Practical strategies to improve test efficiency

Strategies to Improve Rumen Microbial Efficiency

Though hidden from view, the rumen and its microbes hold a central role in feeding of cattle. During ruminal fermentation, microbes break down fiber and other feed components and produce volatile fatty acids (VFA). In the process, microbes generate adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, energy) for themselves, then harness part of this ATP to produce microbial protein. The VFA so produced meet up to 70%...

Strategies to Improve Economic Efficiency of the Dairy Input Data

Grouping cows is a common practice farmers use to manage their herd more efficiently. Farmers use this strategy to separate far-off, close-up, sick, fresh, and pregnant cows. Grouping addresses cows’ specific needs. However, grouping lactating cows for nutritional purposes and providing groups with more precise diets has not been adopted as widely as it could be, despite the fact that many stud...

Strategies to Improve Pump Efficiency and Life Cycle Performance

In today’s business environment, paper companies are looking for new avenues to lower energy and operating costs. There is a growing awareness that centrifugal pump optimization can significantly reduce electrical energy demand while improving pump and process reliability. Proper pump selection, sizing and operation are important to mill economic performance. Historically, pump design has focus...

Biohydrogen Production: Strategies to Improve Process Efficiency through Microbial Routes

The current fossil fuel-based generation of energy has led to large-scale industrial development. However, the reliance on fossil fuels leads to the significant depletion of natural resources of buried combustible geologic deposits and to negative effects on the global climate with emissions of greenhouse gases. Accordingly, enormous efforts are directed to transition from fossil fuels to nonpo...
