1. A process of conversion of low protein, cellulose containing waste into a fodder or fodder supplement, the process comprising the steps of:

  • (a) inoculating the waste under aerobic conditions with a first inoculum including at least one first microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates and at least one second microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into proteins to thereby efficiently convert at least a portion of said cellulose into nutritional proteins and prevent accumulation of said carbohydrates and thereby inhibition of said conversion of said cellulose into said carbohydrates; and

    (b) inoculating the waste, under anaerobic conditions, with a second inoculum including at least one third microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates and at least one fourth microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into a preservative organic acid to thereby efficiently convert at least a portion of said cellulose into said preservative organic acid and prevent accumulation of carbohydrates and thereby inhibition of said conversion of said cellulose into said carbohydrates.
