“…The lower intake of goats fed with rations containing formaldehyde-protected SBM (PSBM50 and PSBM100) indicates that Kacang goats did not like the palatability of the rations because goats are selective feeders, as stated by Rahman et al . [29]. Although the DMI of the goats fed formaldehyde-protected SBM (541.1 and 606.9 g for PSBM50 and PSBM100, respectively) in this research were lower than those of the goats in Rahman et al .…”

Aim: This study aimed to investigate effects of rations containing formaldehyde-protected soybean meal on meat production in Kacang goats. Materials and Methods: Fourteen yearling Kacang bucks, weighing 15.8-19.8 kg, were arranged in a completely randomized design. The treatments included a control (PSBM0): 100% untreated SBM; PSBM50: 50% untreated SBM + 50% formaldehyde-protected SBM; and PSBM100: 100% formaldehyde-protected SBM. Results: The goats disliked the protected SBM. Therefore, differences in their intakes were reflected in their average daily gain (ADG). The ADG and slaughtered weight of the control group were the highest, while those of the PSBM100 and PSBM50 groups were similar. The carcass weights and meat production of the control group were higher than those of the PSBM50 group, but the retained protein to the meat conversion ratio of the PSBM50 group was lower than that of the control. The carcass percentages were similar between the treatments. Conclusion: The retained protein to meat conversion ratio of Kacang goats fed with 50% formaldehyde-protected SBM showed the lowest value, indicating that these rations efficiently produced meat in the carcass.

“…However, DMI was higher in T2 and T3 than T1, suggesting better palatability of the by-products than para-grass alone. Higher DMI was also reported in a previous study, in which goats were fed a combination of palm frond and Napier grass [1]. Higher palatability when replacing with PO by-products was not due to fat content since DMI was not parallel with fat content of T2 and T3.…”

“…The OPF as well as palm tree by-products (palm oil; PO, decanter; DC, palm kernel cakes; PKC and oil palm meal; OPM) have been extensively studied as a feed for ruminants. A study in goats showed that OPF or Napier grass + OPF ad libitum increased crude protein (CP) intake when compared with Napier grass [1]. The PO supplementation had no effect on growth performance but decreased cholesterol level in Black Bengal goats [2].…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the beneficial effects of dietary supplementation with oil palm frond (leaf) (OPF) with and without oil palm meal (OPM) on nutrient intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation and growth performance in goats.Methods: Six female crossbred goats were fed for 28 days of 3 diet treatments; 100% paragrass (T1); 50% para-grass + 50% OPF (T2), and 30% para-grass + 50% OPF + 20% OPM (T3). Body weight, rectal temperature, respiratory rate, and urine volume, food intake, dry matter intake and water intake were measured daily. Nutrient digestibility was determined from five consecutive days of last week in each diet. Ruminal fluid, urine and blood were collected at the end for determination of rumen protozoa and volatile fatty acid contents, urinary allantoin excretion, blood cell count and chemistry profiles.Results: Goats fed T2 and T3 showed higher dry matter and nutrients intakes while protein digestibility was suppressed compared with those for T1. Crude fat digestibility declined in T2 but maintained after adding the OPM (T3). High fat intake by giving OPF and OPM corresponded to a higher ruminal acetate/propionate ratio (C2/C3) and serum cholesterol level. An increased urinary allantoin/creatinine ratio was found in T2 and T3 compared with T1, implying an increased number of ruminal microbes.Conclusion: Increased dry matter intake in T2 and T3 suggested that oil palm by-products are partly useful as a replacement for para-grass in goats. Replacement with the by-products increased plasma cholesterol level, which suggested that these products are a useful energy source. Changes in rumen parameters suggested an increased microbial number and activity suitable for acetate production. However, the limited digestibility of protein implies that addition of high protein feeds may be recommended to increase body weight gain of goats.

“…Intake and digestibility There were differences (p < 0.05) among treatments with regards to all parameters measured (average daily feed intake, ADFI; dry matter intake, DMI; crude protein intake, CPI; nitrogen free extract intake, NFEI; acid detergent bre intake, ADFI and neutral detergent bre intake, NDFI) for nutrient intake ( Increased nutrient intake is an important factor for improved productivity in and utilization of feed by ruminants (19) which may be associated with some factors such as the palatability of the feed, low bre fraction etc. (20). This translates to the reason which may have brought about this results.…”

Background: There is less information in Nigeria with regard the understanding of the use of exogenous enzymes widely used in monogastric diets in ruminant’s rations. The study evaluated the effects of supplementing xylanase and glucanase in combination in rations of Yankasa rams. Sixteen yearling Yankasa rams (average 21 kg) were used. Four treatments were evaluated: control (without enzyme combination), 50:50, 75:25 and 25:75 xylanase-glucanase combinations denoted as T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively. The basal roughage was cowpea husk and sorghum husk. The feeding trial was conducted using complete randomize design.Results: There were differences (p<0.05) with regard to nutrient intake and total digestibility coefficient except crude protein and nitrogen free extract digestibility (p>0.05). The intake and digestibility increased with supplementation of xylanase and glucanase combination at 25:75 ratio respectively. It increased DM intake by 211.90 g/d, DM digestibility by 17.73%, ADF digestibility by 1.17% and NDF digestibility by 1.02%. The nitrogen balance in the body did not increase (p>0.05) with supplementation of 50:50 xylanase-glucanase combination. The efficiency of nitrogen utilization did not differ between the control and 50:50 xylanase-glucanase combination. Conclusion: The combination of xylanase and glucanase at ratio 25:75 respectively improved nutrient intake and digestibility but did not influence nitrogen utilization.
