Analysis of environmental conditions and management in a compost-bedded pack barn with tunnel ventilation
(2021)The housing system based on compost-bedded pack for dairy cows is spreading rapidly in Brazil. Completely open buildings without curtains and simple roofs are usually provided. However, in the last years some new completely ... -
Airflow resistance of two hop varieties
(2021)The quality of hops used in brewing is substantially reliant upon the processing step of drying. To ensure effective drying in kiln as well conveyor-belt dryers, homogeneous distribution of air is of particular importance. ... -
Relationship between somatic cell count in goat milk and mature Kashkaval cheese parameters
(2021)It is challenging to ensure Kashkaval cheese consistent quality during the production process which is directly correlated to the somatic cell count (SCC) and bacterial presence. This is one of the most popular and widely ... -
Some physical and mechanical properties of wood of Fast-growing tree species eucalyptus (Eucalyptus grandis) and radiata pine (Pinus radiata D.Don)
(2021)Fast-growing imported plantation tree species have become an available wood resource for Europe’s wood industry in the last decades. This sustainable alternative may reduce the gap between the increasing demand for and ... -
Alleviation of technological stresses by a feed supplement
(2021)Technological stresses affect the productivity of broiler-type chicken and are related directly to poultry farming intensification. Heat stress occurring in conditions of high density keeping, especially at high summer ... -
Research into engineering and operation parameters of mineral fertiliser application machine with new fertiliser spreading tools
(2021)The output capacity of the machine for top spreading the soil with solid mineral fertilisers can be raised by means of increasing its working width. The authors have carried out field trials and field experiment ... -
Effect of fertilization on growth of lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.)
(2021)Today, most of the global berry crop of Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. is obtained from wild berries. In recent years, however, their cultivation has become slightly more widespread, especially as demand has increased. As the ... -
Compositional evaluation of hot-pressed rapeseed cake for the purpose of bioplastic production
(2021)Rapeseed is widely cultivated for biodiesel or food-grade oil production. As the oil production process generates huge amounts of wastes and by-products (e.g. oil press cake and meal) that have relatively high crude ... -
