“…Given the average nutritional composition of the samples evaluated, it is possible to assert that their use for feeding beef cattle, as the only food source, is not sufficient to meet the maintenance requirements of the animals (NRC, 1996;Sarnklong et al, 2010). However, this feed presents relevant potential for strategic use as part of the diet of animal categories with lower nutrient requirements in times of food shortage, as well as to preserve the body condition of the animals, intensify the production system, and still allow a better quality of postpartum nutrition (Barcellos et al, 1999).…”

-The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of cultivation and hay making factors on chemical composition, protein fractionation, and digestibility in rice straw, as well as to identify the chemical fractions that contribute to the variation in its nutritional value for ruminants. Statistical procedures were performed in a model that included rice crop cycle, sowing season, baling season, soil classification, fertilizer application, and productivity (kg/ha) as fixed effects and the hay bale as random effect. Chemical composition, protein fractionation, and digestibility data were subjected to multivariate analyses including factor, cluster, and discriminant. Considering the cultivation and haymaking factors, development cycle, baling season, and grain production explained the most variation in the rice straw nutritional value. Straws derived from early maturing cultivars showed the lowest levels of neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent insoluble nitrogen, and C nitrogen fraction in comparison with straw originating from mid cycle cultivars. Rice straw from more productive cultivars had lower levels of lignin and C fraction as well as higher levels of crude protein and B3 fraction compared with straws from less productive cultivars. However, the main variation in the nutritional value between the samples of rice straw was related to the baling season. The bailing seasons were grouped in two clusters. Straws with better nutritional value were those with lower levels of cell wall fractions, from more productive crops, with early development cycle and baled until March. Rice crop cycle, baling season, and grain production effects explain the variation in the nutritional value of rice straws. Straws with better nutritional value have lower levels of fractions related to secondary cell wall and lignification.

“…The value of rice straw to bovines is limited by low voluntary intake, slow rate of digestion and low content of available energy, protein, minerals and vitamins (Van Soest, 2006). Extensive research has been carried out for several decades on improving nutritive value of cereal straws for livestock using physical, chemical and biological treatments and varying degree of success has been reported (Vadiveloo, 2003;Selim et al, 2004;Sarnklong, et al, 2010). However, economic benefit and social acceptance of these technologies is limited (Devendra, 1997).…”

Rice straw, a by-product of the rice production is mainly used as a source of feed for ruminant livestock is the major forage in rice-producing areas in India. The disposal of the rice straw is a serious problem in areas where it is the major agricultural product. It is rich in polysaccharides and has a high lignin and silica content, limiting voluntary intake and reducing degradability by rumen microbes. By rice straw treatment, its quality and digestibility can be improved and enhanced the protein content. Several methods have been used to improve the utilization of rice straw by ruminants or supplemented by other ingredients to increase digestibility and nutrient value before it can be considered a suitable animal feed. In recent years, biological treatments have been investigated for improvement in nutritional value of rice straw. The use of ligninolytic fungi and their extracellular ligninolytic enzymes for treatment of rice straw results in degrading cellulose and hemicelluloses contents which improve its nutritional value. The use of fungi and enzyme treatments is expected to be a practical, cost-effective and environmental-friendly approach for enhancing the nutritive value and digestibility of rice straw. Therefore, the treated rice straw has a good potential as feed for ruminants.

“…About 290.99 thousand hectares of land in J&K is under wheat cultivation, producing about 5819.5 thousand quintals of grain yield (GoJK, 2015), concurrently producing roughly 1.5 times the weight as wheat Paddy straws either burned, left on the field before the next ploughing, ploughed down as a soil improver or used as a feed for livestock (Kadam et al, 2000). It has poor nutritive value (Sarnklong et al, 2010) containing less lignin, but more silica and oxalic acid as compared to other cereal straws (Van Soest, 1981;Juliano, 1985). The slow and partial ruminal degradation of fibrous carbohydrates and the little content of nitrogen are the main limiting factors of rice straw, affecting its value as feed (Van Soest, 2006).…”

| Paddy and wheat generate multi-million tons of straw as residue. These two straws although similar in their nutrient content are quite different in microstructure and non-nutritive chemical composition. Present study scrutinized the effect of these straws when fed in combination as compared to fed as sole roughage on blood biochemical profile and serum enzymes. Eighteen non-descript local adult male goats were randomly divided into three equal groups as per randomized block design and were offered concentrate mixture @20g /kg metabolic body weight (W 0.75 ) along with either wheat straw (WS), paddy straw (PS) or wheat-paddy straw as 60:40 mix (WP) ad libitum. Feeding trial lasted for 30 days. The haemoglobin, total serum protein, albumin, blood urea nitrogen and serum enzymes (alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase) were comparable among goats irrespective of the diets. It may be concluded that wheat and paddy straw can be used as sole roughage or in combination without effecting blood biochemical profile and serum enzymes of goats.
