Two types of whey were used, salted whey from Domiati cheese manufacture and ultrafiltrated sweet whey from Ras cheese. Whey protein concentrates were produced by precipitation the salted (SWPC) and UF sweet whey (UFWPC) at 90°C / 20 min., and then freeze dried. The prepared whey protein concentrates were treated with trypsin enzyme at concentrations of 0.15, 0.3 and 0.5 g enzyme per 100 g protein. The results showed that the hydrolysis of whey protein concentrates had insignificant effect on the moisture, fat, ash and lactose, while the total nitrogen content and the degree of degradation significantly increased by increasing the concentration of the enzyme. Water and fat absorption capacities were increased by increasing the enzyme concentration and were higher in UFWPC. Emulsification capacity, foaming properties and the ability to form gel were improved by increasing the concentration of the enzyme. Yoghurt was manufactured using the two types of hydrolyzed whey protein concentrates. The replacement of skim milk powder (SMP) with hydrolyzed WPC increased TS, TN and ash content compared to control. Curd syneresis significantly decreased (p≤0.05) in all treatments compared to control, however treatments with UFWPC exhibited the lowest values. The substitution of 50% and 75 % skim milk powder (SMP) with SWPC and UFWPC in order, had no effect on sensory properties of the yogurt.https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_15613_cb90e8e47a4f09e8a268f59f9ce891e8.pdfThe National Information and Documentation Centre (NIDOC), Academy of Scientific Research and Technology(ASRT)Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Sciences2536-957144320180901Effect of Dietary Probiotic and Citric Acid Addition on Broiler Chicks Performance during Fattening Period1231331971810.21608/jsas.2018.5292.1101ENAwad LotfiAwadagriculture research centerTageldin HassanTageldinDamietta Unv.Omar AliMohamed Eidکلية الزراعة جامعة دمياطJournal Article20180926A total of 360 IR broiler chickens used at hatch, weighed and partitioned into equal six experimental groups each of three replicates to investigate the effect of dietary probiotics (PB), citric acid salt (CA) and their mixture addition on productive and physiological parameters at fattening period . Chicks in first group fed experimental diets without any supplement as a control, second group fed diets supplemented with 0.05% PB, third and fourth groups fed diets supplemented with 0.25 and 0.50% CA, respectively, while fifth and sixth groups fed diets supplemented with mixture from PB and 0.25 or 0.50% CA, respectively during experimental period (at hatch up to42 day of age). The results indicated that growth performance traits not significantly influenced by PB and CA addition except for feed intake which significantly (P≤0.05) improved by 0.25% CA than the control. All nutrients digestibility were significantly improved with supplementing CA alone to the diets except for crude fiber. Chicks fed PB or CA and their combination had higher hemoglobin, red and white blood cells count and lymphocytes (L %) than the control, however, heterophils (%) and H/L ratio were significantly decreased. Serum cholesterol and triglycerides were insignificantly decreased by dietary treatments. Economic efficiency was improved for all treated groups than the control. So that, supplementing citric acid by 0.25% alone or in the combination with probiotic (0.05%) to broiler diets could be used to improve growth and physiological performance as well as economic efficiency during fattening period.https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_19718_2fd17ec00460ee0010f5ef8863e2bf93.pdfThe National Information and Documentation Centre (NIDOC), Academy of Scientific Research and Technology(ASRT)Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Sciences2536-957144320180901Economic Study of The Most Important Determinants of Agricultural Development in Egypt67761259810.21608/jsas.2018.4157.1077ENMahmoudFawazAgricultural Economic Dept., Faculty of Agriculture, Kafrelsheikh UniversityKarima SayedAhmedAgricultural Economic Institute, Agricultural Research CenterAyaZafaanAgricultural Economic Dept., Faculty of Agriculture, Kafrelsheikh UniversityJournal Article20180622The State strives to develop the agricultural sector through four axes: horizontal expansion, increasing the vertical productivity of the unit of area and intensification of crop and production of economic crops for export. The problem of research is that the modest rates of agricultural investment. The research relied on descriptive and quantitative analysis, The most important research results were the estimation of the most important indicators of agricultural development in Egypt, such as: Agricultural Investment Rate: The engineering average reached about 0.07 billion pounds during the period of study, - The rate of agricultural intensification, where the engineering average was about 1.77 million feddans during the study period, - The share of agricultural worker of the cultivated area was the engineering average About 1.54million feddans during the study period, - the agricultural worker's share of the cropping area, the engineering average reached about 2.63 million the agricultural average reached about 1398.8 million workers during the study period. The productivity of the agricultural worker reached about 10807.7, with an engineering average of about 20334.65 million workers during the study period. On agricultural investment, where the engineering medium reached about 9.11 billion The measurement of the determinants of agricultural development in Egypt using the Nerloff model and the estimate of the partial adjustment coefficient (λ) was found to be about 0.951 indicating that a large part of the gap between the actual and desired situation is closed within one time period. The most important factors affecting agricultural development through the index of average per capita agricultural income (y) was agricultural credit, Agricultural exports, Agricultural taxes.https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_12598_2b2fd883217ca03a9e396777ae5e1d7e.pdfThe National Information and Documentation Centre (NIDOC), Academy of Scientific Research and Technology(ASRT)Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Sciences2536-957144320180901Rural Women Knowledge of The Agricultural Extension Recommendations for The Prevention of Dairy Cattle from Some Infectious Diseases in Kafr El Sheikh77931561210.21608/jsas.2018.4702.1083ENNoha EHassanAgricultural Researcher Center (ARC), Agricultural Extension & Rural Development Research InstituteSomaya AliElewadyHead of Extension Section - Veterinary Medicine Directorate of Kafr El SheikhJournal Article20180804The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge of rural women by the agricultural extension recommendations for the prevention of dairy cattle in some villages of Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate from some infectious diseases i.e., foot and mouth disease, lumpy skin disease, mastitis, and contagious abortion (brucellosis). Three villages i.e., Al Abasia (99 respondents), Kafr Magar (65 respondents), and Kom Al Hajana (50 respondents) from Kafr El-Sheikh governorate were selected based on the number of dairy cattle breeders to carry out the study. The personal questionnaire sheets were used to collect the field data. Different statistical methods were used to present the significantly differences between the mean scores of the respondents. Our results conclude that about 51 % of the total respondents have been characterized by a low level of total knowledge by the technical recommendation for the prevention of the dairy cattle from the foot and mouth disease. About 56 % of the total respondents have been characterized by a medium level of total knowledge by the technical recommendation for the prevention of the dairy cattle from the mastitis disease. About 44 % of the total respondents have been characterized by a medium level of total knowledge by the technical recommendation for the prevention of the dairy cattle from the lumpy skin disease. About 54 % of the total respondents have been characterized by a medium level of total knowledge by the technical recommendation for the prevention of the dairy cattle from the contagious abortion (brucellosis) disease.https://jsas.journals.ekb.eg/article_15612_c93d2b90318659b4dcb5caff63e9843e.pdfThe National Information and Documentation Centre (NIDOC), Academy of Scientific Research and Technology(ASRT)Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Sciences2536-957144320180901Studying Agricultural Information Sources for Extension Agents in Plant Production Field at El-Behira Governorate951071422110.21608/jsas.2018.4781.1085ENMahmoudMenisyUniversity of Kafr El Sheikh - Faculty of Agriculture - Department of Agricultural Economics - Agricultural Extension DivisionAdel IbrahimElhamolyAgricultural Economic Dept., Agr.
