ABSTRACT
Moghaddam M, Rahimian Y, Davoodi SM, Kheiri F., Moradi S, Faghani M, Moeini M., Determination of metabolizable
protein of agricultural waste In situ in fistulated
lambs, Onl J Vet Res., 21(8):470-474, 2017. Metabolizable protein from
potato, tomato, melon and strawberry plant shrubs was determined In situ in fistulated
castrated Ghezel lambs. Plant shrubs were grinded and
5g material was poured into nylon bags in fistulated
sheep. Digestibility measurements were
soluble and insoluble protein, and constant decomposition rate, determined at
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 96 h. Crude soluble protein in potato
shrub waste degraded ~20, tomato ~17, melon ~15, and strawberry ~11%, and fermentable protein ~34, ~21, ~38 and ~24%,
respectively. Metabolizable protein reached about 66
79, 67 and 44 gr/kg in the same plant shrubs. Significant differences were
observed in crude protein digestibility at different hours of incubation. We
find that tomato plant shrub had the highest metabolizable
protein and strawberry the least. Results suggest that these plant shrubs could
be used as a supplement feed for ruminants.
