EFFECT OF INCORPORATION OF GRAM (Cicer arietinum L.) STRAW IN TOTAL MIXED RATION ON IN VITRO STUDIES IN CATTLE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 7
Abstract
The study was conducted the effect of incorporation of gram (Cicer arietinum) straw in total mixed ration on in-vitro studies on cattle. The two treatments were T1 (control): concentrate mixture (45%) + wheat straw (55%) and T2 (Treatment): concentrate mixture (45%) + gram straw (80% replacement of wheat straw). The energy and protein requirements of cattle were met as per ICAR (1998) standards. The concentrate to roughage ratio was kept at 45:55. The TMR without gram straw was designated as G0 (control), gram straw was incorporated in TMR as replacement of wheat straw @ 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20 % and were designated as G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5, respectively, for in vitro studies. The statistical analysis of data revealed significant (P<0.05) decrease in in vitro dry matter digestibility IVDMD in G0, G3, G4, and G5 treatment group as compared to G1 and G2 groups. The statistical analysis of data revealed significant (P<0.05) decrease in in-vitro organic matter digestibility(IVOMD) in G0, G3, G4 and G5 treatment group as compared to G1 and G2 groups.
