Feed production is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from dairy production and demands large arable and pasture acreage. This study analysed how regional conditions influence GHG emissions of dairy feed rations in a life cycle perspective, that is the carbon footprint (CF) and the land area required. Factors assessed included regional climate variations, grass/clover silage...

Biodiesel is a promising alternative, and renewable, fuel. As its production increases, so does production of the principle co-product, crude glycerol. The effective utilization of crude glycerol will contribute to the viability of biodiesel. In this review, composition and quality factors of crude glycerol are discussed. The value-added utilization opportunities of crude glycerol are reviewed....

A functional equivalence of feed-forward networks has been proposed to reduce the search space of learning algorithms. A novel genetic learning algorithm for RBF networks and perceptrons with one hidden layer that makes use of this theoretical property is proposed. Experimental results show that our procedure outperforms the standard genetic learning. Key-Words: Feedforward neural networks, gen...

A study of the safety use feed additive Liaform for target species – broiler chickens.
 is a yellowish liquid with specific odor. The contains lactic acid, formic sodium formate, propionic acid and water. Given composition additive, it can be attributed to two functional groups: preservatives substances or microorganisms that protect from damage by their metabolites, acidity regulators reg...

The BT/TAMUS 2032 (BT) cationic peptides are a group of related cationic peptides produced by a Gram-positive soil bacterium, Brevibacillus texasporus. Cationic amphiphilic peptides produced by host cells have been found to stimulate or prime the innate immune responses in mammals, but little information is available on the effects of bacterial-produced peptides on host immunity. We have previo...

Objective To analyse how antibiotics are imported, manufactured, distributed and regulated in Thailand. Methods We gathered information, on antibiotic distribution in Thailand, in in-depth interviews - with 43 key informants from farms, health facilities, pharmaceutical and animal feed industries, private pharmacies and regulators- and in database and literature searches. Findings In 2016-2...

production of chicken meat is an important branch of food industry. generally, poultry meat farmers aim to produce birds with superior body weight and feed conversion ratio. however, in line with current developments, there are other parameters that must to be taken into account such as lower body fat deposition and improvement in the nutrient composition of products corresponding to consumer r...
