Largely due to the demand for grains for the bio-fuel industry, the cost of feed energy will increase worldwide. Therefore, alternative energy supplying pig feed ingredients should be explored, including distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), field peas, wheat shorts and liquid co-products from the bio-fuel and food industry. The inclusion of DDGS in diets is limited by the fiber concent...

The use of green mass annual leguminous crops allows to get a rich amount protein feed. Therefore, the quality must be ensured in context sustainable crop production and feed efficiency. Apparently, pre-sowing seed treatment with different-sized metal particles growth regulators can affect amino acid composition crops. In conducted work, it was found that seeds UFP MoO2 increased content essent...

Artificial neural networks (ANN) are implemented in a large number of applications of science and technology as the technique has become very popular and accepted tool for researchers and scientists. ANN renders realistic advantages such as real time processing, adaptability and training potential over conventional methodologies. In this communication an all inclusive review of ANN for predicti...

Peas and vetches are the most important plant species for production of forages, where they can be used as hay, haylage or silage. Due to their specific characteristics - tendency lodging high buffering capacity, usually grown in a mixture with small grains support crops prevent reduce lodging, at same time obtain biomass suitable ensiling process. In pure crops, peas often green feeds hay stag...

Cereal Chem. 82(5):554-558 Field peas (Pisum salivum) were evaluated as a potential feedstock for ethanol production. Ground peas were dry-milled and separated into starch, protein, and fibrous fractions by air classification. Starch-enriched fractions prepared from whole peas and dehulled peas contained 73.717c wt and 77.8% wt starch, respectively, a nearly two-fold enrichment compared with wh...

Aqueous extracts of air-dried ground peas% can provide a good mediuim for the growth and production of penicillin byPeniciUium notatum (Cook&Tulloch, 1944). The experiments to be described were carried out to determine what constituents of the pea were responsible for this effect. Although other vegetable extracts give a similar effect the pea lias been chosen as it is a readily available mater...

Fractional rate of degradation (kd) of fermentable nutrients in the rumen is an important parameter in modern feed evaluation systems based on mechanistic models. Estimates of kd for starch was obtained on 19 starch sources originating from barley, wheat, oat, maize and peas and treated in different ways both chemically and physically. The starch sources were fed in mixed diets together with gr...

Background: Grass Kebar (Biopytum petersianum Klotzch) is one of Indonesian medicinal plants, which can only be found in Kebar sub-district, Manokwari, Irian Jaya. This plant is mainly used by the community Manokwari to maintain the fertility of women of reproductive organs. This study aims to determine the effect of extract Grass Kebar dose on the fertility of the uterus and the number of prog...
