Our objective was to measure the proximate, starch, amino acid, and mineral compositions of grains, grain co-products, and other carbohydrate sources with potential use in pet foods. Thirty-two samples from barley (barley flake, cut barley, ground pearled barley, malted barley, whole pearled barley, pearled barley flakes, and steamed rolled barley); oats (groats, ground oatmeal, ground steamed ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate and compare antibiotic, organic acid, probiotic and prebiotic effects on performance, egg quality and blood metabolites in commercial laying hens. the experiment was a completely randomized design with 160 laying hens strain hy line (w-36) from 32 to 42 weeks of age with 5 treatments and 4 replicates of 8 hens each. the experimental treatments consisted...

The quality of soil organic matter plays a central role in structure, carbon sequestration and pollutant immobilization. effect 16–23 years fertilization on the was studied field experiments at ten experimental sites Central Europe. Soil samples were collected 2016 after barley harvest. Six crops rotated: pea–canola–winter wheat–spring barley–beet/potato–spring barley. treatments studied: unfer...

Sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). Diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, T1), 35% wheat straw (T2), 35% barley straw (T3) or 35% maize straw (T4). Total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...

Excised roots of barley (Hordeum vulgare, var. Campana) lost organic acids, amino acids, K(+), and Cl(-) within 15 minutes after initiation of anaerobic treatment or treatment with NaCN and 2,4-dinitrophenol. Initial loss of organic acids when roots were placed under N(2) is attributed to a decarboxylation reaction, possibly catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Organic and amino acid...

abstract balanced nutrition and soil organic mater are among most important factors affecting yield and quality of grape (vitis vinifera cv.peykani). humic acid as an organic acid derived from humus and other organic sources, in accompany with zinc, and acetic acid can reduce deficiency symptoms in grape. to study the effects of zinc, humic acid and acetic acid on yield and yield components, an...

To investigate the effect of different green manures from Gramineae and Brassicaceae families on yield, some agronomic traits forage maize, overgrowth with weeds soil organic matter, an experiment was conducted based a randomized complete block design three replications for consecutive years (2017-2020) at Agricultural Natural Resources Research Education Centre Southern Khorasan. Experimental ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of barley green fodder produced by hydroponics system on the performance of feedlot calves. in a completely block randomized experiment, 24 cross bred (holstein×local) male calves were assigned randomly to one of the two treatments (diets) that were either control (grain barley) or hydroponic barley green fodder (bgf) that was included to...
