Abstract

Nutrition is one of the most important livestock breeding. As much as 70% of breeding costs are feed. The importance of suitable and adequate feeding of ruminants requires that the nutritional value of each foodstuff and its components be determined according to the correct and standard methodology. In this regard, the determination of the nutritional value of forage derived from legumes, which is used in some way in the feeding of livestock, it is especially important. A study was conducted to determine the nutritional value of peanut forage. Determination of chemical compounds according to standard methods and metabolizable energy was also performed by gas test. The results showed that crude protein and crude fat content in peanut forage was 7.21% and 1.84%, respectively. The metabolizable energy was 6.8 MJ / kg dry matter and the digestibility of organic matter was 44.79% The amount of short chain fatty acids was 0.68%, phenol total 1.93% dry matter, total tannin 1.32% dry matter and fermentation potential was 64.6%. According to the results, it can be admitted that the nutritional value of peanut forage is appropriate and, with suitable management, it is possible to use this source of forage in feeding animals.
