- Introduction
In Ilocos Norte (Philippines), there are very distinct dry (October to May) and wet seasons (June to September) and the average landholding of farmers is 0.30 ha. The available feed from grasses, weeds, and crop residues on the farm are very limiting to feed one or two work animals throughout the year. Hence, the need to make optimum use of available crop residues and agro-industrial by-products.
