How Much Do Vegan Diets Improve the Health of Dogs?

How Much Do Vegan Diets Improve the Health of Dogs?

September 6, 2024
WINCHESTER, ENGLAND, Sept 6, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Pet food consumes at least 9% of all livestock globally, rising to 20% in nations such as the US with high pet ownership. The environmental benefits of vegan pet diets were recently found to be game-changingly large. Most of these relate to dog food. But, can dogs be healthy without consuming meat?Dogs are biologically omnivores, and many companies now produce vegan dog food using plant, mineral and synthetic ingredients to supply all necessary nutrients. By 2024, 10 scientific studies had demonstrated good health outcomes in dogs fed vegan or vegetarian diets, and the British Veterinary Association had endorsed nutritionally-sound vegan dog diets. Yet no studies had calculated the size of the health benefits that might occur for average dogs, after controlling for age, sex, neutering status, breed size and exercise level - all factors that can affect dog health.In 2024 veterinary Professor Andrew Knight and two colleagues published the first study to control for all of these factors. After analysing health outcomes for 2,536 dogs, including 336 fed a vegan diet for at least one year, they found decreases in the occurrences of seven general indicators of illness. Dogs fed vegan diets were less likely to need medication, medical diets or unusually high numbers of veterinary visits, were more likely to be assessed as healthy by dog owners and their veterinarians, had lower rates of illness, and fewer cases of health disorders when they were unwell. Reductions ranged from 14% - 51% for average dogs, compared to dogs fed conventional meat-based diets. All of these differences were statistically significant, meaning they almost certainly reflected true differences rather than random variation.Additionally, the odds of suffering from six specific health disorders fell by 50%-61% compared to dogs fed conventional meat. These included some of the most common health disorders in dogs: problems with body weight, ears, and the musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal system ­- which can cause conditions such as lameness and diarrhoea.Among the 22 most common health disorders found in a 2022 study of the same dogs, 11 were most common in dogs fed conventional meat, eight in dogs fed raw meat, and three most common in dogs few vegan diets. 49% of dogs fed conventional meat were unwell, compared to 43% fed raw meat, and 36% fed vegan diets.Stated Prof. Knight, "Dogs fed vegan diets clearly had the best health outcomes in this very large-scale study, and these results are consistent with prior studies in this field. Nutritionally-sound vegan diets offer extremely large environmental benefits, so this is very good news for dog owners who want to protect the environment whilst also maximising their dogs' health. However, care should always be taken to ensure diets are nutritionally-sound, by checking package labelling and purchasing from reputable pet food companies."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.auSOURCE: Prof. Andrew Knight Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Toyota Motor Corporation and BMW Group Strengthen Collaboration Towards the Advancement of a Hydrogen Society

September 6, 2024
Toyota City, Japan, Sept 6, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and the BMW Group (BMW) signed an agreement to strengthen collaboration in the hydrogen sector, with a view to creating a hydrogen society and achieving overall carbon neutrality. Both companies will work together on the development of fuel cells system and the improvement of infrastructure.The two companies signed an agreement in December 2011 to establish a mid-long-term cooperative relationship in environmental technology, and have jointly advanced the development of environmental technologies, including fuel cells and sports cars, for over a decade. Sharing a common vision of "realizing a hydrogen society," the two companies will continue to accelerate technological innovation in fuel cell systems.The two companies will provide a wider range of options to customers by equipping more passenger cars with fuel cell systems.Toyota and BMW are collaborating on the development of a third-generation fuel cell system, which will be installed in both companies' models to provide customers with a broader range of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). As a first step, BMW plans to launch its first mass-produced FCEV in 2028.Both companies will also work to create synergies through collaboration in development and procurement as well as drive down costs by amalgamating powertrain units to expand commercial and passenger vehicle demand. By making FCEV a more accessible option, the partnership will contribute to the creation of a hydrogen society.Establishing sustainable hydrogen supply networksBoth companies believe that working with like-minded partners is essential for realizing a hydrogen society. Given the need to create clusters of demand for hydrogen in the early stages of popularisation, Toyota and BMW will encourage sustainable hydrogen supply by creating demand and working closely with hydrogen-producing companies as well as distribution and refueling facilities to ensure a stable hydrogen supply and reduce costs.(Left to right) Hiroki Nakajima, Executive Vice President of Toyota Motor Corporation, Koji Sato, President of Toyota Motor Corporation,Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG,Frank Weber, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, DevelopmentKoji Sato, President of Toyota, said, "We are pleased that the collaboration between BMW and Toyota has entered a new stage. In our long history of partnership, we have confirmed that BMW and Toyota share the same passion for cars and belief in "technology openness" and a "multi-pathway" approach to carbon neutrality. Based on these shared values, we will deepen our collaboration in efforts such as the joint development of next-generation fuel cell systems and the expansion of infrastructure, aiming for the realization of a hydrogen society. We will accelerate our efforts together with BMW and partners across various industries to realize a future where hydrogen energy supports society."Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management, BMW AG, commented, "This is a milestone in automotive history: the first-ever series production fuel cell vehicle to be offered by a global premium manufacturer. Powered by hydrogen and driven by the spirit of our cooperation, it will underscore how technological progress is shaping future mobility. And it will herald an era of significant demand for fuel cell electric vehicles."Toyota has positioned hydrogen as a key energy source in its efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, and has been advancing initiatives in collaboration with many partners across the areas of "producing, transporting, storing, and using" hydrogen.Toyota aims to be best-in-town by conducting locally rooted management that caters to each region's market characteristics and customer needs. Moving forward, we will continue to address the needs of customers in each region by focusing on a multi-pathway approach that includes FCEV, BEV, HEV, and PHEV options, all while steadily working towards reducing CO2 emissions.About Toyota Toyota strives to be a strong corporate citizen, engaging with and earning the trust of its stakeholders, and to contribute to the creation of a prosperous society through all its business operations.Our corporate principles form the basis of our initiatives, reflect values that enable action, and drive our mindset.For the latest Toyota-related news and information:https://tinyurl.com/ToyotaPressReleasenewsroom@global.toyota Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

康纳·麦格雷戈透露竞选爱尔兰总统计划

康纳·麦格雷戈透露竞选爱尔兰总统计划

September 5, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 前两届 UFC 冠军康纳·麦格雷戈暗示他将在明年竞选爱尔兰总统，他将自己描述为该职位的“唯一合乎逻辑的选择”，并承诺将在自己面前“召集”该国的政客，让他们“向爱尔兰人民负责”。 麦格雷戈周四在 X 上的一篇帖子中表示，他将利用爱尔兰总统的有限权力来质询立法者，他称他们为“劳动人民的窃贼”和“家庭单元的破坏者”。 “作为总统，我有权召集爱尔兰议会，也有权解散它，”他写道，使用爱尔兰语名称来称呼该国的议会。“这些身居高位的骗子会被召集起来向爱尔兰人民负责，我会在一天结束之前完成这件事。否则我将别无选择，只能完全解散爱尔兰议会。” “这将是我的总统权力……爱尔兰需要一位积极的总统，完全为爱尔兰人民服务，”他继续说道。“那就是我。我是唯一合乎逻辑的选择。2025 年即将到来……” 爱尔兰现任总统迈克尔·D·希金斯于 2011 年当选，他即将结束第二个也是最后一个任期。还没有候选人正式宣布竞选希金斯的继任者，但前总理伯蒂·艾亨和恩达·肯尼以及前新芬党领袖杰里·亚当斯被普遍认为是潜在的竞争者。选举将于 2025 年 10 月下旬举行。 麦格雷戈去年成为爱尔兰政治上没有代表的右翼人士的领军人物，当时他在都柏林一所学校外一名外国出生男子刺伤三名儿童后谴责了该国的移民制度。麦格雷戈将刺伤嫌疑人描述为“我们爱尔兰中的一大威胁，本不应该在这里”，并受到爱尔兰政府的指责，因为他鼓励了刺伤事件后爆发的骚乱和纵火事件。 这位 UFC 明星在几周后暗示要竞选总统职位，将自己描述为“年轻、积极、充满激情、新鲜血液”。尽管他的宣布引起了国际关注——包括来自 X 所有者埃隆·马斯克的关注——但在麦格雷戈开始训练回归八角笼后，今年他的竞选就不了了之了。 然而，麦格雷戈备受期待的与美国人迈克尔·钱德勒的次中量级比赛在 7 月被取消，因为这位爱尔兰人脚趾骨折。据报道，一场重新安排的比赛正在筹备中，麦格雷戈一直在社交媒体上宣传他的各种品牌，并且最近几天一直在评论爱尔兰政治。 在《爱尔兰时报》透露政府花费了 336,000 欧元的纳税人资金在一个为议会大厦外的 18 辆自行车建造的避难所后，这位前冠军周三在 X 上发泄了对那些批准该项目的“贪婪和腐败的骗子”的愤怒，并补充说，如果他是总统，该计划将会“当场被撕毁”。 为了竞选总统，麦格雷戈需要获得 20 名议员或 4 个地方当局的提名。由于议会和地方议会主要由艾亨、肯尼和亚当斯的政党控制，目前尚不清楚他是否能获得必要的支持。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

中国国家安全部警告年轻人警惕“美色陷阱”

中国国家安全部警告年轻人警惕“美色陷阱”

September 5, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 国家安全部警告称，有吸引力的伴侣可能是旨在诱使年轻人从事间谍活动的“蜜罐” 中国国家安全部（MSS）是负责对外情报和反间谍的主要机构，已向年轻人发出警告，称他们遇到的“英俊男孩和漂亮女孩”可能是旨在诱使他们为外国从事间谍活动的“蜜罐”。 该机构周三在其官方微信账号上发布了该警告，并将其针对年轻学生，特别是那些接触到高度敏感或机密信息或分类研究数据的学生。该部警告他们不要被美貌所迷惑，因为这可能是“海外间谍情报机构”设下的陷阱。它声称，这些实体经常将目标瞄准中国年轻学生，“伪装成亲密朋友和知己”，试图“赢得、诱骗和胁迫”他们陷入一个虚假的“爱情陷阱”。 该部还声称，一些外国情报机构为学生“提供高薪兼职工作”，经常使用含糊的语言以市场调查或学术交流的名义获取信息。该部警告说，在这些情况下，特工通常伪装成学者、研究人员或顾问，他们“利用年轻人的好奇心和尝试新事物的意愿”。 该部没有提供具体的名字，说明哪些外国机构以上述方式针对学生，但众所周知，中国与美国和英国互相对对方指控从事间谍活动。 该部最新的警告是在纽约发生一起事件之后发出的，纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔的前副幕僚长琳达·孙被指控充当中国政府的未公开代理人。今年 6 月，北京宣布逮捕了其两名国民，怀疑他们协助英国外国情报机构军情六处（MI6）。 该机构的账户于去年 8 月上线，此前中国扩大了反间谍法。这使得该国的当局拥有更广泛的权力来根除间谍。自那时起，该部发布了许多类似于周三发布的警告，旨在将反情报措施在公众中普及。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Moolec Confirms US Harvest and Promising Yields for Plant-Grown Products GLASO(TM) and Piggy Sooy(TM) in October

Moolec Confirms US Harvest and Promising Yields for Plant-Grown Products GLASO(TM) and Piggy Sooy(TM) in October

September 5, 2024
Luxembourg, Sept 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moolec Science SA (NASDAQ:MLEC) ("The Company", "Moolec"), a science-based food ingredient company, announced today the harvest confirmation of US campaigns for genetically engineered plant-grown products GLASO™ and Piggy Sooy™ during October 2024.GLASO™ and Piggy Sooy™ US Harvest AnnouncementGLASO™ (gamma-linolenic acid -GLA- in safflower oil) campaign located in Idaho consists of 600 planted acres of genetically modified safflower, mainly for commercial purposes. As a result of the harvest, Moolec is expecting to produce between 300 to 400 tons of safflower seeds that contain high levels of GLA. To allocate most of the upcoming GLASO™ production, Moolec has secured an offtake agreement with a major global CPG company, targeting the US market in 2025. Following a successful and rigorous audit from Moolec's CPG customer, production is set to begin in late 2024.The Company is also developing a broader commercial strategy to reach larger markets and clients. Moolec's GLASO™ product contains almost 3 times more GLA than conventional sources such as borage and primrose oil, making it the most concentrated GLA oil available on the market.Piggy Sooy™ (porcine myoglobin in soybean seeds) field trials are being carried out in 3 different US locations: Ohio, Missouri and Iowa. Main purposes for the campaign are product development (sampling), seed increase and gathering of environmental and regulatory data to continue Moolec's US-FDA approval pathway. The Team also projects a remarkable first open field performance for its bioengineered soybean Piggy Sooy™ after recent approval for cultivation from USDA-APHIS. This has set an unprecedented milestone in biotechnology last April, with Moolec becoming the first Molecular Farming company to obtain this kind of clearance for food crops growing animal proteins in US territory.Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Martín Salinas stated: "Our commitment to scaling Moolec's Molecular Farming Technology is demonstrated by our GLASO™ campaign and the field trials of Piggy Sooy™. These efforts not only reinforce our position as pioneers in the industry but also lay the foundation for sustainable solutions in agriculture and biotechnology." He then finished by remarking: "One acre of Piggy Sooy™ could potentially produce pork meat proteins equivalent to 10 pigs, reducing water footprint, land usage and CO2 emissions. This is a clear demonstration on how we promote environmental improvements throughout all our operations. Our aim is to heal the meat production system."Contact InformationPress & Mediacomms@moolecscience.comInvestor Relationsir@moolecscience.comRelated FilesMoolec Confirms US Harvest And Promising Yields For Plant-Grown Products GLASO™ And Piggy Sooy™ In October - 2024.09.05SOURCE: Moolec Science Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Hong Kong Services Sector Set for Mainland Sustainability Windfall

Hong Kong Services Sector Set for Mainland Sustainability Windfall

September 5, 2024
HONG KONG, Sept 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new report has found that 99% of mainland-based businesses have made a commitment towards sustainable investment over the next three years. Hong Kong has emerged as their first choice for sourcing the necessary range of related professional services.The findings come as part of Seizing Opportunities in China’s Sustainable Investment, a joint research report published today by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).Hong Kong: Key facilitator of sustainable developmentThe report was compiled after the two organisations surveyed 283 companies on their medium-term sustainability objectives. The research programme, which also included in-depth interviews with key industry representatives, aimed to evaluate the progress made by China-based businesses, as they align themselves with the Central Government's environmental priorities and explore the possibilities offered by green financing.Commenting on the significance of the survey, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: ‘As Asia’s leading green finance hub, Hong Kong has the potential to make a significant and lasting impact on Mainland China’s move to an ever more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.’‘With the city’s own progress to establishing itself as an international green finance and technology centre gathering pace, it is gratifying to see that its success to date is being widely recognised across the mainland. This vote of confidence confirms we are on the right trajectory to work with businesses throughout the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), within China as a whole and along the Belt and Road countries/economies.’Christina So, Head of ACCA Hong Kong and GBA Lead, said: ‘This study has delivered invaluable insights into the evolution of sustainable business practices in China, making it an essential reference tool for anyone looking to explore business opportunities throughout the country. It also underscores the need for a high standard of competence and a clear understanding of the sustainability agenda among finance and accounting professionals, something that we at ACCA are committed to delivering.’Healthy sustainable business practicesAnother key research finding was that the vast majority of survey participants are prioritising meeting the government’s policy objectives in the environmental impact space, especially with regard to substantially reducing carbon emissions.Many companies also highlighted other benefits of adopting greener business practices, including enhanced access to green finance and establishing positive brand values on an international basis.Barriers to sustainable investmentDespite the overwhelmingly upbeat sentiment with regard to adopting and implementing green protocols, many research respondents also reported ongoing challenges. These challenges are often slowing the rate at which agreed measures can be fully actioned. Chief among these concerns are cost pressures – cited by 82% of respondents – with an expectation that any return on investment in enhanced sustainability practices may not be evident in the short term.While many respondents were enthusiastic about exploring green financing, there was also uncertainty over how best to access these channels. Regardless of this, some 70% of respondents agreed that they were considering using a green financing channel to meet their future needs.Responding to the challenges facing the mainland business community, Wing Chu, Principal Economist of the HKTDC, said: ‘Despite the cost pressures highlighted, a major proportion of corporations is committed to investing in sustainability practices as a way to generate long-term value.’‘Interestingly, only a smaller fraction currently perceives the lack of knowledge and talent as challenges. However, they are keen on tapping into green financing to address their future needs. This approach is especially noteworthy, as numerous corporations are set to expand their investment in China and are committed to executing this growth sustainably.’Opportunities in green financingThe awareness of green financing options in China is still relatively low, with some 47%-56% of respondents indicating a lack of familiarity with many of the available options. Some 71% of respondents, however, maintained that they were willing to make wider use of green financing channels, including green loans and green bonds, while reducing their reliance on traditional financing options.Detailing how the local professional services sector has evolved to meet these challenges, Sam Chen, Regional Lead, Policy & Insights for ACCA China, said: ‘As businesses increasingly prioritise sustainable practices, understanding the local context and utilising green funding and technology has become crucial. There is now a wider understanding that a comprehensive approach to sustainability is essential, if businesses are to progress towards a more sustainable future, while continuing to deliver in value terms.’Respondents and interviewees for this research report were drawn from ACCA’s member community in China, which comprises finance professionals across a variety of key sectors, working at the forefront of an ever-changing business landscape.To further capture the green opportunities along the region, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the HKTDC are organising the ninth edition of the Belt and Road Summit, which will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 11-12 September.The event will gather green and ESG experts to facilitate knowledge exchange and cooperation on green development and sustainable finance, while showcasing Hong Kong's green industry capabilities globally. Under the theme of Building a Connected, Innovative and Green Belt and Road, there will be thematic breakout sessions on green development, infrastructure and financing.Seizing Opportunities in China’s Sustainable Investment (full report):https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTc5MTE4NzAzOQPhoto download: https://bit.ly/3z7laqvThe HKTDC and the ACCA today jointly released a research report entitled Seizing Opportunities in China’s Sustainable Investment.

(SeaPRwire) - 美国司法部指控两名俄罗斯人犯有洗钱罪和充当外国代理人罪，另有四人被制裁 美国司法部指控两名俄罗斯人犯有洗钱罪和充当外国代理人罪，指控他们在传播煽动美国“分化和分裂”的视频内容中扮演了角色。 美国检察官在周三公布的一份刑事起诉书中声称，Konstantin Kalashnikov 和 Elena Afanasyeva 为一家位于田纳西州的制作公司提供资金并进行指挥，该公司发布英文视频到各种社交媒体平台，旨在放大“美国国内的分裂”。 起诉书称，这些视频仅在 YouTube 上就被观看了超过 1600 万次，联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·雷表示，这代表着“欺骗美国人不知不觉地消费外国宣传”的企图。 制作突出美国社会和政治分化的视频并非犯罪行为。然而，司法部声称 Kalashnikov 和 Afanasyeva 违反了法律，因为他们没有注册为外国代理人。 早在 2017 年，司法部就迫使现已解散的 RT America 注册为外国代理人，此前许多美国情报机构声称 RT 通过发布“对希拉里·克林顿的负面报道”并批评美国的“腐败的政治体制”来帮助当选唐纳德·特朗普。 Kalashnikov 和 Afanasyeva 违反《外国代理人登记法》最高可判处五年监禁，洗钱罪最高可判处二十年监禁。然而，由于美国与俄罗斯没有引渡条约，因此他们被指控的罪名很可能永远不会在美国法庭上得到证实。 周三，美国财政部还对这两名俄罗斯人以及 RT 主编玛格丽塔·西蒙尼扬和另外三名 RT 高级员工进行了制裁。西蒙尼扬在 Telegram 上回应称“干得好，团队！” 美国司法部长梅里克·加兰在周三的新闻发布会上表示，对 Kalashnikov 和 Afanasyeva 的指控以及对另一名俄罗斯人涉嫌在网上散布反乌克兰内容的指控“明确表明俄罗斯政府，包括其最高层，愿意不惜一切代价来破坏我们的民主进程”。 西蒙尼扬嘲讽美国官员，称 RT 连续第三次选举试图干预美国政治。她在 Telegram 上的一篇后续帖子中写道：“如果他们完全把我们赶出去，他们将如何进行下次选举？”“除了散布关于强大 RT 的谣言之外，他们没有其他策略。” 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
