Cottonseed of three Nigerian commercial varieties cotton, locational composite seed cotton and cottonseed meals were investigated with respect to their content gossypol (free total), tannins, phytin phosphorus. Free total ranged from 1.14 1.34% 1.21 1.59%, respectively in kernels, 0.028 0.064% 0.413 0.831%, meals. Varietal environmental factors appeared influence the while variability was due e...

Recent experiments have confirmed the low availability of lysine in cottonseed meal for growing pigs. This appears to arise from the processing conditions used to bind the free gossypol in the meal. It appears that portion of the lysine is absorbed in a form that is not utilized by the pig. There are indications that the other essential amino acids are affected in a similar manner. This decreas...

This experiment evaluated the effect of feeding dairy cows with cottonseeds containing BollGard r (Cry1Ac) and BollGard r II (Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab), Roundup Ready r (CP4 EPSPS) and control non-transgenic cottonseed on dry matter intake, milk yield and milk composition. Twelve lactating multiparous Argentinean Holstein cows weighing 570 kg (BW) were used in a 4x4 Latin square design, with 3 squares...

Producers' preferences for cottonseed with respect to price, seed type, yield, and fiber quality are examined by a willingness-to-pay approach via mail surveys. Results indicate a positive willingness to pay (WTP) for technology relative to conventional cottonseed, and WTP increases with the level of technology. Yield and quality also show a positive WTP. Larger farms have a higher WTP for tech...

Cultures of Alternaria alternata (three isolates) and Alternaria tenuissima (three isolates) obtained from cottonseeds and bolls were toxigenic when cultured on various laboratory media. A mycotoxin was isolated and identified as tenuazonic acid by using solvent partition, thin-layer chromatography, and instrument analyses. Toxicity was monitored with brine shrimp and chicken embryo bioassays. ...

It was observed in this laboratory that intravenous infusions of a cottonseed oil emulsion containing soybean phosphatides and Pluronie1 as emulsifying agents lowered the abnormally high serum lipid levels of patients with idiopathic hyperlipemia and primary hypercholesteremic xanthomatosis (1). It was then found that a single infusion of this emulsion given to fasting human subjects or dogs ca...

The price of feedstock is one of the most significant factors affecting the economic viability of biodiesel manufacturer. Many approaches were investigated to reduce the biodiesel production cost. The present work gave a preliminary study of two approaches to economically produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil (WCO) and flaked cottonseed. One was the use of ultrasound-assisted synthesis of bi...
