Agriculture blog become dull

Hello fellas and assalamualaikum,

Only now I got a moment to post in this blog.Busy with school work like class teacher,dicipline teacher,scout and warden.I become an insane this week.

After long time didn't visit friends b;log that base on agriculture,i was amazed cause most of them didn't update anymore.Started from june 2009 and some of them even longer.Why?their bussiness no longer exist?or they are too busy to update their blog?

Im so bored now.sad because of this kind of situation.Im one of the inspired people when reading their blog either they realize it or not.Im amazed with the spirit that they have shown.The way that they use.The picture that they take and upload.All of this make me burning with spirit to try on my own.But all this inspiration now are gone.Take a try and click the agriculture link in my blog..nothing new on their blog.All of the rumours i heard before is coming true.Agriculture madness is only 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam' But im hoping its NOT.only the blog dead,not the spirit of the modern farmers and the entrepreneur..AMIN

Dapat Bapak Baru

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening to all my loyal visitors and blogger passing by..

Today I have just a Lecture on Teaching Methods subject. What I'm Trying to express here is not how to teach, but I'm impressed about what my lecturer have said and discuss with us. We are producing food from agriculture base since we are independence. But when we are chasing the modernity of the world, we forgot our root, our strength in our land. We are chasing for Information technology, Computer and etc. So, UPM have change its name from university pertanian malaysia to university putra malaysia..so?are we modern enough now?are we safe in our own land?are we rich enough to buy anything?

But, can we buy all the thing in this world since our country is rich? what if other country don't want to sell it's food like rice and meat?what if other country also don't have enough and they also don't want to sell what is theirs?are we going to eat money since we are rich with it?can paper of money be digest by us?think..

When Prime Minister put agriculture as a focused to the country, many people didn't acknowlegde him, many people think it's as a step back for the country progress. But when FOOD CRISIS happen, many complaint why we cannot produce enough food to our own people? they are complaining why rice price hike so high? why we don't produce rice ourself since we got many paddy field?why we must import the rice? Maybe all this people think planting a paddy only take a day, producing a rice only taking one hour..Are we aware of this situation and process?

Many agriculture experts have been predicting Food Crisis will be happen nearly to this year but not so many aware or taking action of this opinion. Maybe they think by making our country rich enough, we can buy anything including food to our people..but they are not totally right..

When price of oil palm increase, many oil palm planter in FELDA feel the outcome, their payment increase up to 3000-4000 a motnh. BUT..when price of rice increase, did the farmer get the same situation as oil palm planter?why? Goverment must take action on this situation to help real poor farmer to increase their status of life..
I love Malaysia, May Allah bless us all..ameen..

Calorie Table for Goat Meat, Milk & Cheese

hehe..sorry no more facts and news about agriculture lately...this time i put nutrition fact about goat meat because i am missing so much my maikel and i am the people who loves to eat..hahaha




A three ounce serving of roast goat contains approximately 122 kilocalories, of which about 23.5 calories come from fat. (By comparison, very lean beef steak contains 170 calories per 3oz serving, of which 63 come from fat.) Goats meat is a low fat alternative to red meats, like beef or lamb, and is an excellent food choice for anyone following a calorie-controlled diet.

Goat Meat, raw (100g) NUTRITION

Nutritional Information About Goat Meat
Chevron (goats meat) contains comparatively higher values of iron, potassium and thiamine than other meats. (Eastridge and Johnson, 1990). Specifically, a serving size of 100g of goat meat includes the following micronutrients: potassium (209mg), selenium (8.8mcg) and zinc (4mg).
Goat meat is also a high quality protein source, with minimal cholesterol intake risk. (USDA).
Although goats milk is low in folate, it supplies all calcium requirements and is a useful option for those who are allergic to cow's milk.
Nutritional Information About Fat Content Of Goat Meat
Goat meat is 50-65 percent lower in fat than similarly prepared beef, but has a similar protein content. (USDA).
It contains up to 45 per cent less saturated fat than chicken, even with the skin removed. (USDA).
Goat meat has 40 percent less saturated fat than chicken (without skin) and 850 percent less than beef. (USDA).
The cholesterol content of chevron (goat meat) is similar to that of beef, lamb, pork, and chicken and much lower than some dairy, poultry products and some seafoods. (Pond and Maner, 1984; Potchoiba et al., 1990; Stromer et al., 1966; Terrell et al., 1969; Park et al., 1991).
How To Save Calories
A useful guide to cutting calories is to avoid calorie-dense foods that are high in fat or sugar. These foods are too easily eaten. After a large main course we are not usually hungry, yet it's easy to eat a large serving of high-calorie ice cream, or a creamy dessert. By comparison, it's much more difficult to eat 4-5 large apples. Also, dietary fat has more than twice the calories (9 per gram) than carbs or protein (4 per gram), while excessive sugar can raise blood-glucose levels too rapidly and leave you hungry within a couple of hours. A better way to cut calories (and still feel full) is to choose high-fiber foods, such as vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains. These foods tend to have a lower caloric content, and take longer to digest thus giving us a feeling of fullness for longer.

From aquaculturerist to environmentalist or educationist??

Money for my allowance every motnh.i am not guarentee to anything..i still not finishing the proposal to get my short term grant.hahah..how i going to get money?and if i get..it will be providing me for the whole time i have been here?

Status of inland fisheries

STATUS OF INLAND CAPTURE FISHERIES
The historical landings trend by weight, value and major species from 1990 to 2002 are
shown in Table 3 and 4. According to Inger & Chin(2002), Sabah has 168 species of
freshwater fish species. The major freshwater fish species of commercial value caught and
sold in the markets are giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), ikan patin
(Pangasius spp.), lampam sungai (Puntius spp.), ikan tapah (Wallago maculatus), ikan
baung (Mystus sp.), ikan lais (Kryptopterus sp.,) ikan kokok (Leiocassis spp.,) marble gobby
( Oxyeleotris marmorata), Snakehead (Ophicephalus spp. ), tilapia ( Tilapia spp. ), catfish
(Clarias spp. ) and ikan pelian (Tor duoronensis )

However, it is sad to say that the landing from the inland capture fishery are fast declining
mainly due to habitat destruction from logging activities, pollutions from extensive
agricultural plantations, overfishing and illegal fishing (poison and electrical fishing).
