The changes in yields and nutritive composition of whole crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during maturation and effects of maturity stage and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculants on the fermentation quality and aerobic stability were investigated under laboratory conditions. Whole crop wheat harvested at three maturation stages: flowering stage, milk stage and dough stage. Two strains of LAB ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eugenol treatment and modifi ed atmospheres (50 % N 2 + 50 % CO 2 ) packaging (MAP) on the storage stability of chicken noodles stored at 35 ± 2°C for 90 days. A total four treatments were assigned (i) control aerobic (C-AP), (ii) eugenol treated aerobic (ET-AP), (iii) control MAP (C-MAP), and (iv) eugenol and MAP treated (ET-MAP). All samp...

Hereford-Angus crossbred heifers were fed a cottonseed meal-based diet containing gossypol (14 mg free gossypol·kg body wt−1·d−1; CSM), a soybean meal-based diet (SBM), or a-tocopherolsupplemented diets (4,036 IU vitamin E·heifer−1·d−1 for 90 d; CSM+E and SBM+E). The effects of diet on color stability and aerobic metmyoglobin reducing ability of beef longissimus lumborum (LL) and psoas major (P...

The biological stabilisation of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) into a form stable enough for land application can be achieved via aerobic or anaerobic treatments. To investigate the rates of degradation (e.g. via electron equivalents removed, or via carbon emitted) of aerobic and anaerobic treatment, OFMSW samples were exposed to computer controlled laboratory-scale aerob...

BACKGROUND Pompe disease is a proximal myopathy. We investigated whether exercise training is a safe and useful adjuvant therapy for adult Pompe patients, receiving enzyme replacement therapy. METHODS Training comprised 36 sessions of standardized aerobic, resistance and core stability exercises over 12 weeks. Before and after, the primary outcome measures safety, endurance (aerobic exercise ...

The objective of this study was to determine if the effects of inoculation with Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 were detectable when applied to whole-plant corn stored in farm silos. Corn silage was randomly sampled from farms in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, and was untreated (n = 15) or treated with an inoculant (n = 16) containing L. buchneri 40788 alone or this organism combined with...

The goal of this work was to study long-term behavior of anaerobically digested and dewatered sludge (biosolids) in a lagoon under anaerobic and aerobic conditions to determine the stability of the final product as an indicator of its odor potential. Field lagoons were sampled to estimate spatial and temporal variations in the physical-chemical properties and biological stability characteristic...

High moisture, co-product feeds such as brewer’s and distiller’s grains can be economical feeds for ruminants. However, two major factors limit the use of these types of feeds. First, their high moisture content (approximately 50-70%) limits the distance that they can be economically shipped from their sources of production (perhaps 75 to 100 miles). Second, the aerobic stability of these feeds...
