“…is a natural hybrid between cassava and wild cassava used as forage in the Brazilian semi-arid region (Silva et al, 2017), with potential for use in other drylands worldwide. Pornunça shows satisfactory forage yield, considering the Brazilian semi-arid environment (Alencar et al, 2019), and suitable quality of fresh forage or silage .…”

Pornunça (Manihot sp.) is a potential forage to feed ruminants in drylands worldwide; however, evaluations of animal diets are necessary. This study assessed intake and digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, physiological responses, ingestive behavior, water intake, as well as hematological and biochemical responses of lambs fed diets containing increasing levels of Pornunça silage (PS) replacing Tifton-85 bermudagrass hay (Cynodon spp.). Treatments consisted of 0, 33, 66, and 100 % PS considering the roughage portion of the diet (% dry matter -DM). The experimental design was completely randomized with six replicates. Cyanide acid (HCN) levels in fresh Pornunça leaves were 207.7 mg kg −1 DM and 76.78 mg kg −1 DM in PS. Intake of DM and crude protein (CP), and neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and protein (NDFap) increased linearly with increasing levels of PS in the diet. Digestibility of DM, NDF, and CP were higher with increasing levels of PS. Idle time decreased linearly, while water balance, water intake via food, and total water in feces increased with PS. Nitrogen balance, physiological, and hematological responses were not influenced by treatments, while the final alanine aminotransferase increased for lambs fed all diets evaluated. The PS up to 100 % of the roughage portion increased DM and nutrient intake and digestibility without altering physiological responses and the hematological and biochemical parameters, resulting in greater water intake via food.

“…However, these plants contain cyanogenic glycosides that can be harmful to animals. Despite this, they have a high crude protein content of 15.28%, as reported by Alencar et al (2019) and Amorim et al (2022). Haying is a technique used to conserve forage and can be a viable alternative in arid and semi-arid regions.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of diets containing pornunça hay (Manihot sp) and levels of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L. Mill) in their natural state on the intake, digestibility, ingestive behavior, milk production, and quality, as well as the economic feasibility for lactating goats. Eight multiparous goats with 30 days of lactation and an average weight of 40 ± 2.5 kg and an average production of 2 ± 1.8 kg/day were used, distributed in a double Latin square design (4x4). The treatments consisted of isoproteic diets which are composed of increasing levels of cactus pear (0, 10, 20, and 30% dry matter). Incorporating cactus pear into the diet of lactating goats resulted in a significant decrease (P<0.05) in water intake and the intake of most evaluated nutrients, which directly reflected in the diet effectively consumed by the animals. However, it did not affect (P>0.05) milk production or fat-corrected milk production. Incorporating cactus pear into the diet of lactating goats resulted in a significant decrease (P<0.05) in production costs, water intake, and the intake of most evaluated nutrients, which were directly reflected in the diet effectively consumed by the animals. However, it did not affect (P>0.05) milk production or fat-corrected milk production. The level of 30% cactus pear inclusion in the diet of lactating goats increased the economic efficiency of production without affecting milk production and maintaining a good composition of solids.
