Isolation and identification of local white-rot fungi from West Sumatra and their potential for biodelignification of ruminant feed

The identified white-rot fungi have shown promising capabilities for lignin degradation in animal feed ingredients. However, further research is essential to ascertain the optimal enzyme ratio for lignin degradation and to enhance the identification techniques for a broader range of white-rot fungi species. This study provides a foundational step toward improving animal feed quality in the region, especially for ruminants.
