Abstract
Aim: To determine the optimum
level of urea, moisture, period of treatments required to enrich
the nutritive value of urea treated sugarcane crop residues.
Materials and Methods: Sugarcane bagasse and chopped green
sugarcane tops were treated with 3, 4 and 5 %of urea at 40, 50 and
60 %levels of moisture and incubated for 2, 3 and 4 week periods
at ambient temperature under polypacked condition for the
ammonization purpose. The required amount of urea (30, 40 and 50g)
was dissolved in 400, 500 and 600 ml of water, respectively and
sprayed on both 1kg bagasse and tops. The treated materials were
thoroughly mixed to be homogenous and the moisture content was
adjusted to 65%, and then ensiled for 2, 3 & 4 weeks. At the end
of incubation period, the treated bagasse and tops were taken out
and aerated for 2 days to get rid of the free ammonia and smell.
Then samples were ground and stored for further chemical analysis
viz. OM, CP, AIA, NDF, ADF HC.
Results: The chemical composition of treated sugarcane
bagasse showed that treating with 5 percent urea at 40 %moisture
level for 4 weeks enhanced CP content from 2.17 to 14.35 %and
hemicellulose content from 16.22 to 24.85 %. However in case of
sugarcane tops treatment with 3 %urea at 40 %moisture level for 3
weeks was found to give maximum in terms of chemical composition
with enhanced CP content from 4.91 to 13.76 %and NDF and ADF
content from 72.44 to 80.39 %and 41.20 to 47.11 %, respectively.
Conclusions: Sugarcane bagasse treated with 5% urea at 40%
moisture level for 4 weeks enhanced CP and hemicelluloses content,
however sugarcane tops treated with 3% urea at 40% moisture level
for 3 weeks was found to give maximum improvement in terms of
chemical composition.
Key words: chemical composition, sugarcane bagasse,
sugarcane tops, urea treatment
