More than 50% of agricultural land is threatened by water erosion in the Czech Republic. With respect to soil erosion, maize (Zea mays L.) belongs most problematic crops; one possibilities increase protection against intercropping. In this study, we attempted find out effects individual intercrops and their mixtures (sown 4–6 weeks after sowing maize) or a mixed culture (maize plus lupine) on l...

Since corn is sensitive to salt and saline irrigation water, soil salinity poses a serious threat production. Therefore, it important know in advance the response of cultivated varieties stress order not lose too much In this study, was aimed determine (NaCl) thirteen commercial silage maize hybrid commonly used by farmers Türkiye. For purpose, seed germination early seedling growth were tested...

The yeast Williopsis mrakii produces a mycocin or yeast killer toxin designated HMK; this toxin exhibits high thermal stability, high pH stability, and a broad spectrum of activity against other yeasts. We describe construction of a synthetic gene for mycocin HMK and heterologous expression of this toxin in Aspergillus niger. Mycocin HMK was fused to a glucoamylase protein carrier, which result...

The enhancement of the degradation rate of energy crops, agricultural residues and manure by different lab scale pretreatment pathways is shown in previous studies. In general, the pretreatments resulted in higher degradation efficiencies and an increase in methane yield for lignocellulosic and fibrous biomass. The major drawback of most of the different pretreatment methods is that either they...

Maize silage is one of the most important feeds for ruminant nutrition and various production methods can have a significant impact on their quality, especially utilization nutrients. The objective study was to evaluate effect conventional shredlage processing harvested maize kernel processing, fermentation profile, physically effective fibre digestibility silage. A stay-green hybrid with forag...

The paper analyses the costs of production roughage and nutritive fodder fattening HF Limousine crossbreds feeder cattle. growing for cattle were calculated per one hectare. cost producing tonne feed was determined based on farm’s mean crop yield. calculation included maintenance, including feeding 14 animals over 22 months. kept untethered in stalls with deep litter from body weight 36.86 kg t...

Our objective was to assess the effect of forage processor roll gap width and storage length on fermentation, nutrient composition, kernel processing score (KPS), ruminal in situ starch disappearance (isSD) whole-plant maize silage harvested at different maturities. Samples from a single hybrid three harvest maturities (1/4, 1/2, 3/4 milk line (early, intermediate, late, respectively)) processe...
