Improving the fermentation characteristics of corn through agronomic and processing practices
This study determined the influence of corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids, N availability, grain harvest moisture, and drying temperatures on dry-mill ethanol production. Six hybrids, ranging from 92 to 108 d in relative maturity (RM), were planted at two locations over 2 yr. One of four N fertilizer treatments were applied. Grain was hand-harvested at grain moistures of 20 and 25%. Grain was dried to ...

Corn morphology, mass, and grain yield as affected by early-season red: far-red light environments
The spatial arrangement among plants affects both vegetative and reproductive meristem development. More axillary meristems develop at lower plant densities, which are associated with relatively high red:far-red light ratios (R:FRs; 645:735 nm). However, little is known about the effect of R:FR on corn (Zea mays L.) productivity. We conducted field research to determine the effect of early-season ...

How to store feed pellet
During the rainy season, the air humidity is relatively high. If the feed is not stored properly, it is easy to become moldy and deteriorate. Various nutrients in the moldy feed are destroyed, the nutritional quality of the feed decreases, and even its utilization value is completely lost. After livestock and poultry eat moldy and rotten feed, toxins will accumulate in the animal's body, causing ...
