NUTRITIONAL CONTENTS OF PANICUM MAXIMUM INCUBATED IN VITRO WITH PROCESSED ENTEROLOBIUM CYCLOCAPIUM.pdf Download (605kB) |
Abstract
The study was carried out to determine the proximate composition, anti-nutritional factors, mineral content, and in vitro gas production characteristics and parameters of processed Enterolobium cyclocapum seeds and Panicum maximum at ratio 50:50. Enterolobium cyclocapum seeds were harvested, unshelled and subjected to five treatments which include ( T1 = 100% P. maximum; T2 = 50% P. maximum and 50% Raw E. cyclocapum; T3 = 50% Panicum maximum and 50% Boiled Enterolobium cyclocapum ; T4 = 50% Panicum maximum and 50% Roasted Enterolobium cyclocapum ; T5 = 50% Panicum maximum and 50% Soaked Enterolobium cyclocapum were allowed. In vitro gas production technique for 24 hours were used to determine the nutritive values of 50% Panicum maximum and 50% processed Enterolobium cyclocapum seed. All data collected were subjected to analysis of variance. The crude protein ranged from 15.82 - 24.31g/100g DM among the treatments while crude fibre was between 2.88 and 15.39g/100g DM, ether extract ranged from 1.60 to 3.33g/100g DM and ash 4.35 to 9.35g/100g DM. Calcium ranged from (8.90 – 20.86%), magnesium ranged (5.03 – 5.45%), sodium (1.99 – 2.47%) and phosphorus (1.36 – 2.12%). It was observed generally that T2 recorded the highest among the treatments while the values obtained for the heat treated seeds were lower than T2. Oxalates ranged between (0.12% - 0.19%), phytates (0.24 – 0.33%), tannin (0.03 – 0.05%) and saponnin (0.35 – 0.41%). Methane (15.50 ml/200mg DM ) production indicated T2 ( 50% Panicum maximum and 50% Raw Enterolobium cyclocapum ) was highest. The potential gas production ‘a+b’ ranged from 11.3 - 24.0mL/200mg DM. The highest potential gas production ‘a+b’ value of 24.0mL/200mg DM was obtained in T2 compared to other dietary treatment. Dry matter digestibility (DMD) ranged between 51 – 91% while the rate of fermentation was between 0.67 and 1.06ml/hr. The rate of fermentation was directly proportional to dry matter digestibility ( DMD ); (T5) recorded the highest value. Processing enhanced the nutritional contents of Enterolobium cyclocapum seeds. Result obtained shows that there were significant differences (p<0.05) among treatments which indicated that T4 (50% Panicum maximum and 50% Roasted Enterolobium cyclocapum ) had the highest value (18.01) of Metabolisable Energy (ME), T1 (100% Panicum maximum ) had the highest value (54.86%) of Organic Matter Digestibility (OMD) and T2 (0.51umol) Short chain fatty acids ( SCFA ) have the potential benefit which can be used as supplement for ruminant feeding during dry season.
