Some Research Achievements of graduates, and Relevance to Promotion of Technology:
- The Viruses PPR, PB, RSV, BHV-1, BVDV, Aden have been discovered in camel limps for the first true in the Sudan. The immune System to these viruses has been clarified. The Viruses PPR has been confirmed as the main agent causing camel lung infections.
- The “Bagara” bulls can be effectively fattened by adding urea to their fodder, being a cheap nitrogen source.
- Bird influenza virus H5N1 was isolated for the first true in the Sudan, from chicken, as a result of country-wide studies.
- Study of Plant cover in southern Kordofan concluded that the bush and grass cover need protection and repartition of trees. The area requires spraying of soil nutrients.
- New varieties of sorghum, resistant to drought were produced.
- Management procedures for control of mesquite trees were suggested.
- Research has shown that seeding of wheat grown in irrigated schemes of clay soil can be reduced from 72kg/hect. to 50 kg/hect.
- Pula, the parasite of sorghum, can be controlled by inoculation with soil bacteria.
- Secretion of cytokine (IL-10) might be the source of protection of sickle-cells anemic persons from malaria.
- It was shown that non-wood cellulose fibers such as kenaf and sisal are more suitable for paper production, than wood.
- Developed chromatographic methods proved efficient in testing for Bromides in water and bread.
- Addition of “Humus” flour to wheat flour improves the quality of bread and adds important nutrient ingredients.
- A unit for increasing production of propylene from liquid oil gas was designed; production yield jumped from 74.10% to 99.90%.
