Comparison on digestibility of different pulse crop residues in goats

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the digestibility of various pulse crop wastes in goats. The Department of Physiology and Biochemistry at the University of Veterinary Science in Yezin, Myanmar, is where this experiment was carried out. The experimental feedstuffs were Green Gram Residue (GGR), Groundnut Residue (GNR), Chickpea Residue (CHR), Black Gram Residue (BGR) and Lablab Bean Residue (LLBR). Fifteen male goats with the age of 6-7 months old having 21.0±1.0kg body weight were used as a completely randomized design, the experimental animals were divided into five groups, each consisting of three goats. The higher organic matter content was observed in BGR and LLBR while GNR's crude protein content and GGR's fiber content were significantly greater (p
