Abstract

Imagine a world where livestock farming is more affordable and kinder to our planet. This study dives into how we can make that happen by using Gliricidia sepium (also known as Gamal) leaves as a substitute for expensive traditional concentrates in animal feed. We set up an experiment with four different feed mixes, gradually increasing the amount of Gliricidia sepium from 0% (our control) to 10%, 20%, and finally 30%. Our findings showed that adding more Gliricidia sepium significantly boosted the protein content of the feed and surprisingly, even lowered the tough-to-digest fiber components (NDF and ADF), while slightly reducing easily digestible carbohydrates (NFE).

When we looked at how well the feed was digested in a lab setting (in vitro), we found that moderate amounts of Gliricidia sepium (10% and 20%) kept digestibility levels strong, even slightly improving them. However, pushing it to 30% actually caused a noticeable drop in digestibility. Similarly, the rumen microbes, which are essential for digestion, were most active and efficient at the 10% Gliricidia sepium level, producing more gas, ammonia, and beneficial fatty acids, and synthesizing more microbial protein. But at 30%, their activity dipped.

What does this all mean? It suggests that Gliricidia sepium leaves can be a fantastic, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to traditional concentrates for ruminants. The sweet spot seems to be around 10-20% inclusion, where we get the best nutritional benefits and efficient digestion without running into problems from natural compounds in the leaves. This research offers exciting possibilities for farmers looking to cut costs and improve their animals' diets in a sustainable way.
