Effects of Alkaline Hydrogen-Peroxide Treatment of Crop Residues on Cell Wall Carbohydrate Utilization by Ruminants (Lignocellulose)
Cellulose, generally the major component of plant cell walls, would have great potential as a ruminant animal feedstuff if factors limiting its microbial degradation in the ruminant's gastrointestinal tract could be removed by chemical treatment. Treating lignocellulosic materials with an alkaline …
