Anim. Sci. 86: 279–290. In order to explore the value of herbage for the production of ruminant products with a high content of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a study was undertaken to determine the co...

Merrill] ing the early growth stages can suppress the N2 fixation reproductive stages has the potential to increase soybean productivity. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of N fertilizer process. Fertilizer N...

in order to study the effects of irrigation levels on growth criteria, yield components and seed yield of four ecotypes of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during growing season 2010-2011. three irrigation levels (200...

This paper reports on the effects of plant species diversity and sowing method pasture yield quality. Nineteen seed mixtures perennial ryegrass (PR), plantain (Pl), white clover (WC) red (RC) were sown 26 March 2015 at Lincoln University. Four PR, Pl WC repeated with separated in alternate drill rows. Plots grazed by sheep irrigated. After 4 years, a mixture 25% each based count – equivalent to...

In this study, extraction of soluble proteins from rapeseed cake using different conventional and innovative extraction processes in order to maximize the extraction yield has been investigated. Firstly, various extraction techniques including ultrasound, microwave, and percolation were tested to increase the protein recovery efficiency. Secondly, response surface methodology (RSM) using a cent...

In an automatic milking unit, a daytime grazing system with production pasture (group P) was compared with offering cows a small grass-covered paddock only for exercise and recreation, i.e. exercise pasture (group E). Two experiments (Exp1 and Exp2) were performed during 12 and 5 weeks with 53 cows and 42 cows, respectively. Group P was offered new pasture daily with night-time access to grass ...

Two field experiments were conducted to know the effect of different doses of nitrogen fertilizer on the growth, botanical parameters and yield of maize and jumbo fodder cultivated with cowpea as inter crop and evaluation of silage. The experimental plots for Jumbo with cowpea and maize with cowpea were applied to nitrogen (N2) levels as urea 0, 100, 150kg ha-1 and 0, 150, 220 kg/ha, respective...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects interseeding crabgrass (CG) with two annual summer legumes on forage nutritional composition, dry matter (DM) yield, and in vitro fiber digestibility. conducted as a randomized complete block design four replicates per treatment. Plots were randomly assigned one six mix treatments. Crabgrass, cowpea (CWP), lablab (LL) planted monoculture o...

Opinions vary regarding how much distiller’s grains (DG) can be used effectively in lactation rations. In order to better understand conflicting reports and recommendations about the effect of DG on milk yield we examined 23 studies about DG in the dairy science literature. Inclusion of DG in treatment diets ranged from 4 to 42% of dietary DM across all studies. Our analysis of the entire datab...

Exogenous brassinolide (BR) application is a feasible measure to alleviate abiotic stresses on crop productivity. The effects of BR at the silking-stage accumulation, translocation, and remobilization dry matter (DM) nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) waxy maize exposed post-silking high temperature (HT) were studied using Jingkenuo2000 (JKN2000, heat-tolerant) Yunuo7 (YN7, heat-sensit...
