pomegranate (punica granatum l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, whose many varieties are cultivated. fruits are widely consumed fresh and in processed forms as juice, jams and etc. pomegranate peel, as a by-product of the commercial juice industry, is a rich source of bioactive compounds. this research has been done to evaluate and compare physical characteristics, total phenolics, total...

Theexperiment was conducted to investigate the growth performance and feed conversion efficiency of crossbred heifer at different age level in Government Dairy Farm in Bogra, Bangladesh. Twelve female crossbred heifers were equally distributed (n=3) into four groups [Group A: (7±2 months), B: (12±2 months), C: (15±2 months) and D: (20±2 months)] according to age and fed concentrate mix, rice st...

in process of sucrose determination in sugar beet, pulp analysis by polarometric method is done on the basis of fresh root weight .the volume of the juice of 26 grams of the pulp is considered 23 ml that with 177 ml of clarifying agent would be 200 ml. drought stress and dehydrated root reduce. the volume of the pulp extract of 23 ml. the objective of this experiment was to determine the proper...

The effects of storage and heat processing on the content and composition of free fatty acids (FFA) in oats (Avena saliva L.) have been studied. Samples of three cultivars (Kapp, Mustang, and Svea) were stored at 30, 55, and 80% rh for 3.5 and 15.5 months before heat processing of hulled and dehulled grains. Results from gas chromatographic analysis of individual FFA were closely correlated (r ...

Wisconsin dairy farmers produce more corn (Zea mays L.) silage than any other state in the U.S. A University of Wisconsin corn silage research consortium evaluated corn hybrids and found that the range for NDF and digestibility among commercial hybrids is narrow, but more importantly, yield and quality differences among corn hybrids were repeatable (Coors, 1996). In 1995, an extension program w...

Applicability of the TOBEC method (electrical conductivity) was tested for the in vivo determination of different egg components and for the separation of eggs with different composition. Altogether 300 hen’s eggs – originated from a 36 weeks old ROSS-308 hybrid parent stock – were measured by TOBEC, and the extreme and average 5-5% – based on the measured values – were chosen for chemical anal...

for evaluation of iranian onion morphotypes potentials and application of them in breedingprogrames, seeds of 23 iranian onion morphotypeswere collected from east azarbaijan (redazarshahrmorphotypes), tehran (red rey morphotypes), razavi khorasan (red neyshaboormorphotypes) and zanjan (gholyghese morphotypes). these onion morphotypes were planted inrcbd design in four replications in seed and p...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...
