Abstract:

To evaluate the nutritional value of sugarcane bagasse as livestock roughage, the common nutritional components, RFV and GI of sugarcane bagasse were calculated by comparing with the by-products such as Vicia villosa var. glabrescens, Erigeron breviscapus stems, broad bean stems and cooked artichoke petals. The results showed that the crude protein (CP) content of sugarcane bagasse was significantly lower than those of cooked artichoke petals, Vicia villosa var. glabrescens and Erigeron breviscapus stems (P<0.01), also lower than that of broad bean stems (P>0.05); the ether extract (EE) content of sugarcane bagasse was significantly lower than those of Vicia villosa var. glabrescens and Erigeron breviscapus stems (P<0.05), and the calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) content of sugarcane bagasse were significantly lower than those of the other roughages (P<0.05). Among the five types of roughages, RFV of Vicia villosa var. glabrescens, Erigeron breviscapus stems and cooked artichoke petals was 102.90, 88.62 and 94.75, respectively, obviously lower than that of high-quality silage corn (139.48) (P<0.05), while significantly higher than those of sugarcane bagasse (76.09) and broad bean stems (55.86) (P<0.01); and there was no much difference between sugarcane bagasse (76.09) and rice straw chaff (73.45) (P>0.05). Similarly, the dry matter intake (DMI) and milk net energy (NEL) of Vicia villosa var. glabrescens, Erigeron breviscapus stems and cooked artichoke petals were significantly higher than those of sugarcane bagasse and broad bean stems (P<0.05). In order, the RFVs were as follows: Vicia villosa var. glabrescens > cooked artichoke petals > Erigeron breviscapus stems > sugarcane bagasse > broad bean stems. The GI of Erigeron breviscapus stems with higher CP was prior to Vicia villosa var. glabrescens (P>0.05) and cooked artichoke petals (P<0.05), and the RFV of sugarcane bagasse and broad bean stems were fairly low (P<0.01), indicating lower feeding value of sugarcane bagasse. It is suggested that sugarcane bagasse could be mixed and fermented with other feed types, or puffed for processing feed pellets as roughage resource.
