Abstract Research objectives were to evaluate and to analyze in vitro gas production and cinetical fermentation of Kupang’s local feed. The feed materials were dried and grinded for nutrient and gas produced analysis. Collected data were chemical composition, in vitro gas production, cinetical fermentation, short chain fatty acids, energy metabolic, and organic matter digestation. The result showed that the materials have different gas production. Commonly, the higher the carbohydrate content the higher the gas production; the higher the protein and the fat content the lower the gas production. Total gas productions of each material after 96 hours incubation were 53.88 ml/0.5 g DM for the high fat content feed, 92.26 and 159.25 ml/0.5 DM for the high protein and high carbohydrate content. Regarding total production, the fermented fraction gas productions were 44.662; 82.54 and 153.462 ml/0.5 g DM. The short chain fatty acids produced were 0.31; 0.51 and 1.28 mM. The feed organic matter digestations produced were 42.2; 55.91 and 68.8 % for each feed with a high content of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Conclusively comparing with the protein and carbohydrate feed sources, the higher the fat content the lower the gas production, short chain fatty acids, and organic matter digestion.

The predominant increase in the price of feedstuffs and the consistent shift in climate have increased the cost of producing animal protein and an attendant increase in the search of available and valuable plant options in combating this problem. The study aimed to evaluate the nutritive value of ten identified water weeds (Polygonum lanigerum, Nymphaea lotus, Paspalum scrobiculatum, Ascroceras zizanioides, Ipomea aquatica, Panicum sulbabidum, Sacciolepis africana, Leersia hexandra, Heteranthera callifolia and Dicksonia antartica) via in vitro digestibility studies. The gas production was measured by incubating samples in buffered ruminal fluid from goats for 96hr. Cumulative gas production was recorded at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 66, 72, 84 and 96 hour of incubation periods and the organic matter digestibility (OMD), short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and metabolizable energy (ME) were also estimated. Results indicated that the total gas production varied significantly (P<0.05) at 24 and 48 hours incubation. Gas production ranged between 4.67 ml and 14.00 ml with least and highest obtained in Sacciolepis Africana and Ipomea aquatic, respectively. The Metabolizable energy (MJ/KgDM) recorded in all weeds differed (P<0.05) in all hours of incubation. Paspalum scrobiculatum and Dicksonia antartica recorded the least value at 24 and 48 hours incubation while Nymphaea lotus and Dicksonia antartica had the least value at 72 and 96 hours incubation. Heteranthera callifolia had the highest organic matter digestibility (%) while the least short chain fatty acid (μmol) was observed in Dicksonia antartica at 24, 48 and 96 hours incubation. Based on the results of this study, these plants had the potentials of being fed to livestock especially during the dry season when forage feeds are generally scarce.

The present study was planned to evaluate the chemical composition and nutritive values of commonly available pulse chunies of Green gram (GGC), Black gram (BGC), Bengal gram (BnGC) and Red gram (RGC) available in the local markets of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. These chunies were subjected to chemical analysis followed by measurement of in vitro gas production (IVGP) with sheep rumen liquor. By calculation, in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), total digestible nutrient (TDN), Metabolizable Energy (ME) was determined. DM (P<0.001), CP (P<0.001), CF (P<0.001), TA (P<0.001), NDF (P<0.001), ADF (P<0.001), cellulose (P<0.01), hemicelluloses (P<0.001), lignin (P<0.01) silica (P<0.001) and Ca (P<0.05) varied significantly. The cumulative gas production in IVGP technique at 0-2, 0-4, 0-6, 0-8, 0-12 and 0-18h incubations varied significantly. The TDN and ME content were highest (P<0.01) in GGC. IVOMD (mg/24h) was comparable (P>0.05) among them. The study concluded that these chunies are good energy sources. GGC was the best with respect to its energy and organic matter digestibility among these. High protein and energy contents of BGC and GGC signified that these can be a good feed replacement of concentrates for livestock feeding.

A previous study (Mauricio et al., 1998) with 12 forage substrates (straw, hay and dried grasses) showed a high correlation between rumen liquor and faeces for total gas production and in vitro organic matter digestibility (OMD). However parameters estimated using faecal inoculum were generally lower man when using rumen liquor. To confirm this observation, a second study was conducted using maize silage and silages made from maize plant fractions.
