The consistency of UMMB facilitates gradual licking along with intake of straws that provide a more balanced nutrients pool supply to the microbial growth vis-à-vis microbial digestion of cellulosic straws and thereby improvement in the availability of nutrients. The main advantages are: better way to manage crop residues; improves productive and reproductive performance; reduces methane emission; better health status; scope for value addition blocks as a vehicle for medicine or nutraceutical administration; better economic returns. Moreover, feed banks of UMMBs can be set up by the Government to provide balanced feeding of ruminants under field conditions. This technology is very simple, easily adoptable and convenient for the easy transportation and also safe storage at dry place for reasonably long period.
