Feeding cereal grain to cattle is common practice for optimal beef and milk production. High concentrations of starch other soluble carbohydrates may cause acidosis. Information on the effect processing protein degradability in rumen are scarce. This study was determine ruminal degradation patterns grains steam pelleting crude (CP) rumen. The pattern dry matter (DM), starch, CP ground pelleted ...

Filamentous actin (F-actin) organization within cells is regulated by a large number of actin-binding proteins that control actin nucleation, growth, cross-linking and/or disassembly. This protocol describes a technique - the actin co-sedimentation, or pelleting, assay - to determine whether a protein or protein domain binds F-actin and to measure the affinity of the interaction (i.e., the diss...

The primary objective of pelleting is to produce a palatable, high quality product with minimum production expense. Manipulation of the feed pellets during the storage, transporting, and transfer to feeding lots seriously reduces the number of feed pellets that finally reach the feed pans. It seems that the best solution for this problem is to increase the Pellet Durability Index (PDI) of the f...

Nanoparticles can be used to purify proteins from plasma. We report here the purification of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) with high specificity from human plasma using copolymeric nanoparticles. We present an optimized protocol using 50:50 NiPAM:BAM copolymer nanoparticles with thermo-responsive properties as an affinity resin. Repeated pelleting and washing of nanoparticle-captured apoA-I is ac...

Aims: This study evaluates the biofuel potential of mandarin orchard pruning residues in form pellets.Methods and Results: Pellets were produced at M10 (8 – 10%) moisture content, from three different particle sizes (ground by sieves having 4, 6 8 mm). Some thermal physical-mechanical properties pellets studied checked according to recent EU (European Union) standards. Pellet bulk densities var...

In this work are described the possibilities for improving efficiency of wood pellets production. The introductory part is devoted to analyzing the properties of wood pellets, combustion and production of pollutants when combusted it. The production of wood pellets and used pelleting machines was analyzed. The main task of this work is to introduce efficiency pelleting lines and cost reduction ...

Shallot is an important commodity, but their productivity in Indonesia still low. TSS can be used because of its higher production, longer shelf life, more resistance to disease pathogens, cheaper procurement and distribution costs, guaranteed seed quality, high potential, has a small shape so it difficult plant coating technology needed. Seed pellets are coatings seeds change the shape, size w...
