Effect of different levels of fluted pumpkin leaf (Telfairia occidentalis) in grower rabbit diets: Assessing growth parameters, haematological profiles, and serological responses
(2023-12-31)
The effect of fluted pumpkin leaf (FPL) on the growth performance, haematology, and serology of growing rabbits were examined. Seventy-five weaned rabbits of Dutch breed, with a mean weight of 513 g, and different sexes were allotted into 5 treatments with 3 replicates and each replicate housing five weaned rabbits. The five treatment diets were formulated to contain FPL at inclusion levels of 0 % (control), 30 %, 50 %, 70 % and 100 % in a completely randomized design. The animals were fed twice daily and given water ...

Quality of synbiotic yogurt drink based on beneng taro flour and honey pineapple juice
(2023-12-28)
Yogurt is one of the beverage products that people are interested in comes from fermented milk from bacteria generally Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophillus. Synbiotic yogurt is an innovative yogurt product derived from bacteria combine, breast milk, probiotics and prebiotics. The bacteria used in fermentation as probiotic bacteria are Lactobacillus acidhophilus. Prebiotics are types of carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the digestive system, one of which is found in taro flour. This research ...

The effect of wuluh starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) added on the physicochemical and antimicrobial characteristics of chitosan-pva edible film
(2023-12-28)
Edible film is an eco-friendly packaging innovation that can be a solution in dealing with the plastic waste problem. Apart from that, edible film is expected to have antimicrobial properties that can extend packaged food products' shelf life. Wuluh starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), a tropical plant from Southeast Asia that contains organic acid compounds, functions as an antimicrobial that can be added to edible films. This research aims to determine the effect od wuluh starfruit juice addition in making edible film ...

Hermetic technologies and grain quality of Phaseolus lunatus L. in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico
(2023-12-23)
In southern Mexico, postharvest losses of grains are an important constraint in achieving food security and conservation of biodiversity. This study was conducted under field conditions to investigate the effect of prolonged storage on the grain quality of lima beans. Grain damage, moisture content, seed germination, and culinary quality were evaluated during six months of storage in hermetic containers and traditional methods. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and differences between treatments separated ...

Evaluation of the breeding soundness test for Bonga sheep in the context of a community-based breeding programme in Ethiopia
(2023-12-29)
The aims of this study were to evaluate sire selection traits and semen characteristics for Bonga sheep. A total of 101 sires with different birth year from the Bonga sheep community based breeding programme (CBBP) were used to collect data. The data was analysed by using the GLM procedure of SAS and least square means was separated by using adjusted Tukey-Kramer method. The breeding soundness tests consisted of physical examinations, sire body condition score (BCS), scrotum circumference, estimated breeding value ...

Effect of grain size on the very high cycle fatigue behavior and notch sensitivity of titanium
(2019)
The very high-cycle fatigue performances of coarse-grained and ultrafine-grained titanium samples with different geometries at ambient temperature and various stress amplitudes were investigated. Severe plastic deformation improves monotonic strength of titanium at the cost of a loss in ductility. Ultrafine-grained titanium demonstrates a superior fatigue performance compared to that of coarse-grained counterparts in the high-cycle fatigue regime, however, suffers notch sensitivity. Furthermore, in the very high-cycle ...
