“…Gas production during in vitro incubation indicates ruminal degradation and microbial activity [ 27 ], and a higher b fraction indicates higher rumen undegradable protein (RUP) content [ 28 ]. Yuan and Wan [ 29 ], and Ayaşan et al [ 30 ] reported negative values for Part a, which is consistent with the findings of the current investigation. However, negative values for Parts a and b are not biologically acceptable.…”

The modeling process has a wide range of applications in animal nutrition. The purpose of this work is to determine whether particle swarm optimization (PSO) could be used to explain the fermentation curves of some legume forages. The model suited the fermentation data with minor statistical differences (R2 > 0.98). In addition, reducing the number of iterations enhanced this method’s benefits. Only Models I and II could successfully fit the fermentability data (R2 > 0.98) in the vetch and white clover fermentation curve because the negative parameters (calculated in Models III and IV) were not biologically acceptable. Model IV could only fit the alfalfa fermentation curve, which had higher R values and demonstrated the model’s dependability. In conclusion, it is advised to use PSO to match the fermentation curves. By examining the fermentation curves of feed materials, animal nutritionists can obtain a broader view of what ruminants require in terms of nutrition.

“…This could be justified by the fact that AMFs can improve inorganic and organic soil N mobilization (Halder et al, 2015). In addition, the increase in the CP content of forage legumes could be attributed to the increase in nutrient uptake of N to extra-radical mycorrhizae hyphae beyond the root hair and nutrient depletion zones (Ayasan et al, 2020). The present results are in line with findings by Ashrafi et al (2014) and Ben-Laouane et al (2021), which indicated that the dual inoculation of AMF and Rhizobia bacteria had a positive effect on the CP content of alfalfa forage legume.…”

Smallholder livestock production in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa has been hampered by a lack of high-quality feed. As such, improving ruminant nutrition using optimized production of herbaceous forage legumes has been suggested. However, the production of forage legumes for livestock feed is poor in communal areas in the province due to the necessity to use high levels of chemical fertilizers to provide high-quality feed that meets animal nutrient demands. The current study aimed at investigating the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Rhizobium inoculation on the chemical composition of three herbaceous forage legumes, namely, Vigna unguiculata (cowpea), Lablab purpureus (lablab), and Mucuna pruriens (mucuna). The field trials were established over two growing seasons (2017/2018 and 2018/2019) at the University of Fort Hare Research Farm (South Africa) and were carried out as a 3 x 2 x 2 factorial experiment arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 12 treatments that were replicated 4 times. The 12 treatments included three legume species (cowpea, lablab, and mucuna), two AMF (with and without AMF inoculation), and two Rhizobia inoculations (with or without). The results showed that the dual inoculation of AMF and Rhizobia bacteria significantly (p < 0.05) increased the contents of crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber, hemicellulose, ash, magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) of three herbaceous forage legumes. Furthermore, solo inoculation with AMF or Rhizobia bacteria resulted in substantially higher potassium (K), Ca, and Mg cation ions, and Ca/P, Zn, manganese (Mn), and Fe concentrations in forage legumes than in other treatments. In conclusion, the dual inoculation produced optimal nutrient accumulation in both growing seasons when compared to single inoculation and uninoculated forages. Therefore, this could assist in alleviating livestock malnutrition in smallholder farming.

“…Poor animal nutrition is one of the main factors restricting livestock productivity [8]. Te poor quality, nutrient content, and digestibility of crop residues can be improved and degraded using various methods such as grinding, stream processing, chemical methods (such as alkaline treatments and other chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide, sulfur dioxide, urea, or chlorine), and biological methods (such as fungal treatment, inoculants, enzymes, or alternative additives) have been utilized separately or in combination [12][13][14]. However, improving the nutritional content of crop residues is not very common in Ethiopia due to lack of knowledge, lack of funding, and availability of chemicals for treatment [5,15].…”

Livestock is important and plentiful in Ethiopia, but its potential is not being used to its full extent due to limited supply and inconsistent feed supply. This has a negative impact on livestock productivity in the tropics, where crop residues are used as livestock feed. The analysis of the nutritional content of feed and the measurement of feed production are crucial for maintaining the optimal balance of annual livestock feed and improving livestock production. However, no research has been conducted on the nutritional composition of the crop residues in the East Gojjam zone. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the nutritional content of crop residues in the three agroecologies in Ethiopia’s East Gojjam zone. Ash, dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and acid detergent lignin (ADL) were analyzed in the feed samples. According to the findings, the overall mean content of DM, ash, OM, CP, NDF, ADF, and ADL was 92.3, 5.2, 87.1, 4.1, 71, 56.6, and 9.6%, respectively. The faba bean has the highest CP (6.2%), followed by barley straws (5.5%), vetch haulms (5.5%), Eragrostis tef (3.7%), wheat straws (3.2%), and maize stover (2.9%). In general, all crop residues contain CP content below the critical CP level required even for livestock maintenance. The highest NDF was found in barley straw (75.1%), which was followed by wheat straw (72.0%), Eragrostis tef straw (70.2%), vetch haulms (69.3%), maize stover (67.4%), and faba bean haulms (67.2%). All types of crop residues were classified as low-quality feed because they contained more than 65% NDF, which could affect feed intake and livestock production. Therefore, crop residues must be improved using mechanical, biological, and chemical methods in order to increase livestock production in the study areas by increasing feed consumption.
