The potential health benefits of sprouted grains are well known; Sprouted grains are good sources of chlorophyll and contain grass juice factor that improves the performance of the livestock (Sneath and Mclntosh 2003, Shipard 2005).Feeding of quality green fodder to dairy animals is highly essential to maintain the productivity, fertility and economical viability of the farm. The major factors responsible for the unavailability of green fodder are scarcity of land due to small land holding size, shortage of water or saline water and labour (Naik et al. 2013). In this scenario, supplementation of sprouted grains in the ration of dairy animals is coming up as a viable alternate technology to conventional green fodder for the livestock farmers (Naik et al. 2015). However, only a few reports are available on the feeding value of the sprouted maize grains to the dairy animals in India (Naik et al. 2012, 2014).Therefore, an experiment was conducted to find out the
effect of feeding sprouted maize grains on digestibility of nutrients in heifers.
