this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different heating treatments (autoclaving, roasting, steam flaking and microwave irradiation) on chemical composition, anti- nutritional compounds (tannin and phenolic), in situ dry mater (dm) and crude prate in (cp) degradability. three fistulated bull in a complete randomized block design and in vitro gas production kinetics (complete random...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of warm and cold physical as well as chemical processing methods on the nutritive value of barley grains by gas production technique. The processing methods included milling, steam flaking, extruding and soaking up the grain in water containing 1.00% citric acid, 1.00% propionic acid and 0.01 M sulfuric acid. Two-hundred mg of milling sam...

hyssopus of­ficinalis l. is one of the most important medicinal plants. medicinal herbs are contaminated by microorganisms. conventional methods for reducing of microbial loads such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and also use of steam are hazardous and instead, non-thermal process such as microwave and gamma radiation are being used widely in order to eliminate the microbial contaminations ...

Two pretreatment methods, microwave irradiation and steam explosion, were investigated in this work. The aim of the study was to investigate whether these methods would improve the biodegradability of wheat straw as a lignocellulosic feedstock. Microwave pretreatment was carried out on milled straw with an irradiation time of 15 minutes, at a temperature of either 200 or 300 °C in the oven. The...

One hundred twenty medium-frame crossbred steers (364 kg) were used in a 106-d feedlot trial to compare the feeding value of Condor, a hulless barley (HB), with Leduc, a conventional covered barley (CB). Dietary treatments consisted of a finishing diet containing 77% grain (DM basis) as 1) steam-flaked corn (SFC); 2) dry-rolled HB (DRB-H); 3) steam-flaked HB (SFB-H); 4) dry-rolled CB (DRB-C); a...

Two trials were conducted to characterize the differences in utilization of dry-rolled and steam-flaked corn in a growing-finishing diet for feedlot cattle supplemented with and without ionophores. Ionophore treatments were: 1) no ionophore, 2) 33 mg/kg monensin sodium plus 11 mg/kg tylosin and 3) 33 mg/kg lasalocid sodium. In trial 1, treatment effects on feedlot performance were evaluated in ...

introduction native rapeseed (nrs) is planted in some parts of iran because of climatic condition. the consumption of nrs in animal nutrition is limited by anti-nutritional such as phytic acid and glucosinolate. moreover, the protein of nrs is highly degraded by rumen microorganisms. several processing methods have been used to enhance the nutritive value of whole oilseeds, including extrusion,...
