ABSTRACT
Maize straw is an agricultural by-product that has the potential
to be used as an alternative feed for ruminants. In order to utilise this crop
residue rationally, their nutritional value should be improved to promote their use
as silage. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro fermentability and digestibility
of maize by-product silage in ruminant feed rations based on Indigofera
zollingeriana as a substitute for Napier grass (NG). A completely randomised
design with 3 treatments and 8 replications was applied. The proportion of
forage and concentrate in rations was 45:55% on a dry matter (DM) basis.
The experimental treatments included a ration containing 35% NG (R0),
a ration containing 17.5% NG and 17.5% maize straw silage (MSS) (R1), and
lastly a ration containing 35% MSS (R2). The results showed that increasing
the levels of maize straw silage in rations reduced in vitro digestibility including
DM and organic digestibility, ammonia (NH3), total and proportional volatile
fatty acid (VFA) contents, gas production, and the total protozoan and bacterial
populations (P < 0.01). However, the numerical rumen pH values (6.45–6.71),
VFA levels (69.08–89.23 mM), NH3 concentrations (10.50–12.88 mM), and
gas production (185.46–193.33 ml/g DM) were within the normal range for
ruminant requirements in terms of gas production and in vitro feed fermentation
in the rumen. There was no significant difference found in methane production
(P > 0.05). Considering rumen fermentation products and pH ruminal condition,
it can be concluded that maize straw silage up to 50% can be used as a feed
substitute in ruminant rations.
