    EVALUATION OF PROTEIN SOURCES FOR â PARTITIONING FACTORâ AND THEIR ASSOCIATIVE EFFECTS ON FIBRE DIGESTION IN VITRO
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) MANJUNATH, G. L
    In crop residue based ruminant production systems, optimizing crop residue utilization continues to be the thrust area of research and development. The poor nutritional quality of the residues of cereal and millet crops is the major constraint in exploiting genetic potential of ruminant livestock in India. The poor nutritional qualities of crop residues are conventionally viewed as due to nutrient deficiencies and or the presence of refractory and inhibitory substances such as lignin, silica, cutin, polyphenols and tannins that may bind with other nutrients or may act as toxic substances to rumen microbes. Although considerable information on these aspects have been accumulated over the past years, quantification of their impact on microbial biomass synthesis and ruminal digestion of fibre continues to be the problem.
