A method for treating lignocellulosic substrates which include lignin containing cell wall components that protect structural polysaccharides from digestion wherein the method improves the nutritive value of the substrate and consists essentially of the steps of: chemically treating a plant substrate with a sufficient amount of an alkaline material and hydrogen peroxide or a compound which generates hydrogen peroxide, for a sufficient period of time to substantially disrupt the cell wall and substantially delignify non-woody lignocellulostic substrates to thereby obtain a blended mixture having a consistency of at least 20%; and simultaneously extruding the chemically treated plant substrate, wherein at least part of the chemical treatment occurs during extruding, wherein a product having increased nutrient ability is produced, wherein essentially all the polysaccharide up to about 80% is being made available for ruminal digestion and wherein the blended mixture has a consistency of at least 20%.
