Do you know about our sustainable standards? Our sustainable breeding goal is 16 piglets total born, 15 piglets born alive, 14 piglets weaned. Any increase in total born must be accompanied by the same (or more) increase in born alive and weaned. If the sow cannot farrow and raise extra piglets, it is not sustainable improvement.

The beauty of spring is the awakening of nature. Trees turn green and grass starts growing again. And with that, the Lely Exos gets back into action. Lely Exos is the first autonomous solution that harvests and feeds fresh grass multiple times a day, 24/7. Letting cows benefit from the proteins and energy that come with fresh grass, taking away labour from the farmer. #lely #farminginnovators #lelyexos #freshgrassfeeding

𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀! Just wrapped up an insightful training on dry cattle feeding at OSI Poland Foodworks, blending both theory and practice to tackle the evolving challenges beef production is facing. The training highlighted the 𝗗𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺—an innovative approach focused on optimizing beef production while minimizing environmental impacts. We explored the program's core benefits, success factors, and practical applications, including the use of a Carbon Footprint Calculator to ensure sustainability throughout the dry feeding system. “This ongoing collaboration with De Heus is paving the way for more sustainable development, optimized breeding practices, and a continuous supply of high-quality beef. We’re excited to see where this journey takes us!” – says Adrian Piotrowski, managing director of OSI Poland Foodworks. #OSIEurope #Foodworks #DeHeus #SustainableFarming #BeefProduction #DryFeeding #CarbonFootprint #AgricultureInnovation

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Similarly, we can't force our flies to mate. Instead, we focus on what we can control – creating the perfect environment and optimising all influencing factors. By meticulously managing inputs, we ensure consistent egg laying and neonate production. Let us be the reliable input for your BSF production process. How do you manage factors beyond direct control in your business? #inputs #outputs #bsf #bsfbreeding #bsfl #insectindustry #agriculture #businessinsights #bsfbreeding

One of our customers, Regenerate Outcomes, works with farmers across the UK to build profitable, resilient farms from healthy soil. In May, they are hosting the Understanding Ag Soil Academy. Each #SoilAcademyUK will occur over two days and will be led by experienced regenerative farmers combining practical know-how with scientific knowledge. Learn how to: - Increase farm profitability by improving soil, plant and animal health - Take control by reducing reliance on subsidies and inputs - Increase resilience to changing weather and the economy - Carry out and interpret soil health tests - Improve field observational skills The team will lead the sessions from Understanding Ag, LLC - Experts in Regenerative Ag, who work with farmers worldwide to build profitable, resilient farms. Mentors will also include 2023 Soil Farmer of the Year Stuart Johnson, from Northumberland, and Ian Gould, from Oakbank Game & Conservation Ltd, who will attend the Oxfordshire event. Abby Rose from Sector Mentor will present on how to monitor soil health, and, in Northumberland, Lee-Anne Oliver from The Fold Farm Vets Limited will discuss the links between soil and animal health. 👉 Book your place with Regenerate Outcomes (Link in comments) Oxfordshire Soil Academy, FarmED, - 13 & 14 May Northumberland Soil Academy, Nafferton Farm - 16 & 17 May #SoilHealth #SoilScience #LoveYourSoil #BritishFarming #ResilientFarms #Farming #RegenerativeFarming #SustainableAgriculture #UKFarming #BackBritishFarming

Have you seen #hemp #leaves like this? We're continually amazed by the #genetic #diversity we come across in our #breeding program. Today, we're spotlighting a standout trait: exceptionally #large #leaves with high #leaflet counts and interesting primary and secondary serrations The leaf pictured measures over 24cm (9.5 inches) in length and displays an impressive 15 leaflets. These large leaves are more than just noticeable. They may be significant for their potential #photosynthesis. Larger leaves with more leaflets can capture an increased amount of sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis. This #trait may work for breeding varieties for specific climate zones but not for everywhere. It’s important to consider how leaf size not only aids in photosynthesis but also affects water use efficiency (WUE). Bigger leaves can mean greater light absorption but might also lead to increased water loss through #transpiration. The goal in breeding is to find a balance, developing varieties that maintain efficient #photosynthesis while optimising #WUE. This includes traits like controlled stomatal opening or protective waxy coatings on leaves to reduce water loss. We’re eager to engage with other hemp enthusiasts and cultivators. Have you come across leaves with similar sizes and leaflet numbers? How do these traits affect #photosynthesis, #yield, and #WUE in your experience? We like to share our breeding notes with the community on this. #Hemp #Cannabis #HempGenTech #HGT

Looking after your lawn and local wildlife? Opt for organic or low-toxicity fertilisers that are safe for pets and native animals? Here are some steps to keep your furry and feathered friends safe: • Keep granular and liquid fertilisers out of pets' reach as granules can be mistaken for food, and liquids for water. • Keep pets off the lawn for at least 24 hours after applying granular fertiliser, and at least a few hours if you are using a liquid fertiliser. • Chickens and native birds can access granules easily, so wait a few days before giving them access or use liquid fertilisers • Double check and follow product labels on any fertiliser you are using. #EcoFriendlyLawnCare #PetSafe #RosemountTurf #LSA #Fertilising #LawnFertiliser

Hatchery staff has an impossible task when it comes to deformity screening - especially when the species they are working with is relatively new to the world of aquaculture. With remediation and release programs, they must decide whether or not a fish is fit to tag, rear in captivity, and then release into the wild based on just gross external features. But gross external features are perhaps the least important aspects of a fishes' health and fitness. What is really important about an animals fitness to survive in the wild cannot be evaluated by a simple gross exam. A simple gross exam tells you nothing about an animals musculoskeletal system, nothing about its eye sight, or sense of smell, cognitive abilities, nerve conduction velocity, swimming speed, lateral line senses, digestive capacity, or immune system function. All a gross deformity exam does is tell you how pretty a fish is. [ Of course, how good you look goes a long way in California. ] For release programs designed to augment wild fish stocks, the only real judge of fitness to survive is Mother Nature. Flawed humans can cull out the worst individuals from a group, but will never be able to pick out which will survive post-release. Hatcheries can achieve some measure of success by releasing millions of fish and then hoping that at least some will survive. [Of course it does help if you have a clean source of water, good broodstock, and the appropriate diet.]
