Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of changing the proportion of supplemental degradable intake protein (DIP) from urea on forage intake, digestion, and performance by beef cattle consuming either low-quality, tallgrass prairie forage (Exp. 1, 2, and 4) or forage sorghum hay (Exp. 3). Experiments 1, 2, and 3 were intended to have four levels of supplemental DIP from urea:...

One of the simplest methods for short-term handling and storage of fish is the refrigeration in combination with dip treatments. This study was conducted to determine the effect of pre-storage α-tocopherol acetate dipping treatments on lipid stability of refrigerated rainbow trout fillets. Trout fillets were dipped in α-tocopherol acetate solutions (200 and 500 mg kg-1 flesh) and subsequently s...

The effects of honey solutions on preventing browning discoloration and maintaining visual appearance in fresh-cut ‘Nam Dok Mai’ mango fruit and the comparison of honey dip and commercially used citric acid and ascorbic acid dips were investigated. The mango cubes were dipped in honey solutions at the concentration of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 % (v/v) and the visual appearance and browning intensi...

Increased availability of rapidly fermentable carbohydrates and a great proportion of corn-derived CP in the diet may result in a degradable intake protein (DIP) deficit. Therefore, ruminal DIP deficit may result from high dietary inclusion of processed corn grain and small to moderate inclusion of corn distillers grains (DG). Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of increasing ...

fruit fly, ceratitis capitata (diptera:tephritidae), worldwide. to determine the best combination of trap and attractant for mass trapping of mediterranean fruit fly, a field experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 6 treatments in 3 replications in a pomegranate orchard in shiraz (iran) in 2009. treatments included: 1-jackson trap baited with trimedlure, 2- mc...

Malachite green and formalin were investigated as prophylactic dip treatments for developing embryos of Cyprinus carpio and Clarias gariepinus. Based on the findings, recommendations are made on the respective concentrations to be used and exposure periods to be followed for both formalin and malachite green for both fish species.

Supramolecular organic ferroelectrics have unique properties related to plasticity and freedom of design but the extensive post-deposition treatments that are typically required achieve saturation polarization limit their applicability. A possible solution is pre-align molecules. Here, effect dip-coating on pre-alignment prototypical supramolecular ferroelectric trialkylbenzene-1,3,5-tricarboxa...
