Dietary Mg [magnesium] supplementation using inorganic Mg sources such as MgSO4 and MgCl2 have... been shown to improve meat quality. Studies comparing the influence of organic and inorganic magnesium compounds on meat quality indicate that the improvements in muscle colour, drip loss, and the reductions in the incidence of PSE [pale, soft and exudative pork] were greater with organic magnesium compounds such as magnesium aspartate and magnesium Bioplex.

CONT

La panachure jaune du riz (Rice Yellow Mottle) est la principale maladie qui affect la riziculture irriguée en Afrique et à Madagascar. Transmise par un coléoptère, elle est due à un virus de la famille des Sobémovirus, identifié en 1966 pour la première fois au Kenya par un chercheur néerlandais, puis en 1977 en Côte d'Ivoire par des virologues de l'IRD. Depuis, le virus s'est répandu à la faveur de l'introduction dans les rizières africaines de variétés de riz productives mais très sensibles à celui-ci et à la suite de l'intensification de la riziculture. Extrêmement virulent, il peut détruire la quasi totalité d'une récolte.
