dissolution of phosphate by p solubilizing microorganisms is dependent on the environmental conditions and the composition of the medium culture. present study conducted to investigate the effect of two fungal species, moisture content and rock phosphate content on water soluble phosphate (wsp), ph and changes of medium weight with time. two fungi aspergillus niger and one isolate from rock pho...

Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) of ration for estimation of rumen degradability of fiber in sheep. In experiment 1, to determine feed iNDF, four ruminal fistulated Zel ewes were used. Three grams of alfalfa hay, corn silage, barley grain, wheat bran, ration 1 (including alfalfa hay and concentrate), and ration 2 (including ...

Essential oils (EOs) are secondary metabolites of plants with antimicrobial functions that can be used as silage additives, but their effectiveness has been inconsistent. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects EOs additives on nutritional quality, fermentative products, microbial population, and in vitro rumen fermentation. A total 17 articles consisting 113 studies (comparisons) w...

To observe the changes of lung injury when diabetic rats were treated with low concentration of ethanol (EtOH) and analyze the related mechanisms, male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control, diabetic (DM), and EtOH+DM groups. Diabetic rat was mimicked by injection of streptozotocin intraperitoneally. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, lung weight (LW), body weight (BW), and LW/BW w...

A lab-scale ensiling study was carried out to investigate the fermentation quality of water hyacinth (WH) supplemented with molasses, rice bran, as an absorbent, and an inoculant in the form of fermented vegetable juice and their combinations. After wilting the water hyacinths for 7 h to a dry matter (DM) content of 240 to 250 g/kg, the following treatments were applied: i) Control (C), WH only...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different heating treatments (autoclaving, roasting, steam flaking and microwave irradiation) on chemical composition, anti- nutritional compounds (tannin and phenolic), in situ dry mater (dm) and crude prate in (cp) degradability. three fistulated bull in a complete randomized block design and in vitro gas production kinetics (complete random...
