the nutritive values of non- processed and processed grape pomace with neurospora sitophila were evaluated. the chemical compositions and physical characteristics of samples were evaluated by laboratory analysis. an in vitro digestibility experiment was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and also digestible organic matter in dry matter (domd) to estimate ...

A digestibility trial was conducted to examine the effect of feeding rate on dry matter, gross energy, crude protein and phosphorus digestibility in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Duplicate groups of fish were fed 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.9% BW/day. The faeces were collected by Guelph-type collectors for five successive days. Dry matter, protein and phosphorus digestibility’s were all s...

A number of traditional fermented products are prepared and consumed in Himachal and the types of traditional fermented products of Himachal are unique and different from other areas. Bhatooru is an indigenous leavened bread or roti and constitutes the staple diet of rural population of Himachal. The microbiological analysis of the inoculums (malera) revealed that it composed of a consortium of...

The effect of adding increasing levels (0, 25, 50 and 75 μl/75 ml buffered rumen fluid) of essential oils (EOs) to a basal substrate (50% roughage: 50% concentrate) on ruminal fermentation characteristics was evaluated in vitro by a semi automatic gas production (GP) technique. The EOs used were from Achillea santolina (AS25, AS50, AS75), Artemisia judaica (AJ25, AJ50, AJ75), Schinus terebenthi...

The experiment was conducted to investigate potential causes of grain sterility in widely cultivated rice variety in Malaysia, MR219 and its two mutant lines (RM311 and RM109) by examining the source-sink relations. RM311 produced increased dry matter yield both at heading and maturity and also showed higher grain yield with greater proportion of grain sterility than the other two genotypes (RM...
