Rheological and nutritional properties of corn based extrudates incorporated with selected dehulled legumes (black gram, green gram, lentil and peas) made using low cost collet extruder at 5%, 10% and 15% levels were studied. There was a decreasing trend of all viscosity properties and degree of gelatinization with increase in legumes incorporation level. With increase in legumes incorporation,...

In this paper we have created some composites reinforced with corn cob powder and the matrix was made by a combination between Resoltech 1050 resin its 1058 hardener. For manufacturing, used manual casting technique. new manufactured composites, determined mechanical properties from tensile test according to ASTM D3039: Young modulus, breaking strength elongation at break. We also molded sample...

Following numerous biotechnological innovations, a variety of agricultural by-products can now be employed as low-cost substrates for the production secondary metabolites, such antibiotics, phytohormones, biofuels, pesticides, and organic acids. As an example, gibberellin (GA) growth phytohormones obtained by means, wherein gibberellic acid (GA3) is great interest worldwide in sector. The centr...

Corn residues (cobs, leaves and stalks) are abundantly available renewable materials that can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. Proper understanding of the physical properties of these materials is necessary for their use in thermochemical conversion processes. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of corn cobs, le...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate various wheat supplementation levels on growth performance, blood profiles, nutrient digestibility, and pork quality in growing-finishing pigs. METHODS A total of 120 growing pigs ([Yorkshire×Landrace]×Duroc), with an average 27.75± 1.319 kg body weight, were used in growth trial. Pigs were allotted into each treatment by body weight and sex in 4...

The objectives of this study were to partition corn grain into three digestible fractions and to measure the rate of disappearance of these fractions in vitro. Seventeen corn grain samples with varied fiber concentrations were extracted with either 80% ethanol or neutral detergent to obtain estimates of the pool size and digestion kinetics of the A, B1, B2, and C fractions. The carbohydrate sol...

The mechanical properties of materials such as natural rubber composites determine their usefulness engineering or biological materials. thermodynamic filled with clay and corn cob at varying volume fraction filler were studied a view relating comparing parameters (ΔG, ΔH ΔS) to (Young’s modulus, tensile strength, elongation break, etc) composites. prepared using standard compounding recipe. te...

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi and cow manure yield sweet corn on Ultisol. research was conducted using a randomized block design (RCBD) in factorial pattern. The first factor is mycorrhizal (AMF) which consists four levels, namely without AMF (A0), 5 g/planting hole (A1), 10 (A2), 15 (A3). second fertilizer (CMF) consisting three CMF (B0), tons ha...

Experiments were conducted to determine apparent ME (AME) and apparent nitrogen-corrected ME (AME(n)) of 21 meat and bone meal (MBM) samples and to develop regression equations for predicting energy value of MBM. One hundred ninety-eight 32-kg of BW barrows were used for the study. The 22 treatments consisted of 1 corn-soybean meal reference diet and 21 test diets in which 21 MBM samples replac...
