Extract

Chaudhry and Miller (1993) have demonstrated the effectiveness of Alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) in improving in vitro digestibility (IVD) of cereal straws. Further experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of AHP on a larger scale compared with varying amounts of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in improving the nutritive value of wheat straw (WS) for sheep.
