During the feeding trial it was observed that spent Pleurotus compost was rejected
by the cattle. The animals would not eat it unless mixed with the silage. The original
intention was to have a maximum of 20% diet DM from compost in Group II, but that
amount was not acceptable to the animals. During the adjusting period they refused to
consume more than 17% DM of compost, so that was the amount which remained
during the trial.
