An in sacco mobile bag technique was used to determine the rate and extent of disappearance of unmolassed sugar-beet pulp, soyabean hulls, hay cubes and an oat hull-naked oats mixture (67:33, w/w) in the foregut and total digestive tract of ponies. Ponies were administered naso-gastrically polyester mesh bags containing 350 mg feed, in a Latin square design. Bags were collected at the ileo-caec...

The experiment was carried out in 1999-2001 at the University of Agriculture in Krakow (Poland) to study the capacity of nine crops (red beet, field pumpkin, chicory, bean, barley, white cabbage, maize, alfalfa, and parsnip) to remove cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) from different soil horizons (0-20, 20-40, 40-60 cm). The content of exchangeable Cd, Pb, and Zn decreased along with the de...

Pectins isolated from sugar beet pulp by autoclaving contained significant amounts of ferulates, 8.8% of which were ferulate dehydrodimers. The 8-8 and 8-0-4 dehydrodimers were predominant. Oxidative cross-linking with hydrogen peroxide/peroxidase lowered the amount of ferulic acid by 78%, while an increase in ferulate dehydrodimers by a factor of 4.9 was observed. The highest increase was seen...

YUKSEL, S., L. TURGUT, M. YANAR, M. AKSU, G. KABAN and N. UNLU, 2011. Fatty acid composition, lean color and drip loss of the different muscles from young Holstein friesian bulls fi nished on diets containing varied proportions of wet sugar beet pulp and wheat straw. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 17: 696-703 The main purpose of this work is to determine meat quality attributes in 3 muscles of the Holst...

BACKGROUND Enzymatic degradation of plant biomass requires a complex mixture of many different enzymes. Like most fungi, thermophilic Myceliophthora species therefore have a large set of enzymes targeting different linkages in plant polysaccharides. The majority of these enzymes have not been functionally characterized, and their role in plant biomass degradation is unknown. The biotechnologica...

limited data exist about the production of extruded linseed as a feed ingredient in farm animal nutrition. the objective of this study was to produce and evaluate extruded linseed mixed with alfalfa hay, pistachio by-products, and sugar beet pulp or corn grain in different proportions of linseed: alfalfa hay: pistachio by-products at ratios of 70:15:15, 70:20:10, 70:10:20, and 80:10:10 for qual...

Beet pulp as component of cattle feed can be processed in different way. Tis study was performed to characterize the physical properties of so called fine beet pulp (FBP); normal beet pulp (NBP) and pelleted beet pulp (PBP). The following parameters were determined: bulk density, kinetics of hydration, functional specific gravity (FSG), water holding capacity (WHC), soluble dry matter and intri...
