Abstract
Bioconversion of agro-residues, rice straw and wheat straw, was carrie d out with the edible mushroom Pleurotus sajor-caju, with a view to in creasing nutritive values and digestibilities for animal feed. Amongst the inorganic and organic nitrogen sources tested, soyabean meal and ficus fruits, in which nitrogen is present in complex form, were the b est supplements in enhancing the in vitro dry matter digestibilities o f the residues.
