The aims of this research were to: (1) investigate the species richness of wawo worms, and to (2) analyze macronutrient content of the worms. Wawo worms were sampled using a fishing net on March 18(th)-19(th), 2014, from Ambonese waters, Maluku. As many as 26 wawo species belonging to 5 families were identified. Palola sp. was identified as the most abundant species of wawo, followed by Lysidic...

Changes in the chemical composition and functional properties of fermented seed flour of Pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan L. were studied for 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 days. The differently fermented seeds were analyzed for proximate composition, calorific values and functional properties. Results showed that fermentation significantly (p≤ 0.05) increased the moisture, protein and ash contents of the seed while...

to investigate the relationship between chemical composition of meat from the carcass cuts and thewhole carcass, 48 nine-month-old randomly selected ram lambs of ghezel and mehraban (24 rams per breed)were used in a trial arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial experiment with two breeds and two feeding levels (high andlow), in a completely randomized design. after 80 days, all animals were slaughtered a...

brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...

the study was carried out on 120 crossbred holstein × shahiwal dairy cows for a period of 150 days to quantify the influence of dietary energy and protein intake on yield and composition of milk. total 12 dairy farms having similar housing systems and holding at least 20 dairy cows in between mid to late lactation were selected for study purposes. the farms were located in the peri-urban and ur...
