IN VITRO EVALUATION OF SUGARCANE BAGASSE TREATED WITH DIFFERENT LEVEL OF UREA AND MOISTURE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 19
Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the graded level of urea and moisture treatments to enhance the nutritive value of SCB. SCB was treated with 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 % of urea at 40, 50 and 60 % levels of moisture in a 3×3 factorial arrangement and ensiled for a period of 21 days. Samples were analysed further proximate analysis and In vitro gas production parameters. The chemical composition of SCB treated with 3.5 % urea at 40% moisture level enhanced CP, digestibility of DM and OM and reduction in fiber fractions. IVDMD and IVOMD, ME, total volatile fatty acids, total nitrogen and ammonia levels were significantly (P<0.05) increased as compared to untreated SCB. On holistic view, treatment of SCB with 3.5% urea and 40% moisture seems to be optimum and best for ruminant production system.
