Two mild and two pungent onion (Allium cepa L.) selections (hereafter referred to as cultitypes), W420B, W424B, MSU8155B, and Exhibition, were grown at two locations in two states (Wisconsin and Oregon) during 1994 and 1995. Onion bulbs were harvested, stored at 4 °C and sampled for antiplatelet activity, pungency, and soluble solids 10 days after harvest and every 40 days during a 210-day post...

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the relationship among dry matter content (DMC) and maturity indexes at harvest quality ‘Gala’ apples after storage. Apple fruit four strains produced on two rootstocks three growing regions were used for experiments 1 2. For all experiments, assessed one day stored removal from storage plus seven days 22 °C. experiment 1, harvested weekly a...

calendula (calendula officinalis) is relatively cold tolerant plant, but in some years plant seriously injured due to harsh winter. in order to evaluate freezing tolerance of calendula an experiment was carried out at college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhadin a factorial-completely randomized design with three replications and plants of two sowing dates (summer and autumn) were e...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of diets containing different levels of milk thistle (0, 100 and 200 g/kg dry matter) and grains (barley and corn) with different rumen degradation rates on rumen bacteria and whole rumen microorganisms (WRM) of Khuzestan buffalo. The gas production (GP) technique, two steps digestion and specific bacteria culture medium methods were us...

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...

degradation of dry matter (dm) and nitrogen (n) in fresh or frozen-thawed alfalfa and ryegrass was studied by using in situ technique. the forages were labeled with 15n during growth in a glasshouse, harvested at similar growth phase, and fresh (f) or frozen-thawed (ft) samples were incubated in the rumen of 3 sheep. there was no difference (p>0.05) between forage type (s) for the immediately s...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of organic selenium and vitamin e on performance and meat quality in japanese quail. four hundred eighty quails were carried out in a completely randomized design with two levels of organic selenium (0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg) and three levels of vitamin e (18, 90 and 180 mg/kg). four replicates with 20 quails were allocated to ...

a simple mechanistic model was constructed to evaluate potential dry matter of pearl millet. all needed parameters were calculated based on many field and laboratory experiments and actual data obtained from 86 fields of millet located at different regions of khorasan's provinces. the major simulated processes were crop phenology (as a function of temperature and photoperiod function curve...
