Twin screw extrusion pre-treatment of wheat straw for biofuel and lignin biorefinery applications
Pre-treatment of wheat straw(lignocellulosic) biomass is a crucial step as it has direct impact on the subsequent yield of enzymatic saccharification and alcohol fermentation processes in the production of biofuel. Twin screw extrusion is a highly feasible pretreatment method and has been received …

Fermentation characteristics and nutritional value of different proportions of alfalfa and wheat straw ensiled with and without different additives
… proportions of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) straw ensiled with and without molasses, microbial inoculant and molasses + microbial inoculant. In experiment 1, chopped alfalfa harvested at 1/10 bloom and chopped wheat straw were ensiled in the following proportions …

Methods of preserving and enhancing fermentation and nutritional value of caged layer waste-wheat straw silages fed to sheep
… In this experiment, the wastes were ensiled with wheat straw (60:40, wet basis) in 4-liter cardboard containers double lined with polyethylene with the following additives: control, 10% dry molasses, silage inoculant or 10% dry molasses plus inoculant. In the third study, the preservatives were: …

Protein supplementation and comparative feeding value of alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw-containing diets fed to cattle and lambs
… of alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw (AHPWS)-based diets and to compare the feeding value of AHPWS to corn silage (CS). A lamb metabolism experiment was conducted to determine the dietary CP level needed to maximize nitrogen (N) retention and fiber digestibility. Soybean …

Fermentation characteristics and nutritional value of stored and fresh dairy cattle waste ensiled with crop residues
… levels were 71:39 and 64:36 cattle waste to wheat straw, wet basis. Active fermentation occurred in all silages and pH was lower and lactic acid levels were much higher than they were in the small silo. In a metabolism trial conducted with lambs, the following diets were fed: 1) 50% …

Thermochemically/mechanically Treated Crop Residues and Dry Distillers Grains With Solubles as Corn Replacement in Growing Diets Fed to Lambs and Steers
… diet. Data suggests that ReadcoRTM processed wheat straw and corn fiber/wheat chaff (3:1) blend CRP with DDGS can replace corn and DDGS in a growing steer diets while providing similar gains (P>0.05). Steers fed the corn fiber/wheat chaff CRP diet and DDGS were less efficient than the corn …

Mixing for Suspension of Solids
… was used to produce downward flow. Sand, wheat straw, corn stover, activated carbon, and activated carbon-sand mixture were studied in this system. Several concentrations of the wheat straw, corn stover, and activated carbon were examined. The liquid level was equal to one tank diameter …

Chemical composition and fiber structure as factors affecting fiber fermentation
… improvement in rate of fermentation of wheat straw following alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment (treatment times of 1 h, 2 h or 3 h) was noted. Alkaline hydrogen peroxide had a quadratic effect on extent of fermentation of wheat straw and solka floc as affected by treatment time. …
