Odor and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stored pig (Sus scrofa) manure were monitored for response to changes in the crude protein level (168 or 139 g kg(-1), as-fed basis) and nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) content [i.e., control, or modified with beet pulp (Beta vulgaris L.), cornstarch, or xylanase] of diets fed to pigs in a production setting. Each diet was fed to one of eight pens of ...

This experiment was conducted to determine whether increasing the net energy (NEL ) of a total mixed ration (TMR) with mainly unsaturated fat from corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) vs. rumen inert (RI)-saturated fat has similar impacts on animal performance. The experiment was an incomplete Youden square with three treatments and four 28-days periods, completed on a large commer...

YUKSEL, S., L. TURGUT, M. YANAR, M. AKSU, G. KABAN and N. UNLU, 2011. Fatty acid composition, lean color and drip loss of the different muscles from young Holstein friesian bulls fi nished on diets containing varied proportions of wet sugar beet pulp and wheat straw. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 17: 696-703 The main purpose of this work is to determine meat quality attributes in 3 muscles of the Holst...

This study investigated the effect of Rumex Sc (commercial product which includes of Saccharomyces cervisiae, saponin and essential oils) on rumen fermentation, blood glucose, urea, milk yield and milk composition. Animals were offered a basal diet containing alfalfa hay (15.5%), corn silage (24%), beet pulp (7%) and concentrate (53.5%). Additionally, Rumex Sc was included in the experimental d...

There is a wide range of industrial activities involving load balancing problems and there is currently no general approach to such problems. The genetic algorithm, (Holland 1975), has proved to be successful on optimisation problems and is often used in conjunction with other methods. This paper describes and compares two methods which use the genetic algorithm to balance the load of the press...

The guinea-pig first achieved fame as an experimental animal in the eighteenth century, when Lavoisier used it for his fundamental experiments on respiration (Lavoisier & La Place, 1784; Seguin & Lavoisier, 1793). It did not, however, begin to make nutritional history till the twentieth century, when Holst & Frolich (1go7), in trying to give it beriberi, found that it developed scurvy instead; ...

Studies were carried out with a repeated 4×4 Latin square design with eight cannulated pigs fed four experimental diets to investigate the effect of dietary fiber and starch sources on apparent ileal and fecal amino acid digestibility. Each period lasted 15 d, with diet acclimation from d 1 to 7, feces collection for 48 h on d 8 to 9 and ileal sample collection for 12 h on d 13 to 15. The four ...

the effect of pulse electric field on mass transfer in sugar beet cossettes with different thicknesses were investigated and compared with traditional thermal processing. two kinds of sugar beet cossettes 3±0.5 cm and 2±0.5 thicknesses with 3–5 cm long subjected to pulse electric field (3kv, 8 µf, and 20 pulse) and compared with heat treated samples (80ºc for15 minutes) as conventional thermal ...

This study aimed to assess the effects of environmental enrichment with either hanging manipulable toys or rootable substrates on the behaviour of finishing pigs in two contrasting housing systems. Thousand one hundred and twenty-four (Large White Landrace) Large White pigs were housed contemporarily in either a straw-based (ST) or fully slatted (FS) building from 35 kg to slaughter at 104 kg l...

Global economic development has led to the widespread use of fossil fuels, and their extensive resulted in increased environmental pollution. As a result, significantly more attention is being paid issues alternative renewable energy sources. Bioethanol production from agro-industrial byproducts, residues, wastes one example sustainable production. This research aims develop process cost model ...
