The nine weeks I have spent here at NADEC really allowed me to progress in life and in my learning ability. The whole duration spent in NADEC really made me look forward to one day being able to work in a similar business environment or hopefully here someday. The time spent here has allowed to achieve the goals I wanted to achieve and satisfy the objectives and goals I was looking to achieve in that period. The program started on June 15th and finished on the 31th of August, it was mostly held in

GMOs and Their Benefits For Consumers Brendan Kienlen Abstract Genetically modified organisms are a breakthrough in biotechnology, and yet they have been met with scrutiny from a large portion of the public. While a recent one trillion meal study found no correlation between GMOs and various diseases, some still believe they have a negative impact on people. Instead of taking the traditional route and disproving the argument that GMOs are harmful, I decided to research some benefits they

Enzymes in Industry Enzymes are described as chemical a catalyst that is they speed up the rate of reaction. Enzymes have enormous potential in the commercial world. They are cheap to use in industry and they do not need high temperatures to work. They work at neutral PH and normal atmospheric pressure. This reduces the costs of fuel in industry and are energy saving. Also, enzymes can be reused. This means that they are needed in relatively small amounts in comparison

Nitrogen is one of the main biogeochemical elements, around which a cycle supports life on Earth. Nitrogen can be found in many forms, one of which is nitrite, a toxic chemical that can produce severe abnormalities in animals (Binta and Mushi, 2012). Nitrite is formed from nitrate by micro-organisms and bacteria present in soil, water, saliva, and the large intestine of most animals. These micro-organisms are present in high amounts in ruminants such as cows, which poses serious implications on the

1. General Product Information Product: Cheese Background and General Information: ‘The word cheese comes from Latin Caseus, from which the modern word casein is also derived’. Cheese is a by-product of the milk of usually either cows or goats, formed from the curds of the milk protein casein that are produced after the acidification of milk. It is produced by acidifying the milk by adding vinegar or lemon to the milk. Bacteria also acidify milk by turning the sugars in milk into lactic acid. The

When it comes to selecting a herd sire, picking the right bull is key, but do EPDs tell the whole story? Brett Foster said the story of the dam is often left untold, but it’s perhaps the most important chapter in the book. “I’ve heard horse guys talk for years that if you have a good mare, you can breed her to anything,” Brett said. “If you have a mediocre mare, it doesn’t matter what you breed her to, you are going to have a mediocre colt. I think cows are the same way; you’ve got to have a good

2005, 325). Ethanol is not a clean fuel, and it is causing more pollution than gasoline does. Ethanol strains corn consumption, because corn is so important that it is used for so many different things. Animal feed is mostly made of corn and corn silage. Ethanol causes shortages in other crops like corn and cotton. On top of that, ethanol is not only not a good fuel, but it isn’t a clean soil, adding health risks by releasing toxic chemical fumes. With all those factors ethanol should not be used

Venegas-Vargas et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional study of STEC shedding in dairy and beef cattle herds in Michigan. STEC was found to be more prevalent in beef cattle (21%) versus dairy cattle (13%). Factors significantly associated with STEC shedding in dairy cattle included when maximum average temperatures exceeded 28.9C 1-5 days prior to sampling; animals in their first lactation; and animals less than 30 days in lactation. The authors suggested that possible control strategies could
