Abstract
The effect of processing on the nutritional values of Delonix regia seeds incubated with Pennisetum purpureum in terms of proximate, gas production characteristics, methane production, predicted metabolizable energy, organic matter digestibility and short chain fatty acids production were determined. Five treatments ( T1, mixture of soaked Delonix regia seed and Pennisetum purpureum; T2, mixture of raw Delonix regia seed and Pennisetum purpureum; T3, mixture of roasted Delonix regia seed and Pennisetum purpureum; T4, mixture of boiled Delonix regia seed and Pennisetum purpureum; T5, 100% Pennisetum purpureum which serves as control ) were allowed. In vitro gas production techniques for 24 hours were used to determine the nutritive value of 50% Delonix regia seed and 50% Pennisetum purpureum. The crude protein ranged from 13.38 to 15.71g/100g DM among the treatments while crude fibre was between 20.10 and 21.40g/100g DM , ether extract ranged from 1.90 to 3.12g/100g DM and ash 7.77 to 12.34g/100g DM. Methane ( ml/200mg DM ) production indicated T3 ( 50% roasted Delonix regia seed and 50% Pennisetum purpureum ) was highest and least in T5 ( 100% Pennisetum purpureum ). The potential gas production ‘a+b’ ranged from 12.33 to 28.33mL/200mg DM ). The highest potential gas production ‘a+b’ value of 28.33mL/200mg DM was obtained in T1 compared to other dietary treatment. The result obtained shows that there were significant differences (p<0.05) among the treatments which indicated that T1 ( 50% soaked Delonix regia seed and 50% Pennisetum purpureum ) has the highest value of Metabolisable Energy (ME), Organic Matter Digestibility (OMD), Short chain fatty acids ( SCFA ) have the potential benefit which can be used as supplement for ruminant feeding during dry season.
