An investigation of the moisture content in the walls of a straw-bale building
This paper examines the use and accuracy of a moisture probe used in the walls of a straw-bale building. The performance of the moisture probe is assessed against laboratory based measurements. The measurements from a number of moisture probes placed in the walls of a case study straw-bale building over a two-year period are presented. The moisture content measurements from the building are dis...
متن کاملunopened whole straw bale processing with urea is better than opened straw bale processing in feedlot systems
in order to investigate the effect of processing type (whole straw bale processing or opened straw bale processing with urea) on diet digestibility, economical and productive parameters in feedlot cattle, 18 holstein bull with average body weight 224.72 ± 20.45 kg were used in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 6 replicate. treatments 1, 2 and 3 contained 40% typical straw, 40...

Introduction: Identifying occupational hazards and managing occupational safety and health risks is the most important mission and responsibility of the health and safety management system in organizations and adopting coded plans to achieve this is the key to continuously improving this system and promoting it. Method: This descriptive-analytic research has been written to determine the optim...
متن کاملEffects of bale moisture and bale diameter on spontaneous heating, dry matter recovery, in vitro true digestibility, and in situ disappearance kinetics of alfalfa-orchardgrass hays.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)-orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) hay was made in 96 large-round bales over 3 harvests during 2006 and 2007 to assess the effects of spontaneous heating on dry matter (DM) recovery, in vitro true digestibility (IVTD), and in situ disappearance kinetics of DM. Throughout these harvests, bales were made at preset diameters of 0.9, 1.2, or 1.5 m and at moisture conc...
متن کاملThe effect of level of straw bale provision on the behaviour and leg health of commercial broiler chickens.
This study aimed to assess the effect of the number of straw bales (SBs) provided on the behaviour and leg health of commercial broiler chickens. Houses containing ~23 000 broiler chickens were assigned to one of two treatments: (1) access to 30 SBs per house, '30SB' or (2) access to 45 SB per house, '45SB'. This equated to bale densities of 1 bale/44 m2 and 1 bale/29 m2 of floor space within h...
