Design formulation of rabbit feed based on palm kernel cake (PKC) and oil palm frond (OPF)

Design formulation of rabbit feed based on palm kernel cake (PKC) and oil palm frond (OPF)

Palm oil miling is a major industry in Malaysia. The total area under oil palm estates cover more than 2 million hectares.The industry,besides producing palm oil, also produces by-products such as palm kernel cake(PKC)and oil palm frond (OPF) which is usable as animal feed.Palm oil mills in Malaysia...
