Mitigation of methanogenesis in ruminants has been an important goal for several decades. Free lauric acid, known to suppress ruminal methanogenesis, has a low palatability; therefore, in the present study the aim was to evaluate the mitigation efficacy of its esterified form (monolaurin). Further, 13C-isotope abundance (delta13C) and 13C-12C fractionation during methanogenesis and fermentation...

Abstract In this work, the effect of bioaugmentation on hydrolysis and acidogenesis efficiency bedding straw mixed with maize silage is examined. A plug-flow bioreactor was operated for 70 weeks as a reference feedstock subsequently an increasing content 30% 66% (w/w). Bioaugmentation two Paenibacillus species conducted at each process condition to investigate impact recalcitrant lignocellulosi...

An in vitro incubation system was used to evaluate effect of supplementation of fumaric acid at 0, 5, 10, and 15 mM concentration in high-, medium-, and low-fiber wheat straw containing total mixed diets with sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) and berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) on rumen fermentation, methane production, and gas kinetics parameters. Three types of diets were prepared with dif...

Dry matter (DM) degradation of wheat straw (WS), barley straw (BS), lucerne hay (LH) and maize silage (MS) was determined using two different techniques: (i) in vitro gas production and (ii) nylon bag degradability technique. In vitro gas production and in situ DM disappearance were measured after 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of incubation. In situ and in vitro DM degradation kinetics was ...

Straw and animal manure are major organic waste materials from agricultural ecosystems. Different kinds of combined with straw (AM-S) may have varying effects on the decomposition, nutrient release, structural changes maize straw. Using Humic Cambisols soil as experimental area, decomposition characteristics under co-application were studied following nylon net bag landfill method. The experime...

The slow degradation of returned straw adversely affects seedling survival rate. To shorten the time lignin in maize warm temperate regions, a cellulolytic microbial strain that can secrete polymer with high enzymatic activity was isolated from humus, which helped to identify an effective expedite decomposition straw. Using molecular biology techniques primary screening and re-screening using s...

Bio ethanol is an attractive, sustainable energy source to fuel transportation, produced from kinds of biomasses. Among kinds of biomass, lignocellulosic biomass is a very useful feedstock to economically produce environmentally friendly biofuels. The main goal of the research described in this paper is to investigate the process of pretreated biomass, acid or enzymatic hydrolysis, Fermentation...

After sugarcane bagasse and maize straw, rice straw (RS) is globally the third largest form of agricultural residue while, in India, it residue. In north-western states India wheat taken as a rabi crop surplus focal issue associated with storage removal entire from field, very little time between cultivation hence burning becomes cheap, quick efficient way for preparing bed sowing wheat. Open k...

A maize pot experiment was conducted to compare the difference of N distribution between bulk and rhizospheric soil after chemical fertilizer with or without straw amendment at an equivalent rate using a 15N cross-labeling technique. Soil pools, their abundances were determined during growth. The urea plus treatment significantly (p < 0.05) increased recovery in 26.0% assimilated by maize. C...
