The Pruning Effect on the Storage Root Yield and Starch Content of Sweet Potato Clones Planted at Dry Land

Caraka Tani: Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 2020
Sweet potato is a dual-purpose crop, which could produce both food and feed. The vine pruning prior to storage root harvesting was intended to increase the quantity and quality of fresh forage for animal feed. This study aims to evaluate whether periodic

Yield and quality of wilted sweet potato vines and its silages [PDF]

Horticultura Brasileira, 2015
Sweet potato is widely used for human consumption, but has also potential for its use in animal feeding. In this study we evaluated yield and quality as forage of wilted vines of various sweet potato genotypes and selected the most suitable for silage. Fifteen genotypes were evaluated (BD-31TO, BD-26, BD-13, BD-17, BD-22, BD-24, BD-54, BD-56, BD-69, BD-

Digestibility of sweet potato vines in diets for growing rabbits

Revista Brasileira de Cunicultura, 2020
In developing countries, animal production is affected by the dependence on conventional ingredients or by its high cost, for which it is important to research agro-industrial by-products. Therefore, the purpose to this study was to evaluate the digestibility of diets for rabbits with sweet potato vines, in substitution to alfalfa hay.

In VitroAntioxidant Effects of Flavonoids of Sweet Potato Vines [PDF]

International Journal of Food Properties, 2010
Flavonoids of sweet potato vines (FSPV) were examined for their antioxidant effects in vitro. The scavenging capacities of FSPV on 1,1-diphenyl 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide anion radical, and hydroxyl radical were measured, and their antioxidant activity in a linoleic acid model system was studied using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method.

Pulverization of sweet potato vine at different mower speeds

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2013
The effects of different mower speeds (2358, 2440 and 2553 rpm) and different knife angles (30?, 40? and 50?) on sweet potato vine pulverization were studied. The results indicated that all the treatments were significant at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 significance level for the pulverized percentage of sweet potato vine. The 30?
