FeedTree: Scalable and prompt delivery for Web feeds

the use of adjuvants enhances the insecticide efficiency and increases the persistence of insecticides. in this study, the effect of adjuvants on the toxicity of chlorpyrifos and cyhalothrin formulations were investigated under laboratory and field conditions. the comparative toxicity of two chlorpyrifos [(48% emulsifiable concentrate (ec)] formulations (dursban and pyrifos el nasr), two cyhalo...

Fish wastes management has become a global problem from the last years. Dispose of seafood wastes cause environmental pollution. To overcome this issue these unwanted seafood products are used for the formation of animal feed and aquaculture feed. These unwanted products include small fish and those parts of fish which are not used as human food. These unwanted parts include viscera, head, fins...

Accurate estimates of lysine requirement are essential to fish feed formulation. However, controversy exists regarding the most appropriate mode to express lysine requirement. In the fish nutrition literature, essential amino acid (AA) requirement has been expressed as a percentage of diet, a percentage of dietary crude protein or a ratio to dietary digestible energy (DE). The controversy lies ...

Slaughterhouse Blood (SHB) is a rich source of protein, but it requires a suitable processing before its use as an ingredient in animal feed formulations. In this study, SHB was fermented using whey or pure culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus as the fermentation inoculums. Mixtures of SHB, fermentation inoculums and molasses were incubated at 35°C and microbiological and biochemical changes we...

We present a two-dimensional granular model for the mechanical behavior of an ensemble of globular grains during solidification. The grain structure is produced by a Voronoi tessellation based on an array of predefined nuclei. We consider the fluid flow caused by grain movement and solidification shrinkage in the network of channels that is formed by the faces of the grains in the tessellation....

Treatments were arranged in a 3 × 3 × 3 factorial design consisting of 3 levels of added fiber (0, 2 and 4% oat hulls), added moisture (0, 2 and 4% tap water) and added protein (0, 2 and 4% soybean meal). Fiber, moisture and/or protein were added to a corn/soybean based basal diet that was formulated to Cobb specifications. Feed was manufactured at the West Virginia University pilot feed mill u...

The review paper presents the use of algal extracts as safe and solvent-free components of plant growth biostimulants, dietary feed additives and cosmetics. Innovative technology that uses extracts obtained by supercritical CO₂ extraction, as a method of isolation of biologically active compounds from algal biomass, is presented. An important part of the complete technology is the final formula...

Efficacy of Feeding Treatments and Litter Formulations against Shedding of Salmonella in Broilers. (May 2009) Eryn Linnae Larrison, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Michael Davis Research has shown that Salmonella can be prevalent in poultry litter, which can be a source of contamination for newly arrived chicks at the poultry house. Since this organism is a pathogen ...
