Hazelnut (Corylus avellna L.) is one of the important nut crops in world. The harvesting ofhazelnuts is done either by hand or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts in Iran.Common hazel is widely cultivated for its nuts, including in commercial orchards in Europe,Turkey, and Iran. There are some genotypes of hazelnut in Iran that their growing areas arelimited to Gillan, Aredbil, Mazand...

Silage normally contains between 12 and 22 % crude protein (CP). While such levels 5 should be adequate for most productive livestock, in silages they are not. This is because of poor 6 utilization of N in silage. Most silage-based production rations require supplemental protein to meet 7 requirements for growth or lactation in ruminants. Silage protein is highly degradable in the rumen and as ...

In this paper, the influence of cut at two maturity stages (the beginning flowering stage and mid bloom bacterial inoculant ?Silko za lucerku? (contains Lactobacillus plantarum Pediococcus spp.) on quality red clover silage were presented. The commercial cultivar Nada selected Bc Institute in Zagreb was used for investigation. examined mini-silos (glass jars 1.5 l volume with plastic fermentati...

Abstract There is evidence for the beneficial effects of forage peanut on nutritive value and fermentation profile silages; however, its sugarcane silage have not been determined. The objective study was to evaluate chemical composition, profile, microbial dry matter recovery (DMR) containing various amounts (Arachis pintoi cv. Belmonte) (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% a fresh basis), treated or untreated w...

Improvement in the nutritive value of corn stover after solid-state fermentation with Pleurotus ostreatus is reported. Two ruminally cannulated dairy cows were used an vitro study arranged a 2 × 3 factorial design four replicates using P. ostreatus-treated stover. The increase crude protein (58.5%) and ash (25.8%) contents treated significantly higher (p < 0.001) than control. Results sugges...

The effects of two diets, a control diet (commercial feed with 39% crude protein) and an experimental diet (prepared based on 42% soybean meal with 38% crude protein), on growth performance of western white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in six 0.4-ha-earthen ponds (three replications per treatment) with 25 per m2 density, were investigated. There was no significant difference in final weight (m...

The food insecurity in the world/Nigeria paves way for more research to remedy human hunger /diseases caused by weather conditions / greenhouse effects. This study compares and validates proximate composition, anti-nutritional anti-microbial screening of crude methanol extracts three Nigerian medicinal plants; Lactuca taraxacifolia; [ moisture (10.68 ± 00%), Ash (19.48 0.03%), Crude fibre (39.1...

Environmental contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons, mainly crude oil waste from refineries, is becoming prevalent worldwide. This study investigates the bioremediation of water contaminated with crude oil waste. Bacillus salamalaya 139SI, a bacterium isolated from a private farm soil in the Kuala Selangor in Malaysia, was found to be a potential degrader of crude oil waste. When a microbial ...
