Animal biotechnology can help achieve development goals in Africa by increasing livestock productivity, improving animal health and resilience, and reducing environmental impacts. Key applications include developing disease-resistant animals, improving feed digestibility and reproduction, and selecting animals that produce less methane. Strengthening partnerships, regulatory systems, and Africa's own innovation capacities will be important to facilitate use of animal biotechnology for sustainable development.

- US antibiotic usage in food animals decreased 10% from 2015-2016, with medically important antibiotics decreasing 14%, and larger decreases expected in 2017.
- A survey found 53.8% of veterinarians eliminated all antibiotic growth promotion, while 22.5% moved to non-medically important growth promotants.
- In response to fewer antibiotics, practices like increased vaccinations (30.3%) and non-antibiotic feed additives (21.2%) increased, according to veterinarians.

Smallholder pig value chains transformation in Uganda: Results, lessons and i...ILRI
This document summarizes the results, lessons learned, and insights from a project aimed at transforming smallholder pig value chains in Uganda. Key findings include:
1. High disease burden from parasites and pathogens negatively impacted pig health and productivity. Capacity building on biosecurity and husbandry practices helped reduce disease outbreaks.
2. Food safety risks from pathogens like Salmonella and Toxoplasma existed but were generally low to moderate due to cooking practices. Risks increased in longer supply chains with poor post-harvest handling.
3. Feeding trials demonstrated the potential of sweet potato silage to alleviate dry season feed shortages. Local feed resources could be better utilized to improve pig nutrition if supplemented properly.
ILRI's strategy focuses on using livestock research to improve food security and reduce poverty in Africa. It has three strategic objectives: 1) develop and promote sustainable, scalable practices that improve lives through livestock; 2) provide scientific evidence to persuade decision-makers to invest more in livestock; and 3) increase stakeholders' capacity to make better use of livestock science and investments. Key research areas include addressing the biomass crisis in intensifying smallholder systems, managing vulnerability and risk in drylands, improving food safety and addressing aflatoxins, advancing vaccine biosciences, and mobilizing biosciences to achieve food security in Africa. ILRI aims to prove livestock's potential, influence investment, and ensure sufficient capacity to effectively use

A composite strategy is needed to tackle antibiotic use including minimizing unnecessary use by removing growth promoters and routine prophylaxis, minimizing the need by keeping animals healthy through public awareness, avoiding spread through biosecurity training and good farm management, optimizing use when needed by correct diagnosis, selection and dosing, and monitoring use and resistance. Some examples from other countries that decreased antibiotic use include banning blanket dry cow therapy and restricting certain drug classes in Denmark which saw a 48% reduction in use from 2009-2016.

The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

Centrifugation is a technique, based upon the behaviour of particles in an applied centrifugal filed.
Centrifugation is a mechanical process which involves the use of the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, medium viscosity and rotor speed.
The denser components of the mixture migrate away from the axis of the centrifuge, while the less dense components of the mixture migrate towards the axis.

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.
Mapping the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes as a Function of Galaxy Stella...Sérgio Sacani
The growth of supermassive black holes is strongly linked to their galaxies. It has been shown that the population
mean black hole accretion rate (BHAR) primarily correlates with the galaxy stellar mass (Må) and redshift for the
general galaxy population. This work aims to provide the best measurements of BHAR as a function of Må and
redshift over ranges of 109.5 < Må < 1012 Me and z < 4. We compile an unprecedentedly large sample with 8000
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 1.3 million normal galaxies from nine high-quality survey fields following a
wedding cake design. We further develop a semiparametric Bayesian method that can reasonably estimate BHAR
and the corresponding uncertainties, even for sparsely populated regions in the parameter space. BHAR is
constrained by X-ray surveys sampling the AGN accretion power and UV-to-infrared multiwavelength surveys
sampling the galaxy population. Our results can independently predict the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) from
the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF), and the prediction is consistent with the observed XLF. We also try adding
external constraints from the observed SMF and XLF. We further measure BHAR for star-forming and quiescent
galaxies and show that star-forming BHAR is generally larger than or at least comparable to the quiescent BHAR.

Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

Practices and drivers of antibiotic use in Kenyan smallholder dairy farms
1. Practices and drivers of antibiotic use in Kenyan
smallholder dairy farms
Drivers of antibiotic use (AMU) in Dairy farms
• Antibiotic use is increasing in food-producing animals and is a major
driver of antimicrobial resistance.
• About 10% of the milk from small-holder dairy farmers has been
reported to contain beta-lactam residue levels that exceed the
maximum allowed limits (0.01 to 100 parts per billion (ppb) (Aduda,
2023)
• Here, we quantified levels of commonly used antibiotics and
assessed possible drivers of antibiotic use in Kenyan dairy farms.
Methods

• Metadata: socio-demographic characteristics, herd management
and antibiotic use practices, patterns
• Modelled the drivers of antibiotic use.

Conclusion and next steps
• Antibiotic usage is associated with disease incidence and inappropriate herd management practices
• There is a need to educate dairy farmers on appropriate antibiotic usage and promote safe herd management
practices
• Antimicrobial stewardship efforts should target all stakeholders, including animal health service providers
• Large-scale surveillance is necessary to provide data on veterinary antibiotic usage and inform evidence-based
policies for mitigating antibiotic misuse or overuse and spreading antimicrobial resistance.
