Six Angus heifer calves (234 kg) were assigned to either a high (HP; 126.1 g N/d) or low (LP; 66.5 g N/d) protein intake to evaluate ruminal criteria associated with movement of blood urea-N (BUN)-derived NH3-N from the rumen wall into interior ruminal digesta. Calves received 4.8 kg DM/d of diets containing 30% cottonseed hulls and 70% cornsoybean meal in equal portions at 4-h intervals. Follo...

Two experiments were conducted utilizing neonatal piglets. In the first experiment, 18 piglets were used to determine the effect of an oral supplement of 0, 12 or 24 ml of a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) product on subsequent milk consumption. Results from the weight-suckle-weight experiment showed that force-feeding 24 ml of the MCT decreased (P less than .05) milk intake but 12 ml did not. ...

In order to investigate the appropriate combination of chemical and bio-fertilizers and their effectiveness on corn seed yield while defoliating the upper leaves of the ear, a randomized complete block design experiment with four replications. Fertilizer treatments were applied at four levels including 100% urea, 75% urea + 100% Nitroxin, 50% urea + 100% Nitroxin, 25% urea + 100% Nitroxin. In h...

mechanical properties of grain are influenced by various factors including soil nutrients and grain moisture content at harvest time. in order to reduce mechanical losses, the design of different processing operations should be performed based on the knowledge of factors influencing the mechanical properties. the effects of urea fertilization methods and grain moisture content at harvest time o...

ABSTRACT- The influence of foliar application of urea, humic acid (HA), Zinc (Zn), and Boron (B) on potato yield (CV. Cror) was studied in a field experiment during 2010-2012 at the research farm of Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA). Treatments consisted of i) Control, ii) Nitrogen-Phosphorous-potassium (NPK) (250,150,250 kg ha-1) , iii) NPK (125,75,125 kg ha-1) with 0.03% HA, i...

production of onion all thruough the year particularly in semi tropical regions has been considered as an alternative to fulfil the local markets needs. in order to determine the best amount and method of urea fertilizer application so that to have higher yeild and lower amount of nitrate content the effects of seven levels of urea fertilizer including 0, 90, 180, 270, 360, 450 and 540 kg of ni...

An experiment on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) was conducted at the experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Gazipur during November 2012 to April 2013 to find out the suitable foliar doses and application frequency of urea and planofix (NAA). The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized complete block desig...

some research indicates that n2 fixation in soybean cannot provide adequate nitrogen for proper yield. therefore, the effect of nitrogen and bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteria on some agronomic characteristics and quality of soybean cultivars was examined based on split plot in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in 2012 at kerman township. treatments including control (w...
