Dumping or burning wastes or agro-industrial by-products present potential air and water pollution problems. High-moisture wastes are also difficult to burn. Many by-products have a substantial potential value as animal feedstuffs. Ruminants, especially, have the unique capacity to utilize fibre, because of their rumen microbes. This means that cereals can be largely replaced by these by-produc...

Orange peel molasses, a byproduct of juice production, contains high concentrations of phenols, including numerous flavanone and flavone glycosides, polymethoxylated flavones, hydroxycinnamates, and other miscellaneous phenolic glycosides and amines. Extensive fractionation of these phenols was achieved by adsorption, ion exchange, and size exclusion chromatography. Size exclusion chromatograph...

BACKGROUND Sugar beet molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of sugar beets into sugar. The molasses is known to contain sucrose and raffinose, a typical trisaccharide, with a well-established structure. Although sugar beet molasses contains various other oligosaccharides as well, the structures of those oligosaccharides have not been examined in detail. The purpose of this study wa...

Screening of different adjuvants, namely, suspending agents, phagostimulants, stickers, antimicrobial agents, and UV screens to develop aqueous biopesticidal suspensions of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) variety kurstaki HD-1 fermented broths, specifically, nonhydrolyzed sludge, hydrolyzed sludge, starch industry wastewater, and soya (commercial medium), were investigated. The selected suspending ...

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects replacing hay and dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) with whole cottonseed (WCS) in diets balanced for physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) on performance, carcass characteristics, plasma metabolites finishing cattle. Heifers (n = 103) steers 104) were blocked by sex bodyweight (BW) randomly allocat...

There is a scarcity of studies evaluating the influence different commonly marketed sugars in water kefir beverage production. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate fermentation grains sugary solutions: brown, demerara, refined, coconut, and cane molasses. A total 10% each type sugar was dissolved sterile which were then added fermented for 48 h at room temperature. Analyses pH/acidity, solub...

Diets based on molasses as the principle source of energy for cattle are well established (Preston and Willis 1974). However, the use of molasses as an energy source for sheep, particularly under drought conditions, has not been studied extensively. The main purpose of the studies reported here was to measure the intake and production of sheep given diets containing a high proportion of molasse...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of sorghum-based distillers dried grains with solubles in isocaloric diets for nursery and finishing pigs. Rate and efficiency of gain in nursery pigs were decreased with 45% or more distillers grains. For finishing pigs, efficiency of gain was improved as distillers grains was increased to 60% of the diet, and carcass fatness was increase...

The existence of a fat-soluble dietary factor essential for guinea pig nutrition was well established through investigations by Wulzen and Bahrs (l-3) and has been confirmed by Anderson and Caldwell.’ The isolation of a highly active fraction from raw cream, capable of alleviating an induced stiffness in guinea pigs, was described by van Wagtendonk and Wulzen (4). It seems apparent from physiol...
