TROFREC, or is one of the research centers situated at the Faculty of Agriculture, Khon Kaen University, Thailand.

TROFREC's mandate is to undertake research work in areas of animal feed resources, feeding systems, technology transfers in related areas, as well as human resources development ranging from farmers to technical/academic and higher-learning personnel.

Research projects include the uses of urea-treated rice straw

Urea-treated rice straw

Urea-treated rice straw is produced using a solution of 100 kg water and 5 kg urea of fertilizer grade. The urea is sprinkled or poured over a stack of air-dried straw, 100 kg and covered with plastic covers to prevent mavement of air for 10 days. The straw is then fed directly to...
