Extract

In recent years sugarcane had been farmed in large quantities in Iran especially in Khoozestan state due to proper climate. By-products that remain after processing of sugarcane are Lignocellulosis materials contain more than 20% lignin. 700000 ton bagasse pith is produced yearly at Khoozestan that might be used in animal nutrition because industrial usage is limited. Supplying fiber requirement of ruminants in Iran because of hot and dry climate needs attention to new sources of fiber. Bagasse had been used intact in some countries or just with molasses and urea in fattening farms. Bagasse had been used in low milk production cows (1). A new technology (Steam treatment) had open new zones to apply bagasse as steam treated bagasse in ruminant nutrition and had been shown that it is more digestible (2). This study was conducted to use hydrolyzed bagasse pith in high producing dairy cows in early lactation.
