| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT : An attempt has been made in the present study to investigate the effect of inclusion of palm kernel meal (PKM) and sheanut meal (SNM) by replacing the DORB in complete rations of sheep and goats. The nutritive value, plane of nutrition, nutrient digestibility and urinary purine derivatives excretion and efficiency of microbial protein synthesis were studied. The PKM contained 93.0, 95.0, 14.2, 34.6, 1.1, 45.1, 5.0 and 1.6% of DM, OM, CP, CF, EE, NFE, TA and AIA, respectively and the cell wall constituents (%) were 73.6, 55.9, 17.6, 25.4 and 29.0 for NDF, ADF, HC, cellulose and lignin, respectively. The GE value of PKM was 4.46 K.cal/g DM. The IVDMD and IVOMD values of PKM were 54.33% and 55.39, respectively. The SNM contained 90.0, 90.0, 15.5, 5.6, 1.4, 67.5, 10.0 and 3.6% of DM, OM, CP, EE, NFE, TA and AIA, respectively and cell wall constituents (%) were 60.6, 49.9, 10.6, 9.0 and 37.3 for NDF, ADF, HC, cellulose and lignin respectively. The GE value of the SNM was 4.44 K.cal/g DM. The IVDMD and IVOMD (%) values were 18.81 and 25.99, respectively. Four isonitrogenous complete rations (CR) were prepared with chaffed red gram bhoosa as the roughage component. The rations were made isonitrogenous by adjusting the level of concentrate ingredient levels in the complete rations, while keeping roughage constant. The CR-1 contained DORB at 20% level. It was replaced by PKM and SNM at in CR-2 and CR-3, respectively. Whereas in CR-4, DORB was replaced with PKM and SNM. All rations contained 5% molasses and 1% mineral mixture. The CP content of the complete rations ranged from 13.2 to 13.7%. The CF content of the complete rations was 33.7 (CR-1), 37.2 (CR-2), 30.6 (CR-3) and 33.0% (CR-4). The highest NDF content was observed in CR-2 (65.9), whereas the lowest was observed in CR-3 (57.4). The ADF content (%) of the complete rations ranged from 42.2 - 49.4%. The GE value of the complete rations were found to be isocaloric (4.33 - 4.34 K.cal/g DM). The IVDMD (%) values of complete rations as observed were highest (63.09) in CR-2, whereas the lowest was observed in CR-3 (56.35) as compared to other rations. The IVOMD (%) value of the complete rations was 61.62 (CR-1), followed by 63.14 (CR-2), 56.40 (CR-3) and 59.48 (CR-4). In sheep the CP digestibility was higher (P<0.001) in CR-2 and CR-1 as compared to CR-4 and CR-3. Whereas CF and cellulose digestibilities were highest (P<0.05) in CR-3 as compared to other three rations. The EE digestibility was significantly (P<0.05) higher in CR-3 and CR-4 as compared to other rations. The NDF and ADF digestibilities showed no significant but higher value in CR-4, as compared to other rations. In goats the CP digestibility was higher (P>0.05) in CR-2 and CR-1, followed by CR-4 and CR-3. The CF digestibility was highest (P<0.001) in CR-3 and lowest was observed in goats, which received CR-2 ration. The EE digestibility in goats was higher (P<0.05) in CR-4 as well as CR-3 as compared to other rations. The NDF and ADF digestibility values were highest (P<0.05) in CR-2, whereas lowest in CR-1 as compared to other rations. The DM consumption expressed as g/d, as %B.wt. and as g/KgW0.75 was higher (P>0.05) in sheep fed CR-1 as compared to other three rations. The DCP intake as g/KgW0.75 was more (P>0.05) in sheep fed CR-1, followed by CR-4, CR-2 and CR-3. The highest (P>0.05) TDN intake (g/KgW0.75) was observed in CR-4 when compared to other three rations. The DM consumption expressed as g/d, as %B.wt. and as g/KgW0.75 were higher (P>0.05) in goats fed CR-4 as compared to other three rations. The DCP intake as g/KgW0.75 was more (P>0.05) in goats fed CR-1, followed by CR-2, CR-4 and CR-3. The highest (P>0.05) TDN intake as g/KgW0.75 was observed in CR-4 when compared to other three rations. In sheep „N‟ retention expressed as g/d) or as g/KgW0.75/d was higher (P>0.05) in CR-1 as compared to other three rations. Whereas the „N‟ retention expressed as % absorbed was higher (P>0.05) in CR-4, followed by CR-1, CR-3 and CR-2. The „N‟ retention expressed as g/d and g/KgW0.75/d was higher (P>0.05) in goats fed CR-2 as compared to other rations. The „N‟ retention expressed as % absorbed was higher (P>0.05) in goats fed CR-2, followed by CR-1, CR-3 and CR-4. The total purine derivatives excretion (mmol/d) was higher (P>0.05) in sheep fed CR-3 as compared to other rations. Microbial nitrogen synthesis expressed as g/DOMI and g/DOMR was higher in sheep fed CR-3, followed by CR-2, CR-1 and CR-4. The total purine derivatives excretion (mmol/d) was higher (P>0.05) in goats fed CR-1 (7.46) as compared to other three rations. Microbial nitrogen synthesis expressed as g/Kg DOMI and g/Kg DOMR was higher but not significant in goats fed CR-1, followed by CR-2, CR-4 and CR-3. The results of the present study revealed that palm kernel meal and sheanut meal can be incorporated in the complete rations of sheep and goats upto 20% level replacing DORB on weight by weight basis. | en_US |
