Use of Sunflower Hulls as the Roughage Component of Finishing Diets for Yearling Steers [PDF]
Sunflower hulls were substituted for grass-alfalfa hay as the roughage component of finishing diets for yearling steers. Feed intake was lower when sunflower hulls were fed, resulting in reduced rate of gain and increased feed conversion. When diets were

Effect of Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) Hulls with Different Particle Sizes on Growth Performance and Physiological Responses of Broiler Chickens Fed Different Levels of Protein [PDF]
Introduction: In broilers, dietary fiber stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid and bile acids and improves amylase activity, leading to better nutrient utilization (Hetland et al., 2002).

MADS-box genes controlling inflorescence morphogenesis in sunflower [PDF]
MADS-box genes play an important role in plant ontogeny, particularly, in the regulation of floral organ induction and development. Eight full-length cDNAs of HAM genes (Helianthus annuus MADS) have been isolated from sunflower.
