Extract

fibrous materials such as sugarcane bagasse contain more than 600 g/kg of its dry matter in the form of cellulose and hemicellulose but its degradability is very poor. One of the main reasons for this depression in degradability is the presence of lignin which protects carbohydrates from being attacked by rumen microbes. The main effect of steam treatment is to increase feed intake, overall digestibility and gain which is achieved because of the extensive destruction of cell wall and hemicellulose hydrolysis which increases soluble sugars and makes cell wall more degradable (Karkoodi et al, 2006). The aim of this study was to assess the effect of acid hydrolysis steam pressure treatment on physico-chemical and bio-utilization of sugarcane bagasse.
