Influence of urea-molasses treated wheat straw fermented with cattle manure on nutrient intake, digestibilities, milk yield and its composition in early lactating Nili Ravi buffaloes
This study was aimed to examine the influence of urea-molasses treated wheat straw (WS) fermented with cattle manure (CM) with 4% urea and 4% molasses incubated for 40 days on its chemical composition and varying substitution levels of fermented wheat straw (FWS) with concentrate on nutrients intake...
