Metrics details Human activity has already affected all parts of the ocean with pollution increasing and fish-stocks plummeting The UN’s recent announcement of a Decade of Ocean Science provides a glimmer of hope but scientists will need to work closely with decision-makers and society at large to get the ocean back on track Sustainable Development Goal logo ©UNITED NATIONS and more technologically advanced societies are increasingly impacting their local and the global environment leading to pollution by both chemical and physical wastes Integrated research is needed to assess the human and environmental risks of ongoing and future types of ocean pollution to generate new ideas to reduce the ocean pressures by promoting recycling improved waste management and incentive and governance regimes to encourage more sustainable production and consumption The most challenging ocean pollutants include: atmospheric carbon dioxide and sea level rise; agricultural fertilizers which lead to increased primary production but result in ocean deoxygenation; untreated waste water; invasive species; micro and macro plastics the exponential increase of which has an environmental impact as yet only partially known or coastline erosion can be devastating for coastal communities Throughout human evolution civilization has developed strategies to increase our resilience to threats from the ocean the rush for coastal recreation and access to the sea has produced newly built infrastructure that is increasingly vulnerable to ocean extreme events would also provide natural protection and increase resilience to sea-level rise and storm surges or regulations to limit ocean pollution are all critical elements to safeguard ocean resilience Humans have always benefitted from the ocean and its diverse ecosystem services We often speak of a healthy and productive ocean referring to the desire to maintain the ocean in a prosperous state and raw materials; and enables global trade and recreational and cultural services The sustainability challenge is achieving long-term ocean prosperity for more affluent societies with a global population approaching 10 billion Is there sufficient intergenerational will to sustain the overall long-term wealth and well-being of humans by safeguarding ocean resources and ecosystem productivity What are the trade-offs and synergies between different strategies of marine food production and wild harvesting different forms of energy harvesting and extraction of materials and ocean restoring zones New research should develop and flesh out sustainable blue-green growth agendas and link it to efforts in ecosystem protection and co-dissemination of ocean sustainability knowledge more engagement at the primary and secondary school levels is urgently needed to promote ocean literacy Training courses and exchange programs between south–south and north–south ocean actors as well as courses for ocean professionals hold tremendous potential to raise ocean awareness and promote better solutions The increased awareness of the importance of the ocean to the future of humanity give grounds for cautious optimism and motivation for ambitious multilateral cooperation The scientific community has been given a stage on which to shine during the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development respect our disciplines and agendas but also be ready to embark on an exciting and transformative journey to realize the ocean we need for the future we want United Nations General Assembly.

specifically for the poultry sector will be announced at the official ceremony which will be held in conjunction with the formal opening of the EuroTier trade fair on 14 November 2016 The trade fair will for the first time be launched on the day before it opens its doors to visitors on 15 November Poultry related winners of the Innovation Award EuroTier 2016 are: Establishing and stabilising a healthy intestinal flora is an essential aspect of animal health in poultry farming Poultry Star verifiably supports these important objectives both during the initial intestinal colonisation just after chicks hatch and as part of successful re-colonisation Poultry Star is a feed supplement specially developed for poultry on the basis of a host-specific multi-strain synbiotic that promotes early intestinal colonisation and a healthy intestinal flora The product’s effectiveness is based on the combined use of carefully selected probiotic microorganisms and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides This combination is able to increase the resilience of day-old chicks and poultry of any age to pathogenic microbes It optimises the microbial colonisation of birds’ intestines and improves both overall immunity and performance parameters such as weight gain and feed efficiency The product received EU approval as an intestinal flora stabiliser in 2015 It is available in 2 formulations for use in mixed feeds and administration via drinking water Poultry farmers commonly administer products for enhanced animal performance and health in poultry housing These can be given via birds’ drinking water or feeds Dispensing via drinking water is costly and requires high-precision metering devices while mixing products in with complete feedstuffs in feed mixing units is generally also too expensive due to stringent legal requirements it is to be expected that the use of these products will only increase as zootechnical measures (such as beak trimming) come to be prohibited The Nutrition Easy@ system developed by EW Nutrition allows products to be directly dispensed into feeds with high precision Additives are offered as aqueous solutions which is attached to the feed line as a unit sprays the supplement solution onto bird feed at a rate that is controlled by the feed line speed and the accuracy it delivers is within the analytical tolerance range defined by the Association of German Agricultural Analytic and Research Institutes (VdLUFA) The Nutrition Easy@ system allows bird feeds to be supplemented with active agents quickly It therefore supports approaches towards improved animal welfare Drinking systems for poultry housing are almost exclusively operated at low pressures pressure ratios within these systems can vary depending on fluctuations in the water supply the time of day or birds’ drinking water intake from the relevant drinking line Excessively high or low pressures in turn can affect the functionality of valves in the system which can result in insufficient water being available to birds or drinking lines leaking The Optima E-Control system monitors and regulates the pressure in water lines to ensure that it remains constant This substantially reduces the risk of wet litter in bird housing The system additionally allows flock-specific or farm-specific pressure curves to be defined to maintain an optimal water supply at all times Optima E Control also offers a function that triggers an alarm when insufficient water is available and caters for automatic flushing Optima E-Control constitutes promising progress in optimising the water supply for poultry The system enhances animal welfare by keeping litter dry and helps reduce the production of emission-related substances such as ammonia continuous monitoring of ammonia concentrations in animal housing and the control of air quality based on the results of such monitoring was mainly prevented by the lack of sufficiently precise sensors that were robust enough for long-term use The Dräger Polytron C300 is the first electrochemical sensor for the continuous measurement of ammonia concentrations in animal housing that delivers both reliable function and long-term stability As sample gas is supplied to the sensors via diffusors the sampling process requires no pumps or hoses The measuring range covers the full range of concentrations relevant for animal housing The sensor is sufficiently robust to withstand environmental conditions in animal housing and allows ammonia concentrations to be monitored during practical operation Its data can be fed into animal facility software as control parameters for maintaining good environmental quality and promoting animal welfare Poultry is exposed to very high stress levels with the period between animals’ removal from transport containers and their being anaesthetised being particularly critical Marel’s ATLAS (Advanced Bird Transport Solution from Grower to Processor) system is a modular unloading system that allows birds to be transferred to conveyor belts with less stress The system is a rigorous further development of the existing container system The individual transport modules of larger transport containers are automatically separated into individual modules as they are supplied to the slaughter line without birds needing to be unloaded at different levels or without them needing to be handled or treated in any other manner This ensures that the animals do not have direct contact with people after they are loaded the animals suffer considerably less stress which
