ABSTRACT:
Forage crop plant materials are treated with a laser thereby puncturing the epicuticular wax layer of the plant leaves rendering the materials more accessible to microbes and/or enzymes. The products of this treatment are characterized by enhanced digestibility and therefore have utility as upgraded ruminant feed.
