“…Additionally, some studies have shown that the nutritive value of T . diversifolia is kept relatively constant throughout the dry season [4,5], while the nutritional quality of most tropical grasses markedly decreases under water limited conditions [2]. Additionally, T .…”

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of Tithonia diversifolia as a supplementary forage on dairy cow performance and methane production. Nine lactating Holstein × Zebu dairy cows (519 ± 53.3 kg of body weight and 66 ± 13.3 d in milk) were paired by milk yield (21.3 ± 2.34 kg/d) and body weight and randomly assigned to three dietary treatments in a Latin square design with 21-d experimental periods (14 d for diet adaptation and 7 d for measurements and sample collection). The dietary treatments included the control diet consisting of fresh sugar cane plus concentrate (44:56, % of diet DM), and two treatment diets containing different levels of fresh T. diversifolia (6.5 and 15.4%, DM basis) which partially replaced both sugarcane and concentrates. Methane production was measured using the sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) technique from d 16 to d 21 of each experimental period. Analysis of the gas samples was performed by gas chromatography. The inclusion of T. diversifolia at 15.4% DM had no effects on DM intake, milk production, nitrogen balance or methane production. There was no effect on the concentrations of total saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in milk fat (P ≥ 0.28), though individual milk fatty acids were affected. Serum concentrations of glucose, urea nitrogen (BUN), triglycerides, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), and cholesterol were unaffected by the dietary treatments (P ≥ 0.13). There was a time (2 and 6 h post-feeding) and dietary treatment effect (P < 0.01) on the acetate to propionate ratio in the rumen. A denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of the archaeal community showed distinct clustering of the archaea populations for control and treatment diets. Taken together, our results indicate the potential of T. diversifolia as a supplementary forage for dairy cattle in the tropics.

“…The ADF content of T. diversifolia in this study is greater than the values reported by different authors (10) , who utilized T. diversifolia leaves only, while the CP content concurred with others (10,28) . The nutrient content of T. diversifolia depends on age and plant part (29) while the higher ash content of T. diversifolia compared to alfalfa may be explained by its elevated concentration of minerals (30) such as Ca, P, and Mg (31) . Higher NDF and ADF content in the non-RP diets reflect the higher fiber fraction concentration in T. diversifolia and alfalfa compared to RP, while EE content increased with the addition of RP.…”

El objetivo fue evaluar el efecto de reemplazo de la alfalfa (AA) con Tithonia diversifolia (TD) en dietas de corderos a base de ensilado de caña de azúcar (SCS), con o sin suplementación con pulidura de arroz (RP), sobre la digestibilidad in vitro, la retención de nitrógeno y el comportamiento productivo. Las dietas experimentales contenían lo siguiente: D1) 68.6 % de SCS y 29.4 % de TD; D2) 63.7 % de SCS y 34.3 % de AA; D3) 46 % de SCS, 22.6 % de TD y 29.4 % de RP; y, D4) 44.1 % de SCS, 24.5 % de AA y 29.4 % de RP. Las dietas fueron isoproteínicas e isocalóricas. La digestibilidad in vitro de la materia seca y materia orgánica fue mayor (P<0.05) con D2 en comparación con D1 y aumentaron (P<0.05) con la suplementación con RP, sin diferencias entre D3 y D4. De manera similar, el comportamiento productivo no fue diferente (P>0.05) entre las dietas que contenían TD o AA. Sin embargo, RP mejoró (P<0.01) el consumo de la materia seca, la ganancia diaria y la ganancia total de peso con ambos forrajes. En conclusión, en dietas a base de ensilado de caña de azúcar, el reemplazo de alfalfa con Tithonia diversifolia no tiene efecto sobre la digestibilidad de la materia seca, la retención de N o el comportamiento productivo. La complementación con la pulidura de arroz mejora la digestibilidad de la materia seca, la retención de N y el comportamiento productivo de animales alimentados con dietas ricas en forraje, como las que se utilizaron en este estudio.

“…Informações sobre o valor nutritivo e alimentício da Tithonia diversifolia, ainda são escassas para as condições brasileiras, apesar de extremamente adaptada às condições edafoclimáticas tropicais. Porém, estudos realizados em outros países de clima tropical, ressaltam o potencial de utilização dessa espécie sob pastejo (LAZO et al, 2015), sob corte na inclusão em dietas de caprinos (TENDONKENG et al, 2014), ovinos (RAMÍREZ-RIVERA et al, 2010), aves (TOGUN et al, 2006 e vacas leiteiras (MAHECHA et al, 2007).…”
