In: Journal of Agricultural Research Tanta Univeristy 2006.v.32(3)Summary: Eight Holstein Friesian dairy cows (450 Kg) in their third lactation season, producing (10-I2 Kg/day) in average, were allotted in a double 4x4 Latin squares arrangement (28 day periods) to evaluate the effect of feeding dairy cows on banana (Musa acuminata L.) waste silage (BWS) alone or treated with urea 3% (BWUS) or inoculant, mixed bacteria (BWIS) at the rate of 10g/2L water/ton. Silage making resulted in decreasing CF and cell wall components, but increased EE and ash contents. Inoculant increased the apparent digestibility of all nutrients, followed by silage treated with urea then the untreated control silage. Feeding values were highest for BWlS (63.69% TON, 9.30% OCP and lowest for (BWS) (60.94% TON. 8.0% OCP). Higher digestibility of ADF and NOF was obst;rved by (BWlS). Total VFA's were significantly (P<0.05) increased in (BWIS) than other silages. No significant differences were found among groups concerning all blood parameters. The highest milk yield was recorded for cows fed BWlS. It could be seen that ensiling (BW) with mixed bacteria (inoculant) resulted in reduce in feed cost and get benefit from milk production..
