| Description: |
Abstract In the context of climate change, the expanding cultivation of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) results in substantial waste generation, posing environmental and pollution challenges. Valorization of this waste, particularly phoenix dactylifera seeds, presents a promising and eco-conscious strategy. This in vitro study innovatively evaluated the impacts of adding phoenix dactylifera seed-derived biochar (PSB) at concentrations of 0%, 1%, 2%, and 4% on gas production, methane (CH4) emissions, nutrient degradability, fermentation parameters, and predicted cattle performance. The results indicated that 4% PSB significantly increased gas production at 12 h of incubation (p |
