“…Furthermore, addition of S. cerevisiae and L. leucocephala on low-quality feed improved nutrient digestibility and cattle performance (Herawaty et al, 2013). In previous studies, supplementation of L. leucocephala increased total dry matter intake and crude protein digestibility in goats (Aregheore & Parera, 2004;Kanani et al, 2005;Abdulrazak et al, 2006;Yousuf et al, 2007;Fasae et al, 2011), as feed additive for growing lambs and cow's milk production (Salem et al, 2011;Salem et al, 2014).…”

This field study was aimed to evaluate the availability and the utility of forage on Bali cattle in Amarasi system in dry land area such as Kupang. Amarasi system is a fattening production system (paronisasi), which traditionally utilizes Leucaena leucocephala forage in dry season of Amarasi region. This field study was conducted during the period of July to December 2013 in Oesena and Merbaun Villages. The method used in this research was field survey. This type of survey was used to identify the forage availability and utility for Bali cattle; including determining the level of feed intake, measuring carrying capacity of both observe villages, and recording body weight of cattle. Cluster random sampling was applied in this study to determine sample used in the research, those were two villages with different altitudes, namely Oesena Village and Merbaun Village. Data were analyzed descriptively to describe the related existing conditions in the field. T-test was conducted to determine leucaena consumption and Bali cattle body weight in both villages. The results showed that during observation period, availability of leucaena forage for cattle was low based on dry matter intake 3.60 and 3.58 kg/head/day, which led to low consumption of cattle. Nevertheless, the use of leucaena in this system increased average body weight gain of Bali cattle up to 0.77 kg/day, due to high crude protein consumption. The conclusion of this study was the availability of leucaena as Bali cattle feed did not meet the cattle needs, but the use of leucaena increased the average of Bali cattle body weight gain.Key words: amarasi system, Bali cattle, Leucaena leucocephala, paronisasi ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi ketersediaan dan penggunaan hijauan pakan sapi Bali pada sistem Amarasi di lahan kering. Sistem amarasi adalah sebuah sistem penggemukan (paronisasi) ternak sapi Bali yang khas berbasis pakan hijauan lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) pada musim kemarau di wilayah Amarasi. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli sampai dengan Desember 2013 di Desa Oesena dan Desa Merbaun Kabupaten Kupang Propinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei lapang untuk mengidentifikasi hijauan pakan ternak yang terdapat di kandang, mengukur tingkat konsumsi pakan ternak, besarnya kapasitas tampung pada kedua desa dan pertambahan bobot badan ternak sapi Bali. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan menggunakan cluster random sampling. Dua desa dengan ketinggian berbeda dipilih, yaitu Desa Oesena dan Desa Merbaun. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk menggambarkan kondisi di lapangan. Uji t dilakukan untuk mengetahui nilai bobot badan konsumsi lamtoro pada kedua desa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai konsumsi lamtoro, yaitu 3.60 dan 3.58 kg/ekor/hari serta kapasitas tampung di dua desa yang rendah, namun pertambahan bobot badan sapi Bali meningkat hingga 0.77 kg/ekor hari yang disebabkan oleh tingginya konsumsi protein kasar. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ketersediaan lamtoro sebagai pakan sapi Ba...

“…Thus, successful livestock production requires the application of strategies that optimize the use of the environment and available nutrient sources so as to capitalize on the production potential of livestock. For the effective use of native pasture, supplementation is needed in order to meet the nutritional requirements of goats, especially for the small producer (Kanani, 2006;Silva et al, 2010).…”

-The objective of the present study was to assess the growth performance and carcass traits of Moxotó goat kids fed different levels concentrate (supplement) (SL) on native pasture under semiarid conditions in Brazil. Thirty-two castrated kids (15.7±0.78 kg initial BW) were allocated randomly to one of the four SL (treatment groups: 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/kg BW). When the animals of treatment group 15 g/kg BW reached 25 kg BW, the animals in the other treatments groups were also slaughtered. Therefore, the animals belonging to the 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/kg of BW were finished with 18.40, 21.04, 22.94 and 25.74 kg of BW, respectively. The concentrate supplementation positively influenced the performance and the carcass traits of animals, providing higher feed intake and thus greater weight gain. The results of cold carcass yields were 405.9, 427.0, 449.1 and 462.9 g/kg of SBW for 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/kg BW, respectively. The weight of the different commercial cuts, (neck, ribs, shoulder, loin and leg) increased linearly as the SL increased; however the yields of the carcass cuts were not influenced, except for the shoulder. Overall, the distribution of non-carcass fat increased as SL increased, with the exception of mesenteric fat yield, which was not influenced. The use of concentrate supplementation to Moxotó goats under grazing conditions on native rangelands of the Brazilian semiarid improves the performance of animals and carcass yield, but does not affect the yields of commercial cuts of Moxotó growing goats.

“…The role of tannins in this process was analyzed after polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVPP), a tannin inhibitor, was added. These plants were chosen because of their prevalence in semi-arid regions of Brazil and other tropical countries; these species are also used in small ruminants' feed and are tannin-rich (KANANI et al, 2006;MONTEIRO et al, 2006;RIVERA-ARCE et al, 2007). A. colubrina, L. leucocephala and M. tenuiflora extracts were prepared as described by Barrau et al (2005).…”

Tanniferous plants represent a promising alternative for controlling gastrointestinal nematodes of small ruminants. This experiment evaluated the effects of extracts from the leaf and stem of Anadenanthera colubrina, Leucaena leucocephala and Mimosa tenuiflora on larval exsheathment of Haemonchus contortus in vitro and verified the role of tannins in this process. Third-stage larvae of H. contortus were incubated with extracts for 3 hours and were exposed to sodium hypochlorite solution. The extracts were tested at 300 µg.mL -1 and accompanied by controls: phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVPP). The larval exsheathment was evaluated for 60 minutes, and the results were subjected to the Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.05). The six extracts blocked larval exsheathment. After PVPP addition, a tannin inhibitor, the exsheathment percentage was similar to the PBS (p > 0.05), except for L. leucocephala and M. tenuiflora leaf extracts. However, pre-incubation with PVPP of these two extracts significantly changed larval exsheathment when compared to the non-treated extracts (p < 0.05). These results suggest that A. colubrina, L. leucocephala and M. tenuiflora could be useful in gastrointestinal nematode control and that tannins are probably the main compounds involved in the observed effects. However, in vivo and toxicological studies should be conducted.Keywords: In vitro, tannins, polyvinyl polypyrrolidone, helminth control, phytotherapics. ResumoPlantas taniníferas representam uma promissora alternativa de controle dos nematóides gastrintestinais de pequenos ruminantes. Esse experimento avaliou in vitro os efeitos dos extratos das folhas e caules de Anadenanthera colubrina, Leucaena leucocephala e Mimosa tenuiflora sobre o desembainhamento larvar de Haemonchus contortus e verificou o papel dos taninos nesse processo. Larvas de terceiro estádio de H. contortus foram incubadas com 300 µg.mL -1 de extrato por 3 horas e expostas a uma solução de hipoclorito de sódio. O ensaio foi acompanhado por controles: solução salina tamponada com fosfato (PBS) e polivinilpolipirrolidona (PVPP). O desembainhamento larvar foi avaliado durante 60 minutos e os resultados submetidos ao teste Kruskal-Wallis (p < 0,05). Os seis extratos bloquearam o desembainhamento larvar. Após adição de PVPP, um inibidor de taninos, o percentual de desembainhamento foi similar ao PBS (p > 0,05), exceto nos extratos das folhas de L. leucocephala e M. tenuiflora. Entretanto, a pré-incubação desses dois extratos com PVPP alterou significativamente o desembainhamento quando comparado com extratos não-tratados (p < 0,05). Esses resultados sugerem que A. colubrina, L. leucocephala e M. tenuiflora podem ser úteis no controle de nematóides gastrintestinais e que os taninos são provavelmente os principais compostos envolvidos nos efeitos. Contudo, estudos toxicológicos e in vivo são necessários.Palavras-chave: In vitro, taninos, polivinilpolipirrolidona, controle de helmintos, fitoterápicos.
