ABSTRACT

 

Moghaddam M, Rahimian Y, Davoodi SM, Kheiri F., Moradi S, Faghani M, Moeini M., Determination of metabolizable protein of agricultural waste In situ in fistulated lambs, Onl J Vet Res., 21(8):470-474, 2017. Metabolizable protein from potato, tomato, melon and strawberry plant shrubs was determined In situ in fistulated castrated Ghezel lambs. Plant shrubs were grinded and 5g material was poured into nylon bags in fistulated sheep.  Digestibility measurements were soluble and insoluble protein, and constant decomposition rate, determined at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h. Crude soluble protein in potato shrub waste degraded ~20, tomato ~17, melon ~15, and strawberry ~11%, and fermentable protein ~34, ~21, ~38 and ~24%, respectively. Metabolizable protein reached about 66 79, 67 and 44 gr/kg in the same plant shrubs. Significant differences were observed in crude protein digestibility at different hours of incubation. We find that tomato plant shrub had the highest metabolizable protein and strawberry the least. Results suggest that these plant shrubs could be used as a supplement feed for ruminants.
