Pyrolysis of sunflower seed hulls for obtaining bio-oils
Bio-oils from pyrolysis of as received sunflower seed hulls (SSH), hulls previously washed with acid (SSHA) and hulls submitted to a mushroom enzymatic attack (BSSH) were analyzed. The concentration of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose varied with the pre-treatment.

Energy utilisation of biowaste — Sunflower-seed hulls for co-firing with coal
Abstract Sunflower-seed hulls (SSH) represent a source of combustible biomass characterised by high contents of potassium and phosphorus and a low silica content. The relatively high net calorific value of 20 MJ/kg d.m. is mainly influenced by the lignin content.

Insoluble fibre and enzyme supplementation in mash or pellets diets on growth performance, apparent ileal digestibility and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens fed barley containing diets [PDF]
Background Enzyme supplementation and the inclusion of fibre in the barley‐based diets have been some of the alternatives proposed to improve productivity in the absence of growth promoters. Objective This study was performed to investigate the effect of

Effects of feeding almond hulls to light lambs on carcass characteristics and meat quality. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Almond hulls (AH) are the main by‐product of almond processing for human consumption and contain bioactive compounds that can improve meat quality. Although AH are used as feed for dairy cows in some countries, information on their potential effects on meat quality is limited.

Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, Gastrointestinal Tract Traits in Response to Dietary Fiber Sources in Broiler Chickens [PDF]
The effects of dietary insoluble fiber sources on growth performance, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) traits, nutrient digestibility and intestinal enzyme activity were studied in broilers from 1 to 42 d of age. A total of 480 one-day-old chicks (Ross 308),

Composition and Antifungal Properties of Phenolic Extracts from Sunflower Hulls
Abstract Plants produce diverse types of secondary metabolites, including phenolic compounds, which are involved in protection against fungal infections. Sunflower hulls, an under-appreciated by-product of the oil industry, is a natural source of phenolic compounds.
