Study on the Change of Nutritional Value of Microstorage Corn Stalk and Its Effect on the Growth Performance of Mutton Sheep

Abstract:

In this experiment, corn stalks were microstored. We examined the changes in nutritional value after microstorage and its effect on growth performance of mutton sheep. Studies have shown that after microstorage of corn stalks, it is moist, has wine aroma, soft texture and good palatability, the values of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), dry matter (DM) and acid detergent fiber (NDF) decreased significantly, and the crude protein (CP) value increased significantly. The nutritional value of corn stalks was effectively improved after microstorage. The mutton sheep were fed after microstorage of corn stalks, and the daily gain of the mutton sheep in the experimental group was 21.76% higher than that in the control group.
