Price dispersion and domestic banana market response in the Philippines
(2024)
This study investigated the vertical price transmission of banana in the domestic market of the Philippines. Banana, as one of the governments’ priority crops under the Department of Agriculture’s ‘High-value Crops Development Program’, has given priority to sustainability and global competitiveness. However, the domestic banana market consists of several marketing channels. Such complex characteristics of marketing channels can negatively affect market efficiency. In addition to such issues within a banana market, ...

Effect of substituting concentrate mix with Cajanus cajan leaf on growth performance traits and carcass components of yearling rams and its potential in mitigating methane production
(2024-07-07)
The main challenges in ruminant production are to reduce feeding costs and to improve product quality while minimising environmental impact. The use of unconventional feedstuffs may contribute to decrease feeding costs and environmental impact. A study was conducted to investigate the supplementation effect of Cajanus cajan leaves (CCL) on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of yearling rams and its association with methane (CH₄) reduction in vitro. Thirty yearling rams with an initial body weight of ...

Effects of biochar application on anaerobic digestion processes
(2024)
The use of biochar as an additive in anaerobic digestion (AD) is a potential pathway to enhance AD while promoting biomass-to-biochar value chain within a circular bioeconomy. Biochar, a novel biomaterial, serves for managing residual biomass following the cascading use principle, prioritizing material use over sole energy generation. AD, as a well-established method for biogas production and organic substance management, plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Therefore, this thesis investigated the ...

Investigating the effects of dietary supplementation with Moringa leaf powder and vitamin C in aflatoxin B1-exposed broilers
(2024-07-15)
This study investigates the use of Moringa Leaf Powder (MLP) and Vitamin C in the diets of broiler chickens exposed to Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to enhance performance and health. Two hundred one-day old Cobb 500 broiler breed chicks were divided into four diet groups: CON (no AFB1, no MLP), AFB (0.2 mg AFB1 per kg of feed), AFV (0.2 mg AFB1 with 200 mg vitamin C), and AFM (0.2 mg AFB1 with 500 mg MLP). Supplementation with MLP and vitamin C led to improved broiler performance, with AFM and AFV groups exhibiting higher ...
