the current study evaluated the effects of electron beam (eb; 10, 20, 30 and 40 kgy), urea and naoh treatments on chemical composition, phenolic compounds, in vitro gas production and in situ ruminal degradability of pistachio by-product (pb). the eb decreased (p < 0.01) neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergent fiber (adf) and acid detergent lignin (adl) contents of pb. treating pb by naoh...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tannic acid (ta) and pistachio by-product tannin extract (pbe) on n utilization and efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (emns) in saanen dairy goats. the experimental design was a change over design with three treatments and three periods using six mid lactation multiparous dairy goats. tannic acid solution and pbe were added to fresh ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of processing protein meals by tannin extracted from pistachio by-product on apparent total tract digestibility, ruminal fermentation and performance of dairy cows. for tannin extraction, one kilogram of sun-dried pistachio by-products was immersed in four liters of water for 48 h. then, pistachio by-products were removed from the water and ...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of treated protein supplements with tannin extracted from pistachio by-product (p-pb) on in vitro gas production using fistulated sheep. one portion of p-pb was mixed with four portions of water for 48 h. the extracted product was sprayed on soybean meal (sbm) or canola meal (cm) with an equal ratio (1:1 v/w) and dried in the shade. the expe...

Doster, M. A., Cotty, P. J., and Michailides, T. J. 2014. Evaluation of the atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus strain AF36 in pistachio orchards. Plant Dis. 98:948-956. The atoxigenic strain Aspergillus flavus AF36, which has been extensively used as a biocontrol agent in commercial corn and cotton fields to reduce aflatoxin contamination, was applied in research pistachio orchards from 2002 to 2005...

to study the chemical composition and qualitative comparison of the pistachio by-products and the effect of pistachio hull tannin on its digestibility and gas production, four experiments were carried out. in the first experiment, nutrient composition, phenolic and tannin components of the ohadi, kaleghuchi and white varieties of pistachio by-product from dehulling process were measured. pistac...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.; Anacardiaceae) is native of aride zones of Central and West Asia and distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin. In Italy, a pistachio cultivar of high quality is typical of Bronte (Sicily), an area around the Etna volcano, where the lava land and climate allow the production of a nut with intense green colour and aromatic taste, very appreciated in internationa...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of adding different levels of molasses (1-5%) on the silage quality, in vitro methane production and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of pistachio (Pistachio vera) by-product and wheat straw mixture silages. For this purpose, silages were prepared with pistachio by-product (85%) and wheat straw (15%) without molasses (contr...
