3 Abstract: In this work we present the study of bioconversion of cowpea shells in solid state fermentation with edible mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus pulmonarius so as to upgrade its nutritional values and digestibility for its use as ruminants feed. The results obtained showed an increase in the crude protein (CP) from 12.25% for the control to 17.04% for P. ostreatus degraded cowpea husk (POT) and 15.41% for the P. pulmunarius degraded cowpea husk (PPT). A significant (P<0.05…

White-rot fungal conversion of wheat straw to energy rich cattle feed
TLDR
Results suggest that the fungal fermentation of wheat straw effectively improved CP content, OM digestibility, SCFAs production, ME value and simultaneously lowered the C/N ratio, thus showing potential for bioconversion of lignin rich wheat straw into high energy cattle feed.
Biodegradation And Mushroom Cultivation Studies On Peanut Shells And Corn Stalks By Pleurotus Ostreatus Under Solid State Fermentation Conditions
Peanut shells (PS) and corn stalks (CS) are abundant agro-industrial wastes th t are mainly disposed of by burning or soil incorporation. The biodegradation of PS and CS in various substrate…

Effect of fermentation on the nutritive value and rumen degradation characteristics of some locally available fibrous feeds.
TLDR
It was shown that fermentation with water had increased the crude protein content and degradability of the feedstuffs and would therefore improve intake and utilization by ruminant livestock.

TLDR
Results of this study suggest that digestibility enhancement of maize stover colonized by white-rot fungi is regulated by a complex combination of various factors, including the degradation of structural carbohydrates, cell wall phenolic acids and lignin.
