Effects of supplementing oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) leaf methanolic extracts on rumen fermentation and meat quality of boer goats by Al-Jumaili, Wisam Salim Rasheed

“…Therefore, production of meats with healthier fatty acid profiles that are also environmentally sustainable, is of major interest to the meat industry. Oil palm fronds (OPF) have been used in ruminant feeds as a source of roughage. …”

Granular formulation of endophytic fungus, Hendersonia toruloidea GanoEF1 for controlling Ganoderma disease and promoting oil palm growth by Ramli, Nur Rashyeda

“…The effect of the formulations on plant growth showed the seedlings treated with H. toruloidea GanoEF1 in EFB-PKC gave significantly (P<0.05) highest results on plant height (98.61 cm), girth (38.7 mm), number of frond (11.0), chlorophyll content (60.85 µg/L), root biomass (42.5 g) and leaves biomass (70.1 g) respectively, followed by seedlings treated with granular formulation of EFB-K, RB-PKC and control treatment. …”

Improvement of agrobiomass quality and lovastatin production for inhibition of methanogenesis by Aspergillus terreus by Jahromi, Mohammad Faseleh

“…The potential of two strains of A. terreus (ATCC 20542 and ATCC 74135) to produce lovastatin in solid state fermentation (SSF) using rice straw (RS) and oil palm frond (OPF) as substrates was investigated. Results of this study showed that RS was a better substrate than OPF for lovastatin production (with maximum production of 157.07 mg/kg DM using A. terreus ATCC 74135) and reduction of cellulose and hemicellulose content. …”

Urinary Purine Derivatives as Index for Estimation of Ruminal Microbial Nitrogen Production in Sheep and Goats by Jetana, Thongsuk

“…The animals were fed a diet consisting of 40% oil palm frond and 60% concentrate (OPFC). Four sheep (40.232.8kg) and four goats (39.6f1.8 kg) were used to measure urinary PD excretion at 40%, 60%, 80% and 95% of voluntary intake (VI). …”
