Upgrading Nutritive Value of Rice Straw: Processing, Supplementation, and Agronomic Innovations for Improved Utilization
Abstract: Rice straw, a major byproduct of rice production, holds significant potential as a livestock feed but is constrained by its high lignocellulosic content, low crude protein, and poor digestibility. Enhancing its nutritive value is imperative for sustainable livestock production. This study explores a range of innovative strategies aimed at improving rice straw’s digestibility and overall nutritional quality. Physical processing techniques, including chopping, grinding, soaking, and steam treatment, enhance its surface …

Design and Estimation of Biogas Plant For Canteen Waste: A Case Study of RD’s Rajgad Technical Campus, Dhangwadi, Bhor, Pune
Abstract: Today's economy and society rely on energy. In the end, conventional fossil fuels like oil will run out, and an alternate primary energy source will be required to close the widening gap between rising demand and declining supply. Biogas is a great energy source in light of rising petroleum prices, declining foreign exchange reserves, and the rupee-dollar exchange rate. Organic matter breaks down to produce biogas, a fuel. The primary …
