the effects of ensiling alhagi with waste date palm on rumen parameters and microbial protein synthesis in kermani sheep were investigated. 100 kg alhagi with 20 kg waste date palm were mixed and ensiled for 45 d. the experimental diets containing 0, 7, 14 and 21% alhagi with waste date palm silage. four male kermani rams were used in change over design with four 21-days period. ensiling alhagi...

the objective of present study was to determine the effects of β-mannanase-based enzyme (hemicell®) on productive performance and egg quality in diets containing graded levels of whole date waste (wdw) fed to laying hens. a total of 336 hy-line leghorn hens after production peak were randomly divided into 56 cages. eight iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous experimental diets in a 4 × 2 factorial ...

In this trial effects of feeding pistachio by-product silage with date waste (PBSD) on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and blood parameters of lambs were studied. Ensiling of pistachio by-products (PBP) with date waste increased dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME), but decreased the percentages of crude protein (CP), total tannins and phenolic compounds (P

the effect of feeding silage of leaf and stem of banana tree with waste date palm on feed intake, microbial protein synthesis and blood parameters using four adult rams in a change- over design with four 21-days period were examined. eighty five kg leaf and stem of banana tree with 15 kg of waste date palm were mixed together and ensiled for 45 days. chemical composition and sensory evaluation ...

introduction ensiling is less dependent to weather condition and farmers are trying to ensile forages for preserving them for livestock feeding. ensiling legumes because of their buffering capacity and high moisture content are difficult. also, ensiling alfalfa will lose up to %85 of its nitrogen content as non-protein nitrogen. adding some additives like carbohydrate sources will improve alfal...

As a green material, used date pits oil is increasingly utilized as inexpensive feedstock for ethyl ester (biodiesel) production. Waste date pits as a raw material are one of the highly produced agricultural wastes in Iran. This study investigated the effect of several procedure parameters including the ethanol/oil molar ratio, reaction temperature and amount of catalysts on the yield of the pr...

a solid state fermentation method was developed for the production of citric acid from date pulp (obtained of date syrup production from the process) by aspergillus niger ptcc 5010. poor yield was obtained when potassium ferrocyanide treated date pulp were used as substrate, but methanol at a 3-4% concentration markedly increased the forma-tion of citric acid from the waste. the optimum range o...

The expansion of oil palm cultivation in Indonesia has been driven by a strong world demand for food especially fats and oils. Commencing in the island of Sumatra, it spread out to other island like Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Irian but not to the island of Bali which was already well developed. The role of palm oil in developing remote inland regions and improving the standard of living of rural ...
