EFFECT OF SOLID STATE FERMENTATION (SSF) BIOMASS SUPPLEMENTATION ON DIGESTIBILITY, NUTRIENT UTILIZATION AND RUMEN FERMENTATION PATTERN IN SHEEP
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Effect of solid state fermentation (SSF) biomass on digestibility, nutrient utilization and rumen fermentation pattern in sheep were studied. Fourteen male adult sheep (15-18 month) were randomly divided in two groups T1 (control) and T2 (treatment). Sheep were fed ration containing 50 % jowar straw and 50% compound concentrate mixture. In vitro Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD) and Organic Matter Digestibility (OMD) of TMR were studied with different levels of SSF bio mass. A solid state fermentation (SSF) biomass @ 4% was added to the ration of treatment group. The nutrient requirements of sheep in term of digestible crude protein (DCP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) were met as per ICAR (1998) feeding standards. At the end of 90 days experimental period, animals were under digestibility trial and animals of each group were used for rumen fermentation. The daily DM, CP, DCP and TDN intakes were also more or less similar in both the groups. The digestibility of DM, OM, CP, CF, EE and NFE were not affected by treatment. The rumen pH, TVFA, Total-N, ammonia-N and NPN concentrations were significantly (P<0.05) higher in treatment group as compared to control group. The protein-N concentration was higher in treatment group as compared to control group but statistically non-significant difference. The daily feed cost was Rs 5.92 and 5.87 under T1 and T2, respectively with non-significant difference (P>0.05).
