Full TextAbstract
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) stover (SS) is the most abundant residue of sesame cultivation in semi-arid regions of Iran, and traditionally used as a basal feed in sheep and goat rations. However, voluntary feed intake and total tract digestibility of this straw are limited by its high complex carbohydrate content and lignin. The feeding value of low quality forages may often be improved with some additives such as urea and sodium hydroxide (Schingoethe et al., 1980). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro gas production parameters of sesame stover treated with NaOH, urea or sulphuric acid.
