Biodegradable and edible electronics will need electronic components for signal modulation wireless communication; hence, non-linear high frequency be required. Here, a method to fabricate nanodiodes on isomalt (a sugar substitute) substrates is reported. Coplanar electrodes of Al Au with nanogap separation were fabricated top through design an adhesion lithography process specifically accommod...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of rapeseed meal and diet formulation based on total and digestible amino acid (aa) using 192 day old ross 308 male broiler chicks. experiment was carried out using a complete block design with 4*2 factorial arrangements. the factors included different levels of rapeseed meal (0, 10, 20 and 30%) and two method of aa form...

Abstract Diet composition and intake are the main determinants of nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) in beef cattle. Accounting for interactions comparative effects different feedstuff types on NUE N losses urine faeces can inform development financially environmentally sustainable feeding protocols This study aimed to assess impact various individual feedstuffs types/groups partitioning cattle,...

Ryegrass is a highly nutritious grass that can be utilized for grazing or production of baleage, haylage, or hay. In contrast to many regions of the world that are suitable for production of perennial ryegrass, annual ryegrass varieties are best suited for use in the Southeast US. When properly managed, annual ryegrass provides moderate concentrations of degradable protein. Annual ryegrass is h...

One member of each of three pairs of monozygous twin dairy cows was fed freshly cut Glycine javanica and kikuyu-grass pasture ad libitum while the co-twins were fed lucerne hay ad libitum and a concentrate mixture. The mean daily digestible organic matter and digestible crude protein intakes for the cows fed pasture were 7.0 kg and 1.35 kg, and for the cows fed hay and concentrates were 10.2 kg...

The digestible protein requirements of lactating ewes were studied with Chios 3 ewes during the declining state of lactation in two nitrogen balance and three feeding trials. A 60 kg ewe producing 1.0 or 2.0 kg milk of 6% protein and maintaining weight equilibrium, required 134 and 230 g digestible protein daily, respectively. These requirements were obtained with ewes receiving 110 Kcal metabo...

A total of 210 nursery pigs (initially 19.6 lb and approximately 28 d of age) were used in a 21-d growth assay to determine the optimal ratio of valine to lysine to maximize growth performance. The seven treatments consisted of a basal diet (14.2% CP; 1.07% apparent digestible lysine) with increasing ratios of valine:lysine (48, 53, 58, 63, 69, and 74%) and a negative control containing 0.97% l...

To determine values for the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS), it is recommended that ileal amino acid (AA) digestibility values obtained in growing pigs are used to characterise protein quality in different foods. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to determine the standardised ileal digestibility (SID) of AA in eight cereal grains (yellow dent maize, Nutridense maize, dehu...
