European Union bioeconomy policy emphasizes that the production of renewable transportation fuels should replace fossil as much possible. In particular, utilization waste or side-stream lignocellulosic materials for fuel is highly recommended. Moreover, future crises forcing a reliance on locally available sources and energy may become increasingly common. Barley straw, common agricultural resi...

Using ileal digestible amino acids in feed optimising will intensify feed protein utilizing and decrease nitrogen excretion to the environment. The study determined the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) coefficients of amino acids in barley, wheat, oats, triticale, maize, and dehulled oats in the diets of 180 Ross broiler chickens (aged 24–35 days). The birds were fed semi-purified diets that ...

Thirty three re-wetting tests were conducted at different combinations of temperatures (5.746.3C) and relative humidites (48.2-88.6%) with barley. Two most commonly used thinlayer drying and rewetting models i.e. Page and Diffusion were compared for their ability to the fit the experimental re-wetting data based on the standard error of estimate (SEE) of the measured and simulated moisture cont...

Environmentally safe ways are sought to prevent the accumulation and accelerate degradation of herbicide active substances in agricultural soil. This study aimed determine effectiveness finely-ground barley straw bentonite mitigating effects soil contamination with Successor T 550 SE. was applied following doses: 0, 0.73, 14.63 mg substance per kg. The spring were used at 10 g/kg. action these ...

In Ethiopia, barley selection has focused on grain yield traits. Limited information is available straw and its nutritive value. The aim of this study was to screen cultivars for value using forty food malt types at two locations in Ethiopia (Bekoji Kofele) 2018. Food-fodder quality traits investigated were crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) metabolizable energy (ME) straw. Locat...

Interest in recovering and valorizing agricultural biomass residues has increased in recent years in response to emerging economic opportunities and the potential for more sustainable use of renewable and nonrenewable resources. Agricultural crop residues are a major source of lignocellulose, with considerable potential for use as a renewable resource and lignin’s polyphenolic structure makes i...

Commercial mushroom production is based on composted locally available agro-industrial wastes rich in carbon and nitrogen such as wheat straw supplemented with chicken manure. Either component can be replaced by other kinds of grain straw: barley, oat, or a mixture different types combined diary manure—food waste digestate after anaerobic biogas digestion. Original, unseparated liquid nutritiou...

1. Two groups of four 18-month-old ewes fitted with a rumen cannula and re-entrant cannulas in the proximal duodenum were fed on one of two diets based on varying proportions of dried-grass meal, ground straw and barley. 2. The apparent availability, retention and amount of the mineral reaching the proximal duodenum were measured for calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper and zinc. Significant ...

Wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, and millet are all considered small grains. These small grains are carbohydrate and vitamin rich and have become food staples for humans and animals worldwide. Small grains have been cultivated by man for thousands of years and through selective breeding, they have become one of the most productive crops grown by man. Small grains have been adapted to grow in nea...
