Zs. Sihag et al., STORAGE OF COMPLETE FEED BLOCKS UNDER DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 63(4), 1993, pp. 461-464
Equilibrium moisture of 4 complete feeds was determined at 20-degrees,
30-degrees, 40-degrees and 50-degrees-C and at 12, 33, 46, 52, 75 and
96% (+/- 0.5) RH. The equilibrium moisture of sodium hydroxide-treate
d wheat straw-based complete feeds was significantly (P < 0.05) higher
than of untreated wheat straw-based complete feeds. The fungus was de
veloped earlier on the complete feed blocks containing untreated straw
than treated wheat straw. The feed blocks were held safely for longer
period temperature at 20-degrees to 50-degrees-C at 50% relative humi
dity.
