Description: Sugar cane bagasse and cane tops are the principal crop residues of the sugar industry potentially available for use in ruminant livestock feeds. Through a series of laboratory experiments, the processing factors whichinfluence the rate and extent of the improvements in the in vitro dry matter digestibilities (IVDMD) of bagasse and cane tops when treated with NH3 were examined. A 6% level of NH3addition appears optimum,with a treatment time of 2-3 wk under ambient, tropical con ditions. Treatment of bagasse and cane tops with NH3at 60 and 90?C improved both the rate and extent of the increase in IVDMD, com pared to ambient treatment, with such processing being particularly beneficial to bagasse. At 90?C, a process time of 72 h is desirable.
