The influence of various protein sources on N-digestion in forestomachs was investigated with 10 calves of the average age of 12 weeks which were supplied with duodenal re-entrant cannulae. 50 and 100% resp. of the soybean coarse meal-N in the standard ration (A) were replaced by urea-N (B) and lucerne-N (C). The crude protein concentration in the test rations varied between 17 and 19%. In the rumen the average NH3-concentration for rations A, B and C amounted to 7.7, 18.9 and 4.5 mg/100 ml resp., the pH-value was 6.4, 6.8 and 6.3 resp. 2.2, 2.4 and 2.7 g bacteria-N were synthesised per 100 g fermented organic matter. There were significant differences as regards the flow of non-ammonia N measured at the duodenum. Related to N-intake, values of 90, 79 and 104% were registered. 3.7, 3.7 and 4.3 g resp. non-NH3-N per 100 g digested organic matter were found at the duodenum. Under consideration of the high protein level of more than 17% (in the dry matter of the ration) required for this phase of growth, a partial replacement of soybean coarse meal-N by urea-N is of little effectivity. In contrast to this, the complete replacement of soybean protein by lucerne protein could guarantee the protein supply of 12-week-old calves.

Effects of UV-A irradiation and microbial fermentation on the physicochemical, microstructure and functional properties of okara.

Whole utilization of okara has important economic value, but there are two technical barriers: coarse mouthfeel caused by insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and undesirable "beany" off-odors. UV-A irradiation and/or microbial fermentation were used to modify okara. The results indicated that single and combined treatments increased the soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content.

This study employed electronic nose technology to assess the mold levels in soybeans, conducting analyses on artificially inoculated soybeans with five strains of fungi and distinguishing them from naturally moldy soybeans. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to evaluate inoculated and naturally moldy samples. The results revealed that the most influential sensor was W2W, which is sensitive to organic sulfur compounds, followed by W1W (primarily responsive to inorganic sulfur compounds), W5S (sensitive to small molecular nitrogen oxides), W1S (responsive to short-chain alkanes such as methane), and W2S (sensitive to alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and ketones).

The global gridded crop production dataset at 10 km resolution from 2010 to 2020 (GGCP10) for maize, wheat, rice, and soybean was developed to address limitations of existing datasets characterized by coarse resolution and discontinuous time spans. GGCP10 was generated using a series of adaptively trained data-driven crop production spatial estimation models integrating multiple data sources, including statistical data, gridded production data, agroclimatic indicator data, agronomic indicator data, global land surface satellite products, and ground data. These models were trained based on agroecological zones to accurately estimate crop production in different agricultural regions.

Article Synopsis
- Dietary fiber, especially from alfalfa, is important for improving reproductive performance in pregnant Songliao Black sows, which are being studied in gestation.
- The study involved 40 sows fed different ratios of alfalfa (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) to analyze the effects through various scientific methods, including metabolomics and microbial composition analysis.
- Results indicated that diets containing 10% and 20% alfalfa positively impacted reproductive performance by promoting beneficial gut microbes and increasing the diversity of these bacterial communities.
In the context of bulk grain container transportation, the complex logistics can lead to grain mildew and subsequent economic losses. Therefore, there is a pressing need to explore swift and real-time mildew detection technology. Our investigation, simulating actual transportation conditions, revealed that , , and were the primary molds responsible for soybean mildew during container transportation.
