“…However, the use of Leucaena leucocephala caused a reduction in the daily CH 4 emission of 11-31.56% when the legume was increased from 22% to 44% of the total DM intake [42,75,88]. Tables 5 and 6 show evidence of the effects of saponins from tropical trees on rumen fermentation, rumen microbial population, and CH 4 emissions.…”

“…A large diversity of tropical tree species could potentially be used to feed ruminants and improve livestock production [40][41][42]. The content of crude protein deriving from tropical tree foliage and fruit has a range of 136-325 g/kg dry matter (DM) and 79-429 g/kg DM, respectively, with a digestibility rate of 50-60% (Table 1) [20].…”

Methane produced by enteric fermentation contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Methane is one of the GHG resulting from anthropogenic activities with the greater global warming contribution. Ruminant production systems contribute between 18% and 33% of methane emissions. Due to this, there has been growing interest in finding feed alternatives which may help to mitigate methane production in the rumen. The presence of a vast range of secondary metabolites in tropical trees (coumarins, phenols, tannins, and saponins, among others) may be a valuable alternative to manipulate rumen fermentation and partially defaunate the rumen, and thus reduce enteric methane production. Recent reports suggest that it is possible to decrease methane emissions in sheep by up to 27% by feeding them saponins from the tea leaves of Camellia sinensis; partial defaunation (54%) of the rumen has been achieved using saponins from Sapindus saponaria. The aim of this review was to collect, analyze, and interpret scientific information on the potential of tropical trees and their secondary metabolites to mitigate methane emissions from ruminants.

“…The CP values found in the current experiment are greater than those of tropical grasses used for livestock in central Brazil. Cassimiro et al (2020) The increase in daily CP intake that Cratylia can promote in tropical grasses can result in increased performance and a reduction in GHG emissions (Canul-Solis et al, 2020;Albores-Moreno et al, 2020). In addition, the Cratylia maintains its green leaves throughout the dry period in several evaluated conditions (Matrangolo et al, 2018;Mattar, 2018).…”

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the growth curve and chemical composition of Cratylia (Cratylia argentea). The experiment was conducted with Cratylia planted in two-line spacings of 2 or 3 meters between rows and 0,5 m between plants. Cratylia plants were evaluated in a cycle of 126 days, with pruning events every 21 days, and a total of 6 assessments for each treatment. Parameters of bromatological composition (DM, CP, NDF, ADF) of plant edible fraction (EF) and productivity (total productivity and productivity of the EF in DM) were evaluated. The study was performed in a completely randomized design with 2 treatments (spacing) and 6 replications. The variations over days were evaluated using regression analysis, and the results were compared by Fisher test (p<0,05). The models that had the best fit for productivity was exponential and logistic, whereas, for the bromatological composition it was Gompertz and polynomial. The 3 m spacing had lower productivity and CP content. The Cratylia growth rate reduced with increased plant maturity, which suggested its prune at 86 days for the 2 m spacing and 91 days for 3 m spacing. Based on the results found in this research, the 2 m showed greater yield and CP content. Both spacings presented values of CP, NDF, and ADF of 20.26, 60.29 and 40.63% for 2 m spacing and 18.97, 60.61 and 42.11% for 3 m spacing, respectively for 105 days of pruning, which was less productive for both spacings.

“…Al incorporar follajes arbóreos como estrategia de suplementación de dietas a base de gramíneas tropicales, es común encontrar un incremento (20.90% en promedio) en la concentración de proteína cruda y una reducción en la concentración de carbohidratos estructurales (48.20% en promedio de FDN y 41.72% en promedio de FDA), lo que ocasiona que se presenten fluctuaciones en el contenido proteico y energético de la dieta (Albores-Moreno et al, 2019;Albores-Moreno et al, 2020a;Pinzón et al, 2011;Vargas et al, 2014).…”

“…En la región tropical del sureste de México se ha reportado una diversidad de especies forrajeras con potencial en la alimentación de rumiantes (Albores-Moreno et al, 2018;Molina-Botero et al, 2020;Valencia-Salazar et al, 2021); algunas de estas especies se caracterizan por su alta fermentación, cambios en el perfil de ácidos grasos volátiles (AGV) hacia una mayor producción de ácido propiónico y butírico, o inhibición en la producción de metano entérico (Albores-Moreno et al, 2020a;Valencia-Salazar et al, 2021). Entre dichas especies destacan, por su amplio uso en la ganadería, Thitonia diversifolia, Moringa oleífera, Leucaena leucocephala, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis y Guazuma ulmifolia (Aye, 2016;Holguín et al, 2020;Luna, 2021;Molina-Botero et al, 2020;Valencia-Salazar et al, 2021).…”

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el valor nutricional de dietas de Panicum maximum suplementadas con 30% de follajes arbóreos mezclados con yuca (Manihot esculenta). Se compararon seis tratamientos: T0 (P. maximum), T1 (Leucaena leucocephala), T2 (Moringa oleifera), T3 (Tithonia diversifolia), T4 (Guazuma ulmifolia) y T5 (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis). Se determinó la composición química, fermentación y digestibilidad in vitro, así como la producción de ácidos grasos volátiles (AGV). Los datos se analizaron con un análisis de varianza. La proteína cruda fluctuó de 8.34% a 11.70%, y la fermentación y la digestibilidad de la materia seca aumentaron (hasta 38.23% y 18.23%, respectivamente) (p < 0.05) con T5, T2, T1 y T3. Además, T5 y T2 incrementaron (p < 0.001) el ácido propiónico, mientras que T1 y T3 incrementaron el ácido butírico. Se concluye que la adición de H. rosa-sinensis, M. oleífera, L. leucocephala y T. diversifolia mejoran el perfil de AGV, fermentación y digestibilidad de la dieta.
