Residues of Thiamethoxam and Chlorantraniliprole in Rice Grain

“…It is important to analyze pesticide residues not only on the rice grain itself but also on rice subproducts such as rice bran, which can be used in whole rice 38 and animal feed. 39,40 Overall, the results of these studies show variation in the presence of pesticide residues in rice grain, likely due to environmental factors that can interact and interfere with the persistence of pesticides. The literature presents several hypotheses regarding what may influence the persistence of pesticides in food, and many such reasons are not fully understood due to the characteristics of the active ingredients, 41,42 the moment of application, 43 solar radiation, temperature, 44 and the persistence of pesticides in plants.…”

“…However, knowledge pertaining to the long-term effects of pesticides in human health is still very restricted, but indicates that its effects may be associated with several health problems. − The literature presents several studies related to pesticide residues in food; however, there is little information on the use of insecticides in rice fields and its persistence in the grains. It is important to analyze pesticide residues not only on the rice grain itself but also on rice subproducts such as rice bran, which can be used in whole rice and animal feed. , Overall, the results of these studies show variation in the presence of pesticide residues in rice grain, likely due to environmental factors that can interact and interfere with the persistence of pesticides.

The response of pigs to diets containing varying levels of cocoa placenta meal (CPM) supplemented with an exogenous enzyme complex

“…Much consideration has been drawn to the use of cheaper and less demanded alternatives such as Agro-Industrial by-products and non-conventional feed resources (NCFRs) in the feeding of livestock (Obirikorang et al, 2015) as a result of high cost of conventional feed ingredients. Agro-industrial by-products such as dried brewers spent grains (DBSG), cocoa pod husk (CPH), rice bran, and other NCFRs have been evaluated in Ghana as potential feed ingredients for non-ruminant farm animals (Atuahene et al, 2000;Donkoh et al, 2013;Nortey et al, 2015). Moreover, some research done on these products have proved that their use in animals' diets often reduce feed cost (Okai, 1998).…”
