Abstract
The Fermentation Quality and in vitro Nutrient Digestibility of Agricultural Waste Based-Complete Feed Silage with Different Composition of Oil Palm Frond and Rice Crop Residue
Highlights
An adequate supply of roughage to ruminants is essential for optimum rumen function and which is important to the animals health and production
Physical Characteristics and Chemical Composition of Complete Feed Silages The complete feed silage made from king grass, agricultural and food industry wastes has no fungus, acid smell and the colour was brownish green that similar with original ingredients of silage
The dry matter (DM) content of all silages varied from 36.2 to 43.6% which was higher than the value of 30% for ideal silageas suggested by Chamberlain and Wilkinson (1996)
Summary
An adequate supply of roughage to ruminants is essential for optimum rumen function and which is important to the animals health and production. The use of crop residues and agricultural wastes in animal feeding is a very common practice to ensure the feed supAugust 2019 | Volume 7 | Issue 8 | Page 621 ply for livestock production. The rice crop residue (RCR) is lower part of fresh rice crop after being harvested and left at rice field. These residues are abundantly available, and most of them are not be used as livestock feeds and is burned after dried causing air pollution. These residues are abundantly available, and most of them are not be used as livestock feeds and is burned after dried causing air pollution. Santoso et al (2011) revealed that RCR is potential to be preserved as silage and used as ruminant feeds
