Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential of using rice straw, along with protein extracted from leaves, as livestock feed to improve nutrition and digestibility.
- Distilled water was found to be more effective than chemical solvents like 0.1 N NaOH for extracting protein from leaves, yielding higher protein and amino acid content.
- Incorporating this distilled water-extracted protein into low-quality rice straw diets resulted in better fermentation and digestibility, suggesting a viable method to enhance livestock nutrition.
A digestibility study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing mulberry foliage and urea rice-bran as a source of fermentable energy and protein to 12 sheep fed diets based on urea-treated rice straw (TRS). The three dietary treatments were: T1, TRS with mulberry; T2, TRS with 50% mulberry replaced with rice bran and urea; and T3, TRS with rice bran and urea. The study was arranged in a completely randomized design with four replications for each treatment.
