Meat production from dairy breed lambs due to slaughter age and feeding plan based on wheat bran

2019

This experiment aimed to investigate the possibility to increase the carcass weight of dairy breed lambs and produce moderate-fat meat by applying inexpensive feeding strategies based on restriction and through the use of a fibrous byproduct such as the durum wheat bran (DWB). Sixty-five 45-day-old lambs of the Valle del Belice breed, divided into 6 groups, were fed alfalfa hay supplemented with concentrate feeds including DWB at 0% or 20% (DWB0, DWB20), supplied ad libitum (L) or restricted at 75% (R), and slaughtered at 90 or 120 days of age. The groups were as follows: DWB0-90L (n = 14), DWB20-90L (n = 14), DWB0-120R (n = 10), DWB20-120R (n = 9), DWB0-120L (n = 9), DWB20-120L (n = 9). Th…

Improvement of Oxidative Status, Milk and Cheese Production, and Food Sustainability Indexes by Addition of Durum Wheat Bran to Dairy Cows’ Diet

2019

Durum wheat bran (DWB) is a by-product mostly used in feeding ruminants, contributing to decrease in the utilization of feeds suitable as foods for human consumption, thus improving the sustainability of livestock production. However, the potential benefits of DWB, due to its content in phenolic acids, mainly consisting of ferulic acid with antioxidant properties, have not been well clarified yet. Accordingly, in this experiment, 36 lactating cows divided into three groups received, over a period of 100 days, one of three concentrates including DWB at 0% (DWB0), 10% (DWB10), or 20% (DWB20). The concentrates were formulated to be isoproteic and isoenergetic and, to balance the higher fiber c…

Wheat bran as dietary tool to improve dairy production, oxidative status of lactating cows and food sustainability indexes.

2017

Wheat bran (WB), an inexpensive by-product widely available in southern Italy, is largely used as component of feed for ruminants, contributing to decrease the use of food suitable for human consumption, thus to improve the sustainability of livestock production. However, the potential benefits of WB, due to its content in polyphenolic compounds, mainly consisted of ferulic acid, in improving rumen conditions and the antioxidant balance of animals, and also providing animal products with functional properties, are not yet well known. Accordingly, this experiment was carried out for 100 days with 36 lactating Italian Simmental cows divided into 3 groups receiving one of 3 concentrates includ…

First record and morphological features of Hemidiaptomus (Occidodiaptomus) ingens (Gurney, 1909) (Copepoda Calanoida) in Italy

2004

During a survey, carried out to assess the consistency of microcrustacean fauna inhabiting temporary ponds in Sicily, Hemidiaptomus (Occidodiaptomus) ingens (Gurney, 1909), a large calanoid copepod up to now known only for North-African ponds, Camargue and Corse, was found in the north-western part of the island. Due to its central location in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily represents a transition zone where several chorological zones of the West Palearctic merge and converge. A brief summary of the existing literature regarding this taxon is given with some morphological considerations on the recently found population which represents the first record for Italy. In particular, the morpholog…

L'IDENTITA' DI VIA ALLORO INCISA IN UNA TARGA

2007

Ci sono alcune strade che, pur allungando il tragitto, non si rinuncia la piacere di percorrere. Per strani e non indispensabili motivi: ascoltare le note che escono dalle finestre del conservatorio, annusare l'odore di pulito di alcuni vicoli del centro storico, toccare i carnosi fiori del capok che a settembre cospargono i marciapiedi della città universitaria, guardare, scendendo lungo il Cassaro, il felliniano passaggio della nave che a una certa ora, inquadrata tra i piloni, fa da fondale a Porta Felice.

Die Kammer der Erinnerung. Il cimitero di guerra germanico a Motta Sant’Anastasia di Diez Brandi

2017

Unico in Sicilia e tra i pochi dell’Italia meridionale, il Cimitero di guerra germanico di Motta Sant’Anastasia, realizzato tra il 1960 e il settembre del 1965 per iniziativa dell’associazione nazionale Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge (VDK), è stato progettato dall’architetto tedesco Diez Brandi, allievo e assistente di Paul Schmitthenner (1884-1972), esponente emergente di quella parte tradizionalista dell’architettura tedesca del Novecento che strumentalmente è stata trascurata dalla storiografia contemporanea. L’idea progettuale di Brandi è quella di un grande recinto rettangolare (44 x 30 mt), dall’aspetto esteriore di un poderoso, invalicabile fortilizio, suddiviso in sei camer…
