A DAVID ROSENMAN'S A AIJ110 Au ■ PlUIRCHASEIRS The same scientists are ex- perimenting with genetic selection of chickens in the hope that their research will one day yeild a lower- cholesterol egg. Israeli childens do not steal all the limelight, for the coun- try's cows boast the world record of milk production — some 9,000 liters per animal. The high productivity rate of both chickens and cows is due in large part to the sophisti- cated Israeli-designed com- puter technology used to run and monitor poultry and dairy farms. This year saw the develop- ment of several new auto- mated systems. One of them, developed by Anat, the com- puter division of Kibbutz Bror Hayil, enables a farmer to monitor every activity of his herd. Each cow is accorded a number which is recorded on an electronic device that it wears around its neck. Small electronic transmitters are then set up at key areas where the cow passes daily. The transmitters pick up the cow's every action and relay it to a central computer. The system enables the dairy-herd manager to know the food in- take and the milk output of every cow. It also tells when a cow's mating time is ap- proaching and can even help select a suitable sire for her! An even more elaborate computerized mating system has been introduced in the north part of he country. A computer program keeps track of some 90,000 cows in the region, noting when each cow was last artificially in- seminated and which bull was the father. One of the chief advantages of this system is that it prevents in- cest among blood-related animals, thereby preventing genetic disorders and increas- ing milk production. For many years now, Euro- peans have been able to go to their supermarkets in winter- time and buy fresh succulent fruit that has been grown in the Arava or Negev desert. The country's reputation for desert agriculture is well known. But if developments of the last year are any indica- tion, then Israel may soon be equally distinguished for its desert aquaculture. Aquaculture relies on the use of natural ponds to raise a variety of agricultural pro- duce. It is ideal for a country that is limited in both fertile land and fresh water resources since the water us- ed to feed the ponds comes from natural underground salt water aquifiers that are very common in desert regions.
