Here's a news story just out with cara-ranching in the Philippines. It's been found that whole corn plant ensilage and sugarcane tops (SCT) ensilage show the same ruminating parameters and comparable physical digestibility parameters, making them both available options in countries where they cultivate them and also in a country like Brazil where sugarcane is commonly planted and with corn as alternative crops to each other for livestock feeding. Additionally, the use of EnzymeTech in animal feeding is still to reach a new era with much needed discovery of lignase esterases (e. g. FAES), etherases and mysteriously designated lyases (that break C-C bonds in the lignin matrix). In material biomass like silting municipal sludge sewage (MSS), there are characterized breakdown products of reduced cyclohexane rings from the aromatic ring types, and side-group removal such as acid-catalyzed O-demethoxylations leading to various products such as methane, thiols and methylsulfides. There are also issues around the use of EnzymeTech with its pre-treated application through spraying then per os feeding in pelleted form for mixing and digestion in the rumen. An exciting future development is the use of non-GMO genetically regulatory organismal (GRO) inducement for XL-Grow varieties which cause early accelerated growth in sugarcane and corn plants lowering the lignified density of growing whole green plants for feed use for dedicated livestock-fed crops, in this case, in addition to slowing down the lignification process per se however far this can go. This presents a great advance in managing crop development in terms of: 1) end of harvest total crop yield, and 2) the digestible energy yield per tonne of crop for milk and LBM yield and from crop. On the other hand, the effectivity of the application process (dose per unit weight of feed particle, its time of exposure to breakdown lignin exposed, the moisture conditions and other additives to cause adherence or contact to feed particles) will have to be tested to optimize EnzymeTech's process operation and breakthroughs with feeds used on the farm currently. Lastly, it should be mentioned that there are agri-retailed feeds from "greenhouse" operations for fodders by the tonnage as demanded by nearby farms which can grow native low-lignin stock such as low-lignin green "salada" varieties of freshwater and marine seagrasses, although culturing conditions and manipulations have yet to be arrived at. They pose alternatives for high-capital conditions involving automated equipment for running the operational plant and is ideal with "twinning" with cost-effective phytopharm operations for drugs like the diabetic drug like insulin.
