Extract

The amount of by-product feedstuffs generally increases as the human population increases and economies grow. Large quantities of by-products are used in the ruminant’s diet in agro-industrial areas. (Gasa, et al. 1989). However, little is known about their fermentation pattern in the rumen and a better understanding of their digestion and products of fermentation is necessary in order to properly balance their introduction into the diets and the knowledge about their potential feeding value is insufficient.
