Effect of biological treatments on the nutritive value of rice straw
Abstract: This study was carried out (El-Sero Research Station, Domyat Governorate ) to study the effect of biological treatments(ZAD, fungus and ZAD with fungus) on feed intake, digestibility coefficient, nutritive value and nitrogen balance of rice straw and some rumen liquor and blood parameters.
Four treatments were tested, the first(T1) was the control (untreated rice straw) the second (T2) was rice straw treated with ZAD ad. Libitum. The third (T3) was rice straw treated with fungus(Pleurotus osteratus) and the fourth (?T4) was rice straw treated with ZAD and fungus.
T2, T3, and T4 increased (P<0.05) crude protein of rice straw and decreased (P>0.05) dry matter, crude fiber, NFE, NDF, ADF, ADL and cellulose contents than the control group. Dry matter intake (DM) increased (P<0.05) in the groups fed rice straw treated with ZAD, fungus and ZAD +Fungus than the control group. ZAD, fungus and ZAD+ Fungus treatments increased (P<0.05) digestibility coefficients of CF, ADF, NDF, ADL, cellulose and hemicellulose than the untreated rice straw.
Total digestive nutrients (TDN) and digestibility of crude protein (DCP) for T2, T3S and T4 were higher (P<0.05) urea, total protein, albumin, globulin, GOT and GPT than untreated rice straw.
Twenty four Ossimi lambs averages (0.20±0.3kg) were used in feeding trial lasted 120 days. Feeding trial results showed all biological treatments had higher feed intake and average daily gain (169.16, 163.33, 134.3 and 92.50g for T2, T3, T4 and T1, respectively. Biological treatments indicated that it they could be good method to improve the nutritive value of rice straw.
