Protein and Amino Acid Digestibilities for Chickens of Reconstituted and Boiled Sorghum Grains Varying in Tannin Contents
(1985)
Two high and one low tannin sorghum type grains were used to study the effect of reconstitution (high moisture storage) and boiling treatments of the grain on protein and amino acid digestibilities. One lot of the grains ...
Diacetyl—A growth and toxin inhibitor of Aspergilli
(University of Nairobi, 1985)
Diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) a food additive, was found to be very effective in inhibiting growth and toxin production of Aspergillus flavus, A. versicolor and A. ochraceus when grown on synthetic liquid media and on natural ...

(1985)
Crop responses to fertilizers traditionally have been specified as polynomial functions. Recently, criticisms were raised against such specifications because they force substitution between nutrients and overestimate the ...
Inhibition of growth and toxin production in Aspergilli by Thymol.
(University of Nairobi, 1985)
Effects of the interaction of two levels of the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae Scopoli (Homoptera: Aphididae), and four stages of plant growth and development on the performance of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., under greenhouse conditions in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1985)
Damage caused by the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae Scopoli, on the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., was severest when the aphids were transferred onto bean plants during the preflowering stage. There were significant ...
Thermoregulation and heat balance in the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirki): a field and laboratory study.
(Elsevier Science Ltd, 1985)
xperiments were conducted in the field to study the physiological responses of dik-dik antelope to direct solar radiation and shade. The results were compared to those obtained in the laboratory. The rates of metabolic ...
