laboratory bioassays were carried out to study the insecticidal efficacy of two iranian diatomaceous earths (des) and silicosecâ® formulation against sitophilus granarius (l.). four different particle sizes of des were applied at five concentrations. the mortality was counted 2, 5 and 7 days after exposure. the experiment was carried out at 27 â± 1â°c and 55 â± 5% relative humidity in continuou...

tricalcium phosphate as hydroxyapatite is used as a suspension stabilizer in styrene polymerization process. particle size of tcp plays an essential role in the particles’ size distribution and geometrical form of polystyrene products. as the particle size of tcp is reduced, there will be much better chance to engulf the styrene particles. the higher the number of tcp particles surrounding each...

Corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) are highly valued as an animal feed for its nutrient content. The amount of wet distillers grains (WDG) and condensed distillers solubles (CDS) blended together during drying affects nutritive value and physical characteristics of DDGS. Effect of changing the ratio of WDG and CDS, and recycled DDGS during drying on particle size, particle size d...

Aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES) was used to prepare micro-particle of acetaminophen by supercritical carbon dioxide as an anti-solvent. Experiment was carried out at various temperatures, pressures, solvents and investigated the effects of these parameters on particle size, size distribution and morphology by SEM and laser diffraction particle size analyzer. It seems that the choice of...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of feed delivery method on growth, feeding competition, feeding, and sorting behavior of dairy heifers. Thirty-two Holstein heifers (146.2+/-21.9 d of age) were divided into 8 groups of 4 and exposed to 1 of 2 feed delivery treatments for 13 wk. The treatment rations contained 65% grass/alfalfa haylage and 35% textured concentrate (on a d...

Feed sorting is a natural behavior of dairy cows that can result in inconsistencies in the nutritive value of a total mixed ration (TMR). The objective of this study was to determine the effects of replacing high-moisture corn with glycerol on feed sorting and the feed intake pattern of transition dairy cows. Multiparous Holstein cows (n=26) were paired by expected calving date, housed in indiv...

It's expected that the Brazilian production of industrialized feed for horses reach 2 million tons by the year 2020. Feed processing consists of physical, chemical or biological modifications that are made in the feed. These modifications can increase the availability of nutrients for horses and/or preserve the quality of these nutrients in the raw material. The objective of this review was to ...

at a commercial feed mill and were of similar nutritional composition. Feed form variations were made my grinding a portion of the pellets produced for each diet phase. The HQP diets averaged 78.6% intact pellets and the GP diets averaged a 1,108 micron particle size. On D42, YP1 improved ending weight (EW; P=0.022) and feed conversion ratio (FCR; P=0.022). However, no YP Carryover effect was d...
