    New

It explains how composting with worms can turn food scraps and organic waste into nutrient-rich worm castings, and how this process differs from traditional composting methods. This resource covers the basics of worm biology, bin selection and setup, bedding materials, feeding rates, moisture and pH management, and common troubleshooting tips with an emphasis on simple, low-cost practices.

    Adoption of Mastitis Control Technologies in the Southeast to Reduce Mastitis and Improve Milk Quality

    Renewed

    Mastitis continues to be a major livestock disease afflicting the U.S. dairy industry. As the industry strives to improve milk quality to meet consumer as well as exportation demands, the legal limit for bulk tank sec will likely be reduced from 750,000/ml to 400,000/ml in the near future. It is estimated that between 10 and 20% of US dairy farms, mostly located in the Southeast, are currently at or above the 400,000/ml SCC limit and will have to adopt stricter methods for controlling mastitis in their milking herds, dry cows, and heifers.

    This publication reviews the survey results of adoption rates for mastitis control measures and shows that there is much room for improvement.

    La diabetes y la alimentación: Cómo planificar y cocinar comidas sabrosas y saludables 

    New

    Esta publicación explica cómo planificar y preparar comidas saludables y sabrosas para personas con diabetes, destacando que manejar la alimentación no significa renunciar al sabor, sino hacer elecciones equilibradas que ayuden a mantener estables los niveles de glucosa en sangre. Presenta el Método del Plato para la diabetes como una herramienta visual sencilla para estructurar las comidas y guía al lector a través de cinco pasos prácticos: comenzar con un plato de tamaño adecuado; preparar verduras sin almidón con sabor utilizando diversas técnicas de cocción y recomendaciones según sean frescas, congeladas o enlatadas; elegir y cocinar proteínas magras de manera inteligente; seleccionar alimentos con carbohidratos ricos en fibra; y optar por bebidas sin calorías, incluyendo ideas para aguas saborizadas naturales. También ofrece orientación sobre cómo combinar adecuadamente los alimentos en el plato y el uso de endulzantes y sustitutos del azúcar. Además, se informa que la Asociación Americana de la Diabetes pone a disposición recetas gratuitas y saludables en su sitio web para apoyar a las personas que viven con diabetes. El objetivo es brindar herramientas prácticas, culturalmente relevantes y sostenibles que faciliten el autocuidado y promuevan una alimentación saludable a largo plazo.

    Disfrute las fiestas con alegría y cuide su salud

    New

    Esta publicación ofrece orientación práctica para que las personas con diabetes puedan disfrutar de las celebraciones sin comprometer su salud. Reconoce que las fiestas, las reuniones familiares y los eventos religiosos son momentos importantes en la cultura, y que la comida tradicional suele ocupar un lugar central. Por ello, brinda estrategias sencillas y realistas organizadas en dos momentos clave: antes y durante las celebraciones. Antes de las fiestas, se recomienda planificar comidas y compras, utilizar el Método del Plato para la Diabetes, cocinar con anticipación, buscar recetas más saludables, mantenerse activo y establecer metas pequeñas y alcanzables. Durante las celebraciones, se sugiere mantener horarios regulares de comida, no saltarse las comidas, llevar un platillo saludable, elegir con inteligencia en el bufet, comer despacio, planificar el consumo de postres, seleccionar bebidas adecuadas, monitorear los niveles de glucosa y realizar actividad física ligera, como caminar después de comer. El objetivo es proporcionar herramientas prácticas que permitan disfrutar plenamente de las tradiciones mientras se mantienen niveles de glucosa bajo control y se protege la salud.

    Comer fuera de casa cuando tiene diabetes

    New

    Comer fuera de casa es una actividad común por motivos sociales o de conveniencia, y las personas con diabetes pueden disfrutarla sin descuidar su salud. Sin embargo, los alimentos de restaurante suelen contener más calorías, sodio y grasa, lo que puede dificultar el control de la glucosa en sangre. Además, al comer fuera, no siempre se sabe cómo se preparan los alimentos, lo que añade un reto adicional. Para apoyar una mejor toma de decisiones, se recomienda aplicar estrategias prácticas como planificar con anticipación, controlar las porciones, hacer pequeños ajustes en los platillos, elegir opciones más saludables según el tipo de cocina, y tomarse el tiempo para hacer preguntas sobre la preparación de los alimentos. Estas acciones permiten equilibrar la conveniencia con el bienestar y favorecen un mejor manejo de la diabetes en la vida diaria.

    Procedure for Calibrating Granular Pesticide Applicators

    Revised

    Applicators used in granular applications should be calibrated to ensure uniformity and accuracy. An accurate and uniform application can reduce the quantity of an active ingredient required for a given degree of control.

    Managing Mastitis in Dairy Heifers to Improve Overall Herd Health

    Renewed

    Prevalence of mastitis in unbred, breeding-age and pregnant dairy heifers is higher than formerly realized. Infected mammary quarters exhibit reduced mammary gland secretory potential, marked leukocyte infiltration and the accompanying inflammation. Both nonlactating and lactating commercial antibiotic infusion products have been used successfully to cure existing infections and reduce SCC, and nonlactating therapy prevents new IMI with environmental streptococci. However, the goal is to prevent new infections from occurring in these young dairy animals through management strategies aimed at vaccination, use of teat seals, fly control and dietary supplementation. Not only do these practices reduce new infections in first-calf heifers at parturition, they also reduce the introduction of Staph. aureus to the milking herd.
