Agroindustrial derivatives are alternative nutritional sources employed in bioprocesses that reduce costs and corroborate with social sustainability. In this study, alternative carbon (sugarcane juice, sugarcane molasses and soy molasses) and nitrogen sources (corn steep liquor, soy protein and whey protein) were evaluated for hyaluronic acid production by Streptococcus zooepidemicus ATCC 39920...

A quality control programme for the GC analysis of sugars in cane molasses is described. Multi-level standard calibration reduces systematic bias. Repeatability and target values for check molasses samples are used as the control parameters to evaluate day to day precision and accuracy.

The objective of this work was to describe a novel in vitro system based on the subtraction of ammonia pools obtained with and without rumen fluid inoculum to determine the soluble protein fraction of feeds and their degradability, with adjustments for microbial contributions and bacterial contamination. Four corn-milling coproducts were used in this study as random factors. The feeds (Fd) were...

Dietary constituents can affect cow acid-base physiology and uterine pH. Dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) has been shown to affect cow acid-base physiology, but the effect on uterine pH has not been demonstrated. The objective of this work was to determine if DCAD [(Na + K + 0.15Ca + 0.15Mg) - (Cl + 0.60S + 0.50P)] could affect cow DMI, acid-base physiology, and uterine pH, and second, to...

This study compared the effects of drying on beet pulp with and without added molasses by measuring the in sacco digestibility and composition including ®ber polysaccharides and minerals. Beet pulp was sampled before and after the addition of molasses from four different sugar processing plants within California. These samples were sub-sampled and then sun-, freeze-, or airdried. The percentage...

YILDIZ, E., 2015. Comparison of rations for dairy cows with soybean meal or with rapeseed meal in which the main source of protein is sunflower meal. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 21: 662–667 The aim of experiment is to check whether the inclusion of soybean meal in the diet will improve performance of dairy cows fed ration with sunflower meal as main protein source. This problem is important for East ...

The SMRI has developed a new nutsch bomb which has several advantages over existing models. It is lighter, easier to load/clean and separates molasses at a faster rate. Puri-ties of molasses from the SMRI bomb were the same as those from conventional nutsch separators. Introduction The conventional nutsch bomb using a horizontal screen arrangement had proved to be very slow in extracting

This study aimed to determine the effects of adding lactic acid bacteria maize silage on nutritionalf quality, its fermentation properties and in vitro organic matter digestion (IVOMD). In study, pre-fermented juices (PFJ) prepared from different water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) sources at rate 5% commercial homofermentative heterofermentative (LAB) were added silages. Groups designed as (I) co...

The purpose of this study was to assess the myceliation rate, mycelial vigor and “estimated biomass” of Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, grown on a sugarcane bagasse substrate enriched with rice bran and sugarcane molasses for spawn production. The proportions of rice bran used were 0, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40% (dry weight/dry weight of bagasse) and the sugarcane molasses concentrations tested...

Five years of data were collected on 124 Brangus-type cows to evaluate weaning calves at 8.5 or 10.5 mo of age and winter supplementation of the brood cow with 2.25 kg of molasses daily. Cows with calves weaned at 10.5 mg of age gained 14 kg less weight (P less than .01) during the late nursing period than did cows from which calves were earlier weaned. Age of calf at weaning had no effect on c...
