Oftentimes, corn processors believe that ground corn (raw material) and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) are interrelated in certain quality parameters. Yet, previous studies, although rather limited, have not established this relationship. In this study, six ground corn samples and their resulting DDGS were analyzed for particle size distribution (PSD), using a series of six select...

Abstract The monk parakeet ( Myiopsitta monachus ) has been introduced in the last decades to many cities parts of world. For most this time it restricted primarily urban areas, but is starting spread rural habitats. In its native range, considered a pest for agriculture, consuming wide variety crops such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. However, there very little information about potential ...

An experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2020 at Fodder Production Farm Livestock Research Station (Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University), Lam Farm, Guntur. A.P, to find out effect basal application Nitrogen and Zinc on growth yield Baby corn (Zea mays L.). The laid in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments each treatment replicated thrice. Treatments consisted combination thr...

The study was conducted at Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa, Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) Cabitan, Mandaon, Masbate. experimental design used 3 x 7 CRD factorial with three varieties mushrooms (Pink Oyster, White Abalone, Milky Mushroom), seven agricultural substrates as treatments, Treatment A (70% rice straw 30% sawdust), B corn cob), C Carbonized Rice Hull), D ...

Sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata), popularly known as sugar or pole is a specialty maize having high content at milk early dough stage. As the considered an exhaustive crop, requires more nutrient, so integrated nutrient management practices play important role in sustaining productivity of sweet corn. A field experiment was conducted during 2019 and 2020 order to study effect on yield post...

This study reports an industrially applicable non-sterile xylitol fermentation process to produce xylitol from a low-cost feedstock like corn cob hydrolysate as pentose source without any detoxification. Different immobilization matrices/mediums (alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, agarose gel, polyacrylamide, gelatin, and κ-carrageenan) were studied to immobilize Candida tropicalis NCIM 3123 cells fo...

An experiment (3 trials) was conducted to determine the AME(n) of 15 corn co-products obtained from various wet and dry milling plants, and to develop prediction equations for AME(n) based on chemical composition. Co-products included distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS, n = 6), high-protein distillers dried grains (n = 2), corn germ (n = 2), corn germ meal, corn bran with solubles, cor...

Corn cob is considered an agricultural bio-waste that can be reused and incorporated in the building industry as a thermal insulation material. However, more research required to obtain detailed analysis what concerns materials' performance using this waste raw material and, consequently, their sustainability profile. In context, study aims evaluate behaviour environmental impact of two differe...
