effects of condensed tannins (ct) on crude protein availability in sainfoin hay was investigated according to most popular ruminant feeding systems. different treatments including polyethylene glycol (6000 mw), sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium permanganate, wood ash, water and urea, were applied for deactivation of ct crude protein fractioning was determined using nylon bag techn...

an experiment was conducted to predict the true metabolizable energy (tmen) of compounded starter feeds of broiler chickens trough their chemical composition using precision-feeding method of sibbald in male boilers. in the first, eight compounded feed samples provided from eight feed plants and their chemical composition determined in laboratory. results of chemical composition showed that ave...

The action of a crude potato-tuber extract on 9- and 13-hydroperoxides of linoleic and linolenic acids was investigated. HPLC analysis revealed that 50% of the 9-hydroperoxide isomers and almost all the 13-hydroperoxide isomers were rapidly enzymically metabolized. No degradation of fatty acid hydroperoxides was observed with a thermally denatured enzymic extract. GC-MS identification of the vo...

) leaves meal in rations on nutrient digestibility, hematological status and malondialdehyde levels broiler chicken blood. The study was conducted experimentally with a completely randomized design, which consisted of 5 treatments replications. treatment the use combination cassava tuber indigofera (70%+30%; CCI) ration, namely: T0 (0% CCI ration), T1 (5% T2 (10% T3 (15% ration) T4 (20% ration)...

When Pleurotus tuber-regium was cultivated on cotton waste, rice straw, cocoyam peels and sawdusts of Mansonia altissima, Boscia angustifolia and Khaya ivorensis, the highest crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrate contents in sporophores were 29.4 (M. altissima) , 1.4 (rice straw) and 61.3% (cocoyam peels), respectively. Sporophores produced on rice straw had the greatest energy value and th...

Data are presented on three edible species of tuber (<igna frutescens, Eminia entennulifa, and Ipomoea transvaalensis) consumed by Hadza foragers in northern Tanzania. These species are collected almost year-round by Hadza women but previous analyses of their macronutrient composition are variable and provide results based on the analysis of whole tuber. We examined only edible portions of tube...

Hexokinase (HXK) proteins play important roles in catalyzing hexose phosphorylation and sugar sensing and signaling. To investigate the roles of HXKs in cassava tuber root development, seven HXK genes (MeHXK1-7) were isolated and analyzed. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that the MeHXK family can be divided into five subfamilies of plant HXKs. MeHXKs were clearly divided into type A (MeHXK1) a...
