crudeprotein, etc ; Lupinus; agriculture; amino acid composition; consumer acceptance; tillage; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Lupins are an important source of domestic protein in many countries, and are often considered as an alternative to soybeans, given their elevated and high-quality protein content, suitability for sustainable production and consumer acceptability. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the variety (indeterminate and determinate) and tillage system (conventional—CT, reduced tillage— ...

Abstract:
... Reductions in dietary crude protein have potentially allowed for the occurrence of branched chain amino acid antagonism which can negatively influence live performance and carcass traits. Therefore, 2 factorial studies were conducted with the first experiment evaluating valine and leucine interactions during a 32 to 45 d finisher period, while the second experiment evaluated valine and isoleucine ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In China, breeders overlook changes in grain quality traits of starch, protein, and fat content that occur concurrently in normal maize (Zea mays L.). Here, we collected data for 436 single‐cross normal maize varieties released since the 1960s and 258 landraces from China's three main agroecological regions to investigate how grain quality traits have changed over time. ...
... This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of phytase supplementation in diets reduced in amino acids (AA), crude protein (CP), and phosphorus (P) on growth performance, carcass traits, and tibia ash of broiler chickens. A total of 2,240 unsexed Ross 308 broiler chickens were used in 56 floor pens with 40 birds each and fed one of eight dietary treatments in seven replicates until 35 ...
... It is important for the breeders to find how genetic differences may affect crop grain yield and nutrient uptake affected by micronutrient fertilization. Accordingly, with respect to our published research, the foliar application of the most deficient micronutrients (Fe, Zn and Mn) in the arid and semi-arid areas of the world affecting grain yield and nutrient concentration of maize parental lines ...

Abstract:
... Yellow peas are a high-protein pulse crop with many potential food applications. Air-classified protein products are gaining popularity for their conserved native functionality and environmental benefits. However, air-classification of yellow peas has a few challenges preventing products from entering food markets, including fiber contamination and off-flavors/smells. A commonly recognized source ...

Abstract:
... Spectroscopic techniques have been widely applied in agricultural applications. The development of calibration transfer is promising for the robust analysis of spectral data collected by varying instruments. The reliance on standard samples for standardization approaches remains a critical challenge for on-site applications. In this study, a deep learning approach, named DeepTranSpectra (DTS), is ...

Abstract:
... Access to feed for livestock during the cropping season is a constraint to the smallholder crop–livestock farming system in northern Ghana due to backyard farming. A two-year (2017–2018) study was conducted to determine the effect of leaf stripping on yield and feed quality in maize–livestock farming systems in the Northern, Upper East, and Upper West regions of Ghana. A factorial treatment combin ...

Abstract:
... Long-horned grasshopper (Ruspolia differens Serville) is a tasty delicacy in over 20 African countries. This study evaluated the impact of diverse post-harvest thermal treatment (blanching, boiling, toasting, and deep-frying) on the nutrients, total flavonoid content and sterols preservation of R. differens products. Crude protein, ash, and fibre of R. differens was drastically reduced by deep-fry ...
... The shelf life of meat products can be increased by adding synthetic antioxidants. These antioxidants have long been used, but their safety has recently come into dispute due to a suspected carcinogenic potential. This is why meat technologies ave extracted new natural antioxidants from spices and herbs, which are the best alternatives to synthetic compounds. So, the addition of natural flavors (e ...
