Abstract Water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) is a one of the feed materials from the green plants a potential. Howefer, the water hyacinth are low of protein and high fiber contents. Therefore, there should be efforts intentionally done to increase the leaf protein. One the ways to raise water hyacinth nutrient is performing biologically fermentation by using microbes. The Kombucha organism is a symbiotic colony of yeast’s and bacteria that composed by strong membrane that covers gelatinous mass. Kombucha microorganism is living together with permeate the tea drink. The objective of this research is to know the effect of Kombucha to increased crude protein and decreased crude fiber contents in water hyacinth fermentation. The advantage of the research is to provide information regarding a Kombucha dosage which is required to enhance crude protein and reduce crude fiber content on water hyacinth fermentation. The research used water hyacinth as substrate and Kombucha as fermentor. Kombucha dosaged used here were P0 (0%), P1 (7,5%), P2 (15%) and P3 (22,5%). The fermentation took place 7 days and then proceeded with proximate analysis. Variables observed consisted of crude protein and crude fiber contents after being fermented using Kombucha. The result showed that Kombucha that was used for fermenting water hyacinth, could increase the crude protein content from 13,3040 % (P0) to 15,9972% (P3) and not significantly reduce the crude fiber. The Kombucha dosage at 7,5% (P1) was most effective for fermenting the water hyacinth.

The article presents the results of studies of the quality of silage in the canning of cere-al-legume green mass: the leaven "Yarosil, bacterial preservative, suspension" in an amount: 50 ml per ton, 275 ml per ton 500 ml per ton, containing Lactobacillus plantarum K-36, K- 64, K-65, K-72, K-74, K-87, K-167; Lactobacillus lactis subsp. lactis Ep-157, Lactobacillus paracasei Ep-154 Ep-155 Ep-156 Ep-158, Streptococcus thermophilus K-35, the concentration (total) was 1.5õ109 CFU / cm3; starter culture "Yarosil dry powder" in a dose: 1 g per ton, 5.5 g per ton, 10 g per ton The composition of the microflora was the same as in the yeast "Yarosil, bacterial preservative, suspension", but the concentration was different and amounted to "Yarosil dry powder" (total) 8õ1010 CFU / cm3. The optimal amount of introduction (dose) of the indi-cated starter cultures into the canned green cereal-legume mass has been revealed. The amount of sourdough added had an impact on the safety, chemical composition and nutritional value of the resulting haylage. More optimal results were obtained when adding the starter culture "Yar-osil bacterial preservative, suspension" in the amount of 50 ml / t to the cereal-legume green mass. The starter culture increased the crude protein content by 1.03% (the control sample con-tained 7.85%, the experimental one - 8.88%), reduced the crude fiber content by 0.74% (the control sample contained 27.13%, the experimental – 26, 39%), reduced the content of butyric acid by 0.11% in the control sample contained 0.17%, in the experimental - 0,06%). When add-ing the starter culture "Yarosil dry powder" the best result was obtained when adding 5.5 g/ t. The starter culture increased the crude protein content by 1.54% (the control sample contained 7.85%, the experimental one – 9.39 %), reduced the crude fiber content by 0.72 % (the control sample contained 27.13 %, the experimental – 26, 41%), reduced the content of butyric acid by 0.06 % in the control sample contained 0.17%, in the experimental – 0,11 %). The amount of the added starter culture did not affect the organoleptic characteristics. The resulting haylage corresponded to GOST R 55986-2014, no mold or rot was found in it, the crushed mass of plants (stems, leaves) was clearly distinguishable, had a greenish-yellow color, a pleasant, specific smell of pickled vegetables. As a result of the research, the optimal doses of the studied starter cultures were established for the quality of haylage from cereal-leguminous green mass.

BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to evaluate the information quality of YouTube videos on hallux valgus. METHODS:A YouTube search was performed using the keyword 'hallux valgus' to determine the first 300 videos related to hallux valgus. A total of 54 videos met our inclusion criteria and evaluated for information quality by using DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and hallux valgus information assessment (HAVIA) scores. Number of views, time since the upload date, view rate, number of comments, number of likes, number of dislikes, video power index (VPI) values were calculated to determine video popularity. Video length (sec), video source and video content were also noted. The relation between information quality and these factors were statistically evaluated. RESULTS:The mean DISCERN score was 30.35{plus minus}11.56 (poor quality) (14-64), the mean JAMA score was 2.28{plus minus}0.96 (1-4), and the mean HAVIA score was 3.63{plus minus}2.42 (moderate quality) (0.5-8.5). Although videos uploaded by physicians had higher mean DISCERN, JAMA, and HAVIA scores than videos uploaded by non-physicians, the difference was not statistically significant. Additionally, view rates and VPI values were higher for videos uploaded by health channels, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between video length and DISCERN (r= 0.294, p= 0.028), and HAVIA scores (r= 0.326, p= 0.015). CONCLUSIONS:This present study demonstrated that the quality of information available on YouTube videos about hallux valgus was low and insufficient. Videos containing accurate information from reliable sources are needed to educate patients on hallux valgus, especially in less frequently mentioned topics such as postoperative complications and healing period.

1. The results of over 500 determinations of the heat of combustion of the urine produced by cattle and sheep have been analysed statistically. 2. The analytical errors for nitrogen, carbon and heat of combustion were ±0.54, ±1.4 and ±2.2%. The error attached to an estimate of the heat of combustion of the urine produced by an individual sheep in 4 days was ± 10%.3. At the maintenance level of feeding, the heat of combustion of the urine (U kcal/ 100 kcal food) was related to the crude protein content of the diet (P%)by the equationU = 0.25P+1.6with a residual standard deviation of ±0.88 kcal/100 kcal.4. Regression analysis of the relation between the heat of combustion of urine and its N content showed significant differences with diet. The heat of combustion of the urine of sheep was 9.7 kcal/g C and of cattle 10.3 kcal/g C, and did not vary with diet. 5. It is shown that the variation in the heat of combustion of urine/g N and its relative constancy/g C arises largely from variation, from diet to diet, in the proportion of the N excreted as hippurate. 6. The results have been combined with the results of a similar analysis (Blaxter & Clapperton, 1965) of methane production by sheep to show that the ratio of metabolizable energy to digested energy varies very little from mean values of 0.82 for roughages, 0.85 for cereals and 0.79 for oilseed cakes and meals.

Sorghum (S. bicolor) collected from Dhankuta district was used for malting. Sorghum was steeped for 12 hours at Relative humidity of 70±5% and germinated at room temperature (28±3°C) with repeated change of water at interval of every 8 hours for 2, 3,4,5,6 and 7 days. The germinated samples of each day were taken for kilning at the temperature scenario of 50-55°C until moisture reaches to 23%; 70-75°C until moisture reaches to 12%; and 90-95% until moisture reaches to 3-5%. The result of enzyme activity determination showed that the sorghum germinated for 3 days has the higher enzyme activity of 27.39 units per gram dry matter. Proximate analysis of malted and unmalted flour showed significant different (p<0.05) in fat, ash, reducing sugar and crude fiber content. Likewise calcium and iron content of malted flour was significantly increased (p<0.05) than that of unmalted one with subsequent decreased (p<0.05) in their binder oxalate and phytate respectively. The sorghum of higher enzyme activity was then used to prepare the biscuit. Malted sorghum and wheat flour was blended in the following ratios: samples A; 30: 70, sample B; 50:50, sample C; 60:40, sample D; 0:100. The organolaptic test shows the significant difference (p<0.05) between these samples in terms of flavor and test. The mean sensory score was found to be higher for sample C. This suggests that the malted sorghum flour can be used for the preparation of biscuit upto 60% (w/w) of wheat flour without alteration in texture, crispiness, appearance and overall acceptability.Sunsari Technical College Journal 2015, 2(1):33-37

Abstract This study highlights the effect of drought and ambient temperature on performance and herbage quality of legume monocultures and grass-legume mixtures. In a field experiment, the total dry matter yield, seasonal pattern of dry matter yield distribution, content of crude protein and crude fibre of monocultures of red clover and alfalfa and grass-legume mixtures were investigated during two consecutive dry years (2011-2012). Alfalfa cultivars Kamila and Tereza grown as monocultures or as mixtures with Festulolium braunii (cultivar Achilles) outperformed the red clover cultivars Fresko and Veles and provided a well-balanced total and seasonal dry matter yield during both years. Across all experimental years, crude protein content was significantly higher at alfalfa monocultures and mixture when compared with clover monocultures (P < 0.05). However, considerable lower content of crude fibre at clover monocultures in comparison with alfalfa ones was found. Responses of nutritive parameters of both legume species to weather variables were different. Crude protein content in red clover was independent of rainfall and temperature. In contrast, the crude fibre content correlated with temperature whereby the alfalfa monocultures showed stronger correlations (P < 0.05) than red clover monocultures.
