In Burkina Faso, availability of quality feed is the major constraint on livestock productivity. Adoption improved cereal cultivars among farmers could enhance fodder supply. This study assessed potential for to provide food and feed. The sites were located in Köppen climate Zone B (Katchari Saria) A (Farakoba) Faso (Beck et al., 2018). Five pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.], nine s...

Lignocellulosic biomass has been recognized as a promising feedstock for the fermentative production of biofuel. However, the pretreatment of lignocellulose generates a number of by-products, such as furfural, 5-hydroxylmethyl furfural (5-HMF), vanillin, vanillic acids and trans-p-coumaric acid (TPCA), which are known to inhibit microbial growth. This research explores the ability of Rhodococcu...

Five strains of Streptomyces (CAI-24, CAI-121, CAI-127, KAI-32 and KAI-90) were earlier reported by us as biological control agents against Fusarium wilt of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (FOC). In the present study, the Streptomyces were characterized for enzymatic activities, physiological traits and further evaluated in greenhouse and field for their plant growth promoti...

and Implications Because treatment with calcium oxide (CaO) will increase the digestibility of corn stover, CaO-treated corn stover may be a cost-effective alternative to a portion of corn grain in beef feedlot diets. Single-pass harvested corn stover was ensiled either untreated or treated with 5% CaO on a dry matter (DM) basis. Ground baled stover, untreated stover silage, or CaO-treated stov...

Commonwealth contributions to the British diet 77 coast, where irrigation is available. These will be the sites of piggeries, where the grain sorghum will be fed to outdoor pigs. It is intended that each unit shall carry some 200 breeding sows. The number of units which will finally be developed is dependent upon experience gained with the first experimental units and on the future trend in coa...

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2017 at Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm the Chandra Shekhar Azad University Agriculture Technology, Kanpur to find out effect cropping systems doses FYM on growth, yield, water use efficiency, splash loss economics crops under rainfed condition. The treatments comprised 4 i.e. (i) sole sorghum, 45 cm apart (ii) greengram, (iii...

An experiment was conducted to determine effects of inter-cropping lablab (Lablab purpureus) with 3 selected early-maturing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) varieties (Teshale, Girana-1 and Misikir) on plant morphology, grain forage yield quality plus forage, assess farmers’ perceptions the crops in Kalu District, South Wollo, Ethiopia. Seven treatments, namely: T1 - sole (SL); T2 Teshale + (TL); T3 (...

Reducing the use of non-renewable fossil energy reserves together with improving the environment are two important reasons that drive interest in the use of bioethanol as an automotive fuel. Conversion of sugar and starch to ethanol has been proven at an industrial scale in Brazil and the United States, respectively, and this alcohol has been able to compete with conventional gasoline due to va...

Many herbaceous lignocelluloses suitable for ethanol production have high extractives contents, such as some straws and corn stover. The high extractives content might affect pretreatment or enzymatic hydrolysis. In this study, extractives were removed from corn stover, and then extractives-free corn stover and ordinary corn stover were respectively pretreated using a liquid hot water (LHW) met...
