[Method] Using ultrasonic extraction, 5 kinds of different polarity solvents were used to prepare the extracts from walnut green husk. The toxicity and antifeedant activity on wheat aphid were determined, [ Result ] Walnut green husk extracts in the solvent of ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate had higher toxicity and antifeedant activity on wheat aphid. When the concentration was 100 mg/ml, after 24 h, the toxicity and antifeedant activity of three kinds extracts on wheat aphid were greater than 84.35% and 66.98%, respectively. After 48 h, the toxicity and antifeedant activity were greater than 85.91% and 79.34%, respectively. Among 5 kinds extracts,ethanol extracts had the highest toxicity and antifeedant activity on wheat aphid. After 24 h, the corrected mortality rate was 93.64% and the antifeedant rate was 83.61%. After 48 h,the corrected mortality rate was 94.95% and antifeedant rate was 92.21%. Petroleum ether extract had the smallest toxicity and antifeedant activity on wheat aphid. After 24 h,the corrected mortality rate and antifeedant rate were 19.54% and 34.65%, respectively. After 48 h,the corrected mortality rate and antifeedant rate were 20.13% and 39. 03%, respectively. [ Conclsion] The extracts from walnut green husk with larger polarity solvent had better toxicity and higher antifeedant activity on wheat aphid.展开更多

Therefore, the utilization of agricultural by product is one of the safe ways to attempt this goal. For this end, a study on the level of incorporation of cocoa pod husk on growth performance, haematological and biochemical parameters were carried out. A total of 80 young rabbits composed of 40 males and 40 females with an average weight of 824.30 ± 53.8 g and 826.09 ± 40.61g respectively. There were randomly assigned to 5 experimental rations in a complete randomized designed with 8 rabbits per treatment and each rabbit served as experimental unit. From the control ration R (0-);0% cocoa pod husks and R (0+);20% of untreated hulls, 3 other rations of which three (R1, R2, R3) were formulated with respectively 20%, 25%, and 30% husks treated with ash from bean haulms at concentrations of 12.5 kg/100 litters of water. The results revealed that the initial weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, were not significantly affected (p > 0.05) by the different treatments. However, total weight gain, daily weight gains and final body weight of rabbit fed R1 ration were significantly (p < 0.05) higher (1973.77;23.49;2794.60 g respectively) as compare to other treatment irrespective of sex. Analysis of variance generally revealed a significant effect (p < 0.05) on fasting body weight (2447.43;2476.22;2687.99;2512.52;2425.89 g respectively for rations R0-, R0+, R1, R2 and R3), carcass weight (1270.84 g) and carcass yield (52.37%) was lower for animals feed R3 ration regardless of sex. On the other hand, no significant difference (P > 0.05) was observed in the relative weights of some parts, organs and those of the abdominal fat of the rabbits. Similarly, no significant difference (P > 0.05) was observed for haematological and biochemical parameters studied. Cocoa pod husks treated at 12.5% with bean haulm ash extracts can be incorporated up to 20% - 25% to improve growth performance of rabbits without any negative effect on their health.展开更多
