Effect of feeding tamarind kernel powder extract residue on digestibility, nitrogen availability and ruminal fermentation in wethers

Abstract: ObjectiveThis study was to examine in vivo digestibility, nitrogen balance and ruminal fermentation of tamarind (Tamarind indica) kernel powder extract residue (TKPER) compared to soybean products and by-products in wethers.MethodsFour wethers with initial body weight (BW) of 51.6±5.5 kg were assigned in a 4×4 Latin square design to investigate nutritional characteristics of TKPER, dry heat soybean (SB), dry soybean curd residue (SBCR) and soybean meal (SBM) feeding with ryegrass straw (R) at a ratio of 1:1 at… Show more

“…The ED values of the CP of TKPER I were 71.4% and 49.7% at the ruminal outflow rates of 0.02 and 0.05/h, respectively. In our preliminary in vivo experiment (Wang et al ), the total tract digestibility of the CP in TKPER I was 94.6%, which is higher than the in situ ED of the CP of TKPER I. The difference might be due to the digestion of ruminal undegradable protein of TKPER I in the lower digestive tract.…”

“…There might be another reason for the difference in findings: the wethers in the previous study (Wang et al 2016) were allowed adequate time to adapt to the test feeds. Here we investigated the delay of gas production for all five test feeds (Table 3), which might also reflect the problem of rumen fluid adaptation for the test feeds.…”

“…Next to such characterization, Wang et al. () saw that tamarind kernel did not bring any side effects after feeding ruminants, although there was a lack of fiber. In a similar study, Menezes et al.…”

“…There was a reduction of mt (ml/g DM) of 0.16 mL with the inclusion of 100 g/kg tamarind residue in the cassava silage. The decrease can be explained by the increase in tannins in the residue complexing with proteins, which may reduce the availability of nutrients for fermentation and consequently depress the rate of carbohydrate degradation (Vázquez et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2016). This fact also explains the reduction that occurred in DMD in vitro.…”

“…This plant originates in Africa but can currently be found in many tropical countries. The pulp of its fruit is edible and the tamarind processing industry generates tamarind residues after the drying process (Wang et al, 2016). Therefore it was hypothesized that because of its chemical composition (DM = 880 g/kg feed and CP = 75 g/kg DM) dried tamarind residue could be added at up to 300 g/kg as an additive to improve cassava silage and reduce losses due to fermentation and that this silage could be used as a lamb diet where it would increase feed intake and digestibility and improve nitrogen (N) balance growth performance and carcass quality of lambs.…”
