MacDonaldThe poultry industry is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors of livestock production in the world. The estimated 2010 world flock was over 18 billion birds with a yearly manure output of 22 million tonnes. Storage and disposal of raw poultry manure have become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution. Environmental and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Jul 2012 · 12,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysico-Chemical Characteristics of Date Seed Oil Grown in SudanRehab Salih Mahmoud Abdalla, Alsheikh AlGilani Albasheer, Abdel Rahim Mohamed ELHussein, ELrasheed Ahmed GadkariemProblem statement: Studies were conducted on the physical-chemical properties of Sudanese date seed oil extracted from two date palm cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.) ALBarakawi and Alqundeila. The extracted oil from ALBarakawi seeds weighed 6.833% w/w oil, Alqundeila oil extracted weighed 5.064% w/w. Approach: The physical properties of ALBarakawi oil were: viscosity: 17cp, refractive Index: 1.444, density: 0.9116 g cm-3 color: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 5 May 2012 · 9,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocalization of the Dissimilatory Arsenate Reductase in Sulfurospirillum Barnesii Strain SeS-3Eman AfkarProblem statement: Sulfurospirillim barnesii strain SeS-3 is one of the recently known bacterial isolates that can obtain energy to support growth by respiring the toxic oxyanions of arsenic and selenium under anaerobic conditions. Approach: The ultimate goal of this investigation is to localize the active sites for the reduction of arsenate arsenite as well as selenate selenite in S. barnesii … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Antioxidants Supplement on Lipid Peroxidation and Serum Aryl Esterase Enzyme in Rheumatoid Arthritis PatientsMahsa Jalili, Seyed-Rafi Aref-Hosseini, Sousan Kolahi et al.Problem statement: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is one of the common autoimmune diseases with unknown etiology that its prevalence ratio in females to males is 3:1. It has been suggested that serum antioxidant levels is reduced and lipid peroxidation is increased due to oxidative stress. According to a recent research, antioxidant supplements may play an important role in controlling oxidative stress. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 2 Dec 2011 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Low-Temperature Technology of Producing Calcium Feed Phosphate with MicroelementsJózef HoffmannThe possibility of producing feed calcium phosphates in a way ensuring a low physical water content in the product was investigated in laboratory conditions. For this purpose the process use of a phosphoric acid solution with a higher (than in conventional methods) P2O5 content (53-63% by wt. P2O5) with CaO (molar fraction of 0.5-0.8) and CaCO3 in the phosphoric acid … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Humic Preparations on the Content of Trace Elements in Hens' EggsZbigniew Dobrzanski, Henryk Gorecki, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.Mineral-humic preparations Humokarbowit (HKW) and Humobentofet (HBF) were used in feeding of reproductive laying hens Lohmann Brown. The effect of these preparations on microelement composition of eggs was investigated. The content of microelements in hens diet, egg albumen and eggshell was determined by ICP-MS technique and relative bioaccumulation coefficient (RBC) was evaluated. The humic preparations significantly increased selenium and decreased … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,201 accessesView PDFCite
