“…Steam explosion is one of the physical process that has been studied extensively for upgrading the LCB for ruminant feeds (Mokomele et al 2018;Rusli et al 2019;Wu et al (2020). This method typically proceed by rapidly heating the LCB at relatively high temperatures (160-260°C) and by high-pressure steam (0.7-4.8 MPa) and terminated by explosive decompression (Kumar & Sharma 2017).…”

“…Other study in dairy cow (Wang et al 2020) showed that the NDF and ADF digestibility of corn stover pretreated by steam explosion increased by 26.1 and 27.1%, respectively and methane production decreased by 9.5%. Using steam explosion process on oil palm empty bunch increase metabolizable energy by 13.5% when fed to steer (Wu et al 2020). In the same study, increased total ruminal VFA concentration by 17.3% was also detected when oil palm fronds were pretreated by steam explosion.…”

<p>Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) such as crop residues and agro-industrial wastes are renewable resources and available abundantly. It could play central role in sustainable feeding system of ruminant production. These materials are potential source of fiber to support optimum rumen function and energy supply. However, the LCB has important nutritional constraints that limit its utilization as feed for ruminants. This review is intended to discuss nutritional constraints of LCB as ruminant feed and the potentials and challenges of processes in upgrading the nutritional quality of LCB. The main polymer compounds in LCB are cellulose (30 to 60% ), hemicellulose (20 to 40 %) and lignin (15-25%) and its inter linkages make the energy contained in the LCB is less extractable by the ruminant digestive system. Physical, chemical and biological processing technologies have been well known as alternative means to upgrade the nutritive values of LCB. Recently, novel processing technologies of LCB such as ionic liquid, organosolv, sonication, and new screened rot white fungi (<em>Ceriporiopsis subvermispora</em>) and some older technologies using alkaline and acids have been studied and developed particularly for the purpose of biofuel production in the bio refinery industry. Processing technologies have different properties in degrading the lignin, degrading and solubilizing the cellulose and hemicellulose that all relate to the nutritive quality of LCB. Advantages of processed LCB in ruminant animals were indicated by increase in diet digestibility, intake, rumen fermentation and gain. It is concluded that numerous processing technologies are available to upgrade the nutritional quality of LCB, but there are obstacles to use some of these techniques for wide application in ruminant production system.</p>

“…Hence, efforts are being made to develop effective treatment methods for OPF to enhance its nutritional quality as feedstuff needed for the development of new feeding strategies and forages, and prevent the scarcity of balanced feeds [8]. The improvement of the nutritional value of OPF is one of the latest developments in oil palm waste management for exploiting the potential of locally available feedstuffs and for optimising its utilisation as an animal feed resource [9].…”

Wu et al[9] showed that steam explosion can improve the effective OPF metabolisable energy (ME) value and decrease the hemicellulose content of OPF from 22.81 to 18.80%. For instance, steam explosion treatment is an important method for aiding the release of OPF cellulose implanted between hemicelluloses and lignin and is more applicable to rumen fermentation, hydrolysis and densification processes.…”

Oil palm frond (OPF) is a biomass residue from oil palm plantations that has received increasing interest for its promise as roughage resources to overcome limitations of ruminant feeding. However, the use of OPF as a feedstuff for optimal livestock productivity is limited by its high lignocellulosic content and low nutritional value. Chemical composition revealed that OPF was composed of 70% fibre and 22% soluble carbohydrates on a dry matter (DM) basis. Various physical, chemical, biological and physico-chemical treatments have been used to improve the digestibility of nutrients and the nutritional value of OPF. This review was conducted to study the treatment methods of OPF as a value-added feedstuff, and, to emphasize on the effects of treated OPF on in vitro ruminal fermentation and in vivo ruminant digestibility coefficients and growth performance. The biological treatment produced favourable outcomes in improving the nutritional value of OPF, and was more cost-effective, safe and environmentally friendly as compared to chemical and physical treatments. In vitro rumen fermentation studies on the digestibility and potential use of treated OPF as quality feedstuffs for ruminants have been widely reported. Several in vivo studies have found that small ruminants performed satisfactorily when fed diets with treated or pre-digested OPF at appropriate ratios. Nevertheless, chemically treated OPF has been found to be successfully used in both beef and dairy cattle feeding trials as it is a good source of protein and energy that can increase digestibility coefficients and have positive impacts on ruminal fermentation profiles and animal production.
