INTRODUCTION Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., Pedaliaceae) is a very old cultivated crop and thought to have originated in Africa (Ram et al. 1990). However, Oplinger et al. (1990) have indicated it to be a highly prized oil crop of Babylon and Assyria about 4,000 years ago. The Chinese burned sesame oil for light and to make soot for their ink blocks. African slaves brought sesame seeds, which they...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different levels of sesame wastes (SW) on performance, milk composition and blood metabolites in lactating dairy cows. In this order, eight multiparous Holstein dairy cows were used in a replicated 4×4 Latin square design in four periods of 21 days. Treatments were control (no Sesame meal supplementat...

A research for eight weekswas conducted to evaluate the effect of substituting fish meal with local agricultural products in diet Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).Three treatment dietaries were prepared. The dietary composition tested diets is as follows: A1/plant based-diet (Groundnut cake, sesame millet bran, maize and 0% meal) A2/fishmeal partial replacement meal, 10% A3/fishmeal 25% mea...

Plant proteins are plausible fishmeal substitutes but are deficient in some essential amino acids (EAA) like lysine and methionine. Combination of different plant proteins with complimentary EAA could be useful alternative. Bambaranut (Voandzeia subterranea) contains high amount of lysine while methionine is in sesame seed (Sesamum indicum). This experiment tested effects of combining sesame se...

Sesame cake and meal, byproducts of the sesame oil process industry mainly used as feed fertilizer, are often not optimally utilized wasted when material could be a high-quality protein source. This research primarily emphasizes preparation protein-based adhesive with urea glyoxal modification to use wood adhesive. The performance characterization modified (USP GUSP, respectively) were measured...
