Molecular Identification and Fingerprint Construction of Fruit Tree Germplasm Resources
China has abundant germplasm resources of fruit trees. According to incomplete statistics, there are 3893 botanical species among the 45 major fruit tree species worldwide, with 725 originating from China, accounting for 18.62% of the world; The wild species of major fruit trees such as apples, pears, grapes, etc. originating from China account for 56.13% of the world. Based on the preservation of so many fruit tree germplasm resources, actively and effectively conducting research on the mechanisms and developmental patterns of fruit tree trait variation and diversity formation, excavating excellent fruit tree germplasm, and breeding new varieties are fundamental to solving the challenges of fruit tree breeding and industry. However, when we conducted identification, evaluation, breeding, we found many problems such as germplasm confusion, homonymous foreign objects, which are highly likely to occur for asexual reproduction crops. Therefore, it is necessary to give each germplasm and variety an identity that can transform their essential and genetic differences into macroscopic, visual, and quickly identifiable evidence. Simple Sequences Repeat (SSR) is considered to be the simplest, most effective, and most reproducible molecular marker method for germplasm identification. Although with the development of resequencing and molecular markers, more and more people pay more attention on the other molecular markers, but SSR always occupying an important position in molecular marker identification of varieties especially in protecting variety rights. In our research, from the initial use of traditional molecular marker detection, to the combination with fluorescence detection, and then to the implementation of high-throughput molecular marker fluorescence detection, the methods have been continuously updated and improved in efficiency. We have established a comprehensive molecular marker identification system for apple and pear, and developed a method for constructing their molecular identity cards. These methods have been utilized in the processes of germplasm resource preservation, utilization, and breeding.

Feed into Milk
Strategic research in ruminant nutrition has greatly improved our understanding of the processes involved in the conversion of feed to milk. However, the lack of an up to date framework to incorporate this knowledge into support systems has meant that much of the technology has not been transferred into practice in a way that can aid the sustainability of milk production systems.The aim of Feed into Milk (FiM) was to develop this framework in close collaboration with the dairy support industry so that an improved nutritional model could be applied with immediate effect. The project comprised reviews and evaluations of current relevant information on feeding systems, a joint modelling, animal experiment and feed evaluation approach to deriving an improved diet formulation system and the construction of an improved applied nutrition model to meet the future needs of the dairy farmer and the feed industry. This advisory manual is one of the main outcomes of the project and is aimed at consultants, research workers, academics and students of animal nutrition.This manual explains the background and principles involved in deriving the FiM system and provides the rationale and the equations for the prediction of intake and the calculation of the requirements and supply of energy and protein. In addition the manual recognizes that an applied feeding system is only part of the process of diet formulation and provides a series of decision support systems (DSS) to assist in building rations for dairy cows. The accompanying CD explains the principles of diet formulation and provides examples on the use of the DSS. The complete set of equations is listed in software format and this together with an extensive feed database enables the user to begin formulating diets with almost immediate effect.

Perfecting the Pig Environment
Original edition reissued in 2023 with new cover. This is a print on demand title and is not held in stock. The delivery leadtimes will be longer. Like its predecessor, this publication is written for students and those professionals who choose to work at the 'sharp end' of the pig industry and are driven by a desire to improve the environment that farmers provide for pigs. The authors describe proven monitoring techniques which can also interpret data and automatically implement adjustments to environment control systems. Readers are led through a series of case studies from commercial pig farms. Explanations of the source of problems within pig buildings are provided and augmented by graphical data which are explained in simple terms.
