Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of microwaving, autoclaving (moist heating), and roasting (dry heating) on gas production parameters and in situ rumen degradability of soybean meal (SBM). SBM was treated by roasting at 140℃ for 30 and 60 min, and at 160℃ for 30 and 60 min, autoclaving at 121℃ for 20 min, and microwaving for 2, 4, and 6 min. A gas production trial...

Dry matter intake (DMI) is fundamentally important in nutrition because it establishes the amount of nutrients available to an animal for health and production. Actual or accurately estimated DMI is important for the formulation of diets to prevent underfeeding or overfeeding of nutrients and to promote efficient nutrient use. Underfeeding of nutrients restricts production and can affect the he...

in order to study the yield and forage quality of intercropping barley (hordeum vulgare) and mustard (sinapis alba) in different planting dates, a factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with three replications was carried out at farm research station, gonbad -e- qabus university. factors were included as three planting dates (15 november, 6 and 20 december 2006) and fo...

in order to study the effect of irrigation cut on dry matter remobilization and some of agronomy traits on spring barley, a field experiment was conducted by using a split-plot based on randomized complete block design (rcbd), in three replications, at agricultural and natural resource research center of ardebil, in 2009. irrigation treatments included normal irrigation (as local routine in pas...

in this study production of iranian uf white cheese with probiotic strains of lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium lactis was investigated. cheese samples were ripened at 6°c for 60 days. the viability of probiotic strains and chemical compositions such as dry matter, ph, salt, protein and fat were assayed during ripening days. cheese samples also were analyzed in terms of textural pro...
