{"title":"Deepening Seven Steps of Development for Traditional Distributors in Poultry Feed Industry--With DSM ANH Channel Management as an Example","authors":"Hermes Kang","doi":"10.11648/j.avs.20231105.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.avs.20231105.11","url":null,"abstract":"This article summarizes the development plans of traditional distributors in the poultry feed industry, including the layout and distribution of poultry feed marketing channels. The in-depth development of businesses is elaborated in steps, which has certain reference value for promoting channels and brand coverage in the traditional poultry farming industry. The author of this article has been mainly engaged in channel research in China's aquaculture industry for more than 15 years, trying to find a channel that best matches China's agricultural and animal husbandry industry. In improving the company's channel model, we have made use of 23 major laying hen breeding provinces, 237 townships and nearly 700 laying hen terminal dealers visited in 9 years of practical work. Collect a large number of on-site sample data, combined with my channel management theory. Using quantitative and qualitative analysis and quantitative research methods combined with experience summary methods, a complete set of professional papers suitable for the seven-step development of traditional dealers is created. This article uses research methods such as literature analysis, interviews, and induction. Firstly, point out the current situation of distributors; Analyzing the problems in dealer development and management, it is found that there are a series of problems in dealer development, such as unclear goals, unclear responsibilities, lack of development methods, as well as a lack of performance assessment, motivation, and maintenance strategies in management. Based on this issue, according to the theoretical principles of terminal demand, a seven step deep development strategy and implementation method should be proposed according to the channel architecture. Finally, establish a data-driven management method for performance evaluation of cooperating dealers, increase cooperation enthusiasm through incentive policies for product prices and channel promotions, maintain cooperation relationships through the establishment of channel dealer loyalty and channel conflict management, establish competitive advantages of channels, and establish a set of channel development theories and methods that can be promoted and used.","PeriodicalId":7842,"journal":{"name":"Animal and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136377756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-five yearling intact male sheep were assigned to one of the five treatments in a randomized complete block design. The dietary treatments were <i>ad libitum</i> fodder oat hay alone (T1) and <i>ad libitum</i> fodder oat hay supplemented with 350g hay of Gebisa, Lalisa, Abdeta and <i>Vicia sativa</i> vetch varieties for T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. The Digestibility trial lasted for 10 days. Supplementation of the vetch varieties increased dry matter digestibility by 11.6 and 1.9% for T2 and T3, respectively and by 3.6% for T4 and T5 compared to the control. Among the supplemented groups, supplementation of Gebisa vetch variety (T2) induced the highest (65.2%) dry matter digestibility. Supplementation of the vetch varieties increased the crude protein digestibility by 15.3, 6.2, 5.9 and 8.2% for T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively compared to the un-supplemented treatment. Among the supplemented treatments, T2 induced significantly higher (P<0.001) crude protein digestibility than T3, T4 and T5. In conclusion, supplementation of Gebisa vetch variety (T2) induced highest dry matter and nutrient digestibility than all other treatments. Therefore, Gebisa vetch variety should be introduced and scaled up widely for sheep feeding.","PeriodicalId":7842,"journal":{"name":"Animal and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134970360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Milk is the most widely consumed food in the world, containing proteins, fats, lactose, and various vitamins and minerals. Milk's solids content has a direct impact on both its nutritional and economic value. The milk composition trait performances had obtained in the range from 3.5±0.0038 to 6.1±0.05 for fat percentage, 3.07±0.03 to 4.7±0.09 for protein percentage, 3.3 to 5.52±1.71 for lactose content, 12.16±0.14 to 16.02±0.05 for total solid content and 8.47±0.1 to 9.37±0.24 for the solid not fat content of cow milk, respectively. The composition of cow milk is influenced by breed, animal age and health, lactation phase, nutrition, season, milking method, number of lactations, and individual cows. The heritability of milk composition trait ranged from 0.24 to 0.49±0.03 for fat percentage, 0.28 to 0.53±0.009 for protein percentage, 0.41±0.04 to 0.59 for total solid content and 0.17 to 0.68 for the solid not fat content of cow milk, respectively. The repeatability of fat, protein, total solid and solid not fat percentage of bovine milk ranged between 3.9 to 0.98, 0.4 to 0.99, 0.49 to 0.99 and 0.23 to 0.78, respectively. The genetic and phenotypic correlation between fat and solid not fat of cow milk were weakly positive (0.16±0.15, 0.06 ±0.04), whereas a strong positive relationship was found between protein content and solid not fat of cow milk (0.99±0.05, 0.67±0.03), respectively. Enhancing milk compositional quality through genetic selection based on individual performance is successful.","PeriodicalId":7842,"journal":{"name":"Animal and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90820653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Missohou, N. Slimane","doi":"10.11648/j.avs.20231103.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.avs.20231103.11","url":null,"abstract":": The intensification of livestock production in response to the growing demand for animal products is increasingly creating new challenges in terms of control of livestock management and feeding, and especially reproduction. Also, ewes are often considered responsible for infertility problems in a sheep flock, as the reproductive capacity of rams is often taken for granted. However, it is important to have genetically superior males to improve the overall fertility of the herd. And, one way to control the sexual performance of rams and improve their fertilizing capacity, is to have them undergo melatonin treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the use of melatonin implants on testicular and spermatic parameters of rams raised in stations in the Niayes area of Senegal. The experimental herd consisted of 6 rams of well-known body characteristics which were followed for 2 months during which testicular measurements were carried out at the beginning and semen was collected by electroejaculation every 2 weeks. After a break of 2 weeks, the same rams are implanted with melatonin (MELOVINE ®) at a rate of 3 implants/ram, i.e. a dose of 54 mg of melatonin per ram, and the same measurements and semen collections are again carried out for 2 months. Data on antero-posterior testicular diameter, testicular weight, scrotal circumference, and semen analysis (volume, color, appearance, mass and individual motility, concentration, morphology) recorded and processed with Excel were exported to the SPSS software where they were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and independent sample comparison testing. The results showed that melatonin treatment significantly reduced weight (555±155 g vs. 396±128 g) and antero-posterior diameter (23.42±2.0 cm vs. 20.10±2.26 cm). However, it induced improvements in ejaculate volume, color, and appearance, sperm production, and morphological abnormality rate, and, most significantly, sperm motility (2.1±1.5 vs. 3.3±1.2) and survival rate (54±34% vs. 80±31%) of spermatozoa. Melatonin has therefore improved the sperm characteristics of rams, and is an interesting reproductive management tool for improving the productivity of sheep farms. It can be recommended for use in artificial insemination centres in order to improve the characteristics of the semen doses produced.","PeriodicalId":7842,"journal":{"name":"Animal and Veterinary Sciences","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78747848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
