Description:
SKYEBLUE PUBLICATIONS. We are listed under printing/publishing manufacturing, liaising between academe and industry and disseminating information between the scientific community and the public and bringing information to the public domain including our areas in biotech. For classifieds listing (paste): http://www.vancouverbc.com/skye-blue-publications-ltd/. We are related directly or indirectly to human genetics. We deal with animal production and its metabolism and including breeding and molecular genetics as well as functional foods and nutritionals, wellness and health and biomolecular research in particular medical care areas including pharma and as it interacts with genetic expression. Thus, our organization and its partnership with this website for human genetics communications and information. SKYENEWS: We have been recently doing research at our non-Governmental organization (NGO), Skye Blue Organization Ltd., on biotechnology options for livestock production coming up to 2050 especially with developing country agriculture. Our work recently reflected by chance similar issues in particular and concerns the FAO, Rome Italy has for the future biotechnology plays now or will play in future. We are working currently on identifying and on the perspectives of increasing commercial genetically modified (GM) crop development and new GM and non-GM crop feed processing methods with livestock. These are initiatives to address urgent increases required to meet food security and energy demands in the developing world with biotechnology. (See: below and Biometron for more.) SKYENEWS: Pro-biotics with rumen digestion to supplement poor quality residue-based (PQR-based) feeding have been further advanced with rec-DNA bio/technology.The use of conjugative transposal technology with bioengineered cellulases, biocontainment using membrane porin technology and feed-grade porin blockers, solids-phase persistent microbial species and further exploration of growth-limiting membrane transport processes have been mentioned in passing in the literature as further technicalities to be addressed. Approaches that have advanced feeding: use of lignases in temperate ensilage as a palatable approach to using biotechnology optimizing nitrogen and energy utilization for proteinogenesis in the rumen, the use of fungal solid substrate fermentation (SSF) with Basidiomycetes with improved production of aerobic lignases and with greater efficiency in the tropics and subtropics, the use of co-generation and SO2/steam pre-treatment of bagasse to optimize biofermentation with fungal spp. (Candida utilis and Trichoderma viride) and applications of lacasse (Lignase Type III) bio- and/or chemical bleaching to substitute fibroin for grain in animal feeding (and even synthesis of starch from fibre) are other approaches being investigated. SKYENEWS: The issue of agricultural byproducts both from farm waste which was burned in fields and/or used as mulch and agro-industrial byproducts (AIBPs) processing (e. g. rubber seed meal, rice bran, oil meals, tofu curds, spilled wheat flour etc.) have been proposed and yet to be implemented in practice and has recently been transferred in concept as a practice to industrialized countries as was recently reported from Japan where feeding studies providing comparative total digestible nutrients (TDN) [a comparative weighting system totalling the nutrient components making up the feed ration digestively available nutrient fractions (%)], weight, carcass composition and radius proves to be comparable to controls. Another transferred practice from developing country agriculture or predominantly the tropical world is the use of steam explosion pre-treatment of lignocellulose fibre as was initiated with wheat straw in research at Aberdeen, Scotland with a Brazilian researcher in research studies there. (See: Global Chemical & Bio/Engineering Agro-Industrial Technology Systems; Pro-Mega) SKYENEWS: Industrial-class pre-treatment (IPT) (or Engineering and Agro-industrial Technologies; see: CEAT, Univ. of the Philippines, UPLB) of poor-qualith residues (PQRs) with IPT technologies (e. g. Bio-bleaching of wood pulp for feed with lacasse-type III lignases, yeast fermentation to increase availability and balance nutrients in straw, legume leaf meal pelleting, steam explosion of straw, stover and legume haulms) will increase with adoption and/or importation of technologies and where physical plants are established (e. g. wood pulp, feed and sugarcane mills and cereal granaries amongst other mills) that supply co-generated energy and electricity to be used with more intensive farming practices although sustainability might again become an issue of this in the future. Order a copy from our publication, Biotechnique Communique, with titles on tropical feeds and feeding such as: "Yeast Bagasse", "Ammoniation of Rice Straw", "Lignase as a Feed Enzyme", "Carbohydrase Starch Synthases for Feed", "Anaerobic Lignases in Indigenous Ammoniating Spp at Higher pH" & "Sugarcane as Energy for Feed". (See: Global Chemical & Bio/Engineering Agro-Industrial Technology Systems; Pro-Mega) > A Foreword Excerpt < to the monograph (see below): "A Compilation of Ligno-cellulose as Feedstock and Related Research for Feed, Food and Energy." This body of research on the topic of ligno-cellulose as feedstock for feeding animal livestock (and bioenergy feedstock), from 2003 to 2008, explores areas opening up in enzyme technology to breakdown ligno-cellulosic fibre, which have not heretofore been isolated, identified and characterized sufficiently for use ‘as is’, and with hosts, for e. g. in ensilage (temperate and tropical) and the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) via genetic engineering of DNA of crops for feeds and their byproduct residues, to improve utilization, such as lowering anti-nutritive elements, increasing nutrients of higher potential and controlling rate of degradability which leads to loss of nutrients during digestion. At the time, although use of agro-industrial byproducts (e. g. industrial food processing byproducts) have come to the fore especially in developed countries (e. g. Japan), feed residues including energy and protein concentrates and marginal browse trees and shrubs and agricultural land systems for planting cash crops, animal fodders and food crops were being promoted because of their enormous potential for feed, livestock as capital, for food and for extra income. Pre-treatment of ligno-cellulosic fibre either as feed or as has been researched as bioenergy feedstock is best done chemically (sulfur dioxide, SO2) and thermally (steam explosion, SE) to disrupt the ligno-cellulose complex and breakdown the ligno-hemicellulose bonds. This form of pre-treatment with co-generation of energy with biomass will become viable with time with mills brought up to function as bioenergy producers, including smaller co-operatives. The whole complex of producers or growers, their co-ops, transport lines or networks and milling stations or plants will have beneficial effects on employment and standards of living in rural areas in both the industrialized and developing world. To this date, the use of pro-biotics (i. e. recombinant rumen microbial modification), ammoniation via permeation of lignocellulose and the relative lack of progress in use of fibrolytic enzymes has made heat co-generation/chemical/thermal pre-treatment together with lowering lignin content as the viable option. Enzyme technology has already shown promise with improving fermentation and nutritive value of silages. Top dressing feeds with lignases that need further characterization (e. g. etherases, esterases and lyases) and including those from anaerobic species such as municipal sewage sludge and from the rumen ecosystem will also be brought into line along with the other technologies. The author is from the Philippines and so discussion here can relate to tropical agriculture in that part of the world including addressing issues around utilization of sugarcane as a feed (and bioenergy feedstock), discussion of native grasses and legumes, amongst other feed resources, including browse trees and shrubs (end). The Skye Blue Organization (SBO) is Canadian-based located in the municipality of Port Coquitlam and is a non-governmental private enterprise pro-active organization in biotechnology addressing issues using information and communication technology with research and publishing on the web as well as setting out on the drawing board start-ups with R&D technology in agronomy and food production, biotech including biomedical and health sciences and the bioresources industry including the emerging alternate bioenergy field. SBO at this time builds on a subscriber base by mailings with all accounts receivable to the username specified in our e-mail for services of all accounts payable. We are actively seeking sponsorships, fundraise and collaborate with personnel sharing common interests in research areas. We occasionally have enquiries from those starting their careers who are interested in employment. We have ongoing research portfolios for further R&D, so do not hesitate to enquire further by sending us your resume. We aim to bring to our audience inclusive discussions, potential co-operative ventures and advance on the latest biotech has to offer to bring about the scientific breakthroughs and the technical advances of significant practical value for commercial and economic development with particular interest to development issues for both the developing and underdeveloped world. With our organization at this time we are located in the Port Coquitlam area of British Columbia, Canada with full access to Internet services, publishing via desktop printing and web design including e-commerce tools and management. We cover and focus on, with backgrounds in biochemistry, animal nutrition, biotechnology and livestock production with crops and animal feeding, the whole issue of alternative feeding strategies to support and increase livestock and food production to growing populations in the world. There is a need to bring together research capability in terms of networks or collaborations to realize the necessary breakthroughs and advances in biotechnology in terms of genetic engineering together with more conventional or accepted biotechnologies and bring about the wider acceptance of these new generation biotechnologies on the market to make the scientific revolution of improving world food security a reality and ensure it by 2050. There is a need for essential capitalization which will require cooperation from both the industrialized world as well as adoption of technologies by other parts of the world with their commercialization and the need to ensure free trade with ideas intellectually protected by law.

ADVERT/NEW FEATURE "A Compilation of Ligno-cellulose as Feedstock and Related Research for Feed, Food and Energy." Dedicated in Memory of Pamela A. D. Rickard, Biochemist and Biotechnologist, then Chair of the Department of Biotechnology, School of Biological Technologies (Pharmaceutical, Agriculture, Food), the University of New South Wales, Sydney with her colleagues P. P. Gray and N. W. Dunn who together pioneered research on ligno-cellulose enzyme technology on sugarcane waste to produce ethanol during the early '70s oil crisis as a petrol extender, to Prof. Emeritus Peter L. Rogers and his continuing research on 'wet' (e. g. ethanol fermentation and yeast) and 'dry' fermentation (solid-state fermentation (SSF) with fungal spp. on feed byproduct residues) and to Ron A. Leng, O. A., Ph.D., D. Rur.Sc., FASAP for his pioneering and abiding dedication to research on feed byproduct residues as a cheap source of fibre for animal feeding with ruminant livestock and energy at the University of New England, Australia. This publication is a result on following through and keeping in correspondence with Dr./Prof. Leng with the principal author as he continues research on ligno-cellulose for feed, food and energy. ADVERT/NEW FEATURE "Novel Approaches to Feeds and Feeding in the Tropics". We have compiled with our Principal at Skye Blue new, and remarkable, proposals for R&D application with feeds technology including use for the small farmer and developing and underdeveloped country settings which should be supported by enablement by government with the required implementation.
