  • In vitro and in vivo evaluations of chemically treated ryegrass straw

    Creator:
    Anderson, Daniel Craig
    Abstract:
    Seven in vitro trials were conducted to compare the effects of soaking annual ryegrass straw in solutions of sodium hydroxide (Na₄OH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH), or sodium formate (NaCHO₂) at varying levels. Dry matter digestibility (DDM) was the criterion used to measure treatment response. A 3 x 3...
