Comparison of lycopene and β-carotene content in tomatoes determined with chemical and non-destructive methods
(2019)Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables due of their wide use as food. Tomatoes are not only tasty fruit, but one of its benefits - high carotenoids content is well-known. Non-destructive analyses methods are ... -
Assessment of applied microwave power of intermittent microwave-dried carrot powders from Colour and NIRS
(2019)Applied microwave (MW) power level is an essential factor on the quality of the dried agricultural products. Even if higher MW powers result in shorter drying times, they lead to quality degradations. It is almost ... -
Principal components in the study of soil and plant properties in precision coffee farming
(2019)In this work, a principal component analysis was performed to evaluate the possibility of discarding obsolete soil and plant variables in a coffee field to eliminate redundant and difficult-to-measure information in ... -
Model for ammonia emissions’ assessment and comparison of various dairy cattle farming systems and technologies
(2019)A dairy cattle farming is an important source of ammonia emissions, particularly in Latvia. Models using a wide range in level of detail have been developed to represent or predict these emissions. Besides, models are ... -
Spatial variability of litter temperature, relative air humidity and skin temperature of chicks in a commercial broiler house
(2019)The thermal environment inside a broiler house has a great influence on animal welfare and productivity during the production phase. Among the importance of the chicken litter is the function of absorbing moisture, provide ... -
Variety, seeding rate and disease control affect faba bean yield components
(2019)Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) have been grown since 8000 years B.C. in the Middle East. Despite their long growing history in the world, there are only few researches carried out in Baltic region in last decades about ... -
Effect of two housing systems on performance and longevity of dairy cows in Northern Italy
(2019)The objective of the current study was to evaluate and compare performance of dairy cows housed in compost-bedded pack barns (CBP) and free stall barns, with a focus on longevityrelated parameters. Study included 30 ... -
Effect of environmental temperature during the of brooding period on growing period of pullets viscera and tibia
(2019)Poultry production in subtropical and tropical regions faces many problems, one of which is the high air temperature causing thermal stress, particularly dangerous in high-producing birds. Thus, the negative effects ... -
Special tractor driving wheels with two modification of spikes inclination angle
(2019)The paper presents a research on an improvement of tractor drawbar properties using special driving wheels. Two modifications of the special driving wheels were designed and tested under field conditions. The results ... -
Assessment of production zones modelling accuracy based on satellite imaging and yield measurement of selected agriculture plot
(2019)Currently, remote sensing or yield monitor equipment offer possibilities how to estimate productivity of the agriculture field. That is why the main aim of this study is to assess how the latest satellite images from ... -
Measurements of wireless detectors used to monitor animal movements in livestock farms
(2019)At present, there is a great interest in monitoring and automating farm animals and livestock farming. There are many systems and methods to check the movement of animals in certain areas. One option is to use motion ... -
