Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect 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 · 7,585 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Replacement of Soybean meal by Dried Tomato Pomace on Rumen Fermentation and Nitrogen Metabolism in Beef CattleC. Yuangklang, K. Vasupen, S. Wongsuthavas et al.Problem statement: Dried tomato pomace may be considered as an alternative feedstuff in ruminant nutrition. The limited literature data that are available so far may be interpreted as indirect and suggestive evidence for diminished ruminal fermentation and bacterial synthesis after substitution of dried tomato pomace for soybean meal. Approach: Rumen-fistulated beef steers were used to address the questions whether the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,867 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Effects of Biomass Carbon Modified Bioretention Pond Fill Layer in Sponge City GardensWen Cao, Beibei ZuWith the expansion of urban green areas, the resulting increase in green waste has become the second-largest solid waste in the city. Green waste contains a lot of minerals and the recycling of its resources has become the urgent task of urban green development. Biochar technology is more in line with the concept of green environmental protection in Sponge City. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 10 Jul 2024 · 4,471 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction of Polysaccharides from Waste Corn Bract: Process Optimization, Characterization, Antioxidant and Anti-Diabetic PotentialsYihui Liu, Yayi Li, Na Niu et al.Corn bract is the main agricultural waste of corn production and processing. Little information is focused on its value-added utilization. In the present study, the Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction (UAEE) was used for the first time to extract Corn Bract Polysaccharides (CBPs). The optimum conditions of UAEE for CBPs extraction were: Cellulase amount of 0.7%, enzymolysis for 58 min, and ultrasound … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2022 · 6,126 accessesView PDF Cite

Charcoal sorbent is the original preparation produced in “Khiminvest” Science and Technology Center. Activated charcoal supplement was added to the basic diet of experimental animals in an amount of 1 g per 10 kg of live weight. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2017 · 7,978 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Photoheterotrophic Hydrogen Production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides KCTC 1434 using Volatile Fatty Acids under Argon and Nitrogen HeadspaceRuby Lynn G. Ventura, Jey-R S. Ventura, Young-Sook OhIn this study, the photo fermentative H2 production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides KCTC 1434 was investigated using acetate, propionate and butyrate under argon and nitrogen headspace gases. The highest H2 yield and Substrate Conversion Efficiency (SCE) were observed from butyrate (8.84 mol H2/mol butyrate consumed, 88.42% SCE) and propionate (6.10 mol H2/mol propionate consumed, 87.16% SCE) under Ar headspace. Utilization of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 30 Nov 2016 · 9,058 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnaerobic Transformation of Biodegradable Waste; Simultaneous Production of Energy and FertilizerAmirhossein Malakahmad, Syazana Nasrudin, Noor Ezlin Ahmad Basri, Shahrom Md ZainAlmost 40% of the total waste produced in developing countries is made of biodegradable waste. Typically the waste including the biodegradable portion is transported to the so-called landfills without any segregation process, treatment and utilization in advance. Although mitigation practices such as source reduction, reuse and recycle are essential and required to be practiced in any integrated waste management plan, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 10 Mar 2013 · 7,376 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Dietary Curcumin on Rumen Fermentation, Macronutrient Digestion and Nitrogen Balance in Beef CattleT. Vorlaphim, M. Phonvisay, J. Khotsakdee et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Previous studies have shown that curcumin has antibacterial activity. It was hypothesized that the feeding of curcumin to ruminants may disturb rumen function and affect macronutrient digestibility and nitrogen utilization. Approach: In an experiment with Latin-square design, beef cattle were fed rations consisting of urea-treated rice straw and concentrates without or with 0.1 or 0.2% added curcumin. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Jul 2011 · 9,152 accessesView PDF Cite
