Grass is a natural source of nutrition for a horse. Equine nutrition is the feeding of horses, ponies, mules, donkeys, and other equines. Correct and balanced nutrition is a critical component of proper horse care. Horses are non-ruminant herbivores of a type known as a "hindgut fermenter." Horses have only one stomach, as do humans.
In the cross flow dryer, the airstream is perpendicular to the grain flow. Then the grain near the drying air is over dried, while on the other side, grain is under dried. Moisture gradient exists when drying is complete. In reality, the lower the airflow rate, the higher the grain moisture content variation between two sides of the column. [11]
Currently, there are three main empirical models which are used to calculate the grinding work required relative to grain size and quantity. The Kick model may be utilized for grains with diameters greater than 50 mm; the Bond model for grain diameter between 0.05 mm – 50 mm; the Von Rittinger model for grain less than 0.05 mm.
Higher moisture feed grains do not serve as suitable collateral for nonrecourse loans. However, the 1996 farm bill (P.L. 104–127) first made, and the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 101–171, Sec. 1209) continued, the policy of making recourse loans available to producers of high moisture corn and grain sorghum.
Field corn is a North American term for maize (Zea mays) grown for livestock fodder (silage and meal), ethanol, cereal, and processed food products.The principal field corn varieties are dent corn, flint corn, flour corn (also known as soft corn) which includes blue corn (Zea mays amylacea), [1] and waxy corn.
The moisture content of grains is an essential property in food storage. The moisture content that is safe for long-term storage is 12% for corn, sorghum, rice and wheat and 11% for soybean [1] At a constant relative humidity of air, the EMC will drop by about 0.5% for every increase of 10 °C air temperature. [2]
The timing of application is crucial as the moisture content of the grain must be below 30% for the yield of the crop to be unaffected and to minimize uptake of glyphosate by the grain. [23] Yield may be affected and residues increased if applications are made to uneven fields in which some areas have a moisture content over 30%.
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is the ratio of inputs to outputs; it is the inverse of "feed efficiency" which is the ratio of outputs to inputs. [2] FCR is widely used in hog and poultry production, while FE is used more commonly with cattle. [2]
