The food balance introduces the consumption statistics of the food commodities groups, with an indication of domestic production, foreign trade and net stock in the provision of assets and its distribution to different uses, Also includes the amount of food prepared for human consumption, the average daily consumption per capita and the equivalent amount of calories and nutrients aligned food elements of proteins and fats. In addition to the presentation of the results of the food balance at food groups levels of year, 2011 compared to the results of year, 2000 in order to identify the development of the domestic production and the available consumption at national and individual levels, to be a guide towards to study and analysis of food levels in Egypt, as well as to meet production to consumption . Economic Affairs Sector ( EAS), is pleased to provide Study of Food Balance Sheet, for consecutive twenty one years to cover the food activities and to provide one of the basic services, necessary for those who are interested in food and nutrition fields. EAS is welcomed to receive all of the feedback views and observations, contributed to improve the next bulletin.

ABSTRACT: Fifteen cyclic Zaraibi goats aged between 3.5-5 years divided into three equal groups. Vaginal sponge impregnated with 50mg medroxy progesterone acetate (MAP) in group I or double dose of PGF2a in group II or combination between sponge and single dose of PGF2cx injected i.m. at 48 hours before removal of the vaginal sponge in group III. Superovulation occurred by inject ion of 1000 I.U of equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG) i.m. in all groups. Allcr last step of synchronization treatment, heat was detected every 4 hours with aid of aproned buck (Teaser buck). Transrectal ovarian scanning at 48 hours after last step of synchronization treatment that repeated every 6 hours till 78 hours at which ovulation can not be scanned. Onset of heat was significantly differed (P<0.01) among the three groups while, interval from onset of heat to ovulation was highly significant (P<0.001). At the same, time number of ovulations was 22, 18 and 32 for group I. II and III, respectively. Peak of ovulation time was ranged between 59 to 63 hours after last step of synchronization treatment. Key words: Ovulation, Goat, Ultrasonography. Estrous Synchronization. ,

Weed Research central laboratory The laboratory was founded in 2002, it includes a group of elite scientists, 32 researchers, 2 assistant researchers, 8 specialists and technicians. The laboratory is divided into the following Departments: 1-Weed control in field crops. 2-Weed control in horticulture crops and roadside. 3-Weed survey, ecology and physiology. Also divided into 10 regional laboratories on agriculture research stations. The most objectives are: 1- Conducting research, extension and training of concerned integrated weed management in various field, horticulture and vegetables crops. 2- Conducting protocols of herbicide evaluation in field, horticulture and vegetable crops. 3- Mapping weeds in different crop fields for controlling it. 4- Study weed seed bank dynamics in soils. 5- Estimation yield losses in various crops. 6- Minimizing parasitic weeds (Orobanche and Cuscuta) problems in host plants of various crops.
