Abstract

This study evaluated the rumen degradability of sugar beet pulp silage (SBP), pomegranate pulp silage (PPS), and orange pulp silage (OPS) in cattle and buffalo. The experiment involved three Brown Swiss cattle and three Anatolian buffalo, each fitted with rumen cannulas in the left paralumbar fossa. The silage samples were dried, and their nutrient contents determined. The dried samples were weighed into nylon bags, which were then incubated in the rumen through the cannulas. Nylon bags were removed after 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, and 72 hours of incubation, then washed, dried, weighed, and analyzed for neutral detergent fiber (NDF). Dry matter and NDF degradability were calculated based on the differences between the initial and final sample weights and nutrient contents. Results showed no significant differences in dry matter degradability of PPS between buffalo and cattle (p>0.05). The DM degradability of the OPS and SBP was higher in the cattle (p<0.05). NDF degradability of the PPS and OPS was similar between two species (p>0.05), however, NDF degradability of the SBP was higher in the cattle (p<0.05). For all parameters except for NDF degradability of PPS there were a time effect on the degradability. The time x species interaction was not significant for all parameters (p>0.05). In conclusion, although there was no any difference in the degradability of the PPS, cattle degraded the OPS and PPS more effectively than buffalo. This suggests that the degradability is affected by the characteristics of the feed and the species.

Özet

Bu çalışma, sığır ve mandalarda şeker pancarı posası silajı (ŞPPS), nar posası silajı (NPS) ve portakal posası silajının (PPS) rumen parçalanabilirliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Deneme, sol paralumbar fossa bölgesine rumen kanülü yerleştirilmiş üç İsviçre Esmeri sığır ve üç Anadolu mandası üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Silaj örnekleri kurutulmuş ve besin madde içerikleri belirlenmiştir. Kurutulan örnekler tartılarak naylon torbalara konulmuş, daha sonra bu torbalar kanüller aracılığıyla rumene yerleştirilmiştir. Naylon torbalar 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 ve 72 saatlik inkübasyon sürelerinin ardından rumenden çıkarılmış, yıkanmış, kurutulmuş, tartılmış ve nötral deterjan fiber (NDF) analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Kuru madde ve NDF parçalanabilirliği, başlangıç ve inkübasyon sonrası örneklerin ağırlık ve besin madde içerikleri arasındaki farklara göre hesaplanmıştır. Sonuçlar, NPS’nin kuru madde parçalanabilirliği bakımından sığır ve manda arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadığını göstermiştir (p>0.05). PPS ve ŞPPS nin kuru madde parçalanabilirliği sığırlarda daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.05). NPS ve PPS’ nin NDF parçalanabilirliği iki tür arasında benzer iken (p>0.05), ŞPPS’ nin NDF parçalanabilirliği sığırlarda daha yüksek tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). NPS’nin NDF parçalanabilirliği dışındaki tüm parametrelerde zaman etkisi görülmüştür. Zaman×tür etkileşimi tüm parametreler için önemsiz bulunmuştur (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak, NPS’nin parçalanabilirliği açısından türler arasında fark olmamasına rağmen, sığırların PPS ve ŞPPS’yi mandalardan daha etkin bir şekilde parçaladığı belirlenmiştir. Bu durum, parçalanabilirliğin yem özellikleri ve tür farklılıklarından etkilendiğini göstermektedir.
