Although silage or hay is a good source
of roughage in the dry season, most farmers make no
attempt to preserve roughage. However, many available
forms of agricultural waste and agricultural
by-products, e.g. rice straw, corn stover, soybean
straw, soybean pod, soybean hull, sugarcane tops and
bagasses can also be utilized as dairy feed in the dry
season (Table 1).
