Abstract Limited research has been conducted to evaluate alternatives to enhance nutritional value of palm kernel meal (PKM) for ruminants. Therefore, 2 experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of treating palm kernel meal with calcium hydroxide (CH) on nutrient digestibility, blood parameters, performance and carcass characteristics of growing lambs. In Exp. 1, three lambs were randomly allotted in a 3 × 3 Latin square. Treatment diets include: (1) 0% PKM (Ctrl), (2) 25% PKM (PKM-NT) and (3) 25% PKM (PKM-T) treated with 5% CH. Data were analyzed as a Latin square with 3 dietary treatments and 3 periods using the MIXED procedure of SAS. Nutrient intake was not altered by experimental diet (P > 0.05). Fiber digestibility was decreased by inclusion of PKM (P = 0.043). However, Fiber digestibility was not different between PKM-T and PKM-NT (P = 0.613). Nitrogen free-extract was decreased by PKM-T vs PKM-NT (P = 0.037). Blood parameters evaluated (i.e. triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, total protein, TGO, TGP) were not altered by experimental treatment (P > 0.073). In Exp. 2, 14 lambs (19.3±3.32 kg of BW) were allocated into 1 of 2 experimental diets (PKM-NT or PKM-T) based on their live BW. Animals were fed individually for 93 d. Carcass characteristics were measured at the end of the feeding trial after a 24-h chilling period. Data were analyzed using the Mixed procedures of SAS as a completely randomized block design. Overall, DMI and ADG was increased by PKM-T (P < 0.049). Nevertheless, Feed efficiency was not altered by experimental treatment (P = 0.214). Dressing percent was enhanced by PKM-T (P = 0.036). Remaining carcass characteristics were not altered by experimental diet (P > 0.112). Growing data, suggest that treating PKM with alkali increased its nutritional value based on performance results. However, nutrient digestibilities does not support the benefit from alkali treatment.

ABSTRACT The present study compared the performance of commercial PCR-based Salmonella enterica detection methods (BAX System Q7, the iQ-Check Salmonella II kit, and the TaqMan Salmonella enterica detection kit) with culture-based methods (modified semisolid Rappaport-Vassiliadis [MSRV] and NMKL71) in spiked and naturally contaminated samples of feed mill scrapings (FMS), palm kernel meal (PKM), pelleted feed (PF), rape seed meal (RSM), soybean meal (SM), and wheat grain (WG). When results from the various feeds were compared, the number of Salmonella enterica CFU/25 g required to produce a positive were as follows: PKM > FMS = WG > RSM = SM = PF. These data are similar to those developed in earlier studies with culture-based Salmonella detection methods. PCR-based methods were performed similarly to culture-based methods, with respect to sensitivity and specificity. However, many PCR positives could not be confirmed by Salmonella isolation and for that reason the evaluated methods were found to be suitable only when rapid results were paramount. Nevertheless, PCR-based methods cannot presently replace culture-based methods when typing information is required for tracing studies or epidemiological investigations. The observed difference in detection levels is a potential problem when prevalence data are compared as well as when feed ingredients are tested for conformance with microbiological criteria. This paper also presents a statistical model that describes the detection probability when different levels (CFU) of Salmonella contamination are present in feed materials.

Increased demand for wood adhesives, environmental concerns, and the uncertainty of continuing availability of petrochemicals have led to recent attention on protein-based adhesives. This study was conducted to investigate the physico-chemical interaction of palm kernel meal (PKM) with melamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) resins in adhesive formulation by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The effect of hot press on PKM extender has been investigated by FTIR and blue shift is observed due to the hot press indicating that the functional groups (such as C=O, -OH and NH) are become more free in the samples. In the case of PKM-MUF blend bonding interactions observed where, PKM played the role as an extender. Red shift of C=O and N-H groups stretching in PKM-MUF-Wood blend is observed which suggests the interaction of these functional groups through hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that PKM extender-based MUF adhesive resins have potential application for the production of exterior plywood.
