Effect of Fungal Treatments of Rape Straw on Chemical Composition and in vitro Rumen Fermentation Characteristics

The use of rape straw in ruminant production is limited by its high lignin content and low ruminal degradability. White rot fungi are the most efficient known degraders of lignin. Four white rot fungi were investigated for their potential to degrade lignin and improve rumen fermentation of rape stra...
