this experiment was conducted to quantify leaf production and senescence in wheat. the experiment was carried out at research farm of the gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources, gorgan, iran in 2005 using a randomized complete design considering sowing dates as environment. treatments were sowing date (14 december, 20 jan and 21 feb, 2005) and cultivars (aria, atrak, k...

Cuphea PSR23, a semi-domesticated, highcapric-acid hybrid from Cuphea viscosissima · Cuphea lanceolata, is being developed as a potential commercial alternative source of medium-chain fatty acids. The present study evaluated the effects of initial seed moisture and final moisture contents of cooked flaked seed on Cuphea’s pressing characteristics and the quality of the extracted oil. Seeds with...

Treatments were arranged in a 3 × 3 × 3 factorial design consisting of 3 levels of added fiber (0, 2 and 4% oat hulls), added moisture (0, 2 and 4% tap water) and added protein (0, 2 and 4% soybean meal). Fiber, moisture and/or protein were added to a corn/soybean based basal diet that was formulated to Cobb specifications. Feed was manufactured at the West Virginia University pilot feed mill u...

Abstract A pilot plant scale of SFE (steam flash explosion) chamber has been developed in order to process raw grobogan soybean. The objectives this research were study the physicochemical changes soybean term reaction kinetics approach and determine optimal variables produce high quality We used 2.5 kg 5 soybean, representing 75% 50%, respectively, headspace volume chamber. After soaking water...

this study was conducted to compare fungi and whole rumen microorganisms (wrm) digestibility of treated sugarcane pith by fungi and of buffalos and holstein cows. dry matter (dm), neutral and acid detergent fiber (ndf and adf) digestibilities of steam treated sugarcane pith (stp) by fungi and wrm were compared with a two-steps digestion technique, gas production (gp) and specific rumen fungi cu...

Three hundred forty-seven crossbred heifers (330 +/- 11 kg initial BW) were used in a randomized complete block study to identify the optimal level of dried corn distillers grains with solubles (DGS) in flaked corn finishing diets. Fifty-four pens were used, with 9 pens per treatment and 6 to 7 heifers per pen. Finishing diets were steam-flaked corn-based and were fed once daily for 148 d. Diet...
