Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Subacute Ruminal Acidosis on Milk Fatty Acid Profile in Dairy CattleC. Mitchell, O. ALZahal, M.M. Or-Rashid et al.The objective of this experiment was to examine the effect of Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) on milk fatty acid (FA) profiles with emphasis on odd-chain and branched-chain FA. Sixteen multiparous Holstein dairy cows (618±35 kg of body weight, 221±32 days in milk) were used in a randomized complete-block design. During week 1, all cows received a high-forage diet (90% chopped … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2016 · 7,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Herbage Production of Dwarf Napiergrass with Italian Ryegrass Cropping under Digested Effluent Application in Southern Kyushu, JapanHadijah Hasyim, Yasuyuki Ishii, Ahmad Wadi, Sachiko IdotaDigested effluent produced by a biogas-plant contains essential plant nutrients to solve the treated and disposal problems of livestock manure. Dwarf variety of late-heading type (dwarf) napiergrass as a perennial summer crop and intercropping of over-sown Italian ryegrass as an annual winter crop were applied to 3 levels of digested effluent in southern Kyushu from 2007 to 2009. Digested effluent … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 25 Feb 2016 · 7,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Inclusion of Albizia saman Pods in the Diet on the Performances of Dairy CowsMin Aung, Yin Yin Kyawt, Moe Thida Htun et al.Ruminants can achieve high productivity when the diet includes concentrates; however these are often expensive due to competition with humans and mono-gastric animals. This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of partial inclusion of Albizia saman pods (ASP) in a Commercial Concentrate (CC) on the performances of dairy cows. Twelve cross-bred Holstein Friesian cows (472±13 kg) in the 12th … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 29 Dec 2015 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfuence of Seed Coating with Micronutrients on Growth and Yield of Winter Wheat in Southeastern Coastal PlainsPawel WiatrakPolymer seed coating with micronutrients may provide important nutrients during plant growth and improve yields. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of three seed application rates (265, 395 and 530 mL 100 kg seeds-1) of polymer based mixture of Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn) micronutrients on dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) near Blackville, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 8,545 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Wheat-Chickpea Intercrops as Influenced by Nitrogen and Weed ManagementA. Abdulahi, A. Dabbagh Mohammadi Nassab, S. Nasrolahzadeh et al.Wheat and chickpea are most important crops in dryland farming areas of Iran. Weeds have major impact on chickpea grain yield. This experiment was carried out to increase land use efficiency and weed suppression through intercropping in dryland agricultural research station-Sararood, Kermanshah, Iran during 2008-10. The experimental design layout was factorial split plot based on randomized complete block design with … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Dec 2012 · 8,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on the Growth and Production of Vegetable CropsA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: MSW has traditionally been dealt with thorough the practice of land filling and incineration. However, deleterious environmental impacts have promoted municipalities in Canada to recycle non-putrescible wastes and compost the putrescible ones. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of MSW compost on the growth and production of three vegetable crops (potatoes, corn and squash). Approach: Each crop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine Manure for Bio-Oils ProductionShuangning Xiu, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang, Carlington W. WallaceProblem statement: Environmental problems associated with animal waste are the most critical challenges faced by the US intensive confinement livestock industries. There is an import and urgent need to develop an efficient way to reduce the pollution of animal waste while extracting valuable energy. Supercritical liquefaction processing of swine manure into a liquid fuel was considered as a cost-effective approach … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) in Pure and Mixed Cropping with Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to Determine the Best Combination of Legume and Cereal for Forage ProductionSeyedeh, Davood Habibi, Ali Kashani et al.Problem statement: Mixed cereal-legume cropping can supply valuable forage in dry areas, as well as improving soil characteristics to approach sustainable farming systems in these regions. Approach: In order to comprise quality and quantity of produced forage and to determine the best planting ratio in a hairy vetch and barley mix cropping, a two year study was conducted during 2008 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Potassium Levels on Antioxidant Enzymes and Malondialdehyde Content under Drought Stress in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)H. Soleimanzadeh, D. Habibi, M.R. Ardakani et al.Problem Statement: Drought stress as a major adverse factor can lower leaf water potential, leading to reduced turgor and some other responses and ultimately lower crop productivity in arid and semi arid zones. Sunflower is one of the main oil seed crops in Iran, where drought stress is the most limiting factor. Drought stress tolerance requires the activation of complex … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simulation Model Estimates of the Intercropping Advantage of an Immature-Rubber, Banana and Pineapple SystemMohamadu Boyie Jalloh, Wan Sulaiman Wan Harun, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: Intercropping has been shown to have many advantages but it is fallacious to conclude it is always a better cropping system. Little is known about a new double-hedgerow intercropping of rubber, banana and pineapple in relation to its effects on growth and yield of the component crops when compared to their monocrops. Simulation modeling offers a cheaper and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,005 accessesView PDFCite
