| Abstract: |
Bamboos have multi;..purpose use and are distributed throughout all ecological zone~ in
Nepal. They are the most popular in the day to day life of the rural people from housmg.,
furnishing, fencing, fuel wood to the use of animal feed. Although, the farmers
perception as a fodder in some parts of west Nepal is different, bamboos are extremely
popular as a nutritious fodder in the rural communities of the eastern hills of Nepal. In
most areas in the eastern hills, they are the most important source of gre.en fodder
particularly during the dry winter season.
A total of 9 different bamboo species commonly available in Dhankuta district was
collected during spring, pre-monsoon, monsoon and winter seasons for analyses of
nutrient contents. The chemical analyses revealed that bamboo leaves can supply dry
matter 44-51%, nitrogen free extractives 40-47%, crude protein 15-21%, total available
protein 11-18%, digestible organic matter 50-57%. neutral cellulase digestibility 45-58%
and metabolisable energy 7.5-8.6 MJ/KgDM The rumen degradable protein supply at
72-hrs incubation period was ranged from 53 to 67%. The mature or old leaves of
bamboos were found to supply Ca 0.31-0.72%. p 0.18-0.23%, K 1.16-1.53%, Mg 0.13-
0.28%, Cu 2.71-5.48ppm, Fe 185-363ppm, Mn 150-245ppm and Zn 24-71ppm in the d?
matter. The relative high content of available protein and higher dry matter content. m
comparison with tree fodders underline the considerable potential of bamboo as a feedmg
stufffor livestock. Based on the analytical findings, this report discusses the usefulness of
bamboos as an important feed supplement for ruminants. |
