Cinética ruminal de dietas contendo farelo de mamona destoxificado

The kinetics of gas production and in vitro ruminal degradation of diets contained replacement of soybean meal (SBM) by detoxicated castorbean meal (DCBM) (0, 15, 30 and 45% of substitution) were evaluated in this study. Values of gas production of non-fibrous carbohydrates (Vf1), fibrous carbohydrates (...

Chemical composition and fermentation characteristics of sugar cane silage enriched with detoxified castor bean meal

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of detoxified castor bean meal (CM) content on the chemical-bromatological composition, as well as the fermentation characteristics and dry matter losses of sugarcane silage. The treatments consisted of four levels (0, 7, 14 and 21% na...

Screening the antifungal activity of essential oils against decay fungi from palmyrah leaf handicrafts

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: The whitish tender leaves of Palmyrah are used for making handicrafts. The problem with these articles is discolouration with time and become more brittle due to fungal attack.
