A one-year study was conducted to measure the effects of balanced supplementation to improve biosustainability of a 110 head goat herd in Mexico in terms of economic feasibility on limited pasturing range land complemented with an alfalfa hay forage bank and grazing corn stubble. Average weight of adult females was 52.410 5 kg, yearlings 40.0 3 kg at ®rst kidding. Average total lactation milk p...

Natural thermal insulation materials developed from renewable crop by-products and natural binders are analysed in terms of their thermal degradation and fire behaviour. A pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetre (PCFC) is used to characterise some kinds of crop by-products, including rice husk, corn pith and barley straw. This technique is complemented with a TG analysis. Six thermal insulation m...

Small grains crop yield and quality losses resulting from Fusarium head blight (FHB) continue to threaten the economic sustainability of many small grains producers in Minnesota. Spring wheat breeders have made some progress in developing cultivars with moderate levels of disease resistance, but increased resistance in barley has not been achieved. Crop rotation and a timely application of fung...

The present and future high demand of common cereals as corn wheat encourage the development feed processing technology that allows for dietary inclusion other low nutritional value in poultry feeding. Barley grains contain anti-nutritional factors limit their industry. treatment barley with solid-state fermentation exogenous enzymes (FBEs) provides a good alternative to cereals. In this study,...

The objective of this study was to investigate the variability in crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) content cereal grains imported from different origins Korea 2006 2015. values CP AA contents corn, wheat, barley were obtained 430 325 samples six countries, 83 56 seven 60 58 three respectively. concentrations ranged 7.12 (Brazil) 7.68% (India), 10.55 (Ukraine) 13.26% (Brazil), 9.46 (India...

Amylopectin concentration in barley endosperm has important effects on grain quality and end-use. In this study, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis together with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed to identify markers linked to grain amylopectin content respectively using a doubled haploid (DH) population of 178 lines and a collection of 185 diverse barley germplasms both...

Red-winged blackbird (Agelaiu^ phoeniceus) acceptance of corn as a bait for use in ripening sunflower has been questioned. This study demonstrated that sunflower meats, sunflower achenes, and pearled barley all have potential as alternative bait carriers for 4-AP. Each can be treated with 4-AP so that individual bait particles carry dosages equivalent to those of cracked corn in the registered ...
