Abstract

Three rumen fistulated crossbred adult cattle were fed three different straws viz. wheat straw (T1), basmati paddy straw (T2) and coarse variety paddy straw (T3) ad lib. in a 3x3 switch-over experiment. Additionally, each animal was offered 1.5 kg concentrate mixture. DM intake was 6.895, 7.685 and 7.565 kg/day in treatments T1, T2 and T3, respectively and value was significantly (P<0.05) lower in treatment T1 than those in T2 and T3. The digestibility of DM, CP, CF, EE and NFE were significantly (P<0.05) higher in treatments T2 and T3 than in T1. However, variations between T2 and T3 were nonsignificant. Rumen pH, NH3-N, Total-N and TVFA's levels in SRL were not affected significantly by dietary treatments.
