Metabolic Benefit of Bulls Being Fed Moringa Leaves Twigs and Branches as a Major Concentrate Ingredient

The study was conducted to investigate nutrient metabolism and semen quality of bulls fed with moringa ( Moringa oleifera ) leaves, twigs, branches as a major concentrate ingredient. Twenty-one Red Chittagong about 204 (±50) kg initial live weight (LW) were randomly divided into three equal LW groups. They maize silage basal feedstuff for 65 days the supplementation mixtures at 1% LW, consisting either 0, 25, or 50% mash on fresh basis. sun-dried ground preparation moringa. results indicated that different levels in (0, 50%) did not change daily DM intake, digestibility, gain p > 0.05). However, increasing dietary (up 203 g/kg DM) significantly decreased production cost methane (CH 4 (methane emission [kg/kg gain] = 1.6422—[0.0059 × DM], n 12, R 2 0.384, P 0.032) similar metabolizable energy intake level (0.21 ± 0.01 MJ/kg LW). Also, higher reduced urinary nitrogen loss (urinary [% digested nitrogen] 43.0 – 0.069 [g/kg DM]; 0.3712, 0.034). Thus, by 1 CH 6 absorbed %. progressive motility sperm increased (33.0, 51.0, 60.1%, respectively; 0.03) containing 50%. It may be concluded feeding decrease without impacting beef cattle. Feeding cattle abate consequently environmental pollution.
