ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process of treating cellulosic plant matter to increase the digestability thereof by animals, in which finely divided plant matter, such as sawdust, rice hulls, bagasse, wheat straw or the like, is mixed with water and nitric acid and a nonoxidizing acid, such as sulfuric, phosphoric, hydrochloric or acetic, to produce a mixture of about 20% water, 1/4 to 1% oxygen based on the oven dried weight of organic material, the oxygen being released from the nitric acid, and a pH of 0.5 to 3.5, and cooking the mixture in a pressurized vessel at about 125 psig for 30 to 60 minutes. The cooked product may then be neutralized to raise the pH to a desired level for animal feed.
