In a series of experiments (1928 29), he showed that acid treatment has no adverse effect on the nutritive value and edibility of the fodder and of products derived from animals fed the fodder.
The optimal duration for the use of contaminated crops as fodder depended on a number of factors such as radionuclide, variety of crops fed as fodder and duration of the action.
The second particularly applies to Sahrawi refugees; camels had to be fed purchased fodder.
Species of the genus Acetivibrio have previously been identified in biogas digesters, including a CSTR (35°C) fed with fodder beet silage and cattle manure [30], a production-scale biogas plant (41°C) fed with maize silage, green rye and chicken manure [38], and a biogas digester processing pig manure [33].
By targeting 16S rRNA genes, high abundance of representatives of both phyla have been found in biogas digesters operating with plant-based materials and/or manure, including a CSTR biogas digester fed with fodder beet silage and cattle manure [30], a biogas digester processing pig manure [33] and a biogas reactor operating with maize silage, bruised grain, cattle manure and pig manure [34].
Larvae were fed on fodder pellets.
Animals were contaminated because they were fed with fodder grown in the contaminated area.
For example, the microbial diversity in a completely stirred digester fed with fodder beet silage as a monosubstrate is reported to be particularly rich in Clostridiales, Deltaproteobacteria, Bacilli, and Bacteroidetes [ 18].
Compared with our previous 16S rRNA gene based data [ 40], higher percentages of Firmicutes and lower percentages of Bacteroidetes in the Indian Surti buffalo fed green fodder Napier bajra 21 (Pennisetum purpureum), mature pasture grass (Dichanthium annulatum), and concentrate mixture (20% crude protein, 65% total digestible nutrients) rumen metagenome were observed.
The need to purchase fodder places an economic burden on camel owners and often forces them to generate revenues from production to pay for feed; fodder is either purchased with the same sources of cash used to access camels or with revenue from milk sales.
