BACKGROUND Literature is lacking on the effects of feeding by-product feed (BF)-based silage on rumen fermentation parameters, nutrient digestion and nitrogen (N) retention in sheep. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of replacing rye straw with BF-based silage as a roughage source on ruminal parameters, total-tract apparent nutrient digestibility, and N balance in shee...

Kurozu (or Kurosu) is traditional Japanese black vinegar made by prolonged fermentation of unpolished rice that contains rice germ and rice bran [1]. While there are several preparation methods, one native to Kagoshima prefecture involves drying the fermented product in the sun for more than a year in earthenware jars. The liquid concentrate after drying is called Kurozu and the sediment at the...

The ability of seeds to withstand desiccation develops during embryogenesis and differs considerably among species. Paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains readily survive dehydration to as low as 2% water content, whereas North American wild rice (Zizania palustris var interior [Fasset] Dore) grains are not tolerant of water contents below 6% and are sensitive to drying and imbibition conditions. ...

BACKGROUND The FAO has recommended replacing the protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) with the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS). OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare aspects underlying the calculation of the DIAAS and PDCAAS, including 1) fecal digestibility vs. ileal digestibility, 2) using a single nitrogen digestibility value for all am...

Rice, the staple food of south and east Asian counties, is considered to be hypoallergenic. However, several clinical studies have documented rice-induced allergy in sensitive patients. Rice proteins with molecular weights of 14-16, 26, 33, and 56 kDa have been identified as allergens. Recently, it was documented that the 56 kDa rice allergen was responsible for rice-induced anaphylaxis. The 14...

Twenty Bunaji bulls aged 2-3 years with an average weight of 230kg were assigned to five dietary treatments four per treatment in a 2x2 factorial configuration common control determine the effect feeding diet containing varying inclusion raw or parboiled rice offal on bull rumen metabolites which lasted for 90 days. Rumen fluid was collected at 0, 2, 4, and 6 hr intervals assess pH, ammonia nit...

in this study, prodused wheyless cheese was a kind of feta cheese that was considered as a substitution for uf cheese. in this method, by mixing whey protein concentrate (wpc) or milk protein concentrate (mpc) in cream, similar to retentate, which is used in ultrafiltration cheese, was obtained. then, the process was followed similar to production of uf cheese. two experimental samples with the...

abstract: edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (wpc) and gellan gum (g) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of malus domestica cv golab apples. wpc and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (gly) were tested. postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...
