ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an alkali-treated bagasse prepared by softening a bagasse with calcium oxide together with or without sodium hydroxide while preventing the substantial decomposition of cellulose and hemicellulose, a bagasse feed and a fermented bagasse feed prepared from the alkali-treated bagasse, and their preparations and uses as well as bacteria for fermenting the alkali-treated bagasse. These bagasse and bagasse feeds save sugar-refinery industries from the difficulties to treat bagasse deemed as an unutilized industrial waste, and livestock farming industries from the shortage of roughage, and further is extremely significant in agriculture, industries of sweetening products, feed industries and livestock product processors. A bacterium strain particularly useful for the fermentation is Enterococcus faecium FERM BP-4504.
