“…Moreover, the proportion of morphological components in tall-sized genotypes is different in comparison to that of short-sized grasses. In general, there are more dead or senescent materials and a lower percentage of leaf blades (QUEIROZ et al, 2000;GOMIDE et al, 2015;SOUZA et al, 2017), which can be explained by the great proportion of basilar tillers of these genotypes, because basal tillers tend to present higher senescence rate compared to aerial tillers (PACIULLO et al, 2003). SOUZA et al (2017) observed a leaf blade (lB) proportion of 29.50% and a dead material (DDM) proportion of 29.67% in the tall-sized genotype 'CNPGl 96-27-3'.…”

“…However, the species has great variability in its germplasm, so there is the possibility of genotype selection with desirable characteristics according to the production system or the manner of exploitation. Thus, the selection and use of short-sized elephant grass have gained relevance in the last decades (WIllIAMS & HANNA, 1995;VIANA et al, 2015;SOUZA et al, 2017). The dwarf elephant grass often presents a greater leaf/stem ratio (lSR) and provides better grazing efficiency by animals than tall-sized elephant grass genotypes (CUNHA et al, 2007).…”

Tall and short-sized elephant grass genotypes: morphophysiological aspects cut-and-carry, and grazing management

et al. 2021

Elephant grass (pennisetum purpureum schum.) has been grown only in cut-and-carry systems for a long time. However, interest in its grazing management has been increasing because of the selection of short-sized genotypes, which have gained new relevance since 1988 with the registration of ‘mott’ grass. in this sense, tall and short-sized genotypes present important differences in morphology, quality and productivity; although, environmental factors also exert influence on these aspects. This review aimed to approach how the elephant grass size can influence the morphophysiological characteristics, management decisions, and exploitation of this species. the morphophysiological aspects and the elephant grass sizes are important to direct their utilization in the different production systems. The research results from previous decades suggest that the particularities of the tall-sized genotypes, such as great forage accumulation, high organic reserves content, and stem elongation, favor their management in cut-and-carry systems and industrial sectors. Conversely, the short-sized elephant grass genotypes present aspects as higher leaf proportion in the harvested forage, leaf/stem ratio, and tillering. these factors facilitate their exploitation in grazing systems.

ABSTRAKTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh kualitas pakan terhadap profil kualitas susu pada peternakan sapi perah rakyat di Kota Batu, Jawa Timur. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode observasi dan wawancara. Total responden berjumlah 40 orang peternak sapi perah dengan rata-rata kepemilikan sapi perah 5-6 ekor. Bahan pakan yang digunakan diantaranya adalah rumput gajah, konsentrat A (19,84% protein kasar), konsentrat B (14,45% protein kasar), susu skim, empog jagung, dan menir. Peternakan sapi perah rakyat dibagi menjadi 6 kelompok berdasarkan pakan yang digunakan yaitu Kelompok 1: rumput gajah + konsentrat A (60:40), Kelompok 2: rumput gajah + konsentrat B (60:40), Kelompok 3: rumput gajah + konsentrat A + susu skim (60:30:10), Kelompok 4 = rumput gajah + konsentrat B + susu skim (60:30:10), Kelompok 5: rumput gajah + konsentrat A + empog jagung (60:30:10), dan Kelompok 6: rumput gajah + konsentrat A+ menir (60:30:10). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi nutrien pada kelompok 1 cenderung lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok lainnya. Substitusi sebagian proporsi konsentrat dengan susu skim, empog jagung, dan menir secara umum cenderung menurunkan konsumsi nutrien. Evaluasi profil kualitas susu menunjukkan bahwa kelompok 1 menghasilkan susu segar dengan kadar lemak yang relatif lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok lainnya. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa profil kualitas susu pada peternakan sapi perah rakyat sangat bergantung pada kualitas pakan. Peternak sapi perah rakyat direkomendasikan untuk menggunakan pakan yang terdiri dari 60% rumput gajah + 40% konsentrat A agar memberikan hasil yang optimal terhadap konsumsi nutrien dan profil kualitas susu.

“…The high fiber content of the grasses will be degraded and fermented by rumen microbes in the rumen of goat [2]. Elephant grass contains 13% crude protein (CP) with about 60% digestibility [3]; [4]; [5]; [6].Mini elephant grass contains CP around 12% [7]; [8], whereas Panicum maximum contains 6% CP [9]; [10] ), and Brachiaria decumbens contains 9% CP with about 70% digestibility [11]; [12]. Concentration of ADF of those Elephant grass, Mini elephant grass, Panicum maximum, and Brachiaria decumbens were 38%, 34%, 40% and 44%, respectively.…”

Goats generally have the ability to utilize carbohydrate sources from forages in the form of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin obtained from plant cell walls. Generally, forage contains relatively high crude fiber content which can be indicated by the contents of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of the forage. The aim of this study was to examine the level of the feed consumption and digestibility of NDF and ADF of 4 different local forages fed to goats. This study was designed based on the Latin Square Design which consisted of 4 dietary treatments with 4 replications in each dietary treatment. A total of 4 male goats, with relatively the same weight and age, were randomly assigned to an individual metabolic cage fed with 4 diets including Elephant grass (R1), Mini elephant (ME) grass (R2), Panicum maximum (PM) grass (R3) and Brachiaria decumbens (BD) grass (R4). Each diet added 20% of rice bran. The results indicated that a diet containing Mini elephant grass had relatively higher digestibility of ADF and NDF compared to that of the other 3diets. In contrast, a diet containing Panicum maximum grass had lower ADF and NDF digestibility than other diets. In conclusion, adding rice bran to the diet based on Mini elephant grass, Elephant grass, and BD grass resulted in higher ADF and NDF consumption and digestibility compared with a diet based on PM grass. Keywords: Digestibility, NDF, ADF, local grasses, goat.
