Status and key developments in Iran dairy Industry

Introduction of Five Well-Known Ayurvedic Medicinal Plants as Feed Additive on Livestock's Performance: A Review

There are two principle reasons behind the changes in legislation on the use of in-feed antibiotic growth promoters. The first is to try to combat the development of microbial resistance to antibiotic drugs and the consequences on human health. The second is a response to consumer pressures to eliminate the use of all non-plant xenobiotic agents from the diets of animals, so natural resources of medicine like phyto-medicines can help smallholders in rural areas to manage their only income resources from diseases and mortality. This review introduces five most common ethno-veterinary plants named; Asparagus racemosus willd. (Shatavari), Leptadenia reticulata (Retz.) Wight & Arn. (Jivanti), Cuminum cyminum Linn. (Jeeraka), Nigella sativa L. (Kalajaji) and Pueraria tubero...

Production and trade of camel products in some Middle East countries

The comparative advantages of the camel as a dairy animal over the other species in the same environment are difficult to quantify; however in absolute terms, it is widely recognized that the camel produces more milk for a longer period of time than any other animal under the same condition. Camel meat and milk are utilized in some Arabic and African countries and also Iranian people, in marginal of desert, use the camel meat. At present, there are about 148000 camels in Iran that mainly are dromedary (one humped camel). This number can potentially increase by 600000. Camel raising must not only be socially acceptable, but also economically viable, so management of camel farming must be taken into consideration to increase the farmer income. This study aimed to clarify the performance of production as well as trade of camel population and products in some Middle East countries. Data were collected by FAO statistics (FAO, 2011) which is available online through this organization's formal website for the period of 2000 to 2010. As a result, there has been a growing tendency to meet demand, particularly for milk, through imports. Thus, understanding the interrelationships and conflicts between objectives and policies is a critical step towards designing and implementing more effective incentive systems. It was concluded that the meat and dairy production system of camel in the Middle East countries, especially Iran, regrettably received little attention because of unknown profit abilities of this animal.
