Acidification of Biogas Residues Stimulates Manganese Uptake in Wheat

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Efficient application of organic fertilizers contributes to resource‐efficient agriculture. Acidification of liquid manure effectively reduces ammonia (NH3) emissions. However, the effect of acidification on other plant nutrients, such as Mn, often a yield‐limiting nutrient in cereal production, is not well understood.

Mechanism and Control of Pseudomonas Biofilm Formation: Based on the Relationship between Quorum Sensing and the Second Messenger [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
As the dominant spoilage bacterium in meat, Pseudomonas poses a significant threat to meat quality and safety. The biofilm of Pseudomonas not only enhances stress resistance but also provides bio-protection, thereby making the decontamination of ...

Effect of calcium chloride injection and freezing prior to wet aging on the meat quality of cull cows

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND In Brazil, the slaughter of female cattle, particularly older animals, has increased substantially. However, meat from this category presents limitations in terms of quality, mainly because of its toughness resulting from a high concentration of cross‐links between collagen fibers.

The use of edible insects in human food

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

Freeze‐dried Lactobacillus spp. improved average daily liveweight gain and reduced methane intensity in growing lambs

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Direct fed microbials (DFM) are natural and safe enteric methane mitigants for ruminant livestock systems. While previous studies have demonstrated the effect of Lactobacillus spp. on methane mitigation, challenges remain in effectively delivering DFM in extensive grazing systems. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the
