The Oil-Bearing Strata of Permian Deposits of the Ashal’cha Oil Field Depending on the Content, Composition, and Thermal Effects of Organic Matter Oxidation in the Rocks by Galina P. Kayukova, Anastasiya N. Mikhailova, Igor P. Kosachev, Dmitry A. Emelyanov, Mikhail A. Varfolomeev, Boris V. Uspensky, Alexey V. Vakhin

“…These processes lead to a decrease in the amount of OM in the rocks and an increase in the content of resins and asphaltenes in the oil extracted from them, as well as an increase in the viscosity of the oil. Using the method of differential scanning calorimetry of high pressure, it was found that the studied rock samples differ from each other in quantitative characteristics of exothermic effects in both low-temperature (LTO) 200-350°С and high-temperature (HTO) 350-600°С zones of OM oxidation. …”

Partial replacement of soybean meal with cottonseed meal in diets of broiler chicken sustains performance by upregulating the expression of nutrient transporter genes in small inte... by S. Haldar, S.S. Arora, A.K. Dhara, A. Debnath

“…Replacing up to 15 % of SBM in the diets of the experimental chickens with the HF-CSM had an insignificant (P > 0.05) effect on BW, FCR, or European Productivity Index at the time of harvest (42 d), and the 10 % replacement of SBM with HF-CSM (equivalent to 2.5 % inclusion of HF-CSM in the total ration) had effects similar to the all-SBM diet. Viscosity of jejunal digesta increased with the inclusion level of HF-CSM in diet when measured at 24 d (P = 0.048, linear effect) and 48 d (P = 0.001, quadratic effect). …”
