Evaluating the possibility of recycling banana waste as a feed for ruminants: I- chemical composition, rumen-liquor parameters, digestibility coefficients, and feeing values by lambs [electronic resource].

Includes reference.

Three underground trenches with the capacity of 6 tons (2 tons each) were used for making silage from banana Wastes. Rice straw was added to banana wastes at the rate cf 1::!, while molasses was added at the rate of 5%. The first kind of silage (T2) was made without any additive. In the second silage (T3), urea was added at the rate of 3%, while in the third silage (T4), EM1 (biological treatment) was added at the rate of 1%. Whereas T1was a control. The rations were fed ad libitum of silage, while concentrate feed mixture consisted 70% from the requirements.
