/ , <br /> AIM treated leaves could have potential as a or forage alone h <br /> 1 Air <br /> g they could have value <br /> as a product that could alter digestion and utilization of feeds that are more typically <br /> Led to ruminants (lung, 1988). The objectives of theses <br /> evaluate the feeding value of AHP treated tree leas <br /> sand determine whether the <br /> can alter digestion and'utilization of protein and fiber of other feeds. y <br /> The economic benefits to Wisconsin are two-fold. This research may be able to <br /> demonstrate to municipalities an economical alternative for disposal of tree leaves <br /> and it may provide data for livestock producers who may be interested in <br /> purchasing a AHP treated tree leaves as low cost forage substitute. <br /> Credentials of Investigator: <br /> Prindpal investigator: David K.
