Evaluation of nutritional values of tree-forage legume leaves from Gunungkidul District, Indonesia

Abstract. Darma ING, Jayanegara A, Sofyan Budiartilaconi E, Ridla M, Herdian H. 2023. Evaluation of nutritional values tree-forage legume leaves from Gunungkidul District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 2733-2744. This study aimed to assess the value tree found in District. A completely randomized design with 19 treatments (legume species) and six replications (nylon bags) was employed. The evaluated chemical composition, sacco dry organic matter degradation characteristics, their correlation composition. results indicated variations crude protein (CP) content (12.44% 26.9%), fiber (CF) (16.13% 27.38%), total digestible nutrients (TDN) (71.10% 88.17%), phenol (2.47% 21.87%) on a basis. Among species, Indigofera tinctoria L. exhibited highest soluble fraction (a) for (42.89±1.15%) (40.32±1.37%). Additionally, I. displayed potential degraded (a+b) (88.33±0.90%) (88.12±0.95%). effective (EDDM) (EDOM) were 64.57±0.48% 63.78±0.68%, respectively. coefficients (r) between ash, CP, TDN, CF, phenol, EDDM EDOM 0.54, 0.58, 0.53, -0.73, -0.53, 0.52, 0.55, -0.72, -0.56 In conclusion, District varying values, showing compared other legumes. ash content, TDN demonstrated positive correlations whereas CF negative leaves.
