Introduction: Costa Rica Ministry of agriculture and animal husbandry has successfully used banana stem as supplementary feed for dairy cows In this way, we can reduce the import amount of the auxiliary feed corn and find a feasible substitute for the shortage of forage in the dry season According to the materials provided by the Ministry of agriculture and animal husbandry, banana branches and stalks can be cut off after harvesting, dried and dehydrated, and then crushed and stored When feeding cows, the crushed banana branches and stalks are mixed with the mixed feed, and the effect is very good The protein content of the dehydrated banana stem is 6% - 8%, which is higher than the energy of the green grass feed, and it has a certain water content, is easy to be digested by dairy cows, and the cost is relatively low Costa Rica is rich in bananas The success of the test of auxiliary feed can not only greatly reduce the pollution caused by banana branches and stalks in banana producing areas, but also solve the problem of feed supply and reduce the production cost of milk in areas where cow feed is in short supply.
