Water resources management presents an important research topic, because our planet is facing a serious water crisis. About 70% of all fresh water usage goes towards agriculture. Moreover, low water application efficiency are well reported in the literature. Improving on-farm irrigation efficiency can make a substantial contribution to a more sustainable utilization of the world’s fresh water r...

Flood damage assessments provide critical information for flood hazard mitigation under changing climate conditions. Recent efforts to improve and systemise have focused primarily on urban environments with few examples primary industries such as dairy. This paper explores the adverse consequences of flooding dairy farms in Bay Plenty region, New Zealand. Ex-tropical Cyclone Debbie April 2017 c...

The milk whey remaining at the end of cheese-making process is main by-product dairy industries and it currently used as a source high added-value compounds by food pharmaceutical industries. aim this research was to study effects season on residual characteristics in Parmigiano Reggiano process. Over two years, total 288 trials PDO (Protected Designation Origin) cheese were performed three com...

Petrochemical and dairy industries, waste management, paper manufacturing fall under the category of process industries where flow liquid control are essential. Even when liquids mixed or chemically treated in interconnected tanks, fluid should constantly be observed controlled, especially dealing with nonlinearity imperfect plant models. In this study, we propose a nonlinear dynamic multiple-i...

ABSTRACT The article assesses the effect of different potassium emulsifying salts concentrations on physicochemical, colorimetric, and texture characteristics processed cheese manufactured using Maasdam. Except for pH, physicochemical parameters remained unchanged, but gradual substitution sodium with potassium-based influenced color texture. Treatments at least 50% showed a reduction 30% sodiu...

in order to examine the effect of using rumen protected methionine (mepron, evonik industries, hanau, germany) on productive and reproductive performance under field condition, 195 holstein cows were used in a unbalanced completely randomized design and 2 groups. experimental treatments consisted of: 1) control group with 110 holstein dairy cows (71±51 dim and 47.5±12 milk yield) and without me...

background: aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a toxic compound that could be found in milk and dairy products. afm1 is the principle hydroxylated derivative of aflatoxin b1 (afb1), formed in liver and excreted into the milk in the mammary glands of both human and lactating animals that have been fed with afb1 contaminated diet. to the best of our knowledge, there is no report on stability of afm1 during p...
