Rice straw with molasses boosts goat growth rates, revolutionizing livestock feeding.
The researchers tested different diets for goats using crop residues like rice straw with added molasses or urea. They found that goats fed with rice straw treated with urea-molasses had the highest growth rate. This means that rice straw can be a good food for goats if it is treated with molasses or urea-molasses solution. The study showed that the goats had good nutrient balance and digestibility with these diets.
