Abstract The present work was carried out at Noubaria Experimental Station for Animal Production, Animal Production Research Institute. Agriculture Research Center. The main objective of this work is to find out the possibility of utilizing banana wastes in order to produce unconventional feed sources for ruminants, In order to do so, three under ground trenches with the capacity of 15 tons (5 tons each) were used for making silage from banana wastes (BW). Rice straw was added to BW at the rate of 1:2, while molasses was added at the rate of 3% and 5 kg of AD?E was added for the three trenches. The first silage was without any additive, in the second one, urea was added at the rate of 3%, while in the third silage inoculant was added at the rate of 10 g/ 2L water / ton of BW. |
