Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of growing sites on the chemical composition, in vitro gas production, methane production, metabolisable energy, organic matter digestibility, true digestibility, microbial protein production and efficiency of microbial protein synthesis of Salix babylonica leaves by in vitro gas production technique. The chemical composition, in vitro gas production, methane production, metabolisable energy, organic matter digestibility, true digestibility, microbial protein production and efficiency of microbial protein synthesis of Salix babylonica leaves ranged with growing site. Crude protein, condensed tannin, methane production, metabolisable energy, organic matter digestibility, true digestibility, true digestible dry matter, partitioning factor, microbial protein production and efficiency of microbial protein synthesis ranged from 9.26 to 14.78%, 2.07 to 5.75%, 10.10 to 11.93%, 6.91 to 8.18 MJ/kg KM, 53.46 to 55.25%, 60.40 to 84.46% and 305.17 to 472.26 mg, 4.04 to 4.69, 146.11 to 227.06 mg, 46.86 to 54.45%, respectively. It was found that Salix babylonica leaves studied not only provide with nutrients for ruminant but also have potential for mitigating of enteric methane produced during fermentation. Selection of feedstuffs should be conducted not only using gas production data but also fermentation parameters such as true digestibility, microbial protein production etc., which make it possible to make a sound decision about feedstuffs. Further in vivo studies are needed to test the results obtained from such experiments.
