Anaerobic fungi were isolated from both the rumen and faeces of nine sheep and a cow. A reliable and simple method for the isolation of anaerobic fungi using 24 h rumen incubated milled straw as the inoculum source was developed. We also evaluate the use of chitin measurements as an assay of rumen fungal biomass. Chitin levels were determined from various sample sources (milled barley straw use...

Aim of study: The production efficiency crop rotations was evaluated based on the yield main (cereal grains and pea seeds) by-product (straw) converted per cereal units (CU), total protein yield.
 Area South-eastern Poland, Europe (2017-2019).
 Material methods: first order experimental factor included rotations: A): peas–durum wheat–spring barley; B): spring wheat–durum barley +oats;...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of reaction temperature and wheat straw moisture content on the pyrolysis product yields, in the temperature range of 475-575 °C. Samples of straw with moisture contents from 1.5 wt % to 15.0 wt % were fed to a bench scale Pyrolysis Centrifuge Reactor (PCR). The experimental results show that the changes in straw moisture content have no si...

To investigate the production of cellulases from Aspergillus heteromorphus, submerged fermentation was performed using wheat straw as substrate. Optimization of saccharification conditions like pH, temperature and time were studied. Highest reducing sugar was released on 5 day at 5 pH, 30 C temperature. When A. heteromorphous was grown on wheat straw in submerged fermentation after 5 days incub...

Advanced biofuels can reduce fossil fuel use and the number of harmful compounds released during combustion, by reducing fuels. Lignocellulosic materials, especially waste biomass, are suitable substrates for production advanced biofuels. Among most expensive steps in ethanol is enzyme-based hydrolysis. Using microorganisms these costs. This study investigated effectiveness hydrolyzing three li...

Barley can be contaminated with a wide range of fungal secondary metabolites, including various mycotoxins that reduce the quality and safety raw materials as well cause economic losses. A survey was conducted for crop seasons 2016 2017 to analyse mycotoxins, in grain straw samples barley, which originated from fields across Switzerland. In total, 253 237 were analysed by LC-MS/MS detecting 87 ...

introduction integrated nutrient management involving crop residue/green manures and chemical fertilizer is potential alternative to provide a balanced supply of nutrients, enhance soil quality and thereby sustain higher productivity. the present experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different crop residue management practices and npk levels on yield components and yield of wheat....

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of camelthorn (alhagi sp.) as a foraghe in the diet of balouchi sheep (during the last two months of gestation and two months of lactation) where 72 ewes in a completely randomized design with three treatments (diets) and four replications were used. experimental diets were : 1) wheat straw 50%, alfalfa hay 30% and barley grain 20%, as contro...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of small-grain cereals that causes significant yield losses and mycotoxin contamination, diminishing food feed safety worldwide. In contrast to wheat, little known about the agricultural practices influence FHB mycotoxins in barley. Thus, nationwide survey was conducted across Switzerland for harvest samples 2016 2017, accompanied with ...
