Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) is an important cool season grass species in the moderate climate of Iran. In order to evaluate the yield and quality traits, an experiment was conducted in irrigation conditions using 36 accessions of Dactylis glomerata using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Islamabad, Kermanshah province, Iran in 2010. Characters such as forage dr...

BACKGROUND Ensiling may act as a pretreatment of fresh grass biomass and increase the enzymatic conversion of structural carbohydrates to fermentable sugars. However, ensiling does not provide sufficient severity to be a standalone pretreatment method. Here, ensiling of grass is combined with hydrothermal treatment (HTT) with the aim of improving the enzymatic biomass convertibility and decreas...

We studied the effects of use Lactobacillus buchneri (Lb) and maize pre-ensiling composition on aerobic silage stability in a panel 88 ensiled 60 days 21 L buckets. Lb was dispensed at three dosages compared to control (pure water). The prognostic multiparametric risk score used find factors related chemical fresh plant, associated with onset instability silage. A multivariable Akaike’s Informa...

In order to develop methods that would enlarge the feed resources in Tibet, mixtures of hulless-barley straw and tall fescue were ensiled with four levels (0, 10%, 20%, and 30% of fresh weight) of wet hulless-barley distillers' grains (WHDG). The silos were opened after 7, 14 or 30 d of ensiling, and the fermentation characteristics and nutritive quality of the silages were analyzed. WHDG addit...

Choline is essential for infant development. Human milk choline is predominately present in three water-soluble choline (WSC) forms: free choline (FC), phosphocholine (PhosC), and glycerophosphocholine (GPC). It is unclear whether mother's own preterm milk and pooled donor milk differ in WSC composition and whether WSC compounds are interrelated. Mother's own preterm milk (n = 75) and donor mil...

in order to study of variation and relationships between yield and quality traits, 14 domestic populations of bitter vetch (vicia ervilia) were collected from different parts of lorestan province and sown in two separate experiments under irrigated and dry land farming system using randomized complete block design with three replications in khorramabad, iran during 2005 and 2006. data were coll...

Subcritical water is an alternative and environmentally friendly processing medium with interesting applications in many fields of research1. Its ability to degrade natural biopolymers2 (cellulose, protein etc.) into smaller, usually water-soluble products (sugars, amino acids etc.) has been found to be quite useful, especially in waste and biomass processing technologies. Nevertheless, for foo...

effects of nitrogen fertilization timing close to the beginning of short-day period and white mulch on flowering and yield components have been studied in ‘paros’ and ‘queen elisa’ strawberry cultivars. split plot experiment in a randomized complete block design with eight treatments (two mulch treatments × n fertilization during four different times from last week of august to third week of se...

In wheat, tillering and water-soluble carbohydrates (WSCs) in the stem are potential traits for adaptation to different environments and are of interest as targets for selective breeding. This study investigated the observation that a high stem WSC concentration (WSCc) is often related to low tillering. The proposition tested was that stem WSC accumulation is plant density dependent and could b...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, Lactobacillus salivarius) inoculation on the microbial, physical and chemical properties of food waste mixture (FWM) stored at ambient temperature (25 degrees C) for 10 and 30 days. A complete pig diet including restaurant food waste, bakery by-product, barley and wheat bran, and broiler poultry litter was amended w...
