Chemical and Biological Evaluation of Ensiled Wheat Straw

Chemical Treatment of Wheat Straw

Effect of (Pleurotus florida) Fungi on Chemical Composition and Rumen Degradability of Wheat and Barley Straw

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of biological treatment withPleurotus floridafungi on chemical composition and rumen dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) degradability of wheat and barley straw. Wheat and barley straw were collected from Golestan province of Iran and after pasteurization mixed with fungi spawn (than 5% by weight). After 21 days samples were dried in oven (...

Changes of chemical and mechanical behavior of torrefied wheat straw

13 The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of torrefaction on the grindability of wheat straw. 14 Straw samples were torrefied at temperatures between 200 ̊C to 300 ̊C and with residence times between 0.5 to 15 3 hours. Spectroscopic information obtained from ATR-FTIR indicated that below 200 ̊C there was no obvious 16 structural change of the wheat straw. At 200-250 ̊C hemice...

Nutritive Value and Digestion Kinetics of Manure Ensiled Wheat Straw Treated with Varying Levels of Urea and Corn Grains

The aim of this was to study the nutritive value of urea and corn grain treated wheat straw ensiled with cattle manure. The different levels of urea (0, 2 and 4%) and corn grain (2 and 4%) were used to treat wheat straw. The urea-corn grain treated wheat straw was mixed with cattle manure in the ratio of 70:30. The silages were fermented in laboratory silos for 20, 30 and 40 days. After the com...

Evaluation of chemical and biological consequences of soil sterilization methods

Sterilized soils are commonly used for the study of xenobiotic sorption and as an abiotic control in biodegradation experiments. They are also used for the chemical study of nitrogen and carbon cycle processes and the elimination of the biological factors. In this research the effects of different soil sterilization methods such as autoclaving, fumigating and exposure to ultraviolet and microwa...
