this year by June 30 Read more

NOAArsquos new aquaculture policy 84 percent of seafood consumed in the United States is imported and about half of that is sourced from aquaculture Only five percent of the seafood consumed in the United States comes from domestic aquacul-ture In an effort to reduce reliance on imports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has drafted an aquaculture policy document which is open for public comment

GE-salmon ndash blessing or monster-fish It all started in the 1980rsquos when Garth Fletcher Choy Hew and Peter Davies of Memorial University in Newfoundland and Queenrsquos University in Kingston tried unsuccessfully to improve survival rate of Atlantic salmon in ice cold water by injecting it with genes of other species What howev-er succeeded was to produce in 1990 a fast growing salmon by injecting growth hormone genes from Chinook salmon and a genetic on-switch from ocean pout that causes continuous creation of the growth hormone

It takes the GE-salmon approximately 10 percent less feed and only 16 months to grow to the same size and weight which normal salmon needs three years to reach and the resulting fish are sterile To exploit their innovation they had become partners with AF Protein in a new com-pany called AquaBounty Technologies with a research facility on Prince Edward Island Canada where GE-salmon is bred and grown employing the technology developed at Memorial University in Newfoundland

They are planning to raise the GE-Atlantic salmon inland and process and ship it as table-ready fish to the US In any case the opinion is that it tastes as any high-quality Atlantic salmon Read more

Untapped crop data from Africa predicts corn peril if temperatures rise A hidden trove of historical crop yield data from Africa shows that corn long believed to tolerate hot temperatures is a likely victim of global warming Stanford agricultural scientist David Lobell and researchers at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) report in the inaugural issue of Nature Climate Change that a clear negative ef-fect of warming on maize or corn production was evident in experimental crop trial data conducted in Africa by the organisation and its partners from 1999 to 2007

Led by Lobell the researchers combined data from 20000 trials in sub-Saharan Africa with weather data recorded at stations scattered across the region They found that a temperature rise of a single degree Celsius would cause yield losses for 65 percent of the present maize-growing region in Africa provided the crops received the optimal amount of rainfall Under drought conditions the entire maize-growing region would suffer yield losses with more than 75 percent of areas predicted to decline by at least 20 percent for 1 degree Celsius of warming Read more

EU farmers hold their own well in competition with the rest of the world despite the comparatively high demands the EU places on agricultural production We have investigated the connection between animal wel-fare regulation in the EU and competitivenessPossible feeding strategies for US$8 corn

The dietary starch content recommendation for lactating dairy cows is between 23 percent and 26 percent However diets for some of the most productive herds in the US contain between 15 percent and 30 percent starch

The possibility of US$8 corn has increased interest in feeding lower-starch diets to cattle In a previous article I stressed exploring alterna-tives but purposely ignored specific examples to provide an overview of management considerations not limited to feed alone Read more

Global warming creating the perfect crop conditions The news media are flush with stories this week claiming global warm-ing is crushing global crop production According to the media global warming is putting the hurt on two of our favorite indulgences coffee and beer For the more globally conscious (or less caffeinatedless inebriated) among us the media are also focusing attention on an alleged African corn crisis

A look at facts rather than alarmist speculation however shows global warming is strongly benefiting nearly all global crops including coffee beer barley and African corn Without a doubt global warming is affect-ing global crop production The tremendous improvement in global crop production and worldwide growing conditions during recent decades is one of the most important yet least reported news events of our time Read more

UN wheat outlook is positive for feed manufacturers Firms in the animal feed manufacturing industry have been boosted by the latest United Nations (UN) report into wheat supplies The UNs food agency the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has put forward a favourable outlook for global wheat production in 2011 which should lead to lower prices for the commodity

Higher sowings and more benign weather is expected to help raise sup-ply levels of wheat as will a strong recovery in the Black Sea region that is putting cereals exports back on the agenda The FAO statement sug-gested that total global production of wheat will increase by 34 percent to 676 million tonnes in 2011 Plantings have increased or are expected to increase in many countries in response to strong prices and yield recov-eries are expected in areas that were affected by drought in 2010 Read more

National Corn Growers Association says billionaire food profiteers wrong to call farmers immoral Remarks made this week by the chairman of Nestle about the use of corn for biofuels production were not only wrong but dangerous the president of the National Corn Growers Association said At a time of economic struggle for millions of Americans any proposal that will kill jobs damage the environment and raise energy prices needs to be opposed vehe-mently

ldquoIt is scandalous ludicrous and highly irresponsible for the chairman of a global conglomerate that tripled its profits last year to talk about higher corn prices forcing millions into starvationrdquo said NCGA President Bart Schott ldquoPerhaps if Nestle is so concerned about food prices its board will consider putting more of their US$357 billion (UKpound22373 billion) in 2010 profits back into poor communities Just their profits alone represent more than half the entire farm value of the 2010 US corn croprdquo Read more

PRESS RELEASE The European Commission imposes special conditions on import of food and feed from Japan Today we received this Press Release from Fefana on the conditions be-ing imposed on the importation of feed and foodstuff from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima Nuclear power station

Following the earthquake in Japan and its impact on nuclear plants in Fukushima the European Commission has published Regulation (EU) Ndeg 2972011 imposing special import conditions for food and feed originating from Japan FEFANA understands that a number of feed business opera-tors are wondering about the possible sanitary implications in Europe of this emergency situation and has compiled the following information in or-der to help operators coping with this situation and with possible requests for certificates or particular measures

Here is the summary of the measures adopted

They apply to feedstuffs and foodstuffs as defined under Regulation 395487 (feedstuffs means products which are intended only for animal nutrition) this is interpreted as applying to all feed including specialty feed ingredients and their mixtures

They do not apply to products that left Japan before March 28 2011 or products that have been harvested andor processed before March 11 2011

The measure requires that each consignment shall be accompanied by a declaration to be issued by the Japanese authorities (standard format that is provided with the Regulation) attesting that either

product has been harvested before March 11 2011 or

the product is not originating from the prefecture of Fukushima Gunma Ibaraki Tochigi Miyagi Yamagata Niigata Nagano Yamanashi Saita-ma Tokyo and Chiba or

in the case the product is originating from one of the prefectures listed above proof of compliant analyse have to be provided with the declara-tion (caesium 134 and 137 according to the value listed above)

A single identifying code for the product must be used on the declaration and the certificate of analysis and on any document (including commer-cial ones) accompanying the consignment

Prior notification of arrival of all consignments must be provided at last two working days in advance of physical arrival to Border Inspection Point

As far as feed is concerned these permitted levels of radioactive con-tamination are limited to caesium 134 and caesium 137 (monitoring of other isotopes was deemed irrelevant based on the half-life of these and transfer rates from feed to food) as follows

1250 Bqkg for pig feedingstuffs

2500 Bqkg for poultry lamb calves feedingstuffs

5000 Bqkg for other feedingstuffs


46

The authorities at arrival shall carry out documentary checks on all consignments and shall carry out analysis (20 percent of consignments for products originating from the 12 listed prefectures and 10 percent of consignments for the other prefectures) Endorsement of the declaration by the Border control authority shall be necessary for the release for free circulation Costs for these control are at charge of the feedfood busi-ness operator Non-conform products shall be disposed of or returned to Japan Member States shall keep the Commission informed of all analyti-cal results obtained The measures entered into force on March 27 2011 shall be in place until June 30 2011 and the Regulation will be subject to regular review

FEFANA appreciates the proportionality and focus of the measures taken Since the earthquake FEFANA has put itself in a vigilance status regard-ing this issue We launched with our members a proactive control phase and have recommended to all members to reinforce and take this aspect in their HACCP processes as covered under their FAMI-QS certification and of course giving full cooperation to the official controls that are being established by the EU sanitary authorities It was also recommended that operators inform their customers about the fact that they included this risk in their HACCP processes and inform them about the results and meas-ures taken

About FEFANA

FEFANA is the EU Association of Specialty Feed Ingredients and their Mixtures Established on October 13 2004 FEFANA is the new juridi-cal form of the feed additives operators association which was originally founded in 1963 With more than 100 Members from 28 countries the As-sociation is the interface between the specialty feed ingredients industry and the European Union authorities including Member States authorities in order to promote safeguard and defend common and general interests of the industry (in several topics like guidelines register labelling and definitions analysis feed hygiene and food chain safety or non-feed use of additives) FEFANArsquos current President is Dr Frank Chmitelin of Adis-seo

Japanese feed industry making significant strides According to the United States Grains Council the Japanese feed indus-try is making significant strides to regain its production capacity to near normal within the next few months

Assuming significant escalation of the nuclear power plant issues will not arise and in spite of the horrendous losses suffered in Japan the Council believes the consumer demand in Japan will remain strong and will drive continued imports of US coarse grains said Tommy Hamamoto USGC director in Japan In the short-term logistical issues will continue to be a problem but the Japanese feed industry is working hard to recover from the damage By April or May the Council is hopeful Japan will recover and return to somewhat normalcy

Crop yield improved by removing manure solids Manure has long been used as a crop fertiliser but the challenge of find-ing an efficient use of the nutrients found in manure is ever present The ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus in manure is low in relation to the nutrient needs of most crops Therefore crops tend to be overloaded with manure to meet the nitrogen requirement of agricultural crops but the excess phosphorus from the process can damage the environment

In a study funded by agriculture and Agri-Food Canada scientists at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Center in Agassiz British Colombia with collaborators in Quebec City Quebec and Brandon Manitoba tested the effectiveness of removing solids from dairy manure to improve yield by increasing the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio and reducing the loss of nitrogen by hastening soil infiltration Read more
