Because grain is highly digestible, maize hybrids for silage production are generally chosen based on their The nutritive value of forage maize (Zea mays L.) may be improved grain yield. However, the stalk portion of the maize through genetic selection for increased rate of fiber digestion or decreased indigestible fiber concentration. To identify sources of genetic plant contains 50% or more o...

An appropriate in vitro starch digestion model is necessary to comparatively evaluate the digestibility of starch samples and to help predict the in vivo glycemic responses of starchy foods. In the present study, the effect of trypsin and chymotrypsin on in vitro digestion of rice starch was studies for the first time. Inclusion of the trypsin and chymotrypsin in the digestion protocols, to mor...

An in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplemental non-fiber carbohydrate(NFC) on the disappearance kinetics of cellulose (Ce) by mixed ruminal microorganisms. Non-supplementedor NFC supplemented cellulose (467 mg NFC/g cellulose as sucrose (CeSu) or starch (CeSt) or a 1:1 mixtureof sucrose + starch (CeSuSt)) were incubated for 24, 48, and 96 h at 39°C. After each incu...

Usually, slaughterhouse wastewater has been considered as a single substrate whose anaerobic digestion can lead to inhibition problems and low biodegradability. However, the bovine slaughter process generates different streams with particular physicochemical characteristics: (SWW), offal (OWW) paunch (PWW). Therefore, this research aims assess co-digestion (AcoD) of SWW, OWW, PWW manure (BM) th...

The gastrointestinal (GIT) segment wherein dietary additives, such as butyrate, are released may influence their observed efficacy. Release kinetics are influenced by pH, gastric and enteric motility, retention time in the different GIT segments and enzymes concentration. Unfortunately, none of the available in vitro poultry model mimics accurately these conditions. As a consequence, a novel in...

The present experiment was carried out to determine the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of citrus by-products. Grapefruit pulp (GP), lemon pulp (LE), lime pulp (LI) and orange pulp (OP) were the test feed. Digestion kinetic of whole citrus by-products and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) fraction and acid detergent fiber (ADF) fractions of citrus by-products were measured using the in...

Although biogas has been primarily produced through liquid anaerobic digestion, this method leads to the floating and stratification of fibers non-homogeneous mixing, which can reduce yield. Alternatively, be by solid-state digestion (SS-AD) organic material with a high solid content, such as corn cobs. We investigated co-digestion food waste cobs biomass feedstock for SS-AD in production. meas...
