EFFECT OF METHODS AND DURATIONS OF DRYING ON IN VITRO DIGESTION OF GLIRICIDIA MACULATA
Research was conducted to evaluate methods and durations of drying of Gliricidia leaves on in vitro digestion. The methods of drying had been direct (DD=under sunshine) or indirect (ID+under shading) and the durations of drying were 0 (fresh) or 6 days. SAmples were prepared by grinding analysis of...

| Summary: | Research was conducted to evaluate methods and durations of drying of Gliricidia leaves on in vitro digestion. The methods of drying had been direct (DD=under sunshine) or indirect (ID+under shading) and the durations of drying were 0 (fresh) or 6 days. SAmples were prepared by grinding analysis of in vitro digestion to measure fraction readily fermented (a) and total gas production (a+b). Results indicated that duration of drying effected (P<0.05) fraction readily fermented (a) between fresh and 6 days direct drying being 19.01 ml/200 mgBK and 5.57 ml/200 mlBK, while for indirect drying, being 105.63 ml/200 mgBK and 49.36 ml/200 mgBK, respectively. The total gas production indicated that method of drying decreases (P<0.05) value of (a+b) from 124.63 ml/200 mlBK for DD, and from 95.14 ml/200 mgBK to 89.75 ml/200 mgBK for ID. It is concluded that Gliricidia leaves could be stored after drying without affecting utilization of the feed in the rumen. |
