Preference of Ligneous Forages by Sheep in South-East Mali 收藏

在马里东南部的绵羊偏爱木质草料
摘要
In many tropical countries, woody forage plays an important role in ruminant nutrition. Five woody species commonly used in south-eastern Mali were subjected to a preference test, in order to examine their potential of being included in the rations of stall-fed sheep. A complete randomised block (Latin square) experiment with four rams was carried out during two test periods of five days each to test the appreciation of fresh and dried leaves, respectively, of the five species. On each test day, the five species were offered concomitantly to the rams for 30 min in the morning, and the parameters of their consumption along with the nutritional value were determined. The average consumption of fresh leaves was 160.9 g, 115.8 g, 66.2 g, 11.6 g, and 5.7 g per kilogram of live weight, respectively, for Pterocarpus lucens, Entada africana, Ficus sycomorus, Pterocarpus erinaceus, and Khaya senegalensis. For dry leaves, the consumption per kilogram of live weight averaged 69.3 g, 39.3 g, 25.0 g, 8.4 g, and 3.7 g for P. lucens, F. sycomorus, P. erinaceus, K. senegalensis, and E. africana, respectively. These results indicate that P. lucens, followed by E. africana when fresh, and by F. sycomorus when dry were the most liked species and therefore show potential to be used as a feed supplement in the rations of stall-fed sheep.

在许多热带国家,伍迪草料在反刍动物营养中起着重要作用。为了检查其被纳入摊位喂养的绵羊的口粮的潜力,对东南马里东南部通常使用的五种木质物种进行了偏好测试。在五天的两个测试期间进行了一个完整的随机块(拉丁正方形)实验,分别测试了对五种物种的新鲜和干叶的欣赏。在每个测试日,早上将这五个物种同时向公羊提供30分钟,并确定其消费的参数以及营养价值。新鲜叶子的平均消费分别为160.9 g,115.8 g,66.2 g,11.6 g和5.7 g每公斤活体重,对于pterocarpus lucens,Entada Africana,Ficus sycomorus,Pterocarpus Erinaceus和Khaya Senegalensis。对于干叶,分别为P. Lucens,F。Sycomorus,P。Erinaceus,K。Senegalensis和E. Africana的P. Lucens,F。Lucens,P。Lucens和E. Africana平均每公斤活体重的消耗平均为69.3 g,39.3 g,25.0 g,8.4 g和3.7 g。这些结果表明,新鲜时的P. lucens,其次是非洲大肠杆菌,而在干燥的物种时,sycomorus是最喜欢的物种,因此显示出在摊位喂养的绵羊饲料中用作饲料补充剂的潜力。
