in order to investigate the effect of processing type (whole straw bale processing or opened straw bale processing with urea) on diet digestibility, economical and productive parameters in feedlot cattle, 18 holstein bull with average body weight 224.72 ± 20.45 kg were used in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 6 replicate. treatments 1, 2 and 3 contained 40% typical straw, 40...

Sir?I have gone through the able article on ' Chronic ulcerative colitis' by Colonel Chopra and Dr. Roy published in the Indian Medical Gazette of February 1939 with , interest. I agree with all that has been stated therein. But I miss very much the mention in it of ' Bale' fruits as an adjunct to treatment although ' Isabgul' has justifiably been mentioned. ' Bale' renders the stool formed and...

Modern moisture restoration systems are increasingly capable of adding water to cotton bales. However, research has identified large variations in internal moisture within bales that are not readily monitored by current systems. While microwave moisture sensing systems can measure average bale moisture, this can be deceptive where water is unevenly distributed. In some cases, localized internal...

The floristic composition and structure of the Dry Afromontane Forest at Bale Mountains National Park was studied from July 2003 to June 2004. A total of 90 plots were established at three sites (Adelle, Boditi and Gaysay) at an altitudinal range of 3010–3410 m. The cover abundance values, density, and diameter at breast height and list of species were recorded in each plot. About 230 species b...

The use of microwave imaging is becoming more prevalent for detection of interior hidden defects in manufactured and packaged materials. In applications for detection of hidden moisture, microwave tomography can be used to image the material and then perform an inverse calculation to derive an estimate of the variability of the hidden material, such internal moisture, thereby alerting personnel...

Forage conservation permits a better supply of quality feed when forage production is low. While haymaking and ensiling have been practiced for generations, research is still needed to 1) understand the processes affecting quality during harvesting and storage and 2) develop practical means to minimize losses and enhance quality. Several trends in harvesting forages for silage are notable. Kern...

The paper analyses the compaction of cardboard waste in vertically stationary presses, stages making bale material and forces resistant to displacement pressing plate at each stage compaction, relationship between piston stroke forces, as well partial total energy consumption compaction. Some clarifications are made regarding correlation time, respectively A link shall also be established volum...

BALB/cJ and C57BL/10J mice were reared by foster parents of the same 2 strains in the 4 possible combinations or were unfostered. Operant behavior of offspring subsequently produced by these mice was significantly influenced by within-strain fostering and by strain of foster grandparents. Within-strain fostering raised the response rates of BALE Ss while lowering that of C57BL Ss. Both strains ...

Corn stover has potential as a bioenergy feedstock in North America. We simulated production costs for stover harvest (three-pass and two-pass with baling or chopping, and single-pass with baling or chopping) and on-farm storage (outdoor and indoor bales, outdoor wrapped bales, and chopped stover in bags, bunks, or piles). For threeand two-pass harvest, chopping was 33e45% more expensive than b...
