Effective Reduction of Emissions of a DI Diesel Engine fuelled with Biodiesel and Diesel Blends with Oxygenated Additives
Abstract: Fatty acid methyl ester, popularly called biodiesel, has become more prominent alternate fuel for diesel engines on the basis of single-fuel concept. Since use of neat biodiesel on a large scale is raising certain constraints, both in terms of long-term availability of feed stock, fertile land and high NOx emissions, biodiesel is being adopted in blended form with petro-diesel fuel as B20 or B40. However, the HC and NOx emissions …

Enhancing Fiber-Digestibility in Dairy Cows: Influence of Dietary, Management, and Environmental Factors
Abstract: The digestibility of fiber in dairy cows is a critical factor for optimizing their nutritional efficiency and overall productivity. This study explores the key dietary, management, and environmental factors influencing fiber-digestibility in the rumen. Various aspects of feed composition, such as fiber content, protein-to-fiber ratio, and the presence of anti-nutritional factors, play a significant role in determining microbial activity and rumen fermentation efficiency. Physical feed characteristics, including particle size, feed …
