Seasonal variability impact on livestock production and management stems from poor pasture quality and quantity as well as shortage of water. During wet season, there is usually sufficient quantity of pasture in good quality for animal consumption; but during dry season, there is always insufficient pasture as well as shortage of water for livestock consumption. As a result of these, exploratio...

Natural or synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) has been frequently used as implant materials for orthopaedic and dental applications, showing excellent bioactivity, adequate mechanical rigidity and structure, osteoconductivity and angiogenic properties, no toxicity, and absence of inflammatory or antigenic reactions. HA can be easily synthesized or extracted from natural sources, such as bovine bone....

Background: In natural waters and/or aquaculture facilities, fish are often exposed to chromium waste and demonstrate cumulative deleterious effects. To our knowledge, there are no studies concerning the effects of trivalent Cr on C. carpio hematology. This study presents hematological and some biochemical parameters of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, affected by sublethal concentration of triva...

The present study focuses on the optimization in the use of non-petroleum fuel derived from waste fish oil fuels, as a replacement for petroleum diesel fuel for compression ignition engine. The study comprises of comparison between results of fish oil biodiesel-diesel blends on a compression ignition engine. Fuel properties such as viscosity, density, heat value of fuel, cetane number and a fla...

background: biofloc technology is considered  a method that degrades organic waste by microorganisms and produces bacterial flocculation. objectives: this study was performed to evaluate of the application of biofloc technology in therearing of common carp (cyprinus carpio) fingerlings in intensive culture. methods: the experiment was designed in four treatments (commercial diet as a control, 7...

Çalışmada, kültür deniz balıkları işleme endüstrisi artıklarından formik asit hidrolizi ile balık silajı ve yağı üretilmesi, elde edilen ürünlerin kimyasal mikrobiyolojik kalitesinin tespiti yağının yağ kompozisyonun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda silajının nem içeriği %80,40, tüm aşamalarda ürün önemli göstergelerinden birisi olan pH değerinin de 3,62 3,89...

Waste sardine oil, a byproduct of fish industry, was employed as a low cost feedstock for biodiesel production. It has relatively high free fatty acid (FFA) content (32 mg KOH/g of oil). Lipase enzyme immobilized on activated carbon was used as the catalyst for the transesterification reaction. Process variables viz. reaction temperature, water content and oil to methanol molar ratio were optim...
