Enhancing the nutritional quality and digestibility of citronella waste () for ruminant feed through ammoniation and fermentation techniques.

Background And Aim: Citronella grass () waste, produced by distilling citronella to produce essential oil, has a high potential for use as animal feed. However, the presence of high lignin content could limit its digestibility, prompting the need for treatment to improve its quality. This study aimed to improve the nutritional value and digestibility of ammoniated and fermented citronella waste (CW).
