In order to optimize the level of inclusion of groundnut straw for maximum DM and OM digestibility and minimum CH4 production, the groundnut straw was incorporated from 10 to 60% in the TMRs replacing wheat straw. After optimizing the level of inclusion of groundnut straw, the TMRs were formulated with optimum level of groundnut straw, based on maximum in vitro DM and OM digestibility and minimum in vitro methane productionenAnimal NutritionAnalysisThesis
