Feed production is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from dairy production and demands large arable and pasture acreage. This study analysed how regional conditions influence GHG emissions of dairy feed rations in a life cycle perspective, that is the carbon footprint (CF) and the land area required. Factors assessed included regional climate variations, grass/clover silage...

abstract: mostly honey bee consumes pollen as fermented and fermentation improves foods biological value in some cases.  in this study we evaluate the nutritional effects of fermented diets on honey bee body protein and brood rearing in colonies. this experiment conducted on honey bee colonies with different diets in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 7 replicates for 50 days....

Around the world, fermentation of foods has been adopted over many generations, primarily due to their commercial significance with enriched flavors and high-profile nutrients. The increasing application of fermented foods is further promoted by recent evidence on their health benefits, beyond the traditionally recognized effects on the digestive system. With recent advances in the understandin...

Condensed fermented corn extractives (liquid steep liquor) was assessed as an alternative to organic acids in broiler chicken. Day-old Ross 308 chicken (n = 180) were allocated into six treatments (basal diet with no supplement, basal supplemented 1 and 2 cc/kg liquid liquor (CSL) or formic acid along probiotic (1 × 108 CFU/g, Lactobacillus acidophilus, casei) a completely randomised design fiv...

Iron-deficiency anemia is the nutritional deficiency most frequently occurring throughout the world, which manifests as a complex systemic disease involving all cells, affecting enzyme activities and modifying protein synthesis. In view of these considerations, the objective of the present study was to determine the effects of iron-deficiency anemia on disaccharidases and on the epithelial morp...

The effect of mono-culture fungal fermentation on mineral composition and amino acid profile of mango (Mangifera indica) kernel cake was investigated. Rhizopus oligosporus, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer and Penicillium chrysogenum were isolated from decomposed mango kernels and then used to ferment mango kernel cake (MKC) for 168hrs. After fermentation the resulted MKC was dried at 60C...
