RIULS

Repository of Iasi University of Life Sciences, ROMANIA

Welcome to RIULS!

The mission of the University’s institutional repository is to manage, preserve and disseminate, in open access, the academic and institutional output of the university’s academic community. It also aims to promote values and personalities belonging to Romanian agricultural science, by storing digitized versions of rare books and manuscripts from its collections.

The repository is part of the international movement known as open science, which promotes free access to scientific literature. This translates into maximized impact of the work carried out by researchers, contribution to improving access to knowledge, increased visibility of the institution through the works of its authors and improvement of its search engine ranking.

All documents deposited in the repository receive a unique and persistent identifier called a Handle, thus guaranteeing perpetual access to scientific output through permanent links.

RIULS Repository of Iași University of Life Sciences is indexed in Duraspace, OpenDOAR,CORE,Google Scholar,BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) and ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories), global Directories of Open Access Repositories.

    Sensorial evaluation of meat gathered from slow growing hen hybrids
    (“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Irimia Gavrilescu, Carmen; Druc Gafencu, Paula-Viorela; Raţu, Roxana-Nicoleta; Usturoi, Alexandru; Usturoi, Marius-Giorgi
    Sensorial appreciations were carried out by a specialized team of tasters, through specific methods for those type of evaluation. Were utilised meat samples gathered from pectoral musculature from three hen hybrids (Ross-308, Hubbard and HB Color) reared in extensive system (shelters with free access to external paddocks) and slaughtered at different ages (56, 63 and 81 days). Meat of Hubbard hybrid received the highest scores for tenderness (4.68-4.75 points), aroma and savour (4.93-4.96 points) and for consistency (4.73-4.78 points), and the one from Ross-308 for succulence (4.13-4.33 points). The lowest scores were obtained by meat from HB Color in case of tenderness (3.63-3.68 points) and succulence (3.05-3.25 points) and respectively, at the one from Ross-308 for aroma and savoury (4.23-4.53 points) and consistency (3.60-3.70 points). Regarding the influence of slaughtering age on sensorial features of meat was observed that increasing of poultry growing period diminished the score given for three analysed, with the exception of aroma and savour which became more intense while chickens advanced in age. The conclusion of the current study was the rusticity of hybrids with slow growing allow to obtain a meat with superior sensorial features than the one gathered from industrial type hybrids, a special being given to Hubbard hybrid.

    Performances of some hen broilers in conditions of a slow growing application in extensive system and with slaughtering at different ages
    (“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Irimia Gavrilescu, Carmen; Druc Gafencu, Paula-Viorela; Raţu, Roxana-Nicoleta; Usturoi, Alexandru; Usturoi, Marius-Giorgi
    Research was carried out on three meat hen hybrids (one for industrial rearing: Ross-308 and two with slow growing: Hubbard and HB Color), reared in extensive system, in shelters opened to external paddocks. Speaking about growing rhythm, the best results were obtained at Ross-308 chickens (mean gain of 39.11-41.82 g/head/day), higher with 2.05-21.43% than at HB Color and with 1.62-16.14% than at Hubbard, with the mention that at growing series till 56 days Hubbard chickens overcome the Ross-308 ones with 0.5%. The final weight was 2.25-3.28 kg at Ross-308, higher with 0.44-12.19% than at Hubbard and with 2.75-21.64% face to HC Color. The best total fodder consumption was also at Ross-308 (5257-7319 g m.f./period), and the most inconvenient one was at HB Color (5439-7945 g m.f./period). Conversely, Ross-308 chickens had the highest mortality rate (9.04-12.021%), higher with 6.71-8.11% than Hubbard and with 2.69-4.29% than HB Color. Our conclusion was that only Hubbard hybrid realised production parameters close to the ones mentioned in rearing guide, and optimal slaughtering age of chickens with slow growing is 63 days

    Research regarding texture of wild boar meat (Sus scrofa ferus) from Frasin area, Suceava
    (“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Munteanu, M.; Ciobanu, Marius-Mihai; Postolache, Alina-Narcisa; Boişteanu, Paul-Corneliu
    Meat provided from hunted species represent a nourishment alternative into a continuous expansiveness due to high nutritive properties, particular taste and continuous interest of husbandry industry, as well as consumers, for diversification (exploitation) of hunting resources at industrial level. So, the present research aimed to realise an intrinsic exploration of properties of meat gathered from hunted species which are specific to Romania, aiming to create a solid scientific base at national level for effectiveness of a correct information and realization of an accurate general picture on textural profile for this meat. To achieve the proposed target, determinations were carried out on a total number of 11 adult wild boar individuals (6 males and 5 females), gathered during some hunting parties organized in N-E area of Romania (Suceava Forestry Department, Frasin hunting fund). Inter-muscular variations of Warner Bratzler forces were described by great amplitude of data, being into interval 14.88 ÷ 86.63 N/cm2. So, mean tenderness of wild boar meat show for studies muscular samples a penetration force at breaking up of meat portion which varied into an interval inferiorly defined by 34.95±1.86 N/cm2 (m. Longissimus dorsi at females) and superiorly by 50.88±2.923 N/cm2 (m. Triceps brachii at males). By statistical analysis of existent differences, inside muscular group, between males and females for Warner Bratzler forces values were observed insignificant differences 75% from the total of effectuated tests.

    Aspects on education and training of young people through transdisciplinary educational projects
    (“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2019) Brezuleanu, Carmen-Olguța; Cantea Brezuleanu, Mădălina-Maria
    The educational system must guarantee access for all young people to education and training, adapted to the economic realities. In this sense, transdisciplinary approach is centred on the realities of contemporary society, regarding the relevant issues of real life and how it is affected people's life. In particular, it tries to understand and to resolve the complex problems of the challenges. Educational project in the transdisciplinary approach it is a modern method of teaching-learning used in agronomic education. It stimulates creative students involved in the project through the development of critical thinking, helping them in: decision making, self organizing and self-assessment of individual resources, adopting positive attitudes in acquiring cognitive and trans-curricular skills. Educational project in transdisciplinary for agronomic education approach is focused on active learning, a method which creates observable behaviors such as: behaviors that indicate active participation, creative thinking, applied learning, involvement in building knovledge. Active learning became more interesting, stimulating, significant and students participate during whole activity, being stimulated cooperation and creativity. Aims of more disciplines agri- food, planned in the same week are reached during daily activities which includes fragments from those disciplines into a single generic and it is facilitate a good quality knowledge acquisition, which will be remembered for a long time. Real problems from daily life could be solved much easier by pupils and students, no matter the complexity degree, due to achievement of knowledge, abilities and competences which couldn’t be separated by one or another discipline.
