Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgronomic and Economic Parameter Estimates of Cocoyam as Influenced by Fertilizer and EnvironmentPrince Emmanuel Norman, Yvonne Sylvia Gloria Ethel Norman, Jenneh Fatima BebeleyThe effects of fertilizer and environment on agronomic traits and economic parameters in cocoyam were assessed at the Njala Agricultural Research Centre experimental site during the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 cropping seasons. The fertilizer types used were 200 kg ha–1 NPK 15-15-15, 2000 kg ha–1 Rabbit Manure (RM), and no fertilizer (control). The trial was established in the open field and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2022 · 6,055 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Bedding Application in Feedlot Cattle: A ReviewDathan Thomas Smerchek, Zachary Kidd Foster SmithA sizable portion of cattle on feed in the United States are fed in the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains region where temperatures routinely fall below freezing during late fall, winter and early spring. The persistent cold temperatures coupled with snow accumulation, wind, moisture and ice can cause undesirable pen conditions for confined cattle, ultimately resulting in decreased insulative capacity … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2021 · 6,721 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Bio-based Polyurethane PolymersJahangir Emrani, Ramazan Benrashid, Shahrzad Mohtarami et al.This paper describes the development of new biobased Polyurethanes (PU) starting from swine manure bio-resin and diisocyanates. The bio-resin is produced from swine manure via a hydrothermal process. For sustainability, today, many PUs in new specialized applications, are biobased. In this study, different commercial diisocyanates including MDI, Desmodur W, Desmodur H and Demodur I and swine manure, which is an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2018 · 8,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional Evaluation and Effectiveness of Detoxified Jatropha curcas Kernel Meal in Finishing Pig Diets on Biogas and Methane Production from SlurryBernardo Berenchtein, Adibe Luiz Abdalla, Patricia Pimentel Santos Righetto et al.The purpose of this work was to evaluate Phorbol Ester’s (PE), Total Fenols (TF), Total Tannins (TT), Condensed Tannins (CT), Saponins Content (SPN), amino acids profiles and apparent digestibility of detoxicated Jatropha curcas meal in finishing pigs diets, as well as biogas and methane production by the manure from cross-bred pigs fed this meal. Apparent digestibility coefficients of Dry Matter … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2016 · 7,640 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKINETIC MODELLING OF CONTINUOUS-MIX ANAEROBIC REACTORS OPERATING UNDER DIURNALLY CYCLIC TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTE. A. Echiegu, A. E. GhalyA two-culture dynamic model which incorporated the effects of diurnally cyclic temperature was developed and used to predict the dynamic response of anaerobic reactors operated on dairy manure under two diurnally cyclic temperature ranges of 20-40°C and 15-25°C which represent the summer and winter in Nigeria. The digesters were operated at various hydraulic retention times and solid concentrations and some … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 29 Aug 2014 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiofilter Treating Ammonia Gas Using Agricultural Residues MediaThaniya Kaosol, Nutthawut PongpatProblem statement: Agricultural residues such as manure and sugarcane bagasse are wastes from agro-industry which has low value and requires some sustainable waste management method. In this research, a mixture of manure fertilizer and sugarcane bagasse is used as a biofilter media for an ammonia gas removal application. The aim of this research is to study the ammonia gas removal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFarmers' Use of Integrated Soil Fertility and Nutrient Management Practices for Sustainable Crop Production: A Field-level Study in BangladeshM. Golam Farouque, Hiroyuki TekeyaProblem statement: The most pressing problem for Bangladesh agriculture is the current state of gradual decreasing of soil fertility, stagnating crop yields and declining productivity in a range of food crops. According to crop production scientists, Integrated Soil Fertility (ISF) and Nutrient Management (NM) is an advanced approach that can serve as a remedy to improve crop yields and to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResidual Influence of Early Season Crop Fertilization and Cropping System on Growth and Yield of CassavaE. A. Makinde, O. T. AyoolaProblem Statement: In assessing fertilizer effects to sustain an intensive cropping system, the residual effects of fertilizer applied to preceding maize on the growth and yield of cassava and the effects of intercropping with soybean were studied in field experiments at Ibadan, Nigeria. Approach: Maize, established in April was fertilized using either organic manure or inorganic fertilizer or a mixture … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Efficacy of a Bio-Based Modifier to Improve the Rheological Properties of Recycled Asphalt ShinglesMohammed Jawad, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis study investigates the use of Bio-Binder, derived from swine manure, as an additive to improve rheological properties of bitumen extracted from recycled asphalt shingles. Test results show that adding Bio-Binder to Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) leads to reduced viscosity, modulus shear complex G*, relaxation time RT and segregation. Results illustrated that the derived Bio-Binder additive can remove the negative … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2017 · 7,152 accessesView PDFCite
