Miraculous Use of Corn Steep Liquor for Nitrogen Fixation in Straw

Urea treated wheat straw ensiled with CSL on an average increased two-fold wheat straw nitrogen. It has also increased feed intake, DM and NDF degradations and their ruminal disappearance rates. The concentrations of total ruminal VFA and acetate were also higher in animals fed CSL diets than those fed diets without CSL. Thus, the urea treatment of wheat straw ensiled with CSL not only improved its nutritional worth but its NPN is also more effectively utilized by animals than urea treated whea ...
