The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of two roughage sources (wheat straw and beet pulp) to the milk replacer diet of veal calves, in order to reduce stress and improve animal welfare. We allocated 138 Polish Friesian male calves to three different feeding plans: a milk replacer diet (Control), 250 g/d of wheat straw in addition to the milk replacer, or 250 g/d of d...

Grazing represents a sustainable alternative for the control of medusahead infestations but intake of medusahead by ruminants is typically low. We determined in sheep whether (1) high-energy supplements enhance medusahead intake and preference relative to a treatment without supplementation and (2) individual differences in medusahead intake transfer to individual differences in the ingestion o...

in order to investigate effects of partial replacement of starch with neutral detergent soluble fiber (ndsf) on weekly weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, digestibility and some histopathological changes of rumen, 16 lambs were used in completely randomized design. the experimental period was 70 days. dietary treatments were 1- control (high starch), 2- beet pulp, 18 percent, 3- be...

A patient with occupational asthma in the beet sugar processing industry is described. Symptomatology, skin testing, immunologic testing, and specific bronchoprovocation testing indicate exposure to moldy sugar beet pulp was the cause of the patient's occupational asthma. Cooperation between the treating physician and public health authorities is encouraged.

an in vitro experiment was conducted to study the effect of non-fiber carbohydrates (nfc) on ruminaldisappearance kinetics of dry matter (dm) and neutral detergent fiber (ndf) of alfalfa hay, wheat bran andunmolassed sugar beet pulp. non-supplemented or nfc supplemented samples [70 mg/g dm of each feedsample as sucrose (su) or starch (st) or su + st as 1:1] were incubated in bottles containing ...

Southern California’s Imperial Valley (IV) faces serious water management concerns due to its semi-arid environment, water-intensive crops and limited supply. Accurate reliable irrigation system performance productivity information is required in order assess improve the current strategies. This study evaluates spatially distributed equity, adequacy crop (CWP) for two crops, alfalfa sugar beet,...

in process of sucrose determination in sugar beet, pulp analysis by polarometric method is done on the basis of fresh root weight .the volume of the juice of 26 grams of the pulp is considered 23 ml that with 177 ml of clarifying agent would be 200 ml. drought stress and dehydrated root reduce. the volume of the pulp extract of 23 ml. the objective of this experiment was to determine the proper...

The thermostable enzyme systems produced by the thermophilic ascomycete fungus Talaromyces emersonii cultivated on various carbon sources were investigated for the production of high value products from sugar beet. A broad range of enzymatic activities relevant to cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin hydrolysis were identified in T. emersonii culture filtrates. In hydrolysis experiments conduct...
