Production of dairy cow pellets from pineapple leaf waste
Pineapple leaf waste is a by-product generated after pruning activity at farm sites. Usually, the waste is thrown away and left at the farm sites until it decomposes naturally. One of the possible solutions in handling the pineapple leaf waste is by converting it into animal feeds. Interestingly, fe...
