Email this article Determination of Rumen Characteristics of Dry Matter, Crude Protein and Neutral Detergent Fiber in the Different Fractions of Leucaena Leucocephala
Abstract
an experiment was conducted to determine the degradation characteristics of dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber in Leucaena edible parts. The rate of degradation (fraction c) of DM and NDF was not significantly different (P > 0.05) among the edible parts and the extent of degradation (fraction a + b) and ED of DM and NDF was significantly (P < 0.01) higher in leaves than in pods and twigs. Fraction (c) of CP was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the air dried leaves and twigs. The extent of degradation (fraction a + b) of CP it was significantly (P < 0.01) higher in the mature pods.
