Dear Domestic Dragons Trust, I’m writing about my recent experiences with my new “pocket dragon”. Which I’m starting to suspect might not be one.

About six months ago I acquired my dragon after years of wanting and saving for one. He’s a male with scarlet red scales, blue highlights and large pointed horns. The breeder at the time seemed reputable and had official paperwork for him upon purchase. He’s been a darling little menace so far, but I’ve been noticing some very bizarre traits of his that don’t add up. First off, he’s Huge! He’s almost quadrupled in size since I got him and his growth is not slowing down. He’s refuses to eat any fruit or cream, only wanting meat and poultry (which he incinerates upon receiving). He’s much more aggressive about his hoard and especially gold, to the point I need welding equipment to separate things from him he’s not supposed to have.

Did I get some bizarre off breed of pocket dragon, or is he something else I need to be concerned about. I love the little guy dearly either way but I’d like to know if he really is a pocket dragon or not?

Hello,

I'm afraid it does sound like your dragon might be a crossbreed. This does happen sometimes, even with breeders who are careful, because dragons are quite crafty and wild dragons do still roam about in some places. It sounds like your dragon might be half firedrake.

We recommend going back to the breeder and asking for their help. If they care about their reputation at all, they will be willing to help you figure out how this could have happened. Knowing what type of crossbreed your dragon can help provide you with the necessary information to keep taking care of them.

It's not illegal to keep a crossbreed dragon like this, but unlike pocket dragons you do need a liscence for them, and you can only keep them in urban areas under the following conditions:

The dragon has been treated with a fire safety spell.

The dragon is no larger than a horse.

The dragon has been (magically) chipped.

Of course you'll also need to be able to house and feed him, which can certainly be a challenge for bigger dragons. If it turns out keeping him at your home is too difficult or too risky, you could house him at a Magical Menagerie, but renting a stable or kennel there can be very expensive.

If worst comes to worst you can bring him to us and we can figure out how to house him at one of our locations. Hopefully close enough for you to come visit and possible train with him!

Best of luck,

~ The Domestic Dragon Trust

In August 1963, the Dutchveterinarian Dan (E.H.) Kampelmacher stepped on a plane to Lima, the capital of Peru. His destination: smelly factories in Lima’s port city which ground up tiny anchovy fish from the Pacific Ocean into huge amounts of animal feed. Peru exported one fifth of this ‘fishmeal’ to the Netherlands, where farmers used it to feed their quickly rising numbers of chickens and pigs in new intensive livestock or ‘factory’ farms. [...]

The ports of Lima and Rotterdam connected the ecosystems of Peruvian fishmeal plants and Dutch farms. [...] [H]ardly anyone showed any interest in what the stuff was made of. Although Dutch farmers had started to refer to their new industrial poultry and pig farms as ‘landless’ at this point in time, they did not intend this phrase to mean their growing dependence on oceans rather than land. Rather, it characterized a fundamental change in livestock farming: in the postwar era farmers could increase their numbers of animals independently of the area of land they had for growing feed. The phrase ‘landless’ erased from view that these farms in fact depended on places elsewhere on the planet. [...] [T]he fish, called “anchoveta” [were] from the Humboldt Current ecosystem [...].

Fishmeal was invisible, despite its crucial importance for two interrelated major changes in the Netherlands and the global north in general: the rise of intensive livestock farming, and the unprecedented increase in the consumption of meat and eggs. [...] How did fishmeal and its environmental impacts connect industrial livestock farming in the global north to its production places in the global south [...]? [...]

---

Shadow places are ‘all those places that produce or are affected by the commodities you consume, places consumers don’t know about, don’t want to know about, and in a commodity regime don’t ever need to know about or take responsibility for’. It is very similar to the ‘ghost acres’ concept used by environmental and global historians: the acres of land countries used elsewhere on the planet [...]. Cushman analyses the rise of the Peruvian fishmeal industry as another case of what he calls ‘neo-ecological imperialism’: the ‘Blue Revolution’ [...], to stress the connection between fishmeal production in the Pacific World and the rise of industrial livestock farming in the global north. [...]

Fishmeal fed the twentieth-century shift to industrial livestock farming – the Netherlands was among the top three fishmeal importers internationally from 1954 to 1972. [...] Animal proteins – and fishmeal in particular – played an essential role in this shift to industrial livestock farming [...]. But for poultry and pigs, animal proteins were an ‘indispensable ingredient’ [...]. Internationally, fishery landings tripled in the period 1950–1973 due to the rise in fishmeal production for animal feed. [...] During the Peruvian fishmeal boom from 1958 until 1970, [...] [t]he livestock sector started to refer to it explicitly as ‘Peru fishmeal’ [...]. The Netherlands was the second-largest importer after the USA in 1955 [...].

---

According to Cushman and Wintersteen, the spectacular rise of the Peruvian fishmeal industry was the result of [...] international interest in the Peruvian stocks of small fish suitable for fishmeal production, interest from the USA in particular.

After the collapse of the Californian fishmeal industry shortly after the Second World War, industrial fishmeal plants in Peru were realised with American marine expertise, investments by American industrialists, subsidiaries of American companies like Cargill and Ralston Purina, and second-hand American fishmeal equipment and technology. [...]

As a result, the Peruvian fishery industry changed radically during the 1950s. Rather than a being a by-product of fish canneries, fishmeal became its core focus. [...] [A]nd industrialists moved in entire fishmeal plants from the USA and Scandinavia. These plants could turn 5.4 tons of fish into a ton of fishmeal at the peak of the industry [...].

---

Angola exported fishmeal under Portuguese colonial rule (until 1975), and South Africa exported fishmeal during Apartheid (until 1994). In Chile the neoliberal dictatorship of general Augusto Pinochet (1973–1990) gave fishmeal industrialists free rein again from 1973 onwards, and Chile had replaced Peru as the major fishmeal exporter by 1980.

Social inequality was exacerbated [...]. Fishmeal industrialists made enormous amounts of money, and stock exchanges in the global north enabled speculation on fishmeal. Simultaneously, workers in the fishmeal plants were poorly paid and lived in slums with no paved roads, running water or electricity, unhealthy conditions and polluted air. Fishmeal’s volatile market resulted in labour unrest during the 1960s in Peru, and during the 1980s in Chile. [...] Many factories were moved to less-regulated places along the coast, taking the air pollution and resulting public health problems with them. One of these places was the city of Chimbote, which quickly grew into the largest fishmeal city of Peru, and became ‘one of the nation’s … most polluted cities’. [...] One place impacted by the feeding of fish to farm animals was in particular in shadows: the marine ecosystems from which the tiny fish were taken, like the Pacific Humboldt Current along the coast of Peru and Chile. [...]

The ocean ecosystems in the global south exploited to feed the industrial livestock sector in the north remained largely invisible. [...] The disappearance of the Peruvian anchoveta also made the ‘protein crisis’ move north. The Dutch livestock sector referred to the ‘true emergency situation’ of the Peruvian fishmeal crisis as the ‘protein crisis’ (‘de eiwit-crisis’). [...] But in 1972–1973 the Humboldt Current marine ecosystem created its own shadow places in both the north and the south. The extraordinary strong El Niño led to the sudden disappearance of the anchovy population [...].

First—A School Farm

By 1993, Paul Weertz, who was a member of the Detroit Agriculture Network and the biology teacher at the Catherine Ferguson Academy (CFA), set out to transform the playground at the school into an urban farmstead. CFA is a public high school that serves young women who are pregnant or who have young children. The farm chores helped make the biology lessons real to these urban high schoolers, and the animal husbandry helped teach them lessons about the importance of proper care and nurturing for their own babies.

Over the years, CFA’s two-acre farm has become one of the jewels of Detroit’s urban agriculture movement. It consists of a central pasture with a modest shelter for horses and the occasional steer that the farm raises. Surrounding the pasture are students’ vegetable plots and a seed-saving garden. Closer to the school is a small barn that was constructed by students and volunteers a few years ago, for storage of hay and equipment. A grant two years ago allowed the farm to install a small wind turbine on the barn’s roof to power the lights in the barn.

Most accessible from the school is the barnyard which houses the poultry coops, a duck/goose pen with pond, cages for about 20 rabbits, a shed and pens for the milking goats (currently only three, but at times as many as seven), and a stall currently occupied by a visiting pygmy pig. A hoop house for extended-season growing sits nearby, surrounded by flower gardens. To the west of the pasture are a series of fruit tree orchards, and behind them are the beehives. On the north side of the farm, The Greening of Detroit organization has a fruit tree nursery, from which it removes about 1/3 of the trees each year to transplant to community gardens.

During the school year, the young women who are students at CFA do all of the animal care chores. On weekends, a small army of volunteers from across the metro area turns out to feed and water the livestock, milk the goats, harvest vegetables and fruit and press cider for sale after school on Thursdays, etc., all anxious to be a part of the growing urban farm movement.

Children younger than 5 years of age, elderly persons or people with weak immune systems shouldn't handle or touch chicks or other live poultry.

Salmonella is one bacteria found in animals that can cause diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps and other severe symptoms in humans. All poultry are a common source of the germ. Young children, the elderly, pregnant women and those with a weakened immune system are at an increased risk of developing severe symptoms from Salmonella. Because birds are soft and cute, many people want to touch, hold or even snuggle them but this behavior can be risky because the birds can have germs on their body and in their droppings.

The germs are also found where birds live such as in bird cages and coops. If someone puts their hands in or near their mouth after handling birds or touching the bird environment, they can become infected.

Children younger than 5 years of age, elderly persons or people with weak immune systems shouldn’t handle or touch chicks or other live poultry.

After touching live poultry or anything in the area where they are found, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. If soap and water aren’t available, use hand sanitizer.

Don’t let live poultry inside the house, in bathrooms or in areas where food or drink is prepared, served or stored.

Don’t eat or drink around live poultry, touch with the mouth or hold closely to the face.

Clean equipment or materials used in caring for live poultry outside the house, such as cages or feed or water containers.

Thank you.

I am starting to wonder if those rumors about child services being called on them are true too. After all she was in a moving vehicle with her toddler without a seal belt and without a car seat. Both of which are required by law. Exposing an infant, who isn't unto date on their vaccines, to live poultry seems just the kind of reckless behavior she'd partake in. Allegedly.

Strengthening Poultry Farm Biosecurity in Narsipur with Acidifiers, Disinfectants, and Fumigation

Poultry farming in Narsipur is considered to be an essential backbone of the local economy. However, it has encountered problems such as an outbreak of poultry diseases or environmental stressors. Biosecurity has been considered as one integral part of maintaining flocks health and farm success. Some integral constituents of biosecurity measures that include acidifiers, Disinfectant, and fumigation are hereby discussed. These products help in having a healthy poultry with reduced disease spread chances and increase the productivity level of any farm.

Acidifiers: Gut Health Improvement Acidifiers are used in poultry feed and water, which helps in maintaining gut pH in a bird. Organic acids from citric acid or formic acid keep a balance in gut flora, giving various important benefits.

Better Digestion: Acidifiers enable the growth of good bacteria and inhibit the harmful pathogens by lowering the pH value in the gut. Higher nutrient absorption leads to higher digestive efficiency.

Immunity Boost: Acidifiers help set up a healthier gut environment by boosting the immune system of the bird. Since there are fewer harmful bacteria, poultry have less chance of being infected by diseases.

Better Feed Conversion: Acidifiers work to optimize feed efficiency, so it means that poultry can gain weight faster with less feed. This has the effect of saving on the cost of the farmers and increases the profitability in poultry operations.

Disinfectants: Fighting Pathogens and Maintaining Cleanliness Good aspect of poultry farming regarding preventing diseases is cleanliness. Sanitizers make sure that such devastating pathogens as viruses, bacteria, and fungi that cause massive damage to the birds are kept from the farm environment.

Avian influenza, salmonella, Newcastle disease, and other agents are killed by Disinfectant with excellent efficacy at surfaces, equipment, and water systems. Preventing one group of poultry from spread of the disease to others could thus be achieved by the help of disinfectants.

Prevention of cross-contamination: The tools, cages, and feed area are regularly disinfected to ensure that harmful pathogens are not transferred from one part of the farm to another and make the whole flock safe.

Total Farm Hygiene: Clean farms reduce stress in poultry and lead to better growth, high egg production, and feed conversion.

Fumigation: Pest control Fumigation is a very potent method in controlling pests, like rodents, insects, and mites, that are known to carry disease-causing germs, bringing stresses on poultry. Penetrating the cracks and crevices where they live would ensure total treatment of the poultry environment.

Control of the Pest: A pest may seem such a nuisance but a rather dangerous entity at times. Fumigation led to reduced infestation levels by rats and insects, meaning, consequently, fewer diseases that came to poultry.

Improved Fungus Mold and Mildew Growth Control: The treatment increases the control of the growth of the pathogen fungus mold and mildew, which is harmful to the air quality in chicken houses and causes respiratory illness in birds with its appearance. Conclusion: A Comprehensive Biosecurity Strategy Introducing Acidifiers, disinfectants, and fumigation to the routine work schedules of poultry farmers of Narsipur in order to proactively work for the health and biosecurity aspect, which in turn means healthy birds that yield more and also have decreased outbreaks, making them very productive and raising profit margins and, on top of it all, giving poultry farming assurance with operations through sustainability in the operation at Narsipur.

1. Leading Soybean Producing Countries

The global soybean market is primarily driven by a few key producing countries. The top producers and exporters of soybeans are:

United States: The U.S. has long been a leader in soybean production, particularly in states like Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The U.S. accounts for nearly one-third of global soybean exports, with China being its largest customer.

Brazil: In recent years, Brazil has become the world's largest producer of soybeans, surpassing the U.S. in production volume. The country benefits from a favorable climate for soybean cultivation and has rapidly expanded its agricultural land in the Mato Grosso region. Brazil is also the largest exporter of soybeans, and the growth of its infrastructure, such as ports and logistics networks, has helped it become a dominant player in the global soybean trade.

Argentina: Argentina is another major producer and exporter of soybeans, known for its high-quality crops. Soybeans play a significant role in Argentina’s economy, especially in the export of soybean meal and oil.

China: While China is the largest importer of soybeans globally, it also produces a significant amount of soybeans domestically, primarily in the northeastern and central regions. However, the domestic production is insufficient to meet its demand, which is why China heavily imports soybeans from other countries.

2. Key Soybean Products and Their Uses

Soybeans are incredibly versatile, and their by-products serve a wide range of industries. The key products derived from soybeans include:

Soybean Oil: Soybean oil is the most widely used edible oil globally, employed in cooking, frying, salad dressings, and as a key ingredient in processed food products. It is also used in non-food industries such as biodiesel production, paints, lubricants, and soaps.

Soybean Meal: This by-product of oil extraction is used primarily in animal feed, particularly for poultry, livestock, and aquaculture. Soybean meal is highly valued for its high protein content, making it an essential ingredient in feed formulations.

Tofu and Tempeh: These traditional Asian products made from soybeans are gaining popularity in Western countries as more people adopt plant-based diets. Tofu and tempeh are used as meat substitutes in vegetarian and vegan diets due to their high protein content.

Soy Milk: Soy milk is a widely consumed dairy alternative, especially in vegan and lactose-intolerant populations. It is used as a base for various beverages, desserts, and products like soy yogurt.

Soy Protein Isolate: Soy protein isolate, a refined form of soy protein, is used in health supplements, protein bars, and meat alternatives, particularly in products such as veggie burgers, soy sausages, and plant-based burgers.

Soy Lecithin: A by-product of soybean oil extraction, soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier in food products such as chocolates, baked goods, and margarine. It also has applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

3. The Role of Soybeans in Global Trade

Soybeans play a crucial role in international trade, especially between the world's largest producing countries (the U.S., Brazil, and Argentina) and major importers like China and the European Union. Trade policies and tariffs can significantly impact the global flow of soybeans, as seen during the U.S.-China trade war (2018-2020), when China imposed tariffs on U.S. soybeans, affecting trade volumes.

Moreover, geopolitical instability or climate-related disasters in key production regions, such as droughts in Brazil or floods in the U.S., can cause volatility in global soybean prices. Additionally, trade agreements like the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) or the Mercosur-European Union trade deal have significant implications for soybean exports and global market prices.

4. The Impact of Consumer Trends on Soybean Products

As more consumers shift towards plant-based diets, the demand for soy products is increasing. Meat alternatives, particularly plant-based burgers and sausages, are a driving force behind this trend. Companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, which use soy protein in their products, are reshaping the food industry.

The dairy-free movement is also boosting demand for soy milk and other soy-based dairy alternatives, which offer a nutritious, lactose-free alternative to traditional cow's milk. This trend is expected to expand globally as more consumers seek healthier, environmentally friendly food options.

What is a Fish Meal Dryer?

A fish meal dryer is a machine specifically designed to dry fish meal to the desired moisture level, typically around 10%. The drying process is crucial as it prevents microbial growth and spoilage, thereby extending the shelf life of the fish meal. Fish meal dryers come in various types, including rotary drum dryers, disc dryers, and fluidized bed dryers, each with unique characteristics and advantages.

Features of a Fish Meal Dryer

1. Efficient Drying Capability: Fish meal dryers are built to handle large volumes of wet fish meal efficiently. They utilize advanced drying technologies to ensure uniform and consistent drying, which is essential for maintaining product quality.

2. Energy Efficiency: Modern fish meal dryers are designed to be energy-efficient. They use heat recovery systems and other technologies to minimize energy consumption, making the drying process more cost-effective.

3. Durability and Robustness: Given the demanding nature of fish meal production, fish meal dryers are constructed from durable materials that can withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments. This ensures long-term reliability and minimal downtime.

4. Environmental Considerations: Many fish meal dryers are equipped with pollution control systems to reduce emissions and comply with environmental regulations. This makes them a more sustainable choice for fish meal producers.

How Does a Fish Meal Dryer Work?

1. Feeding: The wet fish meal is fed into the dryer through a conveyor or feeder system. This ensures a steady and controlled flow of material into the dryer.

2. Drying Process: Inside the dryer, the fish meal is exposed to hot air or other drying agents. The specific mechanism depends on the type of dryer used:

Rotary Drum Dryers: The fish meal is tumbled in a rotating drum where it is heated and dried by hot air.

Disc Dryers: The fish meal is spread across heated discs that rotate, facilitating even drying.

Fluidized Bed Dryers: The fish meal is suspended in a stream of hot air, which dries it quickly and uniformly.

3. Moisture Reduction: As the fish meal passes through the dryer, the moisture content is gradually reduced to the desired level. This step is critical for preventing spoilage and ensuring the fish meal's stability.

Its advantages are simple structure, convenient maintenance, and suitable for small-scale and medium-scale production. It is suitable for processing some feeds with larger particle diameters, such as cattle and sheep feed, fish feed, etc. The disadvantage of the flat die pellet machine is low output, which is suitable for occasions with low requirements for pellets.

Ring die pellet machine The ring die pellet machine uses a vertically placed die, and the raw materials are extruded into pellets through the channels in the die. This pellet machine has a strong production capacity and is suitable for large-scale production. The pellet uniformity of the ring die pellet machine is high, which can effectively improve the digestibility of the feed. It is suitable for processing feed for pigs, poultry, etc. The disadvantages are high price, high energy consumption, and high maintenance requirements.

Twin-screw pellet machine Twin-screw pellet machine has higher processing capacity and can handle more kinds of materials, such as high-humidity and high-oil raw materials. It uses twin-screw extrusion to mix the materials evenly and form pellets. This pellet machine is usually used for high-end feed production, such as special feed with added drugs, vitamins and other ingredients. The advantage is high production efficiency, and the disadvantage is that it is expensive and requires high operating technology.

Single-screw pellet machine Single-screw pellet machine has a simple structure and is suitable for small and medium-sized feed processing. It uses a spiral device to extrude the material into pellets, which is suitable for some low-fat and low-humidity feeds. The cost of a single-screw pellet machine is lower, but the production efficiency and pellet quality are not as good as a twin-screw machine.

Selection Guide: Production requirements: For small-scale production, you can choose a flat die pellet machine or a single screw pellet machine; while large-scale production is more suitable for a ring die pellet machine or a twin-screw pellet machine. Raw material characteristics: If you need to process high-humidity, high-oil or difficult-to-form materials, a twin-screw pellet machine is the best choice; for ordinary feed, ring die pellet machines and single-screw pellet machines can also meet the needs. Budget considerations: Under limited budgets, single-screw pellet machines and flat die pellet machines are more cost-effective; if the budget is sufficient, you can consider investing in ring die or twin-screw pellet machines to improve production efficiency and pellet quality. In short, choosing a suitable feed pellet machine requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as production scale, raw material characteristics, equipment cost and maintenance requirements.

Hightop Poultry Equipment Supplier -Chicken Farming Equipment Manufacturer

Poultry farming is a significant part of the global agricultural sector, providing a reliable source of protein, income, and employment opportunities worldwide. This article will cover essential aspects of poultry farming, including its types, setup, best practices, challenges, and tips for success.

Types of Poultry Farming

Poultry farming generally focuses on two main types: egg production and meat production, though it may include a variety of poultry types. Here’s a look at the primary types of poultry farming:

Broiler Farming: This involves raising chickens specifically for meat production. Broilers grow quickly, reaching market weight within 6-8 weeks, making this type of farming profitable in a short time.

Layer Farming: This type of farming focuses on producing eggs. Layers are typically hens bred for high egg productivity. They require specific diets, lighting, and care to ensure continuous egg production.

Free-Range and Organic Poultry Farming: Free-range poultry farming allows birds to roam freely outdoors, giving them access to fresh air, sunlight, and pasture. Organic poultry farming follows similar principles but also adheres to strict organic feed and management practices.

Duck and Turkey Farming: In addition to chickens, ducks and turkeys are raised for meat and egg production. Duck and turkey farming require different care practices, and they can cater to niche markets, especially during holiday seasons.

Other Specialized Poultry Farming: This includes raising guinea fowl, quail, and geese, which have unique care needs and can serve specialty markets.

Steps to Starting a Poultry Farm

Starting a poultry farm requires careful planning and investment. Here are some fundamental steps:

Market Research: Understanding the demand for poultry products in your area helps identify potential customers and competitors. This also helps determine whether to focus on broilers, layers, or other poultry types.

Selecting a Location: The location should have ample space, good drainage, and easy access to water and feed. Farms should be positioned to minimize disease risks by being isolated from other livestock and poultry farms.

Choosing the Right Breed: The breed choice depends on the type of poultry farming (broiler or layer). Common breeds for broilers include Cornish Cross, while Isa Brown and White Leghorn are popular among layers.

Housing Setup: Poultry housing should provide adequate ventilation, space, lighting, and protection from predators. For layers, housing should include nesting boxes, while broilers require ample floor space for movement.

Acquiring Equipment: Essential equipment includes feeders, waterers, lighting, egg trays, and brooder units for chicks. Automated equipment can improve efficiency, especially in larger operations.

Feed and Nutrition: Balanced nutrition is crucial for poultry health and productivity. Feed should meet the birds’ needs based on their growth stage (starter, grower, finisher) or production phase (egg-laying).
