Nitrogen (N) losses from cattle feedlots are of concern due to loss of valuable N and enrichment of the atmospheric N pool. Nutritional methods to decrease such losses would have economic and environmental benefits. One method to decrease N losses is by increasing carbon (C) on the pen surface. The most cost effective method of decreasing N losses with C may be feeding diets lower in digestibil...

To screen additives and their mixed ratio suitable for the mycelial growth and fruiting body formation of Oudemansiella radicata in the oak sawdust, additives such as rice bran, fermented soybean powder and wheat bran were used. Generally, the mycelial growth of O. radicata has been stable on oak sawdust mixed with rice bran of 5~20%. In case that O. radicata was cultured for about 30 days at 2...

A study was carried out to find out efficiency of rice bran in removal of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium from bisolute system. The different experimental conditions such as temperature, adsorbent amount, adsorbent particle size and concentration were studied. The results showed that 100% removal was achieved for both lead and cadmium by using rice bran at 300C, contact time 100-140 minut...

Nano-rice bran/TiCl4has been prepared from rice bran and TiCl4 in n-hexane as solvent. Thennanoricebran/TiCl4 has been introduced as a novel catalystfor the three component synthesis of pyrano[3,2-b] pyransfrom the simple one-pot reactionbetweenaryl aldehydes,cyanoacetamide and kojicacid.Cleanliness, an eco-friendly catalyst, simple methodology, short time, and excellent yields ofproducts are s...

two experiments were conducted to investigate interactions of wheat bran, barley bran, or soybean hulls with sodium deoxycholate and cholesterol in broiler chickens. a completely randomize design was used with a 4×2 factorial arrangement and 256 one-day old broiler chickens (ross 308) with 8 experimental diets in 4 replicates of 8 birds per replicate for each experiment. factors for first exper...

Feeding dietary fibre in the form of bran induced changes in bile salt metabolism in five people with intact gall bladders. There was evidence of reduced dehydroxylation of bile salts; the proportion of deoxycholate conjugates in bile was reduced and the transfer of radioactivity from labelled taurocholate to deoxycholate was decreased. These findings, which were independent of changes in intes...

Large portions of rice bran protein cannot be solubilized by mild solvents, but endoprotease use increases protein recovery. Bran was treated with 2 commercial proteases to achieve 8% to 9% peptide bond hydrolysis. The exoplus endprotease was preferred to just using endopeptidases as it allowed the production of protein hydrolysates with enhanced functional properties. Solubility and emulsifica...

The aim of the present work was focused on the cellulase production by Aspergillus niger using different substrates (i.e) rice bran, wheat bran, black gram bran, coconut oil cake, groundnut oil cake, and gingely oil cake. Solid state fermentation holds tremendous potentials for the production of the enzyme cellulase by Aspergillus niger. These agro industrial residues are cheap raw materials fo...

effects of supplemental phytase and xylanase in a corn-soybean meal based diet containing 250 g/kg wheat bran, were investigated. on broiler performance and phosphorus degradability and nitrogen digestibility. phytase (500 and 1000 ftu) and xylanase (2700 and 5400 exu) individually and in combination were added to the basal diet and given to 6 replicate groups (4 birds per replicate). at 21...

It is unknown if particle size plays a role in extracting health promoting compounds in wheat bran because the extraction of antioxidant and phenolic compounds with particle size reduction has not been well documented. In this study, unmilled whole bran (coarse treatment) was compared to whole bran milled to medium and fine treatments from the same wheat bran. Antioxidant properties (capacity, ...
