Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Total Solid Contents on Biogas Yield from Cattle Manure Using Rumen Fluid InoculumBudiyono, I. N. Widiasa, S. Johari, SunarsoProblem statement: Anaerobic digestion was a biological method used to convert organic wastes into biogas and a stable product for land application without adverse environmental effects. The biogas produced could be used as an alternative renewable energy source. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of total solid contents on biogas yield from cattle manure using fluid … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 12,107 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 abstractExtraction of Protein from Common Plant Leaves for Use as Human FoodA.E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Protein deficiency is one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world. The most disastrous consequences occur in children where protein malnutrition manifests itself in forms of two notorious diseases: Marasmus and kwashiorkor. Expansion of present agricultural practices into marginal lands is expected to solve this chronic protein shortage. The process of photosynthesis is the only non … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 12,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional Value of the Maize Stalk Borer and American Bollworm as Unconventional Protein SourcesA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: The maize stalk borer and American bollworm were grown in an artificial media to evaluate their potential as human food sources. Approach: Both cultures were started from moths and the life cycle and culture structures were evaluated. Results: The larvae of both insects reached maximum weight and maximum length at the same time. The growth rate of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Insects as Human Food in ZambiaA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The life cycle and culture structure of two commonly eaten worms in Zambia (Isoberlinia paniculata and Miombo/Mopani) were evaluated. The worms were grown on an artificial medium to evaluate the potential of producing them on a commercial scale. Approach: An interesting characteristic of the worms studied was that they reached their maximum weight and maximum length at the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,707 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Black Cutworm as a Potential Human FoodA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The black cutworms (Agrotis ipsilon) were grown in an artificial medium to evaluate their potential as a human food. Approach: The culture was started from moths and the life cycle and culture structure were evaluated. There was an initial adjustment period of 3 days during which the growth of the larvae was very slow. The size of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of L-Leucine Supplementation on Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Grower-Broiler Chickens Fed Low Protein DietsE. Erwan, A. R. Alimon, A. Q. Sazili et al.Problem statement: Supplementation of broiler diets with cristalline amino acids (i.e. lysine, ethionine and threonine) may support equal broiler growth and improve overall amino acids balance and enable a reduction in CP level of diets. Approach: A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental L-leucine in diets containing recommended levels and low crude protein (20 and 18%, respectively) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Yellow Mealworm as a Novel Source of ProteinA. E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Yellow mealworms of different sizes (4.8-182.7 mg) were grown in a medium of wheat flour and brewer’s yeast (95:5 by weight) to evaluate their potential as a protein source. Approach: There was an initial adjustment period (3-9 days) observed during which the younger larvae (4.8-61.1 mg) grew slowly while the older ones (80.3-182.7 mg) lost weight. After this … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 20,880 accessesView PDFCite
