The nutritive values of non-processed and processed pistachio peel with Neurospora sitophila were evaluated. The chemical composition of samples was evaluated by laboratory analysis. An in vitro digestibility study was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM). Digestible organic matter in the dry matter (DOMD) to estimate the metabolizable energy (ME)...

PENKOV, D., 2007. Duration of balance trials with caecectomized Muscovy drakes (C. moshata L.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 13: 375-378 The decrease of excretion of caecectomized 42-44 wk. Muscovy drakes up to minimum relatively stable levels was evaluated by measuring excreted dry matter and amino acids in regular intervals. The dynamics of the quantity of excreta and amino acids was recorded up to ...

pomegranate (punica granatum l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, whose many varieties are cultivated. fruits are widely consumed fresh and in processed forms as juice, jams and etc. pomegranate peel, as a by-product of the commercial juice industry, is a rich source of bioactive compounds. this research has been done to evaluate and compare physical characteristics, total phenolics, total...

Boron (B) is essential to growth at low concentrations and limits growth and yield when in excess. Little is known regarding plant response to excess B and salinity occurring simultaneously. In this study, two models of Leibig-Sprengel (LS) and Mitscherlich-Baule (MB), originally proposed to explain plant response to nutrients only, were modified to evaluate canola yield response to combined le...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bacterial inoculation on the fermentation and aerobic stability of corn silage and on the dry matter degradability and milk composition when fed to sheep or cows. Four male sheep were selected to measure dry matter degradability of uninoculated (UCS) and inoculated (ICS) corn silage. Milk composition was measured for 22 Holstein cows, separ...

This experiment consisted of two popular mango varieties in Bangladesh (viz., Langra and Khirshapat) and four different levels of Gibberellic acid (GA3) solution, namely control, 100, 200 and 400 ppm. The two factors experiment was assigned in randomized complete block design with tree replicates. Data obtained from various biochemical analyses in terms of physicochemical properties and shelf l...

Greenhouse pot culture studies were conducted to evaluate the bioremediation potential of spinach for removal of cadmium. The results indicated that spinach was able to take up cadmium in substantial quantity in the shoot. There were no visual cadmium toxicity effects on spinach and no significant reduction in the dry matter yield up to 20 μg g cadmium. Significant growth retardation of fenugre...

Forty-eight crossbred weaner pigs divided into three groups of sixteen pigs each were used to assess the effect of feeding frequency on the performance and nutrient digestibility. The same type and quantity of feed was rationed once, twice and thrice daily. Performance of pigs fed twice daily was better than those fed once per day. Digestibility of dry matter, crude protein and crude fibre incr...

in order to study of effects of deficit irrigation on morphological traits and growth indices variation of corn forage (sc. 704) in rasht region, an experiment based on randomized complete design with four treatments and three replication was conducted in 2007 growing season, at research farm of faculty of agriculture, university of guilan. experimental treatments consisted of: no-irrigation, 1...
