Determination of in vitro rumen digestibility and potential feed value of tiger nut varieties

Abstract: Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.), or chufa, is a plant that is found in nature and is cultivated for its edible tubers. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition, nutritive value, and in vitro digestibility of three tiger nut varieties using the in vitro gas production technique. These varieties were Sarışeker (yellow), Introduction 1, and Balyumru (brown). Rumen fluid was obtained from two cannulated Holstein animals. Time-dependent in vitro gas production was monitored at 3, 6, 9, … Show more

“…Forage nutritive value is determined by nutrient composition, particularly NFC, NDF, ADF and CP, as reported by Lyons et al (2019) and Wahyono et al (2019). Non-fibre carbohydrate includes rapidly fermentable carbohydrates (starch and soluble sugars) (Kondo et al, 2015) and is calculated through a formula that uses ash, EE, CP and NDF (Table 2) (Ayaşan et al, 2020b).…”

“…Santos et al (2018) demonstrate the production of biosurfactant from Yarrowia lipolytica IMUFRJ 50682 using tiger nut fiber and corn steep liquor as carbon and nitrogen sources. Ayaşan et al (2021) recommended the use of tigernut as a cheap energy source for ruminants based on its fat and carbohydrate values. Fiber waste from tigernut processing can be used in the development of eco-friendly materials with low thermal conductivity to be used as lowcost insulating materials (Okorie et al, 2020).…”

“…To determine the in vitro feed degradability, ruminal fluid, serum tubes, and experimental treatments were prepared exactly the same as the gas production procedure (Ayasan et al, 2020). The difference was that there were three replications for each treatment, tubes were immediately removed from the incubator after 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48m and 72 h of incubation, and transferred to a freezer at -21 °C to prevent further degradation.…”
