MUSHROOM STEM POWDER FOR FEED AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SILAGE USING THE POWER

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain a cattle feed by effectively utilizing mushroom stem which has not been utilized as a food but has been wasted heretofore. CONSTITUTION:Mushroom is cultured by inoculating a seed mycelium to a mushroom-cultivation medium containing finely crushed calcium carbonate as an agent for pH adjustment. The edible part is collected from the cultured mushroom and the remaining mushroom stem is dried, crushed and used as an additive for silage. The silage prepared by using the silage additive has excellent quality and palatability and is utilizable as a cattle feed.
