Cattle feeding on fresh cassava pulp (click to enlarge).
Fistulated caw used in our studies and for determination of rumen activity on potato
pulp.Two methods are used:
(1) The nylon bag method and
(2) The In Vitro Method.
Potato pulp is improving the microbial activity in the rumen
Potato and cassava pulp is excellent
cattle feed.

Calculated on dry matter the feeding value of potato pulp is equivalent to barley. The high digestibility of the fibre content makes potato pulp of particular advantage as a roughage to high yielding dairy cattle. |

| The Amino acids Absorbed in the Intestine
(AAI) is 97 g per kg pulp dry matter. As a comparison, soy
bean cake contains 177 g AAI/kg DM The Protein Balance in the Rumen (PBR) is -85 g per kg pulp dry matter. The figure is negative because potato pulp requires nitrogen for its digestion in the rumen. |
