Sixteen steers (650 Ib) were used to determine the effects of corn moisture, protein concentration and monensin (Rumensin) on ration digestibility and nitrogen retention. The steers were placed in metabolism stalls and fed rations of high moisture corn (HMC) or dry rolled corn at two protein levels (9.3 and 12.3 percent) with two monensin levels (0 and 30 g per ton of feed). Monensin addition d...

breeding based on selection indices is an effective method for improving complex traits such as yield. to assess the efficiency of different selection methods, 50 genotypes of tall fescue (festuca arundinace) were evaluated under two moisture conditions including full irrigation (normal environment) and deficit irrigation (stress environment). the experiment was conducted according to a randomi...

thirty multiparous holstein dairy cows with average body weights of 687±15 kg and body condition scores of 3.25±0.15 were allocated to 1 out of each 3 groups, immediately after parturition (dim=11) and in a completely randomized design. the first group was fed diet low in rumen undegradable protein (rup; 5.1% of dry matter), the second group fed with medium rup (7.2% of dry matter) while the th...

Cassava tubers are an excellent source of carbohydrate and a competitive starch most traded internationally. It is highly desirable raw material for food industrial purpose due to its high dietary content. The economic value cassava products lies in the DMC (dry matter content). roots contain up 80-90 per cent by dry weight 80 starch. Increasing world population, limited land area, changing cli...

A comprehensive study on both the eco-physiological and productive response of potatoes to dynamic deficit irrigation is lacking. Therefore, aim was study, over two growing seasons potato cultivars—Arinda Timate, effects five regimes (I0–dry control, I1—irrigated I2—supply 100% maximum evapotranspiration—ETm from tuber initiation up 50% growth 0% ETm end growth, I3—supply I4—supply 75% growth) ...

wheat residues management and modification in tillage time are among suggested practices in weed control. to evaluate the effects of wheat residues and tillage time on weed dry matter and leaf area, corn dry matter and corn grain yield, a study was conducted at darab agriculture and natural resource college, shiraz university during growing season of 2008-2009. this experiment was conducted in ...
