Computational fluid dynamics assessment of natural ventilation in three types of large-scale broiler poultry houses in Botswana
(Elservier, 2025-03-07)Effects of house design, orientation, and regional location on the natural ventilation of commercial, large-scale broiler poultry houses in the North-eastern and South-eastern farming regions of Botswana were assessed at ... -
Determination of some engineering properties of morama bean (Tylosema esculentum)
(CIGR Journal, 2014-09-30)The morama bean (Tylosema esculentum) is an underutilised legume native to the Kalahari region of Southern Africa. Some engineering properties relevant to the mechanisation of its processing have been characterised, namely; ... -
Determination of Sorghum Grain Shape using Image Processing
(BIE Biennial Conference, 2013-10)Sorghum grain sphericity, aspect ratio and shape factor were determined from dimensional measurements by image processing and compared to measurements made manually for three sorghum varieties grown in Botswana (Segaolane, ... -
Effect of Housing Design and Location on Production and Economic Performance of Broiler Chickens during Summer in Botswana
(Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science., 2023-04-11)Botswana experiences long, hot summer periods which negatively affect broiler productivity and results in economic losses. To determine these negative effects, two parallel broiler production studies were conducted in the ... -
Effects of microwave heating on textural properties of morama (Tylosema esculentum) beans
(Academic Journals, 2025-04)Morama beans were heated for 60, 90, and 120 s at 200, 600, and 1000 W using a domestic microwave oven to assess their potential as a pre-decortication treatment and to evaluate the effects on peak force, work, and modulus ... -
Physical and mechanical properties of morula (Sclerocarya birrea subsp. Caffra) nuts.
(Int. Comm. of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, 2023-06-28)Morula nuts were characterized for several physical and mechanical properties relevant to food process engineering. Mean moisture content of the nuts which had been naturally dried under the sun was 7.65% (w.b.). Mean nut ... -
Sensory and Nutritional Quality of Cookies Supplemented with Wheat Bran and Lerotse (Citrullus lanatusvar.citroides) Pulp from Botswana
(Asian Food Science Journal, 2025-06-03)Lerotse or Kalahari melons which are usually planted as ground cover in crop fields in Botswana are rich in potassium, carotenoids and citrulline. However, they are undervalued and often go to waste. As a strategy of value ...
