Bioprocessing of Wheat Straw into Nutritionally Rich and Digested Cattle Feed
This research developed an eco-friendly way to convert wheat straw, an agricultural waste product, into nutritious cattle feed using a special fungus. The fungus breaks down the tough parts of straw that animals can’t digest while preserving the nutritious components, making it more digestible and nutritious for cattle. Impact on everyday life: – Provides a solution for agricultural waste management by converting crop residues into valuable animal feed – Helps reduce the cost of animal feed by replacing expensive grain components – Supports sustainable farming practices by recycling agricultural byproducts – Addresses animal feed shortages in regions with limited fodder availability – Demonstrates an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical feed processing methods
