Research has shown that consumption of high fiber breakfast cereal is associated with improved subjective well-being, especially increased energy. One possible explanation of these results is through metabolism by gut bacteria and concomitant production of metabolites that influence psychological and gastrointestinal (GI) welfare. This was examined in the present study to determine whether cons...

Twenty-five weaned 35-day-old piglets were used in a 35-day growth experiment to evaluate the effect of inclusion of chicory and ribwort forage in a cereal-based diet on growth performance, feed intake, digestibility and shedding of faecal coliform bacteria. A total of seven experimental diets were formulated, a cereal-based basal diet (B), and six diets with inclusion of 40, 80 and 160 g/kg ch...

To attain effective utilization of water in different sectors, understanding and applying the new concept management tools like footprint analysis is mandatory. Hence, this study aims to estimate green blue for selected major cereal vegetable crops Salale Zone. Ten year (2011–2020) climatic, crop yield, cultivated area data were collected. Green footprints (m3/ton), average per-kilogram each pr...

a research plan was developed to evaluate the occurrence of enteroviruses, giardia cysts and cryptosporidium oocysts in thirty-five different sites in the city of mashhad, iran. the occurrence of these pathogenic microorganisms was evaluated to investigate a possible health risk in the communities. for the detection of enteroviruses in water samples, the conventional method of cell culture, usi...

low cereal and legumes yields and their rwp index are mainly due to poor distribution of rainfall and poor agronomic management practices. rainfed barley yield and rain water productivity (rwp, defined as rainfed grain yield divided by the total crop season annual rainfall water) in the dry farming are considerable by topography and latitude. yield data, rainfall, altitude and latitude of 182 p...
