“…In this study, there was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in proximate compositions comparing the controls with the treatments of maize and sorghum fodders. This result is in conformity with the work of [17]. NPK and SN gave a better increase compared with SMC.…”

“…[15,16] reported that the SMC was entangled with innumerable mushroom threads collectively referred to as mycelia which could have modified the substrate biochemically by production of enzymes. Sprouting grains for human consumption has been used for centuries in Asian countries to improve food value [17]. Germination and sprouting activate enzymes that change the starch, protein, and lipids of the grain into simpler forms, for example, starch changes to sugars.…”

The grains of maize and sorghum were converted to grass in the screenhouse for eight days. The treatments evaluated were control (water), spent mushroom compost (SMC), NPK fertilizer, and SN (combination of SMC and NPK). Each treatment was replicated thrice in a complete randomized block design. Growth parameters and nutrient analysis were determined. The effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer was tested on proximate, minerals and digestibility of hydroponics maize fodder (HMF) and hydroponics sorghum fodder (HSF). The study showed significant difference (P < 0.05) in all the compositions and parameters except pH values. SN application gave the highest proximate compositions (%) of maize-crude-protein (23.66±0.05), maize-moisture (14.62±0.01), maize-CHO (57.86±0.03), maize-NFE (43.96±0.02), maize-fibre (2.44±0.03), sorghum-ash (1.28±0.02), and sorghum moisture (12.56±0.01). NPK gave the highest result of sorghum-crude-protein (18.51±0.04); while SMC gave the highest results of maize maize-crude-fibre (27.71±0.02), maize-fibre (2.22±0.01), maize-ash (3.21±0.01), sorghum-CHO (61.00±0.03) and sorghum-NFE (54.87±0.02). SN gave the highest mineral compositions (mg/100g) of maize-P (155.20±0.02), maize-Ca (34.95±0.08); sorghum-Fe (11.35±0.13), sorghum-P (153.20±0.87), sorghum-Ca (30.00±0.30). NPK gave the best results of maize-Fe (8.00±0.26), maize-Mn (1.55±0.08), and sorghum-Mn (3.40±0.15). There was significant difference in plant heights, fresh weight, dry weight, digestibility, dry matter. The comparative effects of SMC and NPK showed that utilization of SMC, NPK and SN could serves as nutrient supplements for fodder hydroponics used as feed supplements for dairy animals.

“…HMF was preferred as a source of quality forage for livestock because it has a high protein (Ndaru et al, 2020). It is encouraging to compare the findings of this study with the results by Jemimah et al (2018), who recorded 10.55% CP content of HMF with an 8-days growth period but lower than the CP content reported by several studies as ranged from 13.30% to 16.54% (Adebiyi et al, 2018;Kide et al, 2015;Naik et al, 2012Naik et al, , 2013Naik et al, , 2014Thadchanamoorthy & Pramalal, 2012). The minor differences in minor results are probably due to the variety and quality of seed used, light intensity, quality of the irrigation water, and germination time (Kaouche-Adjlanea et al, 2016).…”

This study aimed to identify the chemical composition of hydroponic maize fodder (HMF) from two varieties of maize grains (popcorn and feed corn). A completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications was used in which popcorn was irrigated with clean tap water (T1) and nutrient solution (T2); feed corn irrigated with clean tap water (T3) and nutrient solution (T4). Seven-days green fodders were sampled for chemical analysis. The crude protein (CP) content was the highest at 7.48% in T4 compared to popcorn (P<0.05) and T3 (P>0.05). Treatment 3 showed the highest dry matter content as 94.42% (P>0.05) and organic matter content observed as 98.29% especially compared with T1 (P<0.05). The neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents of feed corn were insignificantly different, but T3 was observed as 67.66% and 41.55%, respectively, which were higher than T1 (P<0.05). Although feed corn had better nutritional value than popcorn, popcorn showed a 7% higher germination rate than feed corn (P<0.05). As a result, the total yield of 1.5 kg hydroponic maize fodder per kg feed corn was lower than popcorn (2.5 kg per kg grains). Hence, popcorn was used to grow HMF with the open-air hydroponic system. HMF showed better feed nutritive composition than conventionally planted Napier grass. A lower concentration of indigestible fiber (P<0.05) and a higher concentration of crude protein (12.28%) was observed in HMF compared to CP in Napier grass (7.22%) (P<0.05). In conclusion, the open-air hydroponics system can be an alternative method among smallholders by replacing conventionally planted fodder.

“…Dengan teknik ini, hijauan jagung dapat dihasilkan sepanjang tahun dan dari lahan yang sempit dengan sistem greenhouse dengan kebutuhan air yang sangat rendah. Di samping itu, hijauan yang dihasilkan memiliki beberapa keunggulan seperti palatabiltas yang tinggi (Bogdonoff, 1990), produksi biomasa yang tinggi (Jemimah et al, 2018), seluruh komponen tanaman (akar, batang dan daun) dapat dikonsumsi ternak tanpa sisa (Pandey dan Pathak, 1991), dan memiliki kandungan protein kasar mencapai 13,57% dibanding jagung pipil yang hanya 8,7% dan serat kasar yang rendah (Naik et al, 2015).…”

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of corn fodder on intake and fiber digestibility, volatile fatty acid and blood glucose concentration of weaned Ongole x Brahman calves. This experiment followed a 4x4 latin square design with four treatments, i.e. G : 100% nature grass silage, GCF1 : 35% nature grass silage, 35% corn fodder silage and 30% concentrate, GCF2 : 17,5% nature grass silage, 52,5% corn fodder and 30% concentrate, GCF3 : 70% corn fodder and 30% concentrate. The measured variables included fiber intake and digestibility, volatile fatty acid and blood glucose concentration. Data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (Anova) followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test to separate between means with SPSS 21. Result showed that fiber intake was significantly (P<0,05) lower in GCF3 (299,88 g.d-1) compared to the other treatments which varied between 661,55 to 1293,95 g.d-1. Fiber digestibility, however, did not differ (P>0,05) between treatments, i.e. varied between 55,95 to 72,65%. Volatile Fatty Acid concentration increased (P<0,05) with the increasing levels substitutions of corn fodder in feed. The treatments did not affect (P>0,05) blood glucose concentration of Ongole calves. It can be concluded that substitution of corn fodder for native grass silage has significant effect on fiber intake and Volatile Fatty Acid concentration but not on fiber digestibility and blood glucose concentration of weaned cross Ongole calves.
