Composition of the carbonyl compounds of extraction cottonseed meal
SummaryOn the basis of a quantitative analysis of the volatile carbonyl compounds present in acetone-treated meal it has been shown that they contain a total of about 11 compounds, the main ones of which are acetone and mesityl oxide.It has been established that the moist heat treatment of extraction meal does not lead to the complete elimination of these compounds, and under severe conditions it actually leads to an increase in the amount of carbonyl compounds through degradation of, mainly, the fatty fraction of the meal.The amount of assimilable lysine in the meal decreases simultaneously.
Reaktionen an Aluminiumoxiden. 1. Mitt.: Umsetzungen von Aceton an Aluminiumoxiden
Die Umsetzungsraten von Aceton (1) an verschiedenen Aluminiumoxiden wurden bei unterschiedlichen Bedingungen untersucht. Die auftretenden Stoffe wurden durch Vergleichssubstanzen identifiziert und durch Dünnschicht‐ und Gas‐Flüssig‐Chromatographie nachgewiesen.
Pig Vocalizations Under Selected Husbandry Practices
Acoustical characteristics of vocalizations of sows, piglets, and nursery pigs under selected husbandry practices were analyzed with a digital signal processing system. The duration (D) and major energy-resonance frequency (P) for each call were determined as follows: a) processing of piglets (D = 0.81 s and f* = 3 700 Hz); b) food anticipation of breeding-gest ation sows (2.50 s and 3 000 Hz); c) isolation of piglet (0.34 s and 500, 3 500 Hz); d) startling of nursery pigs (0.29 s and 900 Hz); e) sows in heat (3.07 s and 1 375 Hz); f) farrowing (0.10 s and 3 000 Hz); g) sow nursing (0.15 s and 1 000 Hz); and h) mate greeting of sow (0.13 s and 1 000 Hz). Calls a) to d) are responses to human generated stressors, and calls e) through h) responses to social and physiological states of the pigs. Thus, vocalizations can be segmented for different pig production situations.
