Panicoids (subfamily: panicoideae) are a group of C4 grasses, which include agronomically important crops such as sorghum and maize, bioenergy feedstocks including sugarcane and miscanthus, nutri-cereals such as millets, and biofuel crops including switchgrass, napier grass and guinea grass. Among these, millets are known for their climate-resilient features including adaptation to a wide range...

Livestock, particularly ruminants, can eat a wider range of biomass than humans. In the drive for greater efficiency, intensive systems of livestock production have evolved to compete with humans for high-energy crops such as cereals. Feeds consumed by livestock were analysed in terms of the quantities used and efficiency of conversion of grassland, human-edible ('edible') crops and crop by-pro...

The technological flow from a compound feed factory is very complex one, starting the storage of raw materials in special bunkers, then their movement to processing installations with help conveyor belts, grinding cereals, adding all ingredients indicated by assortment recipe, mixing and homogenization, finally granulation sterilization finished product obtained. As can be seen, one basic activ...

BACKGROUND The majority of food expenditures are made in supermarkets and this environment influences our purchasing and food intake. Breakfast cereals are frequently marketed as healthy food choices. The objective of this study was to examine the frequency of in-store promotions for cold breakfast cereals in Canadian supermarkets and to determine whether healthier or less healthy breakfast cer...

There are both public health and food industry initiatives aimed at increasing breakfast consumption among children, particularly the consumption of ready-to-eat cereals. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were identifiable differences in nutritional quality between cereals that are primarily marketed to children and cereals that are not marketed to children. Of the 161 ce...

The ruminal degradation and intestinal digestibility (ID) of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) of different feed samples were measured in two trials by using nylon bag and rumen outflow rate techniques in three wethers cannulated in the rumen and in the duodenum. In trial 1, three samples of grains of wheat, barley, and corn treated by cooking (TW, TB, and TC, respectively) were studied to...

A circular phosphorus (P) bioeconomy is not only worthwhile for conserving limited mineral P reservoirs, but also minimizing negative environmental impacts caused by human-made alterations. Although an essential nutrient, most of the in concentrates based on cereals, legumes and oilseed byproducts organically bound to phytate. The latter cannot be efficiently utilized monogastric animals theref...

• Supplementing pig feeds with C18:1-rich oils increases C18:1 in pork fat. Increasing fat is associated improved flavor. Cereals and pulses influence the transfer of from diets to meats. Ethnic background had no on liking pork. One main drivers consumer meat choice flavor some pleasing attributes high oleic acid (C18:1) content intramuscular This project aimed produce a distinctively pleasant ...

The scope for enhancement of productivity under irrigated conditions is limited due to over-exploitation available resources However, there ample opportunity boosting yield in drylands by adopting suitable crops and cropping systems. agricultural sustainability comparatively hard achieve different constraints like poor soil fertility, lack irrigation facilities moisture stress, small holdings l...
