    EFFECT OF FEEDING DRIED GLIRICIDIA (Gliricidia maculata) LEAVES ON NUTRIENT UTILIZATION IN GOATS
    (Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli , Dist : Ratnagiri, 2017-06) Chore, Vrushali Hiraman; Desai, B.G.
    The low productivity of Indian livestock, especially goats is mainly due to scarcity of quality feeds and fodder. Fodder tree leaves are an alternative source of livestock feeding. Tree leaves have the potential for alleviating some of the feed shortages and nutritional deficiencies for small ruminant and important component of goats diet. Improvements in the digestibility of roughages are due to the provision of necessary nutrients especially degradable protein to promote rumen fermentation, resulting in the increased fibre digestion, intake of roughages, reduced wastes from undigested feed and increased animal productivity and efficiency. The experiment was conducted at the Dairy unit, College of Agriculture, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli-415712, District Ratnagiri (M.S.) Sixteen Konkan Kanyal kids were selected for the experiment. The experimental animals were randomly divided into four treatment group. One group (T0) was served with Gliricidia green leaves + hybrid napier + paddy straw in 40:30:30 ratio and then onwards fresh hybrid napier grass and paddy straw with dried Gliricidia leaves was offered to the bucks. The level of inclusion of dried Gliricidia leaves were 10%, 20% and 30% on dry matter basis in treatment T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Groundnut cake and maize crumble were offered 100 g of each commonly to all groups of treatments. Before the starting of experiment initial body weight of bucks were recorded. From the results of present investigation, it was observed that feeding of 20 per cent dried Gliricidia leaves had significant (P<0.05) incremental effect on the dry matter intake (466.15 g), digestibility coefficient (75.91 DM, 89.12 CP, 54.48 EE, 74.79 CF, 71.53 NFE, 78.81 NDF and 75.45 ADF per cent, respectively), daily higher body weight gain (72.14 g) than the rest of treatments. It was concluded that feed containing 20% dried Gliricidia leaves was found superior than other treatments in respect of the digestibility of nutrients, body weight gain, acceptability and palatability to the bucks. As Gliricidia leaves are available throughout the year, the dried leaves can be stored throughout the dry season without deteriorating nutritive value and thus can serve as a feed reserve.
