“…Factors such as poor nutrition, sanitation and overcrowding are some of the leading causes for the occurrence of infectious diseases. India has a population of cattle (191 million), buffalo (109 million), sheep (65 million), goats (135 million), pigs (10 million) and more than 700 million poultry that produce almost 75 billion eggs every year32. Poultry production system demands excessive use of antimicrobials, mostly as growth promoters.…”

The looming concern of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has prompted the government of many countries of the world to act upon and come up with the guidelines, comprehensive recommendations and policies concerning prudent use of antibiotics and containment of AMR. However, such initiatives from countries with high incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food animals are still in infancy. This review highlights the existing global policies on antibiotics use in food animals along with details of the various Indian policies and guidelines. In India, in spite of availability of integrated policies for livestock, poultry and aquaculture sector, uniform regulations with coordinated initiative are needed to formulate strict policies regarding antimicrobial use both in humans and animals. In an attempt to create effective framework to tackle the AMR, the Indian Council of Medical Research initiated a series of dialogues with various stakeholders and suggested various action points for urgent implementation. This review summarizes the recommendations made during the various consultations. The overarching aim of this review is to clearly delineate the action points which need to be carried out urgently to regulate the antibiotic use in animals.

“…En la agricultura, la aplicación de la fracción sólida del digestato puede reemplazar los fertilizantes sintéticos, y reducir notablemente el impacto ambiental por emisión de CO2 y CH4, provenientes de los procesos industrializados para su producción [50]. Así mismo, el manejo de los residuos ayuda a reducir la eutrofización (proliferación descontrolada de bacterias), producida por la aplicación excesiva y directa en el suelo o en cuerpos de agua de altos niveles de fosfato y nitrato contenidos en el estiércol [57]. Sin embargo, los beneficios ambientales dependen de cada una de las etapas en la cadena productiva del biogás y el digestato, y se deben cuidar para no ocasionar efectos adversos en el ambiente [16].…”

ResumenEl biogás producido por la digestión anaerobia de residuos pecuarios es una solución para la sustitución de la biomasa tradicional usada en iluminación y calor. Su uso presenta ventajas como la mejora en la productividad de las fincas, la reducción del impacto ambiental y el rompimiento de la dependencia a los combustibles fósiles y agroquímicos. Sin embargo, aún se tiene poca difusión en las zonas rurales de Colombia, principalmente por el desconocimiento de las potencialidades y los beneficios. Por tal motivo, la presente revisión propone brindar una perspectiva de la digestión anaerobia desde los aspectos técnicos más relevantes, la importancia del sustrato y los tipos de biodigestores de bajo costo más comunes. Se concluye que es necesario mejorar las técnicas para hacerlas más asequibles y planear programas de financiación que permitan la expansión plena de la tecnología a pequeña y mediana escala. Palabras clave: biogás; digestato; digestión anaerobia. AbstractThe biogas produced by the anaerobic digestion of livestock waste is a solution for the replacement of traditional biomass used in lighting and heat. Its use offers advantages such as: the improvement in the productivity of the farms, reduction of the environmental impact and breaking the dependence on fossil fuels and agrochemicals. However, there is still little diffusion of it in rural areas of Colombia, mainly due to ignorance of its potential and benefits. For this reason, this review provides a perspective of anaerobic digestion from the most relevant technical aspects, the importance of the substrate and the most common types of low-cost biodigesters. It is concluded that it is necessary to improve the techniques to make them more affordable and to plan financing programs that allow the full expansion of this technology to small and medium scale.

“…Despite its usefulness, major amount of it remain unutilized which results in environmental pollution. It is also estimated that just 9% of the total biomass generated by livestock is utilized for biogas recovery (Kaur et al 2017).…”

INTRODUCTION: Waste is well-defined as any substantial, which has not yet been fully utilized. The waste contains three main constituents: Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, and it can contain various compounds. Cellulose and hemicellulose are carbohydrates that can be broken down by enzymes and acids and then fermented to produce ethanol renewable electricity, fuels, and biomass-based products. However, waste is an expensive and generally unavoidable result of human activity. It includes plant materials, agricultural, industrial and municipal wastes, and residues. Food processing wastes food in spillage, spoilage, discarding substandard edible materials, or removing edible food parts in inefficient processing. Food waste significantly impacts environmental, economic, and community health. (Wang et al. 2016) "What is biomass?," the word "biomass" consists of "bio" and "mass", and initially used in the field of natural science simply referring to amount of animal and plant. After the oil shocks, the meaning of the word was broadened beyond environmental field and came to include the meaning "biological resources as energy sources", since it was dynamically proposed that alternative energy sources should be encouraged. There is still no strict definition of biomass, and the definition differs from one field to another. From the perspective of energy resources, a common definition is "a general term for animal and plant resources and the wastes arising from them, which have accumulated in a certain amount (excluding fossil resources)". Accordingly, biomass encompasses a wide variety including not only agricultural crops, timber, marine plants, and other conventional agriculture, forestry, and fisheries resources, but also pulp sludge, black liquor, alcohol fermentation stillage, and other organic industrial waste, municipal waste such as kitchen garbage and paper waste, and sewage sludge. Because some countries do not classify municipal waste as biomass, care is needed in the use of statistical data. Generallybiomassisthematterthatcanbederiveddirectly orindirectlyfromplantwhichis utilized as energy or materials in a substantial amount. "Indirectly" refers to the products available via animal husbandry and the food industry. Biomass is called as "phytomass" and is often translated bio-resource or bio-derived-resource. The resource base includes hundreds of thousands of plant species, terrestrial and aquatic, various agricul
