Abstract

Feeding of decaffeinated tea waste alongwith wheat bran (40:60) to crossbred cattle decreased the digestibilities of DM and CP significantly (P < 0.01) as compared to ration which contained wheat bran as a sole ingredient of concentrate. However, the digestibilities of EE, CF and NFE were not influenced significantly. The DCP and TDN values of DCTW were 11.6 and 52.4% respectively as worked out by the method of elimination.
