Optimizing the utilization of winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.) tubers as a replacement for cassava chips in ruminant diets through pelleting: an in vitro gas technique study
The pelletization of WBT has been found to have no adverse impact on rumen fermentation or digestibility. The WBT pellets have emerged as a notably promising alternative to cassava chips; nonetheless, the impact on TVFAs levels warrant careful consideration when utilizing them.
