Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of Microbial Inoculants and the Impact of Soil Application on Rice Seedlings GrowthHayyan Ismaeil Al-Taweil, Mohammad Bin Osman, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YussofProblem statement: The present study was undertaken to assess the Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) as carrier of Biofertilizer and microbial inoculants interaction. A study in Malaysia had shown a strain of Trichoderma viride and Bacillus megaterium were isolated from the soil. Questions were raised whether the tow inoculants compatible to be mixed in same carrier? It is important to develop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,717 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Different Sanitizers on Microbial, Sensory and Nutritional Quality of Fresh-Cut Jalapeno PeppersSaul Ruiz-Cruz, Emilio Alvarez-Parrilla, Laura A. de la Rosa et al.Problem statement: Sanitation is a critical step to insure safety of fresh-cut produce. The inadequacies of chlorine, currently used as a sanitizer, have stimulated interest in finding safer, more effective sanitizers, however little is known on the impact of these novel sanitizers on sensory and nutrimental quality of the treated products. Approach: The effect of four sanitizers: Sodium hypochlorite (OCl), … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,124 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Autolyzed Yeast Supplementation on Productive Performance Meat Quality Visceral Organ and Cecum Bacteria of Broiler ChickensSirinapa Taechanan, Kanokporn Poungpong et al.We assessed the effects of dietary Autolyzed Yeast (AY; Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on the performance, meat quality, visceral organ weights, and cecum bacteria of broiler chickens. We utilized a total of 360 one-day-old male Ross308 chicks. We allocated the chicks to four different dietary treatments, each consisting of six duplicates. Each replica consisted of 15 chicks per pen. The study included … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2024 · 5,086 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCellulolytic Enzymes Production by Solid State Culture Using Pecan Nut Shell as Substrate and SupportMiguel A. Medina-Morales, José L. Martínez-Hernández, Heliodoro de la Garza, Cristóbal Noé AguilarProblem Statement: Great interest in the use of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing in order to diminish the accumulation of residues, such as pecan nut shells. One of the alternatives is the fungal degradation of these residues. Approach: The capacity of Trichoderma (coded as T1, T2 and T3) strains to produce cellulase and xylonite was evaluated. Results: Pecan nut shell fibers … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,023 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKinetic Models for Anaerobic Fermentation Processes-A ReviewEmmanuel Amagu EchieguA review of basic kinetic models describing the generation of biomass and utilization of substrates in anaerobic fermentation processes is presented as well as the stoichiometric and empirical models for the prediction of biogas production.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLippia multiflora (Verbenacae, Mold.) Leaves Dietary Supplementation Effect on Broiler Chickens’ Growth, Hematological Parameters, and Serum BiochemistryKelemin Awa Koné, Tagouèlbè Tiho, Yapo Magloire Yapi, Vama Etienne TiaThe continued overuse of synthetic antibiotics has led to microbial resistance, responsible for numerous therapeutic failures in both animal and human health. This resistance has prompted the search for natural alternatives to the use of synthetic antibiotics in the poultry sector. The essay evaluated Lippia multiflora (Lm) leaves’ effects on chickens’ growth, health, and fatty acid profile. The rearing lasted … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2026 · 429 accessesView PDF Cite
