There is an increase in demand for food of animal origin, due to increasing global population. Therefore, livestock owners around the globe are trying to increase animal product output which ultimately leads to enormous production pressure on the livestock. To achieve such high production goals, animals should be disease free and physiologically fit. To ensure their healthy status, antibiotics are being used extensively in therapeutic & subtherapeutic doses to enhance production, which ultimately lead to presence of antibiotic residues in the final animal products like milk, meat, eggs etc. If such contaminated products are consumed by humans for a longer period of time, it may subsequently lead to significant health and economic issues ranging from emergence of AMR to starter failure in dairy industry. Therefore, present review focuses on various aspects of antibiotic usage in animal husbandry practices, initiative taken to combat AMR, methods used for detection of antibiotics in milk and their impact on human health.
 

Utilization, extraction of energy and synthesis of various micronutrients through dietary lipids in ruminants is solely dependent upon rumen microbial efficacy. Rumen microbes are not only the pioneer of lipid digestion, but also the key factor to decide the physical & biochemical characteristics of input dietary lipids owing to the lipolysis and followed by biohydrogenation of dietary lipid through rumen microbes. Optimal microbial balance and proper scientific requirement of dietary lipids influences the digestibility and utilization of dietary lipids. Thus, aforesaid article developed to discuss key insight considerations of rumen microbes to utilizedietary lipidsin ruminants.

The present study was carried in Basti distract of out in Uttar Pradesh to assess socio-economic status dairy farmers regarding the scientific animal husbandry practices followed by dairy farmer in eastern plain zone of Uttar Pradesh. The state was purposively selected because scientific dairy farmers adopted by majority of rural farmers as a source of subsidiary income. The selection of District was purposively due to the researcher is well equated about the work, the socio-cultural status of the district which help in quick rapport building that is essential for authentic data collection. The selected Basti district four Blocks will be selected randomly. Three villages from each block were selected randomly. The villages were selected by applying simple random sampling technique. A village-wise list of dairy farmers were prepared and from that list, ten dairy farmers were selected randomly from each village, thus the final sample unit comprised of one hundred twenty (120) dairy farmers for this study. Majority (59.17%) of dairy farmer’s belonged to old age group (>50 years), majority (25.83%) belonged to middle category, majority 58.33 per cent of the dairy farmers belonged to the other back word caste, majority 68.33 per cent of the dairy farmers were having nuclear family. majority (52.50%) of dairy farmers were in medium category of personal localite, information like family members, relatives, friends, Progressive farmers and others were used as source information in scientific dairy farming practices. Socioeconomic profiles like age, education, family size, family type and more social participation compression to other socioeconomic status have good scientific animal husbandry practices in research area
