La peste des petits ruminants (PPR) est une maladie très contagieuse et hautement mortelle pour les ovins et les caprins. La maladie sévit principalement en Afrique, au Moyen-Orient et en Asie. Mais elle vient d’émerger en Europe, avec des premiers cas observés en 2024 en Grèce et en Roumanie. Le Cirad est laboratoire de référence sur la PPR pour l’OMSA, la FAO et l’Union européenne. Décryptage sur les différentes missions que ce rôle implique.

In pastures green you leadeth me
And make me down to lie
But my delight's to chew the cud
From many days gone by
You gave me eyes to see all round
But backwards is my gaze
The grass was greener far behind
In my lost lambish days
Goodness and mercy followed me
Until one day they din't
The one lost sheep following now
The track of my hoof prints

#Prompt: #Ruminant
There was philosopher called Descartes,
Who thought he was being rather smart.
With a flick of his wrist,
He said "I must exist",
Because I can definitely smell my fart.

Information on the #StearnsCounty #MN #goat that tested positive for #BirdFlu:
A juvenile goat residing on a farm with a #HighlyPathogenicAvianInfluenza #HPAI positive #poultry flock tested positive for the same virus.
This is the first U.S. detection of HPAI in a domestic #ruminant (cattle, sheep, goats, and their relatives).
All poultry on the property were ALREADY QUARANTINED from the PREVIOUS #February HPAI detection.
Global Policy Report The Food System Economics Commission (FSEC) has brought together leading experts to develop a unique economic model that maps for the first time the impacts of two possible futures for the global food system: our Current Trends pathway, and the Food System Transformation pathway.
"Meat and dairy industry's attempt to change how we measure methane emissions would let polluters off the hook "
Another article to explain how the meat industry apologists are trying to twist science into marketing. This is about GWP*:
<💬>
The tempting narrative that some in the beef and dairy industry have started to promote is that GWP* (“the latest science”) tells us methane emissions are not as serious as we thought they were, and only small reductions are required.
Industry-backed statements along the lines of the “UK’s livestock is not contributing to climate heating since numbers have not increased in recent years” may seem correct and convincing when looking at the GWP* results without delving into the nuances. The correct statement, however, is that the “UK’s livestock is not contributing additional warming compared to already high levels”. This is what incorrect use of GWP* masks.
