Assessment of ramie leaf (Boehmeria nivea L. gaud) as an animal feed supplement in P.R. China

Consideration of the nutritional value of slops suggested its use as growth media for the production of fodder molds. Rum distillery slops supported better mold growth than the medium recommended for its growth. Best results were obtained with strain Aspergillus phoenicis isolated from contaminated slops in our laboratory.

Potential Use

The growth of different strains of Aspergilli used in this study was affected by changes in the pH of the slops. Best results were obtained at pH 4.8 or higher. The slops from two distilleries differed in composition, but this did not affect mold growth and did not alter consequent reductions of BOD and total sugars in the treated product. BOD reductions in diluted slops were higher (75%) than in undiluted slops (56%), increasing with slops dilution. Best results were obtained with a slops water dilution of 1:2.

The Cost

AbstractMost of the commercial ruminant feeds comprise Corn meal, Groundnut cake, Maize etc., which contain anti-nutritional factors called Phytates. They have high binding affinity to cationic minerals. This results in decrease in activity of the cattle by making minerals unavailable for absorption in the intestine. Many of the feed industries add Phytase enzyme that degrades the Phytic acid. Addition of Phytase enzyme is very complex method and increases the cost of the feed. If Phytase is not added, Phytic acid enters the ecosystem through the dung and due to microbial degradation, the Phytic acid gets converted into Phosphates. Phosphate abundance in water bodies leads to Eutrophication, which is a serious ecological issue. And also, in many parts of the country, post-harvest Paddy straw is burnt unused. This intentional stubble burning causes air pollution. We combined paddy straw and Azolla along with jaggery to prepare animal feed supplement. The feed pellets were evaluated for their nutritional composition and efficacy. The efficacy of the developed feed was evaluated by feeding it to milch cows and compared with regular feed for a period of 15 days. The Azolla-Hay feed improved the milk yield and also quality of the milk in comparison to the control group. This study revealed that Azolla in combination with paddy straw powder can be low-cost feed alternative especially during the lean period where the availability of feed is scarce.

Endophytic Microorganisms

Currently, endophytic microorganisms have become a good source of different enzymes and others metabolites of industrial interest. Among a huge spectral of molecules, enzymes as phytases have been emphasized by the ability to hydrolyze the phytic acid that represents the largest storage form of inorganic phosphorus in cereals, which are the staple diet of monogastric animals such as swine and poultry. Moreover, phytic acid acts as an antinutrient by chelating divalent metal ions, and it is interesting provide phytase as an animal feed supplement for those monogastric animals. In the current study, 158 endophytic bacteria isolated from the leaves of three cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris were assessed for the ability to produce phytase. Among them, four isolates belonging to the Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Microbacterium and Rhodococcus genera were highlighted, due their phytase production. The phytase produced by Microbacterium foliorum BAC1157 exhibited activity at 70 oC and stability in the presence of divalent cations, indicating that this phytase has a promising use in the animal feed industry. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report on phytase production by bacteria of the Microbacterium genera.
