Ecofriendly Usability of Mushroom Cultivation Substrate as a Ruminant Feed: Anaerobic Digestion Using Gas Production Techniques

mycolabadmin

Mushroom farming produces large amounts of waste substrate that typically ends up in landfills. This research shows that after mushrooms are harvested, the remaining substrate can be safely fed to cattle and other ruminant animals. The mushroom cultivation process actually improves the substrate’s nutritional quality by breaking down tough plant fibers, making it easier for animals to digest. This discovery could help farms reduce waste, lower feeding costs, and address environmental pollution.

Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass Into Valuable Feed for Ruminants Using White Rot Fungi

Researchers tested how three types of edible and medicinal fungi could improve the nutritional quality of agricultural plant waste for feeding livestock. They found that one fungus species, Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, was particularly effective at breaking down tough plant fibers, especially in rapeseed straw and spent reed materials. The fungal treatment not only made the feed easier for ruminant animals to digest but also reduced methane gas production, which is beneficial for environmental sustainability.
