Extract

Palm date leaves is an agricultural by product with high levels of lignocellulosic materials that limite its bioavailability for microbial and gastrointestinal tract enzymes. It contains more than 40 percent cellulose and 20 percent hemicellulose. The nature of steam treatment was acid hydrolysis which effectively affected cell wall fractions (Castro et al, 1993). Production of palm date leaves in Iran is more than 500,000 ton annually. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of steam pressure and reaction time on chemical composition and bioavailability of palm date leaves to rumen microbes.
