Abstract

Background and objectives: Due to limited rainfall, fertile land and poor distribution of water resources in the country, providing the feed for animal only through the cultivation of fodder or other feedstuffs is not enough. Understanding the nutritional value of native resistant species of each region for livestock, is a way to provide the animal feed requirements and consequent human food. Therefore, the aim of present study was compared the nutritional value of the leaves, pods, seeds and whole branches of Leucana (Leucaena leucocephala) in both winter and summer.Materials and methods: The chemical composition in different components of Leucana was measured. The GAS PRODUCTION and two steps digestion methods were used for determination of digestion and FERMENTATION of the samples.Results: The crude protein, ash, ADF and NDF content of leaves, pods and seeds of the plant were higher in summer compared to the winter. The tannin concentration of all components of Leucana in summer was higher than winter. The protein content of alfalfa was less than all components of Leucana, except the winter pod (P<0.05). The GAS PRODUCTION (GP) of alfalfa was higher than all components of Leucana in the both seasons (P<0.05). PARTITIONING FACTOR (PF) and microbial biomass efficiency (MBE) of Leucana in summer was more than winter. All mentioned FERMENTATION parameters, in the components of Leucana, were higher than alfalfa (P<0.05). The SCFA, ME, OMD of leaves, pods, seeds and whole branches of Leucana in winter samples were higher than summer samples (P<0.05). The ME of seed, pod and whole branches of Leucana in winter, and OMD of all components of Leucana were higher than alfalfa in the both seasons (P<0.05). The DIGESTIBILITY of Leucana components in winter samples was higher than summer samples; and for all components of Leucana, except the the seed, the DIGESTIBILITY was less than alfalfa (P<0.05).Conclusions: Overall, summer Leucana had less digestability compared to the winter Leucana. Totally, all components of the Leucana especially the grain had the high nutritional value that was consistent with the alfalfa or even higher, so it may be used as an alternative for alfalfa in susceptible areas.
