Abstract
Bio-slurry, a byproduct of biogas plant is not using properly and most of the cases causing environmental and social hazard by discharging it in public places though it rich in nutrients especially protein (16-20% CP) and produced through beneficiary anaerobic microorganisms. On the other hand, Straw is highly fibrous residue having low protein (CP <3%) content which mostly indigestible. The poor digestibility of straw is further caused by the presence of high amount of inhibitory mineral element called silica. The combination of low intake, low degradability, low nitrogen content and an imbalanced mineral composition means that rice straw alone may not even meet the animal’s maintenance needs. Therefore, the animals are suffering from nutrients deficiencies resulting in poor health and productivity of these animals reared on straw based ration. Under this situation, it is essential to find out the ways and means to increase the supply and quality of feed to livestock to fulfill their deficiencies. So, the way to improve the crude protein, metabolizable energy and preservation quality, wet rice straw can be ensiled with biogas slurry. The principles of ensiling process of straw are maintenance of anaerobic conditions throughout the ensiling and rapid decline in pH value by lactic acid bacteria. Ensiling of wet rice straw along with biogas slurry may produce a good quality ensilage for feeding cattle having desire palatability, nutrient content and digestibility and also reduce the environmental pollution.
Key Words: Biogas slurry, Wet rice straw, Protein content, Metabolizable energy, Feed preservation technique and Future prospects
