This paper focuses on the amount of diesel consumption as one of the non-renewable energy sources consumed by the agricultural machinery and water pumps in wheat and corn farms in Dire County,Kermanshah Province, Iran. The population of the study was determined by Bartlett table. Stratified random sampling method and census was used for the selection of respondents. The sample was composed of 2...

Wheat (as bran) and corn (as dry grain or fermented feed) are main ingredients of feedstuffs used in local cattle and pig farms in the South of the Buenos Aires Province (Argentina). Therefore, determining mycobiota and mycotoxins in wheat and corn is of prime importance for developing feed management techniques to optimise animal production and to minimize toxicity. Then, a mycological survey ...

isolates of a. flavus obtained from different feeds such as corn, barley, wheat, cotton ‎seed, bread waste, soybean, alfalfa, wheat bran, barley meal, canola meal, corn silage and beet ‎pulp from nine dairy farms in tehran province during 2004. ability of sclerotiom production by ‎isolates was tested. results showed 62.9 percent of isolates produced sclerotiom on cza medium ‎and 68.5 percent of...

this study was conducted to evaluate the current management of furrow and border irrigation systems in the dez irrigation network. of the eight farms studied, three grew wheat and one each grew corn, sugar beets, lettuce, sesame and mung beans. the study found water application efficiency in the five farms with furrow irrigation systems to be 25.8% and for the three farms with border irrigation...

The objective was to compare deoxynivalenol (DON) concentrations in feed ingredients and commercial swine diets measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Seventy ingredient samples consisted of corn, corn dried distillers grains with solubles, gluten feed, meal, palm kernel expellers, rice bran, soy hulls, soybean wheat. Commercial diet...

Widyaratne, G. P. and Zijlstra, R. T. 2007. Nutritional value of wheat and corn distiller’s dried grain with solubles: Digestibility and digestible contents of energy, amino acids and phosphorus, nutrient excretion and growth performance of grower-finisher pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 87: 103–114. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of distiller’s dried grains with solu...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of diets containing different amounts of wheat, as a partial or whole substitute for corn, on digestibility, digestive enzyme activities, serum metabolite contents and ruminal fermentation in beef cattle. Four Limousin×LuXi crossbred cattle with a body weight (400±10 kg), fitted with permanent ruminal, proximal duodenal and terminal ileal c...

The prevalence of mycotoxins in animal and poultry feeds under different environmental variations in summer and winter seasons were investigated. One hundred and six samples of feeds were collected (58 samples during summer and 48 during winter seasons)for detection of aflatoxins(Afs) and ochratoxin (OA )contamination. The samples were collected from farms at Beni-Suef governorate in which the ...
