Abstract

This experimental work was conducted during December 2017 at Tractors and Farm machinery Testing & Research Station at Sabahia, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt. The present work is aimed to study the effect of treating of sugarcane bagasse biologically in a developed reactor, chemically and biochemically, as feeds for ruminants. Treatments were chemical (4% urea), biological "Trichoderma harzinaum F-418 fungi",and biochemical treatment (combined biological + urea). The effect of different treatments on chemical composition of sugarcane bagasse were studied. Chemical composition, in terms of crude protein content "CP" (%), crude fiber content "CF" (%), Ether extract content "EE" (%), ASH content "Ash" (%) and Nitrogen free extract content "NFE" (%) to maximize its nutritional values in order to use such improved materials as animal feeds. The results showed that different treatments increased CP, and ash, while decreased CF, EE and NFE. The increments in CP content were 415.56, 248.89 and 169.44% due to biochemical, chemical and biological treatments, respectively. While the decrement in CF content were 28.99, 24.75 and 7.54% due to biochemical, chemical and biological treatments, respectively.
