Quality of soybeans and soybean meals (SBM) from non-US and US origins were compared. The US SBM was more consistent with higher digestibility (by KOH solubility), lower fiber and better quality of protein (by essential amino acid levels) than SBM of other major export origins (Argentina, Brazil and India). Protein quality carried through from whole soybeans to SBM, for a given origin. While th...

This paper selects panel data of 29 provinces in mainland China from 2010-2017 and combines a DEA-SBM model that takes into account non-desired outputs the Malmquis index method to study static dynamic changes regional green innovation efficiency. It is found overall level efficiency low, but trend on rise there more room for improvement. The differences values among three regions East, West Ce...

Abstract The development of the Internet has changed many traditional commercial models enterprises. Therefore, term is increasingly drawing attention from scholars. However, we are not certain whether improves problem difficult financing enterprises and enhances enterprise efficiency. This paper analyzes can promote First, Data Envelopment Analysis- Slack Based Measure (DEA-SBM) model applied ...

Soybeans (SBs) were obtained from five leading SB-producing countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, and the United States), imported to the United States, and processed into soybean meal (SBM) under uniform conditions in the United States. SBs from China had the highest crude protein (CP) content while SBs and the resultant SBM from Argentina had the lowest. Additional differences in the qu...

Six experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of a feed supplement on the performance of grazing Belgian Blue double-muscled (BBDM) heifers with an initial weight and age of 195 ± 43 kg and 190 ± 52 days. Treatments included were: Exp. 1: supplementation with beet pulp (BP): 2 kg/day per head v. ad libitum intake; Exp. 2: supplementation ad libitum with BP v. a mixture of BP and soyb...

• Efficiency of operational processes with undesirable outputs containing series and parallel processes. Developing a network Slacks-Based DEA model to include components. A Slack-Based data envelopment analysis for measuring efficiency banks. An assessment Chinese commercial banks considering both This paper proposes new slacks-based measure (SBM-NDEA) evaluate the performance production that ...

Food security is always a pressing agenda worldwide. The grain production in many areas has decreased due to the reduction agricultural research funding and infrastructure investment. In this paper, we employed Extreme-Tree algorithm determine main effectors Hexi Corridor, Gansu, China, during 2002–2018. First, applied three-stage super-SBM DEA precisely assess production. Then, used Extremely ...

Abstract Eco-efficiency, especially the total-factor eco-efficiency, measured by DEA models considering undesirable outputs, has been a popular instrument to evaluate sustainable development in recent years. However, pursues not only high eco-efficiency which ensures that utilization of natural resource and environment is way, but also good effectiveness right direction. In this paper, firstly,...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment was to determine apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) in 15 sources of soybean meal (SBM) produced from soybeans from different countries and subsequently to establish equations for predicting the AID and SID in SBM based on their chemical composition. METHODS Eighteen...
