ENRICHING AND ENSILING SUGARCANE TOPS

• Sugarcane tops are inferior in nutritional value containing 1.86% digestible crude protein and 44.73% total digestible nutrients
• Their nutritive value is improved by supplementing non-protein nitrogenous compound like urea which promotes rumen microbial growth that in turn supplies superior quality protein to cattle
• After 30 days ensilement the sugarcane tops have 5.81% crude protein and 47.53% of total digestible nutrients
