“…Zadrazil (1980) showed that P. sajor-caju has a very high saprophytic colonizing ability and can degrade wheat straw efficiently. Croan (2000) reported the use of wood waste to cultivate wood-inhabiting ligninolytic white-rot basidiomycetes of genus Pleurotus. In our study, the dry matter loss was observed to be in agreement with the mushroom yield and biological efficiency.…”

Molasses-based distilleries produce large quantities of dark coloured effluent, which is a major cause of environmental pollution. An experiment was conducted to investigate the efficacy of distillery effluent amendment for edible mushroom production. Three species of oyster mushroom, namely Pleurotus florida Eger (EM 1303), Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fries) Quelet (EM 1302) and Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fries) Singer (EM 1304) were grown on wheat straw (variety UP 2338) and bagasse amended with post-anaerobic distillery effluent, a high organic load wastewater with high biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand. Three different levels of effluent treatment were applied to bagasse and wheat straw. Wheat straw was found to be the preferred substrate and showed better results than bagasse in all treatments with respect to yield, biological efficiency (BE) and dry matter loss. P. florida (EM 1303) and P. pulmonarius (EM 1302) gave significantly enhanced yield with increasing levels of effluent, with BE reaching highest at 238.6% for P. florida (EM 1303). Using bagasse as a substrate, P. sajor-caju (EM 1304) and P. pulmonarius (EM 1302) exhibited a decreasing trend as compared to control. However, the effect of effluent concentrations did not influence yield and BE significantly in case of bagasse. The dry matter loss of the substrate varied from 9.4% to 53.4% in wheat straw and 17.5% to 45.2% in bagasse respectively.

“…Apart from pollution caused by burning, it possesses threat to livestock, humans and a distortion in the ecological balance. At the same time, there is an increasing global demand for energy and food, and a growing shortage of natural resources (Croan, 2000). Grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) are grown all over the world's moderate climate belts (isotherms around10-20°C), i.e., between 30°C and 50°C produce considerable quantities of by-products.…”

his study was conducted to evaluate changes in productive performance, in terms of milk yield and its composition, of lactating Damascus goats, resulted of feeding three rations. The three respective rations composed of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) + olive trees byproducts, the control ration (R1) contained untreated olive tree by-products; (R2) treated olive trees by-products with EM1 (product of EMRO Organization in Japan) and (R3) treated olive trees byproducts with El-mofeed. Eighteen lactating Damascus goats (within three seasons of lactation) aged 24-30 months, weighed 37.20±0.2 kg and were in 2 nd-3 rd season of lactation were distributed according to their live body weight and milk production into three similar groups, (6 goats each). The experiment lasted for 120 days after the does weaned their offspring. Milk yield was significantly (P<0.05) higher with groups treated olive trees by-products with EM1 and El-mofeed than untreated ones. Averages of DM, TDN and DCP intakes were the highest with R2, compared with the other tested rations. Feed conversion value expressed as (kg TDN/ kg milk) was practically similar for both R2 and R3 rations being lower than that of the R1 rations. The feed conversion values expressed as (g DCP/ kg milk) recorded the best values being 76.03, 83.95 and 96.98 g/kg milk for R2, R3 and R1, respectively. The results of blood serum parameters showed insignificantly (P>0.05) values of total protein, albumin and globulin, cholesterol, triglyceride, total antioxidant capacity and urea concentrations. It could be concluded that biological treatments (EM1) and chemical treatments (Elmofeed) to rations of lactating Damascus goats improved milk yield, milk composition and feed conversion.

“…Furthermore, this edible and medicinal mushroom is able to break down lignin and other aromatic compounds, since it produces enzymes such as laccase (Lac), manganese oxidizing peroxidase (Mn-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and versatile peroxidase (VP)) and aryl-alcohol oxidase (AAO) (Munoz et al, 1997). These enzymes allow P. pulmonarius to be easily grown on various lignocellulosic materials which include paper materials, sawdust and agricultural wastes material (Croan, 2000). Substrates for mushroom growth may be divided into those regarded as major materials (lignocellulose source) and those regarded as supplementary materials (nitrogen and minerals sources) (Zhang, 2005).…”

Performance of Pleurotus pulmonarius mushroom grown on maize stalk residues supplemented with various levels of maize flour and wheat bran

The use of supplemented agricultural waste in mushroom cultivation can be one of the environmentally friendly strategies for poverty alleviation. The study evaluated the performance of Pleurotus pulmonarius mushroom grown on maize stalk supplemented with varying levels of wheat bran (WB) and maize flour (MF). A completely random design was used for the experiments. It was observed that Pleurotus pulmonarius was significantly affected by varying levels of supplementation, as 20% WB supplementation encountered higher contamination. The lower supplementation levels gave significantly shorter colonisation period with better mycelial growth rate (MGR). The 2% MF, 2% WB and 4% WB gave significantly higher MGR and faster colonisation. The shortest pinning time (TP) was observed at the first flush with the minimum of 2 days. Higher supplementation levels gave maximum yield and biological efficiency (BE). With further increase of supplementation above a 12% WB and 14% MF, the BE and yield declined. Lower supplementation levels resulted in quicker colonisation period and improved growth rate, whereas high supplementation gave better production in terms of yield and BE. Therefore, for the purpose of maximum production, 12% WB and 14% MF may be recommended while for fast production time, 2% MF and 2% WB are recommended.
