Metabolisable Energy

Although some aquatic plants have been used for ruminant diets in some parts of Turkey there is a lack of information about their nutritive values. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and metabolisable energy (ME) content of four different aquatic plants using in vitro gas production technique.

Proximate Analyses

The seeds from 18 Australian native plants were evaluated for their potential as food crops by assessing their nutritive values. Proximate analyses for water, protein and oil content were conducted, together with detailed analyses of the fatty acid content of the triglycerides, and of the amino acid content. Four plants, Hovea elliptica, Hardenbergia violacea, Crotalaria cunninghamii and Kennedia nigricans, were found to have a chemical composition which may have the potential for human food.

An experiment was conducted to compare the yield, composition and nutrient digestibility of gama (Tripsacum dactyloides), oat (Avena sativa) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) forages. Three fodders were cultivated and a metabolism trial was conducted with 3 indigenous sheep in a 3 × 3 Latin Square Design (LSD) for determination of nutrient digestibility. The fresh yield of gama was higher (P<0.05) than that of oat and sorghum. The yield of DM in gama and sorghum was similar and significantly higher (P<0.01) than oat. No significant differences (P>0.05) were observed in DM, OM, CP, NDF and ADF contents among the gama, oat and sorghum forages. The average DM and OM intake in sheep fed sorghum was higher (P<0.05) than that of oat or gama. Sheep fed sorghum or oat showed significantly (P<0.01) higher CP intake than gama. Average NDF and ADF intake was higher (P<0.05) in sheep fed sorghum followed by oat or gama, respectively. The DM digestibility of different forages was found non-significant (P>0.05). The OM digestibility of sorghum was found to be higher (P<0.05) compared to oat or gama. Digestibility of CP was significant (P<0.01) higher sorghum than oat (37 %) or gama (36 %). Higher NDF and ADF digestibility (P<0.05) were found in sorghum and oat, respectively than gama. It was concluded that sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is better than gama (Tripsacum dactyloides) and oat (Avena sativa) forages.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to assess the nutritive value of four elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) genotypes. The chemical composition, intake by sheep, and digestibility of different genotypes (G1, G2, G3, and G4) were evaluated. A dry matter (DM) digestibility assay was performed with total leftovers and feces collected from 20 sheep kept in metabolic cages. G3 had lower DM intake in grams per animal per day compared with G1 and G2, and it had greater digestibility, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber values. G1, G2, and G4 have the best nutritive values among the evaluated genotypes.
