For the production of high quality silage, and reduction of losses of biological yield, the use of effective biological preparations is topical. In order to reveal the effectiveness of the preservation of nutrients from plant raw materials, a number of laboratory studies were carried out in 2016-2017 in the Tatar Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture (TatNIISKh). The object of research was haylage harvested from the green mass of alfalfa, grown on the experimental field “TatNIISh” in Laishevsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan. The nutritional value of the conserved green mass of the alfalfa (Medicago sativa) variety Aisleau in the phase of budding with different moisture was analyzed. Preservation of the planted plant mass was carried out using biological preparations Biotrof (St. Petersburg), Ferbak-Sil (Kazan), Bioamid-3 (Saratov). The variant with biological preparation Biotroph served as the control. The maximum content of exchange energy (EE), with an increased concentration of phytomass moisture, was established in the control sample, which was 2.36 MJ/kg and was higher than the experimental samples with Bioamid-3 and Ferbak-Sil preparations at 6.78 and 3.82 %. With an increased dry matter content in the green mass of alfalfa, this indicator was the maximum in the sample with the preparation Bioamid-3 (3.67 MJ/kg), which was higher than the control by 4.56%. The leader in the concentration of crude protein and crude fiber, with a high moisture content of raw materials, was set in a control sample and amounted to 6.11 and 6.07%, which were higher than the prototypes with Bioamid-3 and Ferbak-Sil preservatives by 0.33 and 0.16%, 0.76 and 0.48% respectively. The leading preservative for the preservation of raw protein and crude fiber, with reduced moisture content of raw materials, showed the drug Bioamid-3, whose indices were above the control by 0.39 and 0.23%.

Aims: This study investigated the physicochemical assessment of Rivers Kaa and Bodo in Ogoniland, as well as the proximate profile of selected fin and shell fish from these Rivers. Study Design: Random sampling. Place and Duration of Study: Kaa and Bodo communities of Ogoniland, between August and November 2014. Methodology: The physicochemical analysis; pH, temperature (T), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), conductivity (C), salinity (S) and total hydrocarbon content (THC), were done. The results were compared to FEPA and APHA permissible limits. Proximate composition was determined using Association of Official Analytical Chemist standard analytical methods. Results: Physicochemical analysis results showed that T (26.5±.010), (26.8±.006) and TSS (8.68±.006), (12.5±.006) for Kaa were lower than Bodo (sp≤0.05), S (7.20±.021), (8.40±.010) and THC (0.25±.015), (3.00±.040) were both lower for Kaa than Bodo, at (p≤0.05), BOD was higher for samples collected from Bodo than samples collected from Kaa (188±.234), (259±.690). The TDS and Conductivity were both higher for samples from Bodo than those from Kaa, while pH and DO were higher for samples collected from Kaa than samples collected from Bodo. The moisture content for all samples collected from Kaa (63.7±.289), (72.5±.488), (75.1±.973), (67.4±.455), were significantly lower at p≤0.05 than the moisture content for samples from Bodo (68.7±.514), (80.6±.476), (86.2±.790), (74.5±.514) indicating that the samples from Kaa are better sources of protein, lipid, and energy than samples from Bodo. The protein, lipid, crude fibre, ash and dry matter content of all samples from Kaa were significantly higher (p≤0.05) than those for samples from Bodo. Conclusion: These findings suggest a contamination of the study sites particularly Bodo with petroleum products. Furthermore, it shows that the protein contents in all samples from Bodo were below the recommended standards, suggesting that the consumption of fishes from the study area particularly Bodo, is unhealthy.

Legume–grass forage was ensiled two seasons in 25-ton polyvinyl-encased stacks at dry matter (D.M.) levels of 22 to 37% or stored as field-cured hay. The polyvinyl sleeve coverings provided initial gas-tight conditions. High losses occurred in the high D.M. (32 to 37%) silage during the feeding-out period. Silage quality, as indicated by volatile fatty acid ratios, proximate principles, and digestibility coefficients, was not significantly influenced by D.M. content. When cows were fed the lower D.M. (22 to 29%) silages and hay, forage intake was inversely related to its dry matter content. Intake of high D.M. silage appeared abnormally low. Milk yields appeared to be more consistently influenced by small variations in grain intake than forage dry matter intake through both trials. Milk yields from silages were greater than from hay per unit of D.M. intake. Moisture content of forage had no significant effect on milk composition as indicated by percentage of butterfat, solids-not-fat, or protein.

The role of fats in nutrition is determined by their high-calorie content and participation in the construction of body tissues, together with proteins and carbohydrates. Enriched nutrition is of great importance in the complex of issues that determine its usefulness. Thus, the question of the effect of probiotics and sorbents in the diet on the animal organism has become very relevant. The purpose of the work was a comparative assessment of the composition and properties of adipose tissue of rams, consuming together and separately preparations with sorption and probiotic effect. The studies were carried out in two stages. In the first, during the scientific and economic experiment, 80 newborn rams grew and developed up to a year of age, followed by the slaughter of three animals from each group. In the second stage, samples of internal fat were examined according to some indicators. Sensory analysis revealed that all internal fat samples met the established requirements, while the color and consistency of the experimental samples improved. The dry matter content, including fat in the experimental samples of fat tissue, increased, and moisture decreased. The physical and technical parameters of internal fat also changed in the intergroup aspect. In the control sample, the iodine number decreased, and the saponification number, pour point, and melting point increased. Calculation of energy value indicates that in the first sample, the indicator increased by 0.08 MJ (0.23%); Group II – by 0.16 MJ (0.45%) and group III – by 0.25 MJ (0.70%). According to the sum of monounsaturated fatty acids, young group III was in the lead. The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids was the opposite. The biological effectiveness of fats is determined by the ratio that was better in the experimental samples. Thus, the inclusion of fodder additives in the diet of the rams of the Romanov breed helps to improve the quality of raw materials.

Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional content of various cultivars of taro acquired from All India Co-ordinated Research Project (AICRP) on tuber crops. Study design:Completely randomized design (CRD) at 5% level of significance. Place and duration of study: Department of Post Harvest Technology, faculty of Horticulture, Bidhan Chandra KrishiViswavidyalaya, West Bengal, India, between December 2019 and February 2020. Methodology: 8 cultivars of taro were evaluated for their nutritional contents in this study and their physical attributes such as cormel girth, length, specific gravity, number of cormels per plant and weight of cormel as well as yield per hectare was calculated. Chemical attributes such as titratable acidity, starch, ascorbic acid, total phenol and total sugar as well as reducing sugar content in each cultivar was also studied. Results: Analysis of variance showed significant variation among all the tested cultivars. Moisture content, total sugar and starch was recorded to be highest in the cultivar TTR-17-6 (72.233 %, 5.007 % and 31.805 % respectively). Total phenol (188 mg GAE 100 gm-1) and reducing sugar (2.817%) was found to be highest in TTR-17-5. Total soluble solids was highest in TTR-17-7 (3.867 0Brix). Dry matter content was highest in TTR-17-4 (37.333 %) and ascorbic acid was highest in TTR-17-2 (70.093 mg 100 gm-1). Conclusion: The eight cultivars of taro studied were found to be rich in sugars, ascorbic acid, total phenols and starch. They were observed to vary in cormel girth, length, weight, specific gravity, yield, moisture, dry matter content, TSS and titratable acidity. The cultivar TTR-17-6 was found to be very high in starch, total sugar and moisture content. Therefore, this cultivar may be of considerable importance in ameliorating malnutrition in poorly resourced areas of the developing countries. Cultivar TTR-17-2 was found to be high in ascorbic acid and hence can be further used by the plant breeders to develop more cultivars of taro that are rich in such phytochemicals.

Background. Theproblem of expanding the range of flour products of high nutritional and biological value for healthy nutrition with the use of new types of protein and mineral supplements, products of complex processing of fish and plant raw materials remains relevant. The development of technology of choux pastry products using dry fish and plant semi-finished product (NRVGL) and carrot filler (CF) is proposed. The aim of this article is to study the influence of dry fish and plant semi-finished products on the structural and mechanical properties and quality indicators of choux pastry products, to justify the rational recipe composition and to determine the nutritional value of choux pastry semi-finished products using NRVGL and CF. Materials and methods. The semi-finished fish and plant semi-finished product from hydrolyzed fish heads with wheat bran and flax seed fiber (NRVGL), which is made from dry fish and plant semi-finished products (SRRN) according to the TU U 10.2-40220843-003: 2016; boiled carrot puree with a dry matter content of 10 %; model sys­tems and baked semi-finished products from choux pastryis explored. Organoleptic indicators of baked products were evaluated according to DSTU 4683: 2006 [12]. Viscosity was measured on a rotary viscometer VPN-0.2, the total mois­ture content was determined by drying to constant weight, ash - by burning a sample with calcination of the mineral residue in a muffle furnace, fat –by extraction-weight method, protein –by modified Kieldal method according to GOST 7636–85, mass fraction of car­bohydrates –by the calculation method, mineral composition –on the atomic absorption spectrophotometer AAS-30. Results. The influence of dry and hydrated fish and plant semi-finished products on the structural and mechanical, functional technological and organoleptic properties of model systems from choux pastrydough has been established by experimental methods. It was found that the use of hydrated in milk NRVGL during brewing flour improves the techno­logical properties of choux pastry dough. The influence of CF on the structure of choux pastrydough and the quality of baked semi-finished products with NRVGL has been studied. The mechanism of action of these additives is studied, the stage of their intro­duction and rational mass fraction in the choux pastrysystem are substantiated. It is established that when using 20 % NRVGL from flour weight and 10 % CF from the mass of egg mix during the brewing of flour, the necessary plasticization of the dough structure is achieved. At the same time there is an improvement of organoleptic characteristics and quality indicators of products. Custard semi-finished products contain­ning NRVGL and CF contain 15.1 % less fat, their nutrient composition improves, in particular, the content of Calcium, Phosphorus, fiber, easily hydrolyzed polysaccharides and soluble pectin substances increases compared to the control. Conclusion. The complex of experimental researches enabled the development of the recipe composition and technology of production of baked choux pastrysemi-finished products with the use of dry fish and plant semi-finished product NRVGL and carrot filler. Choux pastrysemi-finished product is recommended for using in the production of culinary products with improved nutrient composition –profiteroles, filled with pate and fish paste, which are served as cold or banquet snacks.

Nitrogen Contents

The dry matter content of the internodes of the wheat varieties, Thatcher, Rescue, and Golden Ball, grown on non-irrigated land varied with age, variety, and internode. The nitrogen content of the stem tissues varied from 6 per cent for immature to less than 1 per cent for mature tissues. The nodes of these wheat plants generally contained less dry matter and more nitrogen than did the internodes. At maturity the top third of each of the two uppermost internodes of Thatcher grown on irrigated land contained the highest percentages of dry matter and nitrogen, and the bottom third contained the lowest. The stems of the wheats and of Eagle oats were not greatly different in dry matter and nitrogen content during the period when larvae of the wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Nort., usually die in oat plants.Resistance of solid-stemmed wheats to the sawfly does not appear to be associated with a quantitative nutritional deficiency of either moisture or nitrogen. The analyses are consistent with the hypothesis that older larvae in solid-stemmed wheats die as a result of desiccation. Pith of Golden Ball contained more moisture than did that of Rescue, which supports the view that greater egg mortality may occur in the former variety because of the higher moisture content.

SUMMARYThe effect of covers of controlled volunteer vegetation, Pueraria phaseoloides, and clean weeding on the soil moisture content and on the succulence of sisal leaves was studied. The surface soil tended to dry out further when exposed by clean weeding, but moisture in the profile as a whole was not much depleted. The plant covers dried soils to at least 300 cm. in dry periods. Although sisal leaves had a slightly higher dry matter content in dry weather there was no evidence of competition for water between the plant covers and the sisal.
