Description
Xiaohui Kong and co-authors published a research paper in 2026 on a pressed feed made from peanut vines, corn, and urea that helps beef cattle gain weight. Peanut vines are a cheap crop leftover, but cattle digest them poorly raw. Pressing the mix under heat and pressure was meant to unlock more of its value.
Bag tests in the rumen picked a winning recipe at sixty-five parts vine to thirty corn and five urea. Then thirty-six cattle were fed for sixty days, half on the new feed. Those cattle ate more, gained faster each day, and earned slightly more profit per head. Their rumen germ mix shifted toward fiber-cutting kinds.
