Twenty-eight Comisana dry ewes were utilised to evaluate the effect of shearing (14 shorn and 14 unshorn ewes) and supplemental level (100 and 300g of concentrate) on intake of barley stubble. Shorn ewes showed a small increase in dry matter intake (at the end of August: 1.32 vs. 1.10kg/day; p<0.01). Intake of barley stubble decreased as supplement level increased (mean: 1.18 vs. 1.29; p<0.01)....

The traditional agricultural machine design were represented as 2D drawing, which is difficult to modify, and also not intuitive in the solid way for the form and structure. Therefore, software, UG-NX3, was used to conduct parameterized design of stubble cleaner parts. The parts were designed associatively and assembled virtually. The structure of the whole machine and the spatial distribution ...

Signaling between cells in the anterior (A) and posterior (P) compartments directs Drosophila wing disc development and is dependent on expression of the homeodomain transcription factor Engrailed (En) in P cells. Downstream of en, posteriorly expressed Hedgehog (Hh) protein signals across the A/P border to establish a developmental organizer that directs pattern formation and growth throughout...

The production of rice and straw are directly proportional to each other becomes a major problem in disposal straw. Though there many suitable methods the reduction few bane environment. Thus this study focuses only on sustainable ecofriendly manner disposal. Insitu decomposition stubbles using TNAU biomineralizer is experimental which was carried out randomised block design with six Treatment ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Facial hair strongly influences people's judgments of men's socio-sexual attributes. However, the nature of these judgments is often contradictory. The levels of intermediate facial hair growth presented to raters and the stage of female raters' menstrual cycles might have influenced past findings. We quantified men's and women's judgments of attractiveness, health, mascul...

Producers of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) hay in the Mid-Atlantic US have experienced a reduction in regrowth vigor and a decline in the persistence of their swards. The common management practice for the region is to harvest the first growth of hay by cutting at 2.5-7.5 cm height in May or June. We hypothesize that high temperature and low cutting height interact to limit the regrowth ...

Despite a shortage of animal feed in Iran, cereal stubble is often underutilized due to agro-economic reasons. On the other hand, lambs fed with a conventional fattening ration deposit a considerable amount of fat; therefore, this experiment was conducted aimed at better utilization of cereal stubble and reducing the fat content of lamb carcasses. Fat-tailed Mehraban and Ghezel ram lambs were p...
