Partial replacement of soybean with local alternative sources: effects on behavior, cecal microbiota, and intestinal histomorphometry of local chickens by Sezen Özkan, Veysel Bay, Muazzez Cömert Acar, Servet Yalcın

“…This study aimed to evaluate the effects of broiler diets in which soybean meal was partially substituted with agri-industrial by-products with or without BSF larvae meal, on the behavior, intestinal histomorphometry, and microbiome profile of a local broiler chicken strain. There were three dietary treatments. (1) A corn-soybean-based diet (Control), (2) a diet in which soybean was partly replaced (SPR) with local agri-industrial by-products, namely sunflower meal, brewers' dried grain, and wheat middlings, and (3) a diet in which BSF (5%) meal was added to SPR (SPR+BSF). …”

Analysis of the Progressively Enhanced Mine Pressure in the Fully Mechanized Top Coal Caving Work Face of a 20 m Ultra-Thick Coal Seam by Shi Jiulin, Yan Shaohong, Xu Zhuhe, Xue Jisheng, Kaikai Zhao, Zheng Jianwei

“…The following can be demonstrated from this study: (1) The hard strata can form three different compound spatial structures at different positions in the overlying rock strata, including the lower combined cantilever structure I, the middle combined cantilever structure II, and the upper hinged structure. (2) Failure of the higher structure can induce compression on the lower structure, which changed the break span of the lower structure. (3) “Simultaneous and nonsimultaneous structural failures” of the compound spatial structure were caused by the variation of the break span of the multilayered structure. (4) Based on the weighting characteristics, there were three stages during work face weighting, including a gradual pressure increase stage (Stage I), an accelerated pressure increase stage (Stage II), and a fast pressure increase stage (Stage III). (5) The mine pressure occurrence demonstrated a “small to medium and to large” feature. (6) Prefracturing techniques should be additionally incorporated to prevent simultaneous failure of the multilayered structure. …”
