Abstract
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.
