Galang goat farm
No full textAbstract onlyThe name of the business is Galang Goat Farm located at Brgy. Salngan-Galang, Oton, Iloilo in a rented land, 12 kilometers south of Iloilo City.
The optimum potential of goat as one of the main sources of meat has not been fully tapped in the Philippines. A goat is popularly known as the poor man’s cow because the old folks can not afford to buy cow’s meat. Aside from being cheap, goat’s meat is more digestible compared to cow’s meat.
Goat raising is undertaken commonly by small farmers or backyard raisers. A farmer raises an average of one to two head goats. Only a handful of commercial-scale goat farms can be found in the province.
This study is conducted to determine the viability of the proposed goat farm business in the town of Oton. This study was also conducted to determine the appropriate strategies that the business may be able to employ in order to make it more efficient and effective. The Galang Goat Farm will produced a crossbreeding of anglo nubian race with the native goat of the province. This will upgrade the usual native goat which can produced meaty goat than the usual native goat. Such will also be the source of the red meat that is low cholesterol which is beneficial to the customers who are health conscious.
The proposed business will be a sole proprietorship business to be managed by the proponent. There will only be three (3) employees where only the caretaker is a regular employee and two (2) others namely the bookkeeper and veterinarian are part- time employees who will be on retainer’s fee arrangement. Everyone will be given their appropriate duties and responsibilities such as the time to render their services (e.g. normal hours of work and their salary package).
The production of a goat farm will be based on the guidelines that have been set and will be followed in the operation through the 5 years.
As a result of this study and the strategies that have been adopted, the following are expected:
By 2016 the Galang Goat Farm can sell a maximum of 70 heads of goats, with 93 goats in the inventory. The Galang goat farm will become the market leader in terms of quality of upgraded goat produced in the Province of Iloilo.
The Galang Goat Farm intends and envisions to produce a very distinctive quality of goat and to become the leading producer of high percentage of anglo-nubian goat in the Province of Iloilo.
The Galang Goat Farm by 2016 will make sure to have a quality management system; positive cash flows; effective goat farm management, and a sales marketing system.
The Financing strategy to be applied will be the internally sourced funds from earnings from the sales of goats and services of the buck. Galang Goat Farm does not intend to avail of a credit facility or loan from the bank. As shown in the projected statement of comprehensive income, it shows that the projection is increasing from the beginning up to 2016.
The projected results of operations will show the following:
1. Net income after tax of P80,176.23 on the second year to P161,931.42 in the fifth year or on the average of P97,585.36.
2. Assets (Net of depreciation) from the first year of P359,400.19 to P 862,122.30 in the fifth year.
3. Equity or networks of the owners from initial investment of P361,136.25 during the start of the business will increase to P 847,326.84.
4. The payback period is 3 years and 8 months while the discounted payback period is 4 years and 3 months.
The market of the goat industry is expected and predicted to be of the same volume and level over the next period of time with aggressive promotion of the goat industry. The Galang Gaot Farm expects and assumes that by 2016 demand for goat meat in the entire province of Iloilo will be at least 70 heads. The Galang goat farm intends also to target other provinces where there is scarcity of goat meat. The target customers includes the supermarkets, wet markets, and individuals.
The competitors of Galang Goat Farm are Espanola Dairy Goat Farm and backyard raisers. The competitors are also the sellers who are the same as those of the Galang Goat Farm. As far as target market concerned, visibly present competitors in the wet markets and most of the individual customers prefer to buy directly from the farm.
The Galang Goat Farm has carefully prepared a financial projection in order to achieve the expected sales and profits for the next five years.

Environmental odour quantification by ioms: Parametric vs. non-parametric prediction techniques
No full textOdour emissions are a global issue that needs to be controlled to prevent negative impacts. Instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) are an intelligent technology that can be applied to continuously assess annoyance and thus avoid complaints. However, gaps to be improved in terms of accuracy in deciphering information, especially in the implementation of the mathematical model, are still being researched, especially in environmental odour monitoring applications. This research presents and discusses the implementation of traditional and innovative parametric and non-parametric prediction techniques for the elaboration of an effective odour quantification monitoring model (OQMM), with the aim of optimizing the accuracy of the measurements. Artificial neural network (ANN), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARSpline), partial least square (PLS), multiple linear regression (MLR) and response surface regression (RSR) are implemented and compared for prediction of odour concentrations using an advanced IOMS. Experimental analyses are carried out by using real environmental odour samples collected from a municipal solid waste treatment plant. Results highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the analysed models and their accuracy in terms of environmental odour concentration prediction. The ANN application allows us to obtain the most accurate results among the investigated techniques. This paper provides use-ful information to select the appropriate computational tool to process the signals from sensors, in order to improve the reliability and stability of the measurements and create a robust prediction model

Next-generation of instrumental odour monitoring system (IOMS) for the gaseous emissions control in complex industrial plants
No full textInstrumental odour monitoring system classification performance optimization by analysis of different pattern-recognition and feature extraction techniques
No full textInstrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) are intelligent electronic sensing tools for which the primary application is the generation of odour metrics that are indicators of odour as perceived by human observers. The quality of the odour sensor signal, the mathematical treatment of the acquired data, and the validation of the correlation of the odour metric are key topics to control in order to ensure a robust and reliable measurement. The research presents and discusses the use of different pattern recognition and feature extraction techniques in the elaboration and effectiveness of the odour classification monitoring model (OCMM). The effect of the rise, intermediate, and peak period from the original response curve, in collaboration with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a pattern recognition algorithm, were investigated. Laboratory analyses were performed with real odour samples collected in a complex industrial plant, using an advanced smart IOMS. The results demonstrate the influence of the choice of method on the quality of the OCMM produced. The peak period in combination with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) highlighted the best combination on the basis of high classification rates. The paper provides information to develop a solution to optimize the performance of IOMS
Statistical prediction models for the odour quantificaton in terms of odour concentration: analysis and comparison
No full textMeasuring odour concentration is a significant step to achieve efficient environmental odour management in continuous, objective and repeatable manner. To deal with this, researchers developed instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) by applying odour monitoring models (OMM) for prediction. At present, limited data are available in the literature regarding the exploration of different prediction models to quantify the odour emissions in terms of odour concentration.
This study presents and compares different types of parametric and nonparametric predictive models (i.e., artificial neural network (ANN), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARSpline), partial least squares (PLS), multiple linear regression (MLR), response surface regression (RSR)) with the aim to increase the reliability of the odour concentration prediction by using IOMS for environmental odour monitoring. The experimental studies are carried out considering odour samples collected from the organic fractions in municipal solid waste. All samples undergone seedOA eNose and
dynamic olfactometry analysis as reference methods. The coefficient of determination (R2 ) and root mean square
error (RMSE) were used to measure the goodness-of-fit of the models.
Results indicate the strengths and weaknesses of the analyzed models and highlight their accuracy in terms of odour concentration prediction
Full-scale odor abatement technologies in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs): A review
No full textThe release of air pollutants from the operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is often a cause of odor annoyance for the people living in the surrounding area. Odors have been indeed recently classified as atmospheric pollutants and are the main cause of complaints to local authorities. In this context, the implementation of effective treatment solutions is of key importance for urban water cycle management. This work presents a critical review of the state of the art of odor treatment technologies (OTTs) applied in full-scale WWTPs to address this issue. An overview of these technologies is given by discussing their strengths and weaknesses. A sensitivity analysis is presented, by considering land requirements, operational parameters and efficiencies, based on data of full-scale applications. The investment and operating costs have been reviewed with reference to the different OTTs. Biofilters and biotrickling filters represent the two most applied technologies for odor abatement at full-scale plants, due to lower costs and high removal efficiencies. An analysis of the odors emitted by the different wastewater treatment units is reported, with the aim of identifying the principal odor sources. Innovative and sustainable technologies are also presented and discussed, evaluating their potential for full-scale applicability
