Book Description
In facing ever more limited resources and changing market conditions and in the attempt to enhance productivity for strengthening livelihoods, many technologies have been used to improve feed use and animal performance at the faro level. A particularly successful example, in terms of both geographic range of use and relative simplicity in formulation and preparation, is the urea-molasses multi-nutrient block technology. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of development and use of the block technology in countries around the world and it might be of great practical value to extension workers, students, researchers and those thinking of using such feed supplementation technology or of starting commercial production.

Book Description
Crop residues mainly rice straw, corn stover, wheat straw, millet straw, and other similar types of residues are predominantly used as basal feed for ruminants in Nepal. Poor quality forages and cereal straws are of low quality and digestible protein content. Protein supplements such as oil cakes are expensive to buy, if available at all. To improve production, the efficiency of utilization of the available feed resources can be optimized by the use of supplements that provide the deficient nutrients. This book, therefore highlights the use of molasses and non-protein-nitrogen sources such as urea, in the form of multinutrient blocks, to compensate for the nitrogen deficiency in fibrous feeds. Eight cross-bred dairy cows of 2nd to 3rd parity and between the 2nd to 5th months of lactation were selected and divided into two equal groups.One group was kept as a control (on routine feeding)and the other group was supplemented with Urea molasses multinutrient blocks (UMMB) 400g /cow/day for 30 days in addition to routine feeding.The results of this trial should motivate the farmers, especially of the developing countries, to adopt this feeding technology to their livestocks

Book Description
This open access book on straw management aims to provide a wide array of options for rice straw management that are potentially more sustainable, environmental, and profitable compared to current practice. The book is authored by expert researchers, engineers and innovators working on a range of straw management options with case studies from Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. The book is written for engineers and researchers in order to provide them information on current good practice and the gaps and constraints that require further research and innovation. The book is also aimed at extension workers and farmers to help them decide on the best alternative straw management options in their area by presenting both the technological options as well as the value chains and business models required to make them work. The book will also be useful for policy makers, required by public opinion to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, looking for research-based evidence to guide the policies they develop and implement.
