Implications of mycotoxin contamination of dairy feeds and products
(KARI publication unit, 2014)
The complex diet of ruminants, consisting of forages, concentrates, and preserved feeds, can be a source of very diverse mycotoxins that contaminate individual feed components. A number of mycotoxins are successfully ...
Molecular structure profiles of major chemical components of vernonia amygdalina and tephrosia vogelii leaf extracts
(2013)
Plants contain various chemical components some of which play vital roles in the bodies of plants and animals.
It is essential that the chemical composition of these plants be well elucidated in o rder to come up with ...
Risks of heavy metal contamination of dairy feeds and products
(KARI publication unit, 2014)
Toxic substances such as dioxins, mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, veterinary drugs and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are almost ubiquitous in the environment. Thus, they are also present in ingredients for animal ...
The potential of beetle and termite fibre hydrolytic crude extracts in the pretreatment of maize stover for ruminant production
(2013)
It is increasingly understood that 1 st-generation biofuels (produced primarily from food crops such
