Nutritional assessment of wheat straw, untreated or urea treated using respiration calorimetry technique

Agricultural Wastes

“…Lime treatment approximately doubled the digestibility making it an effective method to upgrade the rumen digestibility of agricultural residues. Khan et al (1997) treated wheat straw with urea and evaluated its nutritional value using respiration calorimetry. Both NaOH-control and AHP reduced NDF contents and increased IVDM digestibility of straw compared with pH-control.…”
