Two experiments were conducted to determine the DE and ME content of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (corn-DDGS) containing variable ether extract (EE) concentrations and to develop DE and ME prediction equations based on chemical composition. Ether extract content of corn-DDGS ranged from 4.88 to 10.88% (DM basis) among 4 cornDDGS samples in Exp. 1 and from 8.56 to 13.23% (DM basis)...

'Dwarf stature' maize variety offers promises to withstand unfavorable growth environments of Kharif season. But, for developing such variety, dwarf stature inbred lines must be available. Here, twenty-four F3 populations of white maize were evaluated though assessment of their genetic variability, heritability, and character association for selection of dwarf stature promising lines based on y...

A genetically modified corn hybrid homozygous for the lpa1 allele, containing low phytate (LP), and its nearly isogenic equivalent hybrid (normal) were compared in two experiments with growing-finishing swine. In Exp. 1, 210 barrows (27 kg) were allotted to one of six dietary treatments with two corn hybrids (LP and normal) and three P feeding regimens. There were five replicate pens (seven pig...

Circular economy plays a key role in increasing the sustainability of agricultural sector, given countless possibilities transforming crop residues and recycling precious resources. The maize cultivation process produces significant amount residual organic materials, commonly left on field, as soil conditioner source nutrients even if some parts, such cob, play minor these actions. solutions fo...

Performance is one of the important stages in breeding sweet corn before releasing varieties. evaluation carried out to determine phenotypic character a genotype so that yield potential variety can be known. Research on performance Indonesia still relatively rare, this research needs with aim knowing and 23 commercial varieties ( Zea mays saccharata Sturt) Indonesia. The study was at Leuwikopo ...

Several bioassays were conducted with young chicks and pigs fed phosphorus (P)-deficient corn-soybean meal diets. With diets for chicks containing .62% Ca and .42% P (.10% available P), graded doses of a citric acid + sodium citrate (1:1, wt:wt) mixture (0, 1, 2, 4, or 6% of diet) resulted in linear (P < .01) increases in both weight gain and tibia ash. Relative to chicks fed no citric acid, ti...

This study assessed differences in nutrient composition, physical characteristics, and xylo-oligosaccharide content with or without xylanase treatment by maize genotype the grain position on cob. Ten cobs each from sixteen varieties sowed same field were collected classified considering grain's cob (basal vs apical). The majority of physicochemical characteristics influenced an interaction betw...

for this reason the samples were obtained from three area in kerman province that cartivate corn in large amounts (giroft, kahnooj, baft).the amounts of samples were enough for both voluntary consumption and investigation of digestibility. after that samples had been chopped by electric chopper we sampled again from every sample and its chemical compositions were determined with standard method...

We assessed the water requirements of ethanol from corn grain and crop residue. Estimates are explicit in terms of sources-green (GW) and blue (BW) water, consumptive and nonconsumptive requirements across the lifecycle, including evapotranspiration, application and conveyance losses, biorefinery uses, and water use of energy inputs, and displaced requirements or credits due to coproducts. Etha...

in order to study the combined and separate effects of phosphorus fertilizer, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungus on adjusting and reducing the loss of yield resulting from drought stress during the stage of growth of grain corn (sc704) an experiment was performed in aboureihan campus of the university of tehran, iran, during 2007-2008. the experiment was conducted as split p...
