Ammoniated rice straw as feed for ruminants

Muhammad Rusdy

Hasanuddin University, Indonesia

R

ice straw is agricultural byproduct with many potential uses. As animal feed, it has low digestibility, crude protein and

mineral content and do not meet maintenance level of energy requirement for ruminant. Pre-treatment with ammonia

gas or urea can greatly enhance intake, digestibility and crude protein content of rice straw and will improve the productive

performance of the ruminants. However, because much of urea or ammonia is easily degraded in the rumen and much of

absorbed N tends to be lost to the animal by excretion in the urine, to maximize the efficient use of ammoniated rice straw for

ruminants, a small amount of rumen in degraded protein available for post-ruminant digestion is desirable.

domestic and international journals. Due to scarcity of feed in Indonesia, he has interested to study the establishment and growth of high potential forage that suitable to be

developed in Indonesia. He also has interested to study the use of agricultural wastes as ruminant feed and had presented his paper entitled Banana Wastes as Ruminant

Feed in Recycling Expo that was held in Rome, July 2017. He has acted as Reviewer for many journals, both indexed and non-indexed in
