New study finds peach palm waste silage improves ruminant nutrition.
The researchers studied three types of silage made from waste of peach palm production to see how they degraded and their quality. They found that the silage made from the leaves had the best nutritional value for feeding ruminants, with higher digestibility and better fermentation parameters. The leaf silage had higher levels of lactic acid and lower pH, making it a better choice for animal feed.
