Cane tops as cattle fodder

primefact cover
Primefact Number: 314    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: 01 Feb 2007

Sugarcane tops are a by-product of sugarcane harvesting, comprising green leaves, the leaf bundle sheath and some immature cane.

Unfortunately, there is little accurate information regarding the nutritional value of sugarcane tops, owing to large differences in varieties, and whether it is one year or two year cane. This Primefact discusses:

  • nutritive value
  • potential residue risks.
