Methods are recommended and described for determining Pyrethrin I, Cinerin I, Pyrethrin II, Cinerin II and Jasmolin II with or without combination with synergists such as piperonyl butoxide, in milk, fish and meat, Lat and meat by-products of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, sheep, poultry tissues and eggs using g.l.c. arid t.l,c, It is probably adaptable to cereals, fruit and oilseeds.

The effects of coconut oil, crushed whole oilseeds (rapeseed, sun ̄ower seed and linseed) and rumen-protected crystalline fat on methane release, digestion and energy balance in growing lambs were evaluated in relation to an unsupplemented control diet. The diets consisted of maize silage, grass hay and concentrate which was supplemented with the respective lipid source. On average, the ®ve lipi...

Biotech crops have now been grown commercially on a substantial global scale since 1996. This paper examines the production effects of the technology and impacts on cereal and oilseed markets through the use of agricultural commodity models. It analyses the impacts on global production, consumption, trade and prices in the soybean, canola and corn sectors. The analysis suggests that world price...

Four oilseeds providing cocoa-butter substitutes--shea, pentadecima, illipe, and salseed--when tested as substrates for aflatoxin production by two strains of Aspergillus parasiticus, gave varying levels of aflatoxin. Aflatoxins were found at low levels occurring naturally in moldy shea-nuts, but none of 21 commercial shea-nut samples contained greater than 20 micrograms of aflatoxin B1 per kg.
