Solid-state fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum improves the chemical composition, in vitro digestibility, and sensory characteristics of Sporobolus pyramidalis as a potential goat feed

Sporobolus pyramidalis is an invasive grass that has dominated vast areas of rangelands globally; however, its utilization as animal feed is severely limited by poor palatability, a tough texture, and low digestibility. This study evaluated the potential of solid-state fermentation using locally available starter cultu...
