Drying fuel alcohols and natural gas with biosorbents based on agricultural by-products
Gas dehydration is an important component of energy production and distribution Prior to distribution, natural gas must be dehydrated to control corrosion and prevent formation of solid hydrocarbon-water hydrates In biofuel production, current processing techniques through fermentation generate low…Read More
Use of canola meal as a protein source in pelleted starter mixtures for dairy calves
Canola meal use in starter mixtures for calves is limited The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of canola meal as a protein source in starter mixtures for Holstein calves around weaning and to evaluate strategies that may enhance canola meal use and improve gastrointestinal…Read More
Strategically blended high fat pellets for pregnant beef cows derived from by-product feeds using flax or canola as a fat source
