Cargill is taking a lead in herd nutrition in the largest farm of Don Agro
This collaboration should increase the efficiency of dairy farming at Don Agro through increasing milk yield, improving animals' health and reducing costs.
An important advantage of working with Cargill is a change in the approach to feeding animals with attention to their need for a qualitative composition of the diet and the amount of feed consumed. The cooperation includes the introduction of Cargill's feeding programs and digital solutions.
One of them that is called DairyApp makes it possible to audit the farm directly on the tablet, saving all the necessary data that accumulates throughout usage of the application. This allows to track the progress made on all key indicators of the farm and make a detailed and in-depth analysis of the animals.
Cargill's Dairy Enteligen Premium service is also introduced to automatically collect and analyze data from the milking parlor, herd management and feeding programs, and creates a convenient visual report.
Another IT solution implemented at the Don Agro farm will be the use of the DairyMax ration calculation program, which allows not only the balance of ration based on the needs of the animal but also to predict the result and manage it, depending on the goals.
"We are pleased to cooperate with the largest milk producer in the Rostov region of Russia. We start by providing nutrition for one farm, but when we achieve results there, we are ready to take care of feeding other farms of Don Agro. We look forward to long and fruitful cooperation and believe that the modern technologies offered by Cargill will help our client achieve great results", said Mr. Jon Lauritzen, Country Director of Cargill in Russia.
The herd at the Don Agro farm in Novoselovka is approximately 1,300 heads of cattle which includes over 650 milking cows. According to preliminary calculations, cooperation with Cargill and transfer to a new nutrition scheme will increase average daily milk yield from 20.5 litres to 23 litres per milking cow.
"We have big expectations for cooperation with such an industry leader on agricultural and food markets. Firstly, interaction with Cargill is a guarantee of high quality. Secondly, the company offered us favorable conditions for cooperation, which significantly distinguished them from other nutrition providers. Novoselovka is the largest of our five farms. Therefore, the synergistic effect of increasing milk yield and optimizing the cost of nutrition should enhance profit", commented Mr. Marat Devlet-Kildeyev, Chief Executive Officer of Don Agro International.
The Group owns approximately 4,000 heads of cattle which include over 2,200 milking cows. In 2021, Don Agro produced 15.831 million litres of milk. At the same time, the priority of the Company's management is the efficiency of dairy production through caring for animals' health.
The Group sells raw milk to dairy processing companies for the production of fresh milk and other high-end processed dairy products. Customers compete for the Company's raw milk, that's why Don Agro generally sells it to a single large dairy producer in any given year. Such a supply agreement allows the Group price negotiations on a regular basis based on market conditions.

Genetec Delivers Its Best Quarter to Date
For the same quarter, Genetec's profit before tax (PBT) stood at RM21.0 million which is higher by 19.3% than the RM17.6 million posted in their second quarter (Q2FY2022), due to higher sales whilst costs remained stable. Revenue for the quarter stood at RM65.3 million, an increase of 98.5% QoQ, and a 10.1% increase over the preceding quarter Q2FY2022, bringing the annual total to RM164.9 million for the 9 months ending 31 December 2022 (9MFY2022). Earnings per share stood at 34.53 sen (fully diluted) in Q3FY2022 compared to EPS of 2.06 sen in Q3FY2021.
For the nine months of the financial year ended 31 March 2022 (9MFY2022), the Company recorded 2,656% higher PAT of RM44.1 million compared to the corresponding period of the previous financial year of RM1.6 million (9MFY2021). PBT for 9MFY2022 stood at RM47.5 million, which is 2,694% higher than the PBT of RM1.7 million while revenue is 96.3% higher at RM164.9 million compared to RM84.0 million of the corresponding period.
Genetec highlighted in their announcement, "We continue to progress with our plans. Earlier this month we concluded our Bonus Issue exercise announced on 25 October 2021 with the listing of the new issue of securities or 629,503,200 bonus shares (effective 11 January 2022) on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. In addition to rewarding our existing shareholders and improving share liquidity, we hope to encourage greater local retail participation.
Looking ahead, we continue to build on the electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage division and expect it to remain a significant and growing contributor to our overall performance. This growth will be driven by regional and worldwide demand as countries and businesses step up their efforts towards achieving the zero-emissions target set for 2050. Industries immediately impacting our business are those in transport and energy, both retail and industrial, as everything from day-to-day energy needs for both retail and commercial, heavy industry vehicles and machinery, public transport to e-scooters turn electric."
Genetec also cited The Economic Intelligence's 'Automotive in 2022' research report outlook for global sales of new vehicles that is expected to rise by 7.5% in 2022, surpassing 2019 levels. Prospects for the global sales of new EVs will continue to soar, rising by 51%, with Asia and North America leading the recovery. Whilst new emission rules will force transport vehicle makers and businesses to make far-reaching decisions about their energy sources and fossil-fuel models, this shift is also well supported by the growing number of policies to incentivise greater efforts towards renewable energy vehicles and generation. On a corresponding topic, Nasdaq expects energy storage to potentially emerge as the hottest market of 2022 as the trends advance over the course of the year.
Building on the momentum gained, Genetec's 11 January 2022 announcement of their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Thailand-based Asia Precision Public Company Limited (APCS) signals the Company's efforts to diversify its client base and growth strategy through greater exposure to the Thai and ASEAN markets. Plans are in the works to collaborate and conduct a feasibility study in relation to the potential development of a factory automation facility for energy storage system (ESS) in Thailand. The study will include but will not be limited to the economic, financial, technical, and legal feasibility for the most appropriate structure and details of the project.
Genetec concluded, "We continue to remain cautiously optimistic but vigilant as businesses and economies continue their fragile recovery after being battered down over the two-year pandemic. Adoption of technologies and automation across different industries are expected to continue as businesses seek greener solutions, to greater efficiencies and reliability in their production lines. The knock-on effect of technology adoption is the demand for storage, data, and intelligence, which will drive the potential of the global hard disk drive (HDD) market. Genetec expects growth for the segment to continue by 5.11% for the period of 2021 to 2026 due to data storage requirements, the booming laptop market and digitalisation."

Australian Patent Filings Up in 2021, Aided by Innovation Patent’s Demise
The number of standard patent applications filed in Australia exceeded 30,000 for the first time in 2021, increasing by nearly 3.6% over the previous year, and following on from two successive years of decline. Growth was driven primarily by direct national filings, with PCT national phase entry (NPE) filings up by less than 1% on 2020. Standard application filings by Australian residents experienced particularly strong growth, increasing by 21% over 2020 numbers, while applications by foreign residents grew by just 2%.
At first blush this looks like good news for Australian applicants, and thus for innovation in Australia. But the headline figures conceal a distorting influence on filing behaviour in 2021, namely the phasing out of the innovation patent system. It was entirely predictable that thousands of new innovation patent applications would be filed in the weeks leading up to the final deadline of 25 August 2021. What might have been less obvious is that the beginning-of-the-end of the innovation patent system would also lead to a spike in filings of new standard patent applications. Australian residents, in particular, filed more than six times as many direct standard applications in August 2021 as compared with a ‘normal’ month, accounting for a majority of the overall growth in resident filings for the year. All of these applications with a filing date on or before 25 August 2021 are able to provide a basis for future divisional innovation patent filings, for as long as they remain pending, and up to the final expiry date of the innovation patent system on 25 August 2029.
The down side of this boost in Australian resident filings, assuming that they indeed represent applications brought forward to beat the innovation patent deadline, is that we should expect to see a corresponding decline in the coming 12 months, just as we did following introduction of the Raising the Bar patent reforms in 2013.
Provisional filings suffered a further decline – the largest since 2013 – of nearly 12%. No doubt this can also be attributed at least partly to the phase out of the innovation patent system, with some applicants electing to file an innovation or standard application directly, prior to 26 August 2021, rather than file a provisional application as a basis for a future priority claim. The 2013 drop in provisional filings was similarly influenced by a desire to get a standard patent application into the system, and request examination, prior to commencement of the Raising the Bar patent law reforms. But even accounting for these disruptions, provisional filings have been in a general decline for many years, and 2021 looks to be a continuation of that trend. Provisional applications are filed almost exclusively by Australian residents, so this is not a good sign for the state of innovation and IP protection in Australia.
In a surprising turn of events, the growth in standard filings by Chinese applicants did not continue in 2021. Following a number of consecutive years of significant growth, I had previously predicted that 2021 could be the year in which filings by Chinese applicants surpassed those of Australian residents. But the jump in Australian filings combined with a 7% decline in filings from China to defeat that expectation. (For now.)
Australians have therefore remained the second largest users of their own patent system, with US residents once again being overwhelmingly the top filers. Standard applications from the US increased by nearly 5% in 2021, following a 1.6% decline in 2020. The other members of the top five countries of origin – China, Japan, and Germany – all experienced declines in 2021.
But enough with the summary – let’s look at some charts and tables!

How American Universites are Attracting New Students with Marijuana Degrees
Universities have a vital role in preparing thousands for careers in the cannabis industry. There is an urgent need to train students to deal with legal, financial, marketing, product development, medical care, and technology issues relating to the cannabis industry. At the current growth rates, the cannabis industry will support over 400,000 jobs this year, so it is best to fill these positions with competent individuals who have been appropriately trained.
Hodl4Gold (H4G) Acquires POW in First Ever Buyout on the BSC Network
Hodl4Gold, a 13% BUSD rewards token known for being the first to launch with multiple live utilities, is setting a new standard for projects in the tokenomics space. The highly anticipated project saw $10 million in market cap within minutes of launch, reaching a high of $20 million in its first two weeks, while paying out over $1 million in rewards and airdrops. The token now adds another industry first to its resume with the acquisition of Project One Whale (POW), adding over 4000 new holders to H4G in the first ever buyout on the Binance Smart Chain network.
Project One Whale, a reflection token in which holders share a percentage of profits generated through its investment fund, underwent internal turmoil last week as a number of trades made by the fund underperformed, causing division within upper management. The ensuing events saw several managing team members exit the project, leaving investors without direction or leadership as POW continued to fall over 90% from its all-time trading highs.
In an unprecedented move for the space, Hodl4Gold stepped in with an offer to the remaining POW leadership, out of concern for investors in what was once regarded to be a very promising project. The agreement saw the transfer of POW team assets, including the remaining investment fund, to Hodl4Gold, which was in turn used to buy H4G for distribution to all remaining POW holders.
Eligible POW holders will automatically receive a token swap of POW to H4G at a rate of 15:1, in what may prove to be the best investment to date for the short-lived fund. Hodl4Gold, with its aggressive product roadmap, has seen impressive growth since launch despite the downturn in the overall crypto market. The token will debut several utilities in the coming weeks, including an NFT marketplace to be directly integrated with their no-code minter dApp, which offers industry-low prices at 0.02 BNB per mint.
While extremely uncommon in the crypto world, let alone the DeFi space, the acquisition of POW by H4G may prove to be the precursor of a new trend in the cryptosphere. As the reward tokenomics space matures and competition between projects ramps up, tokens with strong financial outlooks and solid roadmaps may see more opportunities arise to merge with or acquire coins with less certain long-term prospects. Hodl4Gold, despite its relative newness on the scene, has demonstrated its commitment to these fundamentals, and with product development ahead of schedule, remains open to further acquisitions in the future.
