Abstract

This research was carried out to assess the nutritional content of frequently used 8 cereal grains and 13 agro industrial by-products (AIBP) as per CNCPS along with their in vitro digestibility, gas and methane production. It was observed that lignin (% NDF) was lowest in white maize (5.28) and highest in gram khanda (30.93). NPN (%SP) content was highest in gram churi (73.32) and lowest in wheat grains (10.85). Among grains, values (%) for protein fraction PA, PB1, PB2, PB3 and fraction PC were found to be highest for oat (10.58), followed by wheat (26.85), pearl millet (72.08),barley (17.63) and pearl millet (7.09), respectively while for AIBP, maximum values were observed for gram churi (32.67), followed by beet pulp (56.98), gram khanda (82.61), paddy straw (43.39) and in gram husk (25.07). For AIBP, carbohydrate fractions, CB1 content was highest (42.71) in wheat bran and CA was highest (61.74) in dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). It was observed that AIBP had more unavailable carbohydrate fraction (CC) in comparison to grains. Average values of IVDMD and IVOMD for grains were observed to be 89.78% and 90.80%, and for AIBP 75.19% and 75.23%, respectively. Average gas production (ml/200 mg) was found to be 57.85 for grains and 33.60 for AIBP. It was found that average methane generation (g/kg IVDMD) was comparable for grains and AIBP. Therefore, the study’s findings may help to clarify more about the digestibility and gas production of agro industrial by products and cereal grains for more precise and environment friendly feed formulation for dairy animals.
