This study presents an equation developed to estimate, from zero and short-span tensile tests, the average length of load-bearing elements (the distance between serious defects along a fiber length) within a sheet of paper. The equation was used to examine the effect of drying treatment on the average loadbearing element length in paper made from five furnishes: two radiata pine kraft pulps, a ...

An accurate assessment of moisture content in feed ingredients is important because moisture influences the nutritional evaluation of feedstuffs. The objective of this study was to evaluate various methods for moisture content determination. In Exp. 1, the weight loss on drying (LOD) of corn, soybean meal (SBM), distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), whey permeate, whey powder, spray-dri...

in order to determine the effects of substitution of barley grain with dried citrus pulp (dcp) on eight lactating holstein cows with average body weight of 550 ± 50 kg and 75 ± 15 days in milk were allocated to 4 dietary treatments, which were diet; the control with 0% dried citrus pulp (dcp) and 15% barley grain, diet 2, 3 and 4 containing 5, 10 and 15% dcp and 10, 5 and 0% barley grain respec...

in a 3×3 latin square design, 9 ok and multipaous lactating holstein cows averaging 76 ± 12 days in milk and 580±48 kg of body weight were assigned to three dietary treatments in 3 periods of 21 days. dietary treatments were 1) the control diet (without dried or ensiled tomato pulp), 2) diet with 8% dried tomato pulp (dm basis) and 3) diet with 8% ensiled tomato pulp silage (dm basis). tomato p...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. A completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.The six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...

for determination the effect of lemon pulp levels and organic acid premix (globacid) on performance, carcass traits,immune system, biochemical parameters and intestinal morphology of broilers, 288 ross broilers were used in 3×2 factorial arrangement with three levels of lemon pulp (0, 1.5 and 3 percent) and two levels of globacid (0 and 0.1 percent) in a completely randomized design with six tr...

The present study was designed to investigate antihyperlipidemic activity of dried pulp of Aloe succotrina leaves in Wistar albino rats. Hyperlipidemia was induced in rats by feeding them high fat diet (HFD) or D-fructose (25% w/v) for 4 successive weeks. From 15th to 28th day, dried pulp (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o) and atorvastatin (10 mg/kg, p.o.) per se were administered 2 h prior to feeding ra...
