In November 1976, FAO organised a technical consultationon new feed resources (PA011976). One session of this consultation was devoted to the improved utilisation of poor quality roughages. It was noted that a number of methods of treating straws to improve their feeding value.have been developed and that the widspread application of these methods could substantially increase effective feed resources. The coonomic feasibility ot these methods was however queetioned. As a follow up action, ther efore, arranged for the services of a consultant, Dr. M.G. Jackson, Professor of Animal Nutrition at the G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, India, to make an assessment of the feasibility of straw treatment from both technical and economic points of view.
