Hello Sir,

In South India, especially in southern parts of  Tamil Nadu paddy straw is used as fodder along with concentrate supplement

Have a good day

Dear sir,

Paddy straw is having very less nutritive potential and very high in anti nutritional factors. the DCP (digestible crude protein is Zero. It contains high concentration of silica and lignin also. the TDN is also low.mostly this is used as a filler to satisfy the satiety. but enriched straw with biological (fungus) or chemical treatment may be used with better results.

Partha

Dear Swain, 

Usage of paddy straw as feed should be stopped. Whether it may have any negative effect on the animal growth?

Have a good day
