| Research Abstract |
The study area was Satsuma town in Kagoshima Prefecture. We selected unmanaged bamboo stand and established the bamboo regeneration research site. Our experimental design was the combination of strip clear cutting width (5m, 10m and 20m)and cutting seasons in July, September and March. Monitoring results showed that cutting seasons influenced bamboo biomass regeneration.
We created new silage that made of fiberied bamboo chips with wheat bran and fermentation residue of Shochu spirits. It would be a suitable forage for a rumination livestock animals.
The next step was a feeding experiment of this silage to breeding cows under the cooperation of a livestock farmer. Although there were differences in individual preferences in a few days, all cows ate at all. There were no abnomal reactions of feeding the silage.
In addition, we tried to evaluate the function of fiberied bamboo for multi and compost materials, and it would be a good material for multi and compost under some conditions.
