The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of forage legume diets on haematological and biochemical indices of Xhosa goats. Eighteen animals, one-year-old, of average live weight 14.13 ± 0.24 kg were assigned, in a completely randomized design, to three treatment diets. Animals were housed individually and sex was equally represented among treatments with 6 animals per treatment. Weights and blood samples were taken every fortnight. A pair of blood samples (5 ml each) were collected from each goat, via jugular vein puncture and were subjected to either haematological or biochemical analysis. The results show that treatment diets and sex significantly ( P < 0.05) affected DMI, total gain, ADG, and feed conversion ratio. Treatment diets and sex had no effects ( P > 0.05) on serum total proteins, globulins, urea, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma- glutamyl transferase concentrations. The diet influenced albumin was ( P < 0.05) while sex influenced ALP concentration ( P < 0.05). Measured over time, the plasma concentration of urea and ALP significantly increased ( P < 0.05) while creatinine and cholesterol concentration decreased ( P < 0.05). Although the overall blood biochemical properties remain unchanged among the treatments and between sexes; treatment by sex, treatment by day and sex by day interactions were significant ( P < 0.05). The white blood cells, red blood cell, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, haemoglobin, haematocrit, and platelet and mean platelet volume levels were similar among treatments and between sexes ( P > 0.05). The mean cell volume and red cell distribution width were different among treatments ( P < 0.05). Treatment diets significantly ( P < 0.05) influenced neutrophil (%) content while sex influenced basophile (%) content. In conclusion forage legumes did not cause toxicity in goats or any pathological condition.

“…This indicated that the majority of the glycoalkaloids were degraded during the potato ensiling process, which suggested that the silage might be safe for consumption by ruminants. This finding is consistent with that reported by Malecky et al [22]. In the present study, the addition of FA at 75% moisture content resulted in the fastest degradation rate, while the slowest degradation was found in the CF-treated silage at 55% moisture content.…”

“…In the current study, the CP contents of the fresh PV was 18.49% DM, which was comparable with the CP in alfalfa, corroborating the studies of Salehi et al [23], Luo and Guo [40], and Muck et al [3]. Potato vines constitute a potential protein source in ruminant diets and can partially replace protein fodder [22,54]. The CP contents of the control treatment were lower by approximately 3.5% compared with the FA-treated PV.…”

“…Substantial efforts are currently being made to develop new and improved ensilage treatments, but few studies have focused on the use of agricultural by-products. Currently, most studies on potato vine have reported on glycoalkaloids chemical composition and have explored the ensiling process [20,4], and glycoalkaloid toxicity in small ruminants [21,22], whereas limited studies on evaluating the degradation of glycoalkaloids, and the quantitative degradation of potato glycoalkaloids during ensiling [7,23].…”

The objectives of this research were to evaluate the effects of raw material moisture content and additives on the fermentation quality and degradation of glycoalkaloids in potato vine silage and to explore new approaches for feedstuff preservation with the aim of providing a source of sustainable livestock feed. Potato vine was partially wilted to three different target moisture contents [approx. 75% (M1), 65% (M2), and 55% (M3)] and treated with (1) formic acid [1.5% fresh weight (FW), FA]; (2) pre-fermented juices (5.0 mL kg −1 FW, PFJ); (3) corn flour (100 g kg −1 DM, CF); (4) potato pulp (30% FW, PP); and (5) no additives (control). After 45 days of ensiling with polyethylene (100 mL), the fermentation quality, chemical composition, and concentration of glycoalkaloids were determined. The results showed that silage quality and glycoalkaloid concentration were significantly influenced by moisture content and additives (P < 0.05). Lactic acid (LA), pH, acid detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) increased slightly with decreasing moisture content; in contrast, the concentration of LA/AA declined. LA content was highest and pH and acetic acid (AA) were lowest at M1 compared with M2 and M3. Little to no butyric acid (BA) was detected in the presence of additives. The FA-treated silage exhibited a significantly reduced pH value and ammonia-N/total-N (NH 3-N/TN) content (P < 0.05) and an increased concentration of LA and watersoluble carbohydrates (WSCs). PP-treated silage provided sufficient fermentation substrate, and the DM and WSC contents increased significantly (P < 0.05) compared with the PFJ and CF treatments. Supplementation with PFJ resulted in the pH of the ensiled forage stabilizing at approximately 4.40. With the addition of CF, the LA:AA ratios of the different moisture content treatments were 2.42, 2.15, and 1.75, respectively, which were significantly lower than 3:1 in the other treatments at all moisture contents. The potato glycoalkaloid content of the PV silage increased with decreasing moisture level. Glycoalkaloid concentration was significantly reduced to 0.55, 4.57, and 7.73 100 mg g −1 , respectively (P < 0.05), in the different moisture treatments by the addition of FA. In conclusion, the best quality PV silage was produced at 75% moisture content with the addition of FA. Additive ensiling thus constitutes an effective approach for potato vine preservation.
