Seasonal variability impact on livestock production and management stems from poor pasture quality and quantity as well as shortage of water. During wet season, there is usually sufficient quantity of pasture in good quality for animal consumption; but during dry season, there is always insufficient pasture as well as shortage of water for livestock consumption. As a result of these, exploratio...

Urease catalyzes hydrolysis of urea. The present investigation was undertaken to investigate the urease activity and its optimization during L-glutamic acid fermentation by a biotin auxotroph Corynebacterium glutamicum X680 using urea as principal nitrogen source. Another interesting part this study efficiency microorganism for utilization indigenous raw materials (such hydrolysates cassava sta...

In Vietnam, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second most important food crop after rice in terms of total production; annual root production is about 2 million tonnes, the majority of which is used for animal feeding. Cassava is also an important source of income for poor farmers. Making silage is an appropriate method to preserve cassava roots to be used for pig feeding and is applica...

Xylanases are hydrolytic enzymes with wide range of applications in food processing, bleaching pulp paper manufacturing industry, bio-conversion biomass wastes to fermentable sugars and enhancing nutrient digestibility animal feeds. The optimization growth conditions evaluation an appropriate substrate as carbon source among cassava peels, corn cobs, wheat bran rice husk on xylanase production ...

Fish viscera can be an important source of protein and energy for aquafeed, its use contributes to circular aquaculture. The aim this study was produce acid fermented silage from fish determine their nutritional value the apparent digestibility coefficient nutrients juvenile tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). An three silages with different sources carbohydrates (molasses, wheat bran, cassava was...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of levels of cottonseed meal with various carbohydrate sources in concentrate on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis in dairy bulls. Four, 6 months old dairy bulls were randomly assigned to receive four dietary treatments according to a 2×2 factorial arrangement in a 4×4 Latin square de...

The major threat for cassava cultivation on the Indian subcontinent is cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by cassava mosaic geminiviruses which are bipartite begomoviruses with DNA A and DNA B components. Indian cassava mosaic virus (ICMV) and Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV) cause CMD in India. Two isolates of SLCMV infected the cassava cultivar Sengutchi in the fields near Malappuram ...

IT has been suggested that the refinement of staple carbohydrate foods may be a major aetiological factor in accounting for the appearance and the rising incidence of duodenal ulcer, both in Western countries and in developing countries, during the present century (Cleave, 1962, 1974). Cleave postulated that this may be due to loss of buffer in the staple carbohydrates as a result of the remova...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of biodegradation on nutrient contents rice bran (RB), cassava residual pulp (CRP), saw dust (SD) and palm oil fibre (POF) by Penicilium sp. RB, CRP, SD POF were subjected solid state fermentation for 7 days process terminated oven drying at 700C 24hours. The fermented samples thoroughly mixed, dried stored in sterile bottles analyses. Results pr...

During two years, four samples per year were collected in Vietnam from rice bran, cassava residue, brewer's grain, tofu residue, soybean meal, coconut cake, sweet potato vines and water spinach for chemical analysis and assessment of water holding capacity (WHC). The selected feedstuffs represent fibre-rich plant sources and agro-industry co-products commonly used in pig feeding in Vietnam. The...
