OBJECTIVE The objectives were to assess the effects of purified lignin from wheat straw (sodium hydroxide dehydrated lignin; SHDL) on in vitro ruminal fermentation and on the growth performance of feedlot cattle. METHODS In vitro experiments were conducted by incubating a timothy-alfalfa (50:50) forage mixture (48 h) and barley grain (24 h) with 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/mL of rumen fluid...

The drive towards net-zero carbon emissions has prompted many industries to alter the way they operate. agriculture industry is responsible for a large proportion of UK’s greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, feasibility implementing an anaerobic digestion (AD) system supplying biogas trigeneration with energy storage provision heating, cooling and power been investigated in context medium-scale arab...

This study evaluated the effect of increasing the proportion of bison relative to cattle inoculum on fermentation and microbial populations within an artificial rumen (Rusitec). The experiment was a completely randomized design with a factorial treatment structure (proportion cattle:bison inoculum; 0:100, 33:67, 67:33, and 100:0) replicated in two Rusitec apparatuses (n = 8 fermenters). The exp...

The article shows the effect of organomineral fertilizers and various disintegrants-carriers oil-oxidizing biological product a new generation on indicators sod-podzolic soil heavily polluted with oil (up to 10%), decomposition rate in it. Sawdust, lowland peat, barley straw, vermiculite, flax shover lignin were studied as carriers bioproduct that showed positive effects during 2019 growing sea...

Abstract Currently, in Uzbekistan, wheat and barley grown dry lands are harvested with a combine harvester, the straw is piled on ground. However, due to their low yield (12-16 t/ha) lands, not suitable. As result, most of straw, especially small ones, remains ground when it collected baler, there lot destruction. This reason for accumulation important roughage used feeding livestock farms enga...
