| Abstract | This study is concerned with the handling of corn stover to
alleviate the dry season feed scarcity of draught ruminants during
the dry months from January to April.
A nutritional analysis was first conducted to find out the
nutritive values of corn s talks from crops grown at different
population densities. Three different populations were used
27 , 000, 53 , 000, and 80, 000 plants/ha.
Then the stalks were cured and stored with 3 diff e rent methods
