cottonseed is considered among most important crops. it contains about 26 percent oil that ‎in used for vegetable oil production. after oil extraction, the remaining part of the seed know as ‎cottonseed cake with 45 percent protein is routinely used as a protein supplement in feed ‎rations for livestock and less for food use due to presence of gossypol, a toxic constituent of ‎cottonseed.‎ in t...

Ileal digestibility and availability of lysine in protein concentrates ,for pigs The availability of lysine in protein concentrates for pigs and the relationship between ileal digestibility and availability have been investigated in two separate research projects : Dr Jane Leibholz of the University of Sydney, with weaner pigs, and myself at the Wollongbar Agricultural Institute, using grower p...

There is no information available on the effect of fuzzless seed trait on cottonseed nutrient composition (minerals, N, S, protein, and oil) under drought stress. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of the fuzzless seed trait on cottonseed nutrients using five sets of near-isogenic lines (NILs). Each set consists of two lines that share the same genetic background, but ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of carbohydrate source and cottonseed meal level in the concentrate on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis in swamp buffaloes. Four, 4-yr old rumen fistulated swamp buffaloes were randomly assigned to receive four dietary treatments according to a 2×2 factorial arrangement in a 4×4 Lati...

Laboratory, digestion and growth studies were used to evaluate energy and protein supplements for ammoniated (4% of the forage DM) stargrass (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis) hay. Ammoniation increased (P less than .05) total N concentration (.7 to .9% vs 1.7 to 2.0%) and in vitro digestion of OM, NDF and ADF and reduced (P less than .05) NDF concentration of stargrass hay. Two d...

Atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus have been used as aflatoxin management tools on over 50,000 hectares of commercial crops since 2000. To assess treatment efficacy, atoxigenic strain incidence is routinely monitored by vegetative compatibility analyses (VCA) that require culturing, generation of auxotrophs, and complementation with tester mutants. Two pyrosequencing assays (PA) that requ...

three multiparoys lactating sannen dairy goats in midlactation with mean milk production and dim pf 1.5 ±0.22 kg and 167±4 days were used to determine effects of the abomasal infusion wheat starch, wheat starch or cottonseed oil with casein on performance of sannen dairy goats. goats were fed ad libitum with basal diet include, 40% hay alfalfa and 60% concentrate. treatments were abomasal infus...

Potential involvement of seed storage proteins in susceptibility to aflatoxin contamination was assessed with in vitro tests. Initially, two oilseed storage proteins [cottonseed storage protein (CSP) and zein] were compared with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and collagen. Supplementation of a complete defined medium with either oilseed storage protein resulted in significantly more aflatoxin produ...
