Abstract Rapeseed meal (RSM) is an agro-industrial residue of increased functional biological value that contains high-quality proteins for animal feed. Due to the presence antinutritional factors and immature development technology, RSM currently used as a limited feed additive in other relatively low-value applications. With increasing emphasis on green sustainable industrial added residues, ...

There are few good sources of natural food folates apart from green leafy vegetables and these may have a limited potential to increase folate status because of substantial losses that can occur during cooking. Fortified foods can overcome this but are controversial because of safety concerns regarding chronic exposure to high-dose folic acid (FA; the synthetic form). The aim of the present stu...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of weaning age on dry matter intake (dmi), average daily gain (adg), feed efficiency (fe), feed cost (fc) and benefit index (bi) of holstein calves reared under organic farming system. thirty two holstein calves were divided into two treatments: early weaning (ew) vs. late weaning (lw). calves in the both groups were provided with whole mi...

Substantial increase in the production of agri-food commodities over past years has resulted generation enormous volumes wastes and by-products, thus contributing to increased environmental pollution. Being an under-exploited raw material which are rich bioactive compounds (e.g., polyphenols, dietary fibre, oils, essential vitamins, minerals, etc), novel strategies initiatives have been propose...

The rhabditid entomopathogenic nematode associated Bacillus cereus and the antifungal compounds produced by this bacterium were evaluated for their activity in reducing postharvest decay of peanut kernels caused by Aspergillus species in in vitro and in vivo tests. The results showed that B. cereus had a significant effect on biocontrol effectiveness in in vitro and in vivo conditions. The anti...

The effects of dietary macroalgae, or seaweeds, on growth performance and meat quality livestock animal species are here reviewed. Macroalgae classified into Phaeophyceae (brown algae), Rhodophyceae (red algae) Chlorophyceae (green algae). most common macroalga genera used as feedstuffs are: Ascophyllum, Laminaria Undaria for brown algae; Ulva, Codium Cladophora green Pyropia, Chondrus Palmaria...

Monochromatic green light-emitting diodes (LED) light stimuli influences the posthatch growth performance of chicks. This study was undertaken with the following objectives: i) to examine whether the green LED light stimuli induces an overheating effect by determining weight loss rate of fertile eggs during incubation period; ii) to look for the development of eyes and other primary organs at d...

nowadays, paying attention to the environmental needs and desires of consumersand trying to satisfy them by designing marketing activities in an environmentallyfriendly way, is the best way to increase their satisfaction and finally, gaincompetitive advantage. prior research has paid much attention to the consumerbehavior and marketing activities of corporate organizations, but none has studied...
