“…The grass hay nutritive value declined with advanced stage of harvesting and in general grasses should be harvested for hay making immediately before or at the beginning of flowering (Tolera, 2008). The NDF content of DMLM was similar to value of 324 g/kg DM reported by Vu et al (2011) while its ADF content was within the range of 186.7 -246.7 g/kg DM reported by Kabi and Bareeba (2008) for mulberry leaves. The ADL of DMLM in the present study was nearly similar with previous findings of 41 g/kg DM (Kandylis et al, 2009) and 46.5 g/kg DM (Atiso et al, 2012).…”

The study was conducted at Abergelle Agricultural Research Center, Ethiopia using 24 yearling intact male Abergelle sheep with initial body weight of 17.52 ± 1.13 kg. The objectives were to evaluate substitution of dried mulberry (Morus indica L.) leaf meal (DMLM) for concentrate mix (CM) on feed intake, digestibility, body weight gain and carcass characteristics, and to determine cost benefit analysis of the supplementary regimes. The study comprised 90 days of feeding trial, 7 days of digestibility trial and carcass evaluation at the end. Six sheep were randomly assigned to each treatment using randomized complete block design. The treatments included feeding of ad libitum natural grass hay and supplementation with 100% CM (T1); 75% CM + 25% DMLM (T2); 50% CM + 50% DMLM (T3) and 25% CM + 75% DMLM (T4) on DM basis. The supplements were prepared isonitrogenous and they were offered to meet daily CP requirements of 80.4, 95.7 and 108 g for rams with body weight of 15, 20 and 25 kg, respectively. At beginning of experiment, amount of supplements provided were 439.49, 440.51, 440.75 and 440.50 g on DM basis for T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. The CM contained noug seed cake (NSC) and wheat bran (WB) at ratio of 19.28: 80.72, 14.14: 60.86, 9.04: 40.96 and 3.92: 21.08 for T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. The CP content of grass hay, WB, NSC and DMLM were 7.20, 16.80, 33.40 and 20.20%, respectively. The OM, CP, NDF, ADF and ADL intakes and digestibilities were similar among treatments but, hay and total DM intakes as well as DM digestibility were significantly higher (p<0.05) in T3 than T1. Calculated ME was greater (p<0.01) in T3 and T2 than T4 but similar in T1, T2 and T3. There was no significant differences among treatments for feed conversion efficiency, final body weight, ADG and most carcass parameters measured. The partial budget analysis showed that T4 had highest economical gain. Therefore, T4 is recommended on both biologically and economically efficient supplementary regime for Abergelle sheep.

“…The low effective CP degradability defoliation 60 dan 90 days compared to 30 days in this study may be due to the high tannin levels reported earlier (Tuwei et al 2003). The effective CP degradability with decreasing cutting frequency was also associated with decrease in leaf:steam ratio and increased lignification of the fibre at the expense of CP (Kabi & Bareeba 2008). Therefore, management options that involve cutting mulberry regrowth at maturities of 30 days, when the leaf:stem ratio is greater than 1.0, is crucial in making a decision when to harvest forage with high nutritional value.…”

“…Leaf/stem obtained in the present study were higher than reported by Ginting et al (2013), (0,73). On the other hand, Kabi & Bareeba (2008) who showed that Morus alba on different cutting frequencies 1 and 2 month were higher than this research, leaf:stem ratio 3.3, 2.3, respectively. The ratio of leaves/stems of plants is important to know because it affects the amount of consumption and nutrient content, generally the amount of consumption and nutrient content obtained at higher than the leaves on the stem.…”

ABSTRAKThe high cost of feedstuffs is the problem in the development of ruminants, therefore finding new species is one of the strategies to increase the availability of feed. Mulberry (Morus spp.) is one of potential diversity of forage that can be used as animal feed. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of cutting interval on biomass yield, chemical composition and digestibility several species of mulberry as animal feed. In a factorial randomized block design, four species of mulberry was divided into 48 equal plots and subjected to three cutting intervals of 30, 60 and 90 days, each with four replications. The number of branches and the leaf:stem ratio was significant (P<0.05) on 30 days, Dry matter yield higher significant on 60 days, chemichal composition on DM was higher (P<0.05) of 41.53 on species M. nigra, influence on 60 days defoliation. The content of OM was highest on 30 days defoliation and not significanly different each species (averages 90.28%). The higher frequency of defoliation cause the lower of CP content in mulberry. NDF on the M. cathayana has the lower fiber fraction among the three other species. ADF do not indicate the significance of each defoliation and species of mulberry treatment. These data suggest that species M. cathayana conducted on 30 and 60 days cutting interval could be potential feed source for livestock ruminants.

“…Acero-Camelo et al (2009) also reported low CP content of Calliandra (14.3%). The CP content of Calliandra decreased with increasing plant maturity from 21% at 6 weeks to 18% at 12 weeks cutting intervals (Abqoriyah et al 2015) and from 23.2 to 15.6% from six to 16 weeks cutting intervals (Kabi & Bareeba 2008).…”

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10. 14334/jitv.v21i3.1574 Terbatasnya ketersediaan hijauan pakan sepanjang tahun dapat diatasi melalui penggunaan hasil samping pertanian. Tongkol jagung, hasil samping produksi jagung potensial untuk digunakan sebagai sumber serat pengganti rumput. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk membandingkan pengaruh dua jenis pakan dasar (rumput dan silase tongkol jagung) dengan dan tanpa suplementasi tepung daun kaliandra terhadap konsumsi, kecernaan pakan, penggunaan nitrogen, fermentasi rumen dan pertumbuhan domba. Penelitian menggunakan 20 ekor anak domba St Croix jantan lepas sapih. Domba dikelompok menjadi 5 kelompok berdasarkan bobot badan. Tiap ekor domba dalam tiap kelompok diberikan salah satu dari 4 pakan perlakuan selama 13 minggu. Pakan perlakuan yang diberikan adalah: pakan dasar rumput + konsentrat, pakan dasar silase tongkol jagung (CCS) + konsentrat, pakan dasar rumput + konsentrat+5% tepung daun kaliandra, CCS + konsentrat+5% tepung daun kaliandra. Imbangan pakan dasar (rumput atau silase tongkol jagung) dengan konsentrat adalah 40 : 60% dan diformulasikan secara iso-protein (kandungan protein kasar 14%) pakan diberikan secara total mixed ration. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok pola faktorial 2x2 (2 tipe pakan dasar dan 2 level suplementasi kaliandra) dengan 5 ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada interaksi antara pakan dasar dan suplementasi kaliandara terhadap konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, kecernaan pakan dan fermentasi rumen, kecuali pada konsumsi protein kasar. Konsumsi pakan tidak dipengaruhi oleh pakan dasar dan suplementasi kaliandra. Ratio konversi pakan dan ratio konversi protein lebih baik pada pakan dasar rumput dibanding silase tongkol jagung. Kecernaan protein kasar di pakan dasar silase tongkol jagung lebih tinggi dibanding pakan dasar rumput yang tanpa diberi suplementasi tepung daun kaliandra. Retensi nitrogen lebih tinggi di pakan dasar CCS dibanding pakan dasar rumput. Fermentasi rumen dipengaruhi oleh jenis pakan dasar dimana konsentrasi rumen ammonia, total VFA dan proporsi propionat lebih tinggi pada pakan dasar rumput. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pada pakan iso protein pakan dasar rumput sebanding dengan pakan dasar silase tongkol jagung seperti yang ditunjukkan dengan pertambahan bobot badan harian yang sama (107,5 g/ekor/hari) pada kedua jenis pakan tersebut. Suplementasi tepung dau kaliandra pada level 5% tidak meningkatkan tampilan domba. Limited availability of forage diet throughout the year could be overcome by utilization of crop by-products. Corn cob, a byproduct from maize production is potential to be used as a fiber source for grass replacement. The objective of the study was to compare the effect of two different basal diets (basal grass diet and corn cob silage) with or without Calliandra supplementation on feed intake, ...
