Solid state fermentation was carried out by Pleurotus sajor-caju, micro-filamentous fungi and culture filtrate of P. sajor-caju with different combinations to improve nutritional qualities of rice straw. The acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents of the fermented rice straw were significantly reduced in mixed culture with filamentous fungi and P. sajor-caju. The cellulose and hemicellulose contents also reduced in similar manner. P. sajor-caju showed strong lignolytic activity resulting cellulose/lignin ratio of 5:1 when rice straw and PKC were supplemented. The protein content increased from 5.86 - 11.12, 12.98 and 13.14%, respectively. The maximum and significant amount of soluble protein 11.84 mg/g and glucosamine 18.50 mg/g was recorded in mixed culture at 30% palm oil kernel cake (PKC) supplementation. The maximum reducing sugar of 18.76 mg/g and endoglucanase activity 11.54 U/ml was recorded in same treatment. The mineral contents K, P, Ca, Mg and Fe were significantly higher in fermented sample while Cu and Zn were non-significant. The antioxidant activity improved by 45% and significantly varied between fermented and unfermented samples. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjb.v42i2.18039 Bangladesh J.

CMP-KDO synthetase (CKS) is an enzyme which plays a key role in the synthesis of LPS, an outer membrane component unique to gram negative bacteria. CKS activates KDO to CMP-KDO for incorporation into LPS. The enzyme is normally present in low concentrations (0.02% of total cell protein) which makes it difficult to perform large scale isolation and purification. Recently, the gene for CKS from E. coli was cloned and various recombinant DNA constructs overproducing CKS several thousandfold (unpublished data) were derived. Interestingly, no cytoplasmic inclusions of overproduced CKS were observed by EM (Fig. 1) which is in contrast to other reports of large proteinaceous inclusion bodies in various overproducing recombinant strains. The present immunocytochemical study was undertaken to localize CKS in these cells.Immune labeling conditions were first optimized using a previously described cell-free test system. Briefly, this involves soaking small blocks of polymerized bovine serum albumin in purified CKS antigen and subjecting them to various fixation, embedding and immunochemical conditions.

The main purpose for the application of science and technology for livestock group of cow, is to form a group of skilled and professional livestock, as vaccinators, can take advantage of Azadirachta indica leaves a plant insecticide, apply a good cage sanitation, can produce organic fertilizer from feces of cow, can treat hay as feed to good nutritional value. The method used is education and training. Activity results obtained, that 10 percent of members of the group have managed to become vaccinators cadres, able to implement good sanitation stables, feces of cow (Stomoxys calsitrans) can process technology with EM4 into organic fertilizer and can process the rice straw with urea spraying method, to produce feed hay to the value of good nutrition for growing cattle.

This study was undertaken to find ways of reducing the time taken by goats tobegin to eat an edible feed that they have not previously encountered. Experiment 1demonstrated that the time taken for goats (7-8 months old) to ingest an unfamiliar feed(rice straw) was shorter (4 days) when it was first offered to them in the presence offamiliar positive cues (the odor or flavor of juices extracted from previously eaten,nutritionally beneficial grasses), than if it was offered in the absence of such cues (10 days).In contrast, when the feed was offered in the presence of the odor of parasitised goat feces,the time to first ingestion was extended to 20 days. Experiment 2 showed that when sixmonthold goats were exposed to feeds they had not experienced previously (rice straw orrice bran) they did not ingest these feeds in less than 7 days. However, they commencedingesting these feeds immediately if they had been exposed to them, prior to weaning, inthe presence of their mother or another adult goat. Application of the principles of feedingbehavior, as illustrated by the present studies, to goats in Vietnam may improve theirproduction, especially when diets are changed frequently and include both familiar andunfamiliar materials.Keywords: Behavior; Diet selection; Flavor; Neophobia; Social facilitation; Goat.
