Quantifying the benefit of VIPV

Vehicle integrated photovoltaics: evaluation of the energy yield potential through monitoring and modelling

Electric vehicles are destined to become the main form of people transport in the near future. They are noise and emission free with the potential to offer completely zero-emission use when the energy used to charge their batteries is generated from renewable resources. On-board PV, PV that is integrated into the body of the car is a novel...

Effect of ileo-rectal anastomosis and post-valve T-caecum cannulation on growing pigs: 1. Growth performance, N-balance and intestinal adaptation

The effects of post-valve T-caecum (PVTC) cannulation and end-to-side ileo-rectal anastomosis (IRA) on growth performance, nitrogen retention and intestinal fermentation were measured in growing pigs by comparison with a control group of intact animals. There were no differences between PVTC-pigs and intact pigs in growth performance and N...

Effect of ileo-rectal anastomosis and post-valve T-caecum cannulation on growing pigs: 2. Blood variables and mineral balances

In a long-term study nine ileo-rectally anastomosed (IRA) and seven post-valve T-caecum (PVTC)-cannulated pigs were compared with six intact pigs with regard to different blood variables, sodium and potassium retention and weights of selected organs. After surgery, apart from urea and K measured 13 weeks post-surgery, there were no differences...

Adaptative effects of ileo-rectal anastomosis on digestion in pigs

Comparison of different digesta collection methods to determine the apparent digestibilities of the nutrients at the terminal ileum in pigs

Three different cannulation techniques in pigs were tested with 15 crossbred castrates. Four pigs were fitted with a simple T‐cannula, six pigs with a postvalve T‐caecum cannula (PVTC cannula) and five pigs with ileocaecal reentrant cannulas. Four diets were tested: a conventional diet, a pectin‐rich diet, a crude fibre‐rich diet and a...
