Description:
Ruminant wafers are wafers derived from processing vegetable wastes of the market and grass by destroying vegetables or waste and drying them and printing them into wafers form. This wafer is the solution to overcome the increasing amount of waste. Wafer vegetable waste has nutrition of protein, fiber, fat and Beta N. According to related studies, sheep that were given 50 percent of vegetable waste wafers and 50 percent of field grass increased body weight of 137.30 grams per head per day or 24 percent higher than those fed only field grass wafers (110.71 grams per head per day).
