“…The better performances recorded in sheep fed a total mixed ration containing biologically treated by-products treated was attributed to the degradation of cell wall structure, which leads to increase digestibility and protein content of the diets. This in line with the findings of various researcher who reported that incorporating biologically treated roughage in the diets of ruminant increases feed intake, improves digestibility, and increases FCE (Abdel-Azim et al, 2011;Belewu et al, 2003;El-Bordeny et al, 2015;Fouda, 2008). Moreover, Gado et al (2006) found that goats consumed with biologically treated SCB had higher DMI and average body weight gain.…”

“…According to Jalč ( 2002 ), the use of fungi and/or their enzymes that metabolize lignocellulose is a potential biological treatment to enhance the nutritional contents of agro‐industrial by‐products. Most research reports indicate that feeding ruminants with biologically treated roughage increases feed intake, improves digestibility, and increases feed conversion efficiency (FCE) compared to untreated (Abdel‐Azim et al, 2011 ; Belewu et al, 2003 ; El‐Bordeny et al, 2015 ; Fouda, 2008 ). Moreover, growing animals fed on biologically treated roughages showed better daily gain (Allam et al, 2006 ), FCE, and pre‐slaughter live weight (El‐Marakby, 2003 ) compared to animals fed untreated roughages.…”

The productivity of small ruminants in Ethiopia is low due to a shortage of feed supply throughout the year, both in terms of quality and quantity. This problem leads to the utilization of locally available lignocellulose by‐products, which encompass high cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. It is known that the nutritive value of these lignocellulose by‐products can be improved through biological, chemical, or a combination of both treatments This study was aimed at evaluating body weight change, carcass characteristics, and economic efficiency of rams fed a total mixed diet containing biologically treated rice husk (RH) or sugarcane bagasse (SCB). Thirty‐six sheep, weighing an average initial body weight of 18 ± 1.8 kg were used. Two feeds (SCB and RH) and three biological treatments (Control, Trichoderma viride [Tv], and effective microbes [EM]) were used with a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in 2 × 3 factorial arrangements. Ram fed on RH containing diets had higher dry matter intake (DMI) (g/h/day), DMI (% of BW), DMI (g/kg BW0.75), average daily gain (ADG) (106 vs. 53 g/day), and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) (0.107 vs. 0.076) than SCB containing diets. Ram fed diets containing biologically treated roughages had significantly higher (p < .05) DMI (g/h/day), DMI (% of BW), DMI (g/kg BW0.75), ADG, and FCE. However, no significant differences were observed between sheep fed diets containing EM and Tv in DMI (g/h/day), DMI (% of BW), DMI (g/kg BW0.75), ADG, and FCE. This study also revealed that significantly (p < .05) higher carcass weight, dressing percentage (DP), rib eye muscle area, total non‐carcass fat, and total edible offal components had been recorded for rams fed diets containing RH as roughage source related to rams fed diets containing SCB. While other parameters were unaffected by treatments, sheep fed diets containing biologically treated feed had a higher hot carcass weight plus DP. However, no significant (p > .05) difference was found between diets based on biologically treated roughage. Profitability analysis indicated that sheep fattening on a diet containing RH and by‐products treated with Tv and EM showed greater profitability than untreated SCB. The authors had concluded that fattening sheep on diets containing RH results in higher feed intake, better body weight gain, more carcasses and higher profits, but optimum inclusion levels need further research, for either treated or untreated SCB.

The aim of this research is to reach the composite of alternative milks which were previously studied by the same authors in order to produce a palatable taste with the highest nutritional value. Coconut milk (A), potato flour milk (B), white corn milk (E), Tiger nut milk (F), sorghum milk (G), dry bean milk (H) sesame milk (I), and cantaloupe seeds milk (J) were used to make five composite alternative milks (AFG, AHJ, ABI, JBI and FBE) and evaluated by estimating the chemical, mineral and vitamin contents. Results indicated that, there were significant differences between all composite milk samples in chemical composition. Protein ranged between 3.72 % in FBE and 13.68% in JBI. ABI had the highest fat content followed by AHJ. Ash ranged between 2.12% in AHJ and 1.02% in JBI. Moisture content was the lowest in ABI. Sample AHJ had the highest amount of calcium, magnesium and sodium. The milk of AFG had higher content of potassium, copper and manganese. Composite milk which contain cantaloupe seeds, potato flour and sesame milk had a good source of vitamin D and vitamin B group.

Mushroom waste substrates are highly resistant lignocellulosic wastes that are commercially produced by industries after harvesting. These wastes produce large environmental challenges regarding disposal and, thus, require treatment facilities. In the present article, the effect of Eisenia-fetida-based vermicomposting and an effective microorganism solution on the mushroom waste substrate were investigated using four different composting mixtures: mushroom waste [MW] substrate composting with effective microorganisms [MW+EM], raw mushroom waste [RWM] substrate composting with effective microorganisms [RMW+EM], mushroom waste substrate composting with vermicomposting and effective microorganisms [MW+V+EM], and raw mushroom waste substrate composting with vermicomposting and effective microorganisms [RWM+V+EM]. This article discusses the structural and physiochemical changes at four samples for 45 days (almost six weeks) of composting. The physical and chemical parameters were monitored during composting and provided information on the duration of the process. The results indicated pH (7.2~8), NPK value (0.9~1.8), and C:N ratio <14, and heavy metals exhibited a decreasing trend in later stages for all sets of compost materials and showed the maturity level. FTIR spectra revealed that all four samples included peaks for the -OH (hydroxy group) ranging from 3780 to 3500 cm−1 and a ridge indicating the C=C (alkenyl bond) ranging from 1650 to 1620 cm−1 in compost. The X-ray diffraction spectrum clearly shows how earthworms and microbes break down molecules into cellulose compounds, and the average crystallinity size using Scherrer’s equation was found to be between 69.82 and 93.13 nm. Based on the experimental analysis, [RWM+V+EM] accelerated the breakdown of organic matter and showed improvement compared with other composts in compostable materials, thus, emphasizing the critical nature of long-term mushroom waste management and treatment.
