this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using three commercial enzymes on performance and carcass quality of broiler chickens fed with wheat-barley-soy based diets. in a completely randomized design 405 of broiler (ross308) in nine treatments, three replicates (with 15 bird in each replicate) were used. the experimental diets included 1) diet based on corn–soybean meal (with...

This paper reports a solid-state fungal fermentation-based pre-treatment strategy to convert wheat straw into a fermentable hydrolysate. Aspergillus niger was firstly cultured on wheat straw for production of cellulolytic enzymes and then the wheat straw was hydrolyzed by the enzyme solution into a fermentable hydrolysate. The optimum moisture content and three wheat straw modification methods ...

The objective was to investigate the effect of supplementing a wheat distillers dried grains with solubles (wheat DDGS)-based diet with carbohydrase enzyme blends on growth performance and nutrient digestibilities in growing and finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, 48 pigs with a BW of 36.5 +/- 1.03 kg (mean +/- SD) were randomly assigned to 24 pens (2 pigs per pen) on the basis of sex and BW, and pigs w...

Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) was found in various immature seeds of C(3) plants (wheat, pea, green bean, plum, and castor bean), in some C(3) leaves (tobacco, spinach, sunflower, and wheat), and in C(4) (maize) kernels. The enzyme in the C(3) plants cross-reacts with rabbit antiserum against maize PPDK. Based on protein blot analysis, the apparent subunit size of PPDK from wheat seed...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of enzyme supplementation and particle size of wheat-based diets on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in nursery and finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, 180 weaned pigs (5.7 kg and 21 d of age) were fed diets in a 35-d growth assay without or with a Trichoderma longibrachiatium enzyme product (4,000 units of xylanase activity per gram...

The effects of non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) content of wheat and xylanase supplementation (XS) of the diet, on intestinal enzyme activity (amylase, aminopeptidase and lipase), fat digestibility and ileal viscosity of laying hens has been studied. Two hundred forty Hy-Line W-36 layer from 20 to 25 week of age were studied under a factorial experiment (4×2) in completely randomized design with...

Chlorophyll degradation enzyme (i.e., chlorophyllase, Mg-dechelatase, and chlorophyll oxidase) activities of aphid-infested and uninfested 'Tugela' and Tugela near-isogenic wheat lines (i.e., Tugela-Dn1, Tugela-Dn2, and Tugela-Dn5) were assayed. Chlorophyllase activity was higher in bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Homoptera: Aphididae),-infested wheat lines compared with Russian...

Enzyme with deamidase activity was found in the germinating wheat seeds. The activity appeared in the seeds after 24 hours of germination and reached its maximum value after 48 hours and then declined rapidly. Protein deamidase from germinating wheat seeds was further purified by salting out with phosphate salts and by subsequent chromatography on gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose column chroma...

in order to evaluate the allelopatic potential of wheat aquatic extracts against winter wild oat (avena ludoviciana) at germiantion and vegetative growth stage two expriments were coducted in islamic azad university, shoushtar branch at 2012. germination expriment was laid out according to completely randomized design with four replications and treatments were various concentration of wheat ext...
