Determination of Nutritive Value of Some Legume Tree Fruits
Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Agriculture - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of the current experiment was to determine nutritive value of pods five different legumes tree fruits; Acacia karroo, Albiza julibrissin, Cerotonia siliqua, Leucaena leucocephala, Gleditsia triacanthos, widely used in Turkey. The collected pod samples from Kahramanmaras were dried under shadow and grounded to pass through 1 mm sieve for chemical analysis and in vitro gas production (IVGP). The species had significant effects on the chemical composition, IVGP, metabolisable energy (ME) and organic matter digestibility (OMD) (p < 0.001). Crude ash (CA), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and condensed tannin (CT) contents ranged from 2.98-6.67%, 8.52-22.17%, 37.62-54.44%, 27.53-40.71% and 0.72-2.69%, respectively. Although pods from Acacia julibrissin had highest CP content, pods from Acacia karroo had highest CA content. On the other hand, pods from Leucaena leucocephala had highest NDF content whereas pods from Acacia karroo had highest ADF content. Pods from Cerotonia siliqua had highest IVGP, ME and OMD. As a conclusion; it can be said that pods from legume trees investigated in the current study had important potential for ruminant animals to meet protein and energy requirements.
