Gas production of napier grass and corn stover inin vitro rumen fermentation

In Malaysia, sweet corn is one of the popular crops. The corn stover not being fully utilized by farmers. Napier grass has been used widely in Malaysia as livestock feeding. A study was undertaken to compare the Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and corn stover (F1 Sweet Corn- Sh2) and their parts...
