“…Hasanah et al . [ 20 ] found that the increase in gas production was shown in the low percentage of supplementation compared to the high concentration of supplement, which is similar to this study results. This study found that there was a high gas production in the utilization of L. leucocephala supplement with 0.5% of Water Spinach.…”

“…In contrast, a previous study demonstrated that CP and NDF content was 19.5% and 41.5%, respectively [19]. According to the research by Hasanah et al [20] and Opene et al [21], Water Spinach contained CP levels between 10.65%-24.6%, 13%-21.62% of CFs, 10.3% DM, and 89.42% OM. Some reports have varying results, which may be due to different varieties, periods of sample collection, and soil types.…”

Background and Aim: Ipomoea aquatica (Water Spinach) is the most potential for livestock growth performance, including chickens, pigs, cattle, and goats, especially in a tropical country like Cambodia. It is not only an alternative feed source but also one kind of supplemented feed for goat raising. Supplementation with Water Spinach in the utilization of low-quality tree foliage results in an increase in dry matter intake in goat production. This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of supplementation of Water Spinach in the utilization of Mimosa pigra and Leucaena leucocephala leaf in in vitro fermentation. Materials and Methods: The study was designed according to a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement in randomized design of seven treatments with different ratios consisted of different three types of dietary treatments, including M. pigra, L. leucocephala, and Water Spinach. The treatments were arranged according to a completely randomized design and were as follow: T1 = M. pigra leaf (100%); T2 = L. leucocephala leaf (100%); T3 = M. pigra leaf and L. leucocephala leaf (50% and 50%); T4 = M. pigra leaf and Water Spinach (99.5% and 0.5%); T5 = L. leucocephala leaf and Water Spinach (99.5% and 0.5%); T6 = M. pigra leaf and Water Spinach (99% and 1%); and T7 = L. leucocephala leaf and Water Spinach (99% and 1%). A total of 200 mg (dry matter) of dietary treatments were prepared in a 60 mL syringe. Each treatment was replicated 3 time. Gas recording of each treatment lasted for 3 days. In vitro was performed for 72 h, was followed by Makkar method. Gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h of incubation by using strict anaerobic technique. A mixture of rumen fluid and dietary treatments were carried out under continuous flushing with CO2 in sharking incubator at 39°C. After incubating for 72 h, the ammonia concentration (NH3-N) was measured and recorded to identify pH, nutrient digestibility, and ammonia concentration (NH3-N). Results: Nutrient digestibility of the treatment with Water Spinach supplement in the utilization of L. leucocephala was obtained at a higher digestibility than treatment with M. pigra (p < 0.05). Gas production was different between groups (p < 0.05). Treatment with only M. pigra leaf had the highest gas production (A), while treatment with Water Spinach supplementation had the lowest gas production (A). At 0–24 h, the treatment with L. leucocephala leaf and Water Spinach 0.5% had the highest gas production, but after 24 h, M. pigra leaf and Water Spinach 1% and L. leucocephala leaf and Water Spinach 0.5% produced more gas compared to the other treatments (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The supplementation of Water Spinach 1% in treatment with M. pigra and L. leucocephala leaf resulted in increased degradability, gas production, and NH3-N concentration without a change in the pH value rumen condition. Based on these results, it is recommended that the level of Water Spinach supplementation should be 1% of dietary intake. Future studies should consider investigating the rumen ecology associated with Water Spinach supplementation. Feeding with Water Spinach remains a good supplement for ruminant performance; therefore, further studies should be conducted using Water Spinach in ruminant feeding in both metabolic and feeding trials.

“…This phenomenon was supported by the lower VFA concentration in pelleted feed containing water spinach than that in control pelleted feed. In addition, Hasanah et al (2019) reported that potential of degraded fraction in feed supplemented with 0 or 20% water spinach was higher compared to 40% and 60% water spinach inclusion in feed. Indeed, the lowest acetate concentration on pelleted feed containing 60% water spinach was followed by the increasing acetate to propionate ratio and decrease methane and CO 2 production.…”

An in vitro technique based on two stages of batch culture was used to clarify fermentability and digestibility of pellet feed containing water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica). The portion of Pennisetum purpureum in the pellet feed was substituted with Ipomoea aquatica at respective levels of 0% (T1), 20% (T2), 40% (T3) and 60% (T4). The treatments were allocated in a completely randomized design with 5 replicates of each. The results showed that the substitution of water spinach in pellet did not effect on pH, ammonia (NH 3), enzyme protein and microbial protein. Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA), acetate (C2), propionate (C3), butyrate (C4), methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) were decreased (p<0.05) by water spinach substitution level in the treatments. The ratios of C2: C3 were increased (P<0.05) in both of T3 and T4. The increasing water spinach substitution level enhanced (p<0.05) dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility but crude fiber digestibility was unaffected. In conclusion, substitution of Pennisetum purpureum with Ipomoea aquatica at the level of 20% may be the best fiber source for ruminant diet.

Hasanah et al (2019) in the in vitro study showed that IA has the highest gas production and nutrient (Janèík et al, 2009;Chumpawadee and Pimpa, 2008). Therefore, it may need a technology for degrading fiber such as pelleting technology.…”

In the commercial red meat industry, a great diversity of feed management is found to meet the demands of the market, since the consumer has become more acquainted with of the significance of the relationship between food and health, which has motivated scientists and the farming industry to produce healthy meat with high nutrition value. There has been improving progress in various studies subjected to including feasible alternative products, particularly for forage in the ruminant feeds, which have been proved to have some potential bio-actions and improvement in ruminant production. Ipomea aquatica is a popular vegetable and medicinal herb in Asia, which shows a wide range of pharmacological properties, such as anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-calcification, anti-poison, anti-apoptotic agent and anti-mutagenic. The use of Ipomea aquatica in ruminant production has been reported by many researchers. The aim of this review is to report and describe the most recent research on the beneficial effect of describe and as an alternative of forage for ruminants and so its effect on the production performance and ruminants health.
