Abstract
Lignocellulose material is mechanically compacted and subjected to sudden pressure increase by exposure to saturated steam in a digestor vessel in the absence of added chemical reagents to obtain a cooked material which is then mechanically compacted while under said saturated steam pressure. Small portions of the cooked and mechanically compacted material are thereafter subjected to rapid reduction in pressure down to atmospheric pressure and then recovered in a condition of enhanced digestibility by ruminants.
