An experiment was conducted to study the effects of an emulsifier (glycerol polyethylene glycol ricinoleate: GPGR) and different sources of fat on the performance of Khaki Campbell ducks. Ducks were assigned into five groups with three replicates (10 ducks/ replicate) in each group. Treatments were a control diet (C1: without added oil and emulsifier), control diet added with 2% soybean oil (C2...

On the basis of the isomer-specific effects of trans fatty acids (FA) on human health, and the detrimental effect of t10,c12-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on cows' milk fat production, there is a need to identify factors that affect the shift from trans-11 to trans-10 pathway during ruminal biohydrogenation of FA. This experiment was conducted in vitro and aimed at separating the effects of th...

Oil bodies of plant seeds contain a triacylglycerol matrix surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids embedded with alkaline proteins called oleosins. Oil bodies isolated from maize (Zea mays L.) in a medium of pH 7.2 maintained their entities but aggregated when the pH was lowered to 6.8 and 6.2. Aggregation did not lead to coalescence and was reversible with an elevation of the pH. Further de...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects fermentation parameters on addition clove oil oat straw, alfalfa hay, and maize silage at a 3% dry matter basis. In vitro gas production, methane production (CH4), metabolic energy (ME), net lactation (NEL), organic digestion (OMD) were all influenced by (P

The study has examined productivity instability of major crops for 20 years by considering first period as 1998-99 to 2008-09 and second 2009-10 2018-19 at the district level in Karnataka state. Instability categories were grouped low < 15%, medium 15-30% ,High >30%. A value index indicates high stability crop productivity. Through Cudde Della Valle it was observed that, been declined ove...
