In headings Foreign experience information on work of the French selectors which deduced by crossing of a hybrid of cattle which is better than others is published approach for otkorma on meat.
The note that the American scientists want to make biodiesel fuel from animal fats – govyazhigo, pork and chicken is of interest also.
Foreign experience
Some surprise elicited that fact that France which is perceived as the unique country in Europe where for production of beef use true breeds of meat cattle (in the majority a limousine and sharole), and also attach great value to protection of domestic breeds, began activity in the direction of commodity crossing for the purpose of removal of the best to a material for otkorma. In ClermontFerrand this year hybrids of breeds a quitrent and a limousine, and also a quitrent and sharole were shown.
However it is difficult to believe that such popular today not only in France, and and in Poland breed cattle the limousine was one step away from a total disappearance. Very few people knows that the decision about refusal of this breed accepted in the sixties the French government. And still one of cattle-farmers, disagreeing with this decision, organized group of adherents which were engaged in promoting of limousines. This example shows, how it is necessary to care of revival of domestic breeds and to build the European quality systems.
Especially an interesting experiment of the French farmers is their association not only for the purpose of decrease in expenses of production, and and for fight against diseases of animals and creation of systems of a mutual insurance. Well organized French groups of producers of meat cattle show today strong economic potential and provide to the members decent profits.
The drive on a smalets
The American oil-extracting company ConocoPhilips (the third in the USA on the profile) and the greatest global manufacturer of meat production of TysonFoodsInc. want to make biodiesel fuel from animal fats – beef, pork and chicken that is a by-product in production of meat production. Start of the new project is planned for the second half 2007g. In ConocoPhilips noted that the annual volume of production of a biodiesel engine from a smalets is planned at level to 175 million gallons (662,4 million l). Interest to large-scale production of biodiesel fuel in the USA is caused by concern of the government of the country exhaustions of stocks of oil and gas. Not less important reason of interest in alternative sources of fuel is the desire to reduce volatility from the export countries of energy resources.
