“…They are also advantageous for the health of the digestive system. Grapevine leaves increase the activity of digestive enzymes, which enhances digestive system activities and supports intestinal health (Peiretti & Tassone, 2019;Kazemi & Bezdi, 2022). However, they might prevent ruminants from digesting protein and might lead to digestive issues in animals because they contain tannins.…”

“…To ascertain the steps to be taken to reduce bovine greenhouse gas emissions, it is crucial to ascertain the methane generation capacity of feeds used in feeding ruminants. The ability of feeds to produce methane is correlated with the digestibility, metabolic energy content, and protein value of feeds (Kazemi & Bezdi, 2021;Liu et al, 2022). Therefore, the methane production potential of feeds is important for optimising the nutrition and performance of ruminants…”

The purpose of this study was to use the in vitro gas production (IVGP) method to assess the relative feeding value, feed quality, and anti- methanogenic capabilities of tree leaves added to Italian ryegrass forage at various proportions. With the addition of 2% and 4% willow leaf (Salix alba), 2% and 4% vine leaf (Vitis vinifera), 2% and 4% plane leaf (Platanus orientalis), and a control group devoid of these supplements, a total of 21 forage samples were created. The data were subjected to analysis of variance after nutritional composition, energy content, feeding value, and feed quality were determined using the in vitro gas generation method. The effect of the addition of tree leaves to forage on crude ash, IVGP, methane, metabolizable energy, net energy lactation, organic matter digestion, true digestible dry matter, partitioning factor, microbial protein, microbial protein synthesising efficiency, degree of true digestion, NDF digestion, total digestible nutrients, and relative feed quality was substantial. With the addition of 2% willow leaves, the digestibility, metabolic energy, net energy lactation value, organic matter digestion, microbial protein value, and relative feed quality all improved. The findings showed that tree leaves can be utilized as an alternate feed source for ruminants. Tannin content should be taken into account when preparing rations utilizing tannin-containing tree leaves.

This study determined production performance, nutrient intake, digestibility, and carcass traits from ostrich chicks fed with barberry ( Berberis Vulgaris ) leaves (BVL) as a replacement for alfalfa hay (AH). For 150 days, 30 male ostrich ( Struthio camelus ) (9.10 ± 0.89 kg live weight, mean ± SD) were randomly grouped into five dietary BVL inclusion levels to replace AH: a control diet based on 100% AH (CTRL), and four groups with BVL as a substitute for AH at varying levels including 25% (BVL25), 50% (BVL50), 75% (BVL75), and 100% (BVL100). The average daily feed intakes (ADFI) were recorded and birds were weighed monthly. The nutrient intake and digestibility were measured for the following final 5 days of the trial. The ADFI was higher ( p = 0.025) for BVL100 and BVL75 than for CTRL. Ostriches fed on BVL50 had the highest average daily gain (ADG, p = 0.025) and the lowest feed conversation ratio (FCR, p = 0.0001). Return per kg BW gain was also enhanced ( p = 0.018) with BVL50 feeding. Dietary BVL levels did not affect the digestibility of OM ( p = 0.257), CP ( p = 0.260), EE ( p = 0.610), CF ( p = 0.427), and Ash ( p = 0.461). Also, there were no changes in AME ( p = 0.180) or AMEn ( p = 0.670). The hot carcass weight (HCW, p = 0.331) and dressing BW ( p = 0.237) were not affected. Overall, the results suggest that BVL can replace AH in ostrich diets without deleterious impact on performance, however, its partial substitution (for 50% AH of diet) has been associated with improved ADG, FCR, and reduced feeding costs.

The need for roughage in the animal nutrition industry has led to the search for various alternative roughage. In this context, as a result of the research, tree leaves have the potential to be considered as a nutritious and balanced forage source for animals. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the usability of apple (Malus domestica), apricot (Prunus armeniaca), cherry (Prunus avium), grape (Vitis vinifera), and umber mulberry (Morus rubra) leaves in ruminant nutrition. As a result of the research, nutritional contents of tree leaves (dry matter, crude protein, crude ash, crude oil, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, tannin), in vitro gas, carbon dioxide and methane gas production, in vitro gas post-production rumen fluid volatile fatty acid contents were found to be different from each other (P
