The effect of sulphate of ammonia a d superphosphate on the crude protein and moisture content of burnt, cut, and unburnt serrated tussock, (Nassella trichotoma (Nees.) Hack.), has been noted. Superphosphate, either alone or with sulphate of ammonia, had no effect. Sulphate of ammonia, significantly increased the moisture content and crude protein content of the weed, and cattle selectively grazed areas treated with higher rates.

Rinds from home-produced and Dominion Cheddar cheese contain from 15 to 20 % of moisture, but those from unripe cheese contain up to 27 %. Salt tends to diffuse into the interior of cheese while the rind is slowly drying, but the rate of diffusion is not quantitatively proportional to the moisture content, although closely approached in cheese requiring a long period of ripening.There is an appreciable loss of fat from the rind through absorption by the bandage. The fat has a high acid value and carries the characteristic taste of the rind.Rinds have a higher crude protein content than the interior of cheese; the extent of protein breakdown is less but can be correlated with that in the interior of the cheese.Rinds contain higher calcium and phosphorus contents in the dry matter and a higher Ca/P ratio than the interior of cheese.The fibre content of rinds is negligible. The content can be gauged from a visual inspection of a sample for portions of bandage.

The study aims at determining the physicochemical, proximate composition and the total viable count of Staphylococcus aureus in ‘Nono’ and yoghurt samples in Kaduna, Nigeria.Three hundred and eighty-four (384) fermented milk samples (Nono and yoghurt) were obtained from different selling points and were evaluated for the occurrence of S. aureus. The physicochemical and proximate analyses (pH, total titratable acidity, moisture content, ash content, protein content, and fat content) were determined. The results of the analyses showed that Nono had pH range of 3.56-3.61, total titratable acidity: 0.71-1.72, moisture content: 82.23-83.87%, ash content: 0.30-0.31%, crude protein content: 1.50-1.61%, crude fat content: 0.35-0.38 %. For yoghurt, the pH ranged from 3.76 -3.82, total titratable acidity: 1.10 -1.15, moisture content: 77.76-80.06%, ash content: 0.68- 0.70%, crude protein content: 3.40-3.45% and crude fat content: 1.76-1.79% from all the study areas. One hundred and four of the total samples were contaminated with S. aureus. Out of the 104 isolates of S. aureus that were isolated and identified, 88 were coagulase positive S.aureus. The Microgen Staph ID kit (Oxoid) was used to further confirm the characteristics of the 60 isolates of the coagulase positive S. aureus. The kit confirmed 43 isolates as S. aureus, the results indicated the presence of S. aureus in the milk samples which is of public health importance, as this can contribute to food-borne intoxication which can lead to food poisoning. There is a need for proper pasteurisation of raw milk to help eradicate S. aureus infection before human consumption.

In the present study effect of processing treatments viz. blanching and germination on the proximate composition of Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet) was studied. Proximate composition was analysed by the standard methods determined according to Association of Official Analytical Chemists. Results indicated that moisture content increased significantly after processing treatments. Blanching resulted in non significant increase in ash content of pearl millet grains. The crude protein content of unprocessed pearl millet was 11.55%. The crude protein content of blanched pearl millet grains was 11.27%. Crude protein content of germinated grains was found to be 12.38% as in comparison to 11.55% in unprocessed and 11.27 in blanching treatment. Crude fat content of unprocessed (control), blanched and germinated pearl millet grains were 5.36, 5.09 and 4.55%, respectively. Fiber content increased significantly after blanching and germination processing treatments. Processing treatments not only effect the nutritional composition of pearl millet but also contribute towards enhancement of shelf life.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation of Garcinia xanthochymus extract in drinking water on the quail meat and eggs quality (fat content, protein content) and malondialdehyde (MDA) on egg yolk. This study used female quails (132 tails) aged 42 days, which were kept for 6 weeks, and then  divided into four groups treatments of drinking water, and 3 replications  each treatment.  The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with P0 (control), P1 (pH 4), P2 (pH 3), P3 (pH 2). The variables observed were moisture content, crude fat content and crude protein content in quail meat and eggs but MDA only on yolk  eggs. The results showed a significantly  decreased (p<0.05) effect of Garcinia xanthochymus extract supplementation in drinking water on MDA levels of yolk quail eggs.  However  it had no significant effect  on moisture content, crude  fat content, and crude protein content in yolk quail eggs .  The treatments had significantly increased crude protein in meat. It  was concluded that giving extract of Garcinia Xanthochymus extract (kandis acid)  at pH 2 in drinking water decreased the MDA content  of quail egg yolks. Key words:        antioxidant,  Garcinia Xanthochymus, chemical compound of meat and egg, egg yolk MDA

Harvesting Method

The harvest practice of combining spring wheat at a kernel-moisture content of 35% followed by drying with heated air did not adversely affect 1000-kernel weight or crude protein content. Germination and the assimilation of total phosphorus in the kernel were suppressed by this harvesting method when the kernel-moisture was more than 20%.

Mischkolz, J. M., Schellenberg, M. P. and Lamb, E. G. 2013. Early productivity and crude protein content of establishing forage swards composed of combinations of native grass and legume species in mixed-grassland ecoregions. Can. J. Plant Sci. 93: 445–454. We evaluated the early establishment productivity of forage swards of native, perennial, cool and warm season grasses, and legumes as they have the potential to provide non-invasive, productive, and drought resistant rangelands. Seven species with agronomic potential and a broad native geographic distribution were selected for testing including: nodding brome [Bromus anomalus (Coult.)], blue bunch wheatgrass [Pseudoregneria spicata (Pursh)], western wheatgrass [Pascopyrum smithii (Rydb.)], side oats grama [Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.)], little blue stem [Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.)], purple prairie clover [Dalea purpurea (Vent.)], and white prairie clover [Dalea candida (Willd.)]. Forage swards, including all seven monocultures, 21 two-species mixtures and a mixture with all species, were planted in two sites, Saskatoon and Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Western wheatgrass (WWG) had the highest overall plant density and the strongest effect on the forage yield of the forage swards; however, productivity and crude protein content were not reduced when other species were also included in the forage sward. Dalea spp. did not establish as well as the other species, but had the highest crude protein concentrations. This work provides insight into forage sward development at the establishment stage; additional work is required to determine long-term species impacts for well established forage swards.
