Investigations into chemical composition and in-sacco degradability of sea-buckthorn leaves for ruminant livestock in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Comparative quality assessment of Sea-buckthorn and Lucerne against nutrient composition, neutral detergent fiber, in-sacco dry matter degradability and in-sacco nitrogen degradability revealed higher efficiency of Seabuckthorn leaves as forage for ruminant livestock. Besides, other parameters, nutrient composition valuation was made against ash, organic matter, crude protein and acid detergent fiber (ADF). Low N degradability and ADF contents in sea-buckthorn leaves enable ruminants efficient nutrient utility. However, there was no significant variation across all the parameters except ash content and in-sacco nitrogen degradability. Study results suggest that feeding of sea-buckthorn leaves as a supplement is highly valued that would increase productive performance of the animals.
