Health benefits of whole wheat products are partially attributed by their unique phenolic compounds. This study investigated effect simulated gastrointestinal digestion and probiotic fermentation on releasing acids from foods (bread, cookie, pasta). Kinetics results showed that more were released within the first hour gastric intestinal digestions compared to prolonged digestion. Lactobacillus ...

This study aimed to characterize and evaluate an inedible giant water lily as a bioenergy feedstock. The conversion of organics can produce renewable energy. Composition indicated that is excellent feedstock for bioethanol biogas production. Fermentation effluent wastes from anaerobic digestion were transformed directly into ethanol using alkali pretreatment. Under mild operating conditions, al...

• The process of starch assimilation in the ruminant is complex and remains an avenue by which increases in production efficiency can be gained. • Ruminal starch digestion is typically 75 to 80% of starch intake. Starch that escapes fermentation and flows to the small intestine may be more resistant to enzymatic digestion. On average, 35 to 60% of starch entering the small intestine is degraded...

rumen is a persistent and specific ecosystem consists of bacteria, protozoa and fungus where feed fermentation takes place in it. produced hydrogen in rumen can be used in the synthesis of the volatile fatty acids and the microbial protein and its excess would be eliminated through the production of methane by methanogenesis. nutritionists have tried to find ways to decrease loss and energy and...

the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of different doses of some 7 natural semi-arid medicinal plants’ essential oils on in vitro ruminal digestion and fermentation patterns of a mid-forage (alfalfa hay: concentrates, 1:1) diet. treatments consisted of either basal diet alone (control) or added with 35, 70, 140 or 280 µl l-1 of coriander, oregano, caraway, cumin, cinn...

theaim of the current study was to assess effects of different levels of origanum vulgare (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg/l) on kinetics of gas production, some ruminal digestion and fermentation parameters, methane production and also to determine its potential in controlling rumen acidosis using in vitro method in four separate phases. in the first phase, the asymptote of gas production (a) and...

this experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of phenolic components of scrophularia striata powder on feed intake, digestion and fermentation, rumination kinetic and rumen ecosystem in lori-bakhtiari sheep. in this experiment, 12 six months old lambs and average weight 30±1.5 kg were fed with 0 (control), 3 and 6 percent scrophularia striata for one month. feed intake, digestibility, rum...

A 2(3) factorial arrangement of treatments was used to study main effects and interactions between particle size of prairie hay (chopped vs ground), two levels of feed intake (60 and 90% of ad libitum) and ruminal degradability of protein sources [dry corn gluten feed (DCGF) vs dry distillers grains (DDG)] on ruminal and total tract digestion in eight ruminal- and duodenal-cannulated steers. St...

Hetero-yellow (Hu red (RED) and brown (BR, high tannin) sorghums were fed dry-rolled or reconstituted (RED and BR only) to evaluate the effect of variety and reconstitution on the site and extent of starch and protein digestion in steers fitted with ruminal, duodenal and ileal cannulae. Processed grains were incorporated into 88% sorghum (DM basis) diets fed at 2% of body weight in a 5 • 5 Lati...
