CONSUMO, CALIDAD NUTRICIONAL Y DIGESTIBILIDAD APARENTE DE MORERA (MORUS ALBA) Y PASTO ESTRELLA (CYNODON NLEMFUENSIS) EN CABRAS

Abstract

Se evaluó la calidad, selección y digestibilidad aparente en cabras, del consumo de morera y estrella africana ofrecidos de forma fresca y parcialmente deshidratada. El experimento se llevó a cabo en la Estación Experimental “Alfredo Volio Mata” de la Universidad de Costa Rica. El forraje cosechado fue suministrado a 12 cabras de las razas Saanen, Toggenburg y La Mancha no lactantes y no gestantes, distribuidas en un diseño irrestricto al azar con un arreglo factorial 2x2 y con un peso vivo promedio de 37±5 kg. Los tratamientos experimentales fueron: a) estrella fresca, b) estrella parcialmente deshidratada, c) morera fresca y d) morera parcialmente deshidratada. El forraje se ofreció a los animales en forma picada. Se observó un consumo promedio de materia seca de: 0,93; 0,76; 1,17 y 1,12 kg.animal-1.día-1 de MS (±0,09), para los tratamientos estrella fresca, estrella parcialmente deshidratada, morera fresca y morera parcialmente deshidratada, respectivamente. Esto representó 2,62; 2,09; 3,17 y 3,13% (±0,24) del peso vivo. El consumo de proteína cruda fue menor con la estrella parcialmente deshidratada y mayor con la morera fresca (75,2 vs. 135,4 g.animal-1.d-1). El porcentaje de digestibilidad aparente no fue estadísticamente diferente entre tratamientos; presentó un promedio de 49,18% para la MS, 59,82% para la PC, 57,83% para la FDN y 55,30% para la FDA. Este estudio demuestra que la especie de forraje influye significativamente sobre el consumo voluntario de materia seca en cabras; sin embargo, el contenido de materia seca en los forrajes utilizados no afectó dicho consumo.

Intake, nutritional quality, and apparent digestibility of mulberry (Morus alba) and star grass (Cynodon nlemfuensis) in goats. The quality, selection, intake, and apparent digestibility of mulberry and star grass in goats, offered fresh or partially dehydrated, were evaluated. The experiment was carried out at the “Alfredo Volio Mata” Experiment Station of the University of Costa Rica. Harvested forage was fed to 12 Saanen, Toggenburg and Lamancha non-lactating and non-pregnant goats, distributed in a randomized 2x2 factorial design, with an average live weight of 37±5 kg. The treatments were a) fresh star grass, b) partially dehydrated star grass, c) fresh mulberry, and d) partially dehydrated mulberry. Forage was offered chopped to the animals. Dry matter intake was 0.93, 0.76, 1.17 and 1.12 kg.animal-1.day-1 (±0.09) for fresh star grass, partially dehydrated star grass, fresh mulberry, and partially dehydrated mulberry, respectively. This represented 2.62, 2.09, 3.17 and 3.13% (±0.24) of body weight. Crude protein intake was lower with partially dehydrated star grass and higher with fresh mulberry (75.2 vs. 135.4 g.animal-1.day-1). Apparent digestibility was not statistically different between treatments; it was on average 49.18% for DM, 59.82% for CP, 57.83% for NDF, and 55.30% for ADF. This study demonstrates that the forage species significantly affects voluntary dry matter intake in goats; however, dry matter content of the forages used in this study did not affect DM intake.
