Bashkir : poney russe élevé par les Bashkirs, anciens nomades qui se sont fixés dans le sud de l'Oural. Le Bachkortostan est une république membre de la Fédération de Russie, capitale Oufa. Origines très anciennes, qui remonterait au Cheval Sauvage de Mongolie comme les autres poneys russes ; il aurait eu l'influence de chevaux de selles (Don et Budienny), de trotteurs Orlov et de chevaux lourds (Ardennais). Petit cheval (135-150), un peu plus grand que l'altai, mais très robuste, docile, polyvalent et réputé pour son endurance. On distinguerait 2 types : le Bashkir des steppes, petit et léger utilisé sous la selle, et le Bashkir des montagnes, plus lourd, pour le trait. Les juments sont traditionnellement utilisées pour la production de lait. Une particularité : une toison frisée, semblable à l'astrakan, en hiver. 2, record 7, French, - bashkir

Hamid Ahmad has chosen beef for his studies on the production, processing, and storage of dried meat products. Mr Hamid is the head of the IDRC-supported Meat Processing Project of the Pakistan Council for Scientific and Industrial Research(PCSIR) in Lahore. His research team has concentrated on the development of products based on traditional Pakistani foods. The product they are most hopeful about is based on "barian", a food traditionally made mainly with pulses(edible seeds of leguminous plants). Because of rising costs and hygiene problems, the practice of using mutton in barian is not as common as it once was. By incorporating beef into the barian, the protein content of this widely used food product is greatly enhanced. 1, record 9, English, - barian
