1. In a study spanning two breeding seasons, we assessed the effect of different dietary energy and protein levels on body mass, body condition, and egg production of female ostriches. 2. During the first breeding season, groups were given diets with energy concentrations of 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 MJ/kg dry mass (DM) metabolisable energy (ME) and protein concentrations of 135, 150 and 165 g/kg. In t...

In this research, the energy use efficiency (EUE) and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of cotton cultivation in Beşiri district Batman province Turkey were determined. This research was conducted through face-to-face surveys with 64 farms selected by simple random sampling method 2018-2019 season. The input (EI) output (EO) calculated as 52,302.62 MJ/ha 60,341.03 MJ/ha. Energy inputs consist elec...

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a promising technology used for bioenergy conversion from bio-wastes such as sewage sludge, livestock manure, and food waste. To determine the optimum HTC reaction temperature in maximizing the gross energy recovery efficiency of poultry slaughterhouse sludge cake, a pilot-scale HTC reactor was designed and operated under reaction temperatures of 170, 180, 19...

Eighty first-litter sows in a commercial piggery were assigned to two feeding treatments during a 26-day lactation. A commercial diet containing an estimated 15% crude protein (CP), 0.65% lysine and 12.5 MJ digestible energy (DE)/kg was offered to sows in the control group which consumed 3.04 kg/day. Sows in the treatment group were given a higher quality diet containing 16.4% CP, 0.83% lysine ...

The purpose of this study is to determine the energy use efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in peach production that took place Kırklareli province Turkey during 2020-2021 season. This includes calculations input, output, efficiency, specific energy, productivity, net input types, GHG ratio. Survey, observation data are related obtained from were collected 16 different farms (reachab...

The response of laying Japanese quails to dietary levels of energy and protein on performance, egg quality, hatchability, fertility and their effect on subsequent offspring live body weight was investigated. A total of 432 Japanese quails (13 weeks old) were divided into nine treatments. Each treatment comprised of four replicates of twelve birds (9 females and 3 males). Nine diets including th...

Fuel calorific value is an important parameter in fire behaviour. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for determining the calorific value of fuel. Fifty samples of various fuel components from the Mediterranean forest (17.1–24.6 MJ⋅kg–1) were used to establish a calibration equation between NIR spectra (1100–2500 nm) an...

Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch.) is produced in most areas of Iran, where flowering is hindered by temperature. Using plant growth regulators to delay bloom is a suggestive measure to avoid frost damage. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid (SA) on peach bloom delay and yield.  This study evaluated the applications of MJ 0 (contro...
