The effect of adding pomegranate peel to dairy cattle TMRs on digestive parameters
Özet
TMRs provide the energy (Metabolic and Net energy Lactation) that ruminants require for
survival and productivity. TMRs (total mixed ration) are obtained by blending roughage, by-products,
minerals, vitamins and additives. Because it is costly and time consuming, the in vivo technique, which
is one of the digesting methods, is not chosen for determining the digestive values of feed additives and
feed raw materials used in ruminants. Instead, in recent years, the Daisy incubator technique has been
developed as an alternate method for quickly determining the expected digestive characteristics of a
small amount of feed. Plants containing secondary metabolites have been reported to increase unit feed
intake and by-pass protein levels in ruminants when added to TMR. The purpose of this study was to
see how adding condensed grain in the structure of pomegranate peel to dairy cattle TMRs affected
digestive parameters (0, 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm). According to the duncan test (DMD), the dry
matter digestibility achieved after 48 hours in the daisy incubator was 53.39% for the N0 (control TMR)
and 48.40% for the N15 (150 ppm pomegranate peel) (p<0.05). Neutral Detergent Fiber digestibility
values showed the highest N0 (control TMR) 68.05% and the lowest N15 (150 ppm pomegranate peel)
62.21% (p<0.05). Organic matter digestibility was determined to be statistically insignificant in the
research, and TMR values ranged between 89.26 and 89.55% (p>0.05). The addition of pomegranate
peel to dairy cattle TMR lowered digestibility. As a result, using pomegranate peel to boost feed
consumption in dairy cattle TMRs is not advised.
