| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: The nutritive value of hydroponic fodder produced from six varieties of fodder seeds i.e. SSG, cowpea, horse gram, maize, jowar and barley was evaluated in adult sheep fed on the fodder varieties as sole feed. Four Nellore Jodipi rams were used to study nutrient digestibility, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus balance, nutritive value and plane of nutrition in 14 day preliminary and 7 day collection period metabolism trials. The average hydroponic fodder yield (kg) after 7 days of sprouting from SSG, cowpea, horse gram, maize, jowar and barley was 7.17±0.11, 8.07±0.10, 7.10±0.09, 9.13±0.06, 5.38±0.10 and 8.22±0.09, respectively from 1 kg grain. The yield was significantly higher (P<0.01) from maize and barley seeds while it was lower from jowar seeds. The chemical composition (%DM) except for DM of the fodder varieties was 12.34, 11.67, 10.64, 12.53, 10.53 and 10.21 % (DM), 95.29, 94.22, 95.08, 95.28, 96.35, 95.99 % (OM), 20.87, 41.09, 33.40, 13.68, 25.77, 17.46 % (CP), 2.57, 1.70,2.29, 3.58, 8.31, 3.02 % (EE) 18.58, 24.08, 20.16, 16.08, 18.25, 23.26 % (CF), 4.71,5.78, 4.92, 4.72, 3.65, 4.01% (TA), 0.36 , 0.04, , 0.17, 0.13, 0.13, 1.05 (AIA) and 53.27, 27.35, 39.23, 61.94, 44.02 and 52.25 % (NFE), for Sorghum Sudan Grass, Cowpea, Horse gram, Maize, Jowar and Barley, respectively. Nutrient digestibility (%) of the hydroponic fodder varieties were 35.29, 79.90, 40.26, 76.08, 54.17 and 75.07 (DM), 43.64, 81.81, 46.79, 78.26, 58.98 and78.61 (OM), 47.85, 83.94, 71.57, 68.33, 69.50 and 72.95 (CP), 50.82, 68.59, 51.20, 66.96, 75.53 and 75.96 (EE), 34.49, 60.15, 53.43, 72.16, 21.27 and 65.20 (CF), 49.75, 88.46, 78.35, 82.70, 63.96 and 85.28 (NFE), 57.34, 79.59, 57.04, 76, 55.82 and 73.88 (NDF), 41.47, 71.15, 35, 71.61, 46.58 and 69.81(ADF), 49.82, 80.94, 68, 79.32, 65.16 and 78.91(Hemicellulose), 34.24, 76.57, 41.52, 76.44, 44.55 and 76.14 (Cellulose) , respectively and were significantly different among the varieties. The nitrogen retention (g/d) of sheep was negative (P<0.01) in all varieties except cowpea and the values were (-) 2.72, 7.60, (-) 7.77, (-) 2.11, (-) 1.43 and (-) 5.82 for SSG, Cowpea, Horse gram, Maize, Jowar and Barley, respectively. The calcium retained (g/d) was negative in all varieties and the values were (-) 0.85, (-) 0.55, (-) 1.90, (-) 0.66, (-) 0.51 and (-) 1.15 for SSG, Cowpea, Horse gram, Maize, Jowar and Barley, respectively The phosphorus retained (g/d) in sheep fed on SSG, Cowpea, Horse gram, Maize, Jowar and Barley was (-) 0.31, (-) 0.34, (-) 0.61, (-) 0.53, (-) 0.26 and (-) 0.79, respectively. The DCP (%), TDN (%) and DE (kcal/kg DM) were 9.98, 45.83 and 2016.91 (SSG), 34.49, 75.79 and 3334.97 (cowpea), 23.90, 68.08 and 2995.81 (horse gram), 9.34, 77.57 and 3413.13 (maize), 17.91, 64.07, 2819.37 (jowar) and 12.73, 77.63 and 3415.72 (barley). The DMI g/d was in the order of barley (391.03), maize (371.14), cowpea (314.26), horse gram (205.18), jowar (122.77) and SSG (87.30) and was significantly different. The DMI (g/ W 0.75) was significantly higher (P<0.01) in maize (30.23), barley (26.11), cowpea (25.58), horse gram (16.34), jowar (9.68) and SSG (7.76). The nutrient requirement of sheep and goat (ICAR, 2013) suggested that sheep weighing 25-35 kg require for maintenance 390-500g TDN, 75-96g CP and a dry matter intake 2.6 to 2.8 % of body weight. In the present study, sheep fed on different hydroponic fodder varieties failed to consume the required quantity of dry matter leading to low plane of nutrition and loss of body weight. The cost of production of production of hydroponic fodder from SSG, cowpea, horse gram, maize, jowar and barley was `. 1.26, 7.18, 5.20, 1.86, 5.20 and 4.86, respectively taking into account the seed cost only. It was concluded for hydroponic fodder production Maize followed by Barely were economical based on cost of seed and yield of fodder. Further, hydroponic fodders as a sole feed were not relished by sheep leading to low voluntary intake and loss of body weight. | en_US |
