“…On the other hand, the longer lag phase for Napier and Para grasses may indicate that undegradable components in the plant cell wall prevents the microbes to colonize the samples immediately (Corrêa et al, 2014). As with the other legumes in the study, Leucaena leaves also exhibited a reduction in CP degradability due to its tannin content (Paengkoum et al, 2013;Foroughbakhch et al, 2012). The tannins may have formed complexes with proteins (Ozkan & Sahin, 2006) leading to a low CP degradability in the bags.…”

Two experiments, namely the situ nylon bag technique and the in vitro gas production technique, were carried out to determine the correlations between the in situ ruminal degradability and the in vitro gas production of different forages, and to predict the ruminal degradability of the forages using the gas production parameters. Forage samples from Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), Guinea grass (Panicum maximum), Para grass (Brachiaria mutica), Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala), Rain tree (Samanea saman), and Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium) were incubated in the rumen of three rumen-cannulated buffaloes using the in situ nylon bag technique for 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. The six forage samples were also subjected to the in vitro gas production analysis following the modified methods developed by Menke & Steingass (1988), along with 30 other commonly used forages in the Philippines. Both experiments followed a randomized complete block design. Their dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and crude protein (CP) degradation kinetics and effective degradability (ED) as well as the gas production parameters were then estimated. Results revealed that the ED of each nutrient was found to be moderately to strongly correlated with some of the gas production times and estimated gas parameters. The predictor models generated using the gas production parameters for the ED of DM, OM, and NDF were sufficiently strong (R 2 = 0.740, p value= 0.0002; R 2 = 0.659, p value= 0.0009; and R 2 = 0.813, p value < 0.0001, respectively) while that of CP was only moderate (R 2 = 0.500, p value= 0.0055). It was concluded that the relationship between the two techniques is sufficiently strong and therefore the gas production parameters can be used to predict the in situ ruminal nutrient degradability of forages.

“…Esta situación es reflejo de la disponibilidad regional de los subproductos y del procesamiento al que deben ser sometidos para facilitar el transporte y preservar su calidad nutricional durante el almacenamiento. Materias primas como el matarratón, pulpa de café y orujo de uva tienen altos contenidos de humedad 2,12,18 , lo que demanda infraestructura y recursos para su secado, impactando fuertemente los costos de producción. En el caso del matarratón debe sumarse la cosecha del material, lo que hace necesario la contratación de personal.…”

This work aims to assess the economic impact of supplementation with arborea and agro-industrial by-products in zebu cattle. Productive performance test was conducted for 60 days in the municipality of Gómez Plata (Antioquia-Colombia). Twenty castrated males commercial zebu received five diets consisting for Pangola (Digitaria decumbens) (60%) and supplement (40%) containing matarratón (Gliricidia sepium) (MAT), coffee pulp (Coffea arabica) (CP), grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) (GP) or cottonseed (Gossypium sp.) (CS); the control diet (CON) was not formulated with these materials. The economic analysis included the cost-structure of diet, calculation of total and unit production cost, sensitivity analysis and cost-benefit ratio (B/C). In relation to CON diet, the cost per kilogram of diet was superior to CP and GP, 2.39 and 1.87 times, respectively. The value of a kilogram of meat for CP, GP and MAT diets was 3.47, 2.04 and 1.40 times higher compared with CON diet. The B/C ratio was negative for CP and GP diets, however, the sensitivity analysis showed that the introduction of GP is economically viable if its acquisition cost is lower. The costs associated with diet CS were slightly lower than the CON diet (93%), so the B/C ratio was slightly higher. It concludes that the introduction of arborea and by-products is not economically feasible in all cases because factors such as regional availability and dehydration increase production costs.

“…Leucaena has a suitable potential as supplements for sustainable ruminant nutrition strategies during rainy and dry seasons (Gonzalez-Garcia et al, 2009). The dry matter (DM) yield of Leucaena was 7.75 ton/ha for 14 month after planting (Odedire and Babayemi, 2007) and contained 24.6% CP, 45.8% NDF and 24.5% ADF (Foroughbakhch et al, 2012).…”

Abstract. This study was aimed to determine and compare the dry matter yield and nutrient content of Indigofera and Leucaena grown in peatland. This experiment was conducted in peatland type soil (type sapric) in Pekanbaru city, DM yield and nutrient contents data were analyzed by 2x3 factorial design with 3 replication. Two treatments compared were Indigofera zollingeriana (Indigofera) and Leucaena leucocephala (Leucaena). Indigofera was proven significantly higher than Leucaena in all harvest regarding dry matter (DM) of leaf and stem of 29.9% and 25%, respectively, crude protein (CP) of 23.1% and 17.6%, respectively. While neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF) content of Indigofera leaf (35.9% and 25.1%, respectively) was significantly lower than those of Leucaena leaf (40.9% and 29.3%, respectively). It was concluded that the production and nutritive value of Indigofera zollingeriana was superior to Leucaena leucocephala in peatland (type sapric). Key words: Legume tree, Sapric, nutrient content, In vitro digestibiliy Abstrak.
