This experiment was carried out to study palatability and digestibility of straw-manure silage with or without sugarcane molasses in three Corridale ram. Rice straw treated with 4 % NaOH was supplemented with 0 %, 7 %, and 15 % molasses on the DM basis instead of wheat bran and mixed with poultry man2017ure and ensiled for 80 days. There was no significant change in proximate composition of silage between control and molasses supplemented silage group. Lactic acid content of silage was increased according to substitute wheat bran for molasses. Butyric acid content of silage with 15 % molasses at 80 days of ensiling was determined as less than 0.1 mg/ml but silage with 7 % molasses was shown the lowest value of butyric acid through whole fermentation pe
