| Abstract | ||
| The aim of the present study is to predict new large animal feed ration using bagasse by densification process with the aid of soy bean, bran, corn, molasses, bagasse and slate using linear programing model to get the optimal feed mixture from the view point of minimization of the total cost and maximization of nutritional value of the animal feed. Bagasse of moisture content 10 w.b was crushed to 3 – 7 mm and prepared at three different controlled moisture contents 30, 35 and 40 %, three different mixture temperature 35, 50 and 65 ºC using controlled temperature water bath, then compressed through 6, 8 and 10 mm die diameters at three different pressure levels of 7.5, 10 and 12.5 MPa. The cost of the new alternative ration is less than the traditional one by 26 %. | ||
