Feed wafers from fermented sugarcane tops and Tithonia diversifolia with added tapioca starch: Effects on physical quality and in-vitro parameters for ruminant feed

Background: Alternative feeds for ruminants that can be explored are sugarcane tops as a source of crude fibre and tithonia as a source of protein. Long droughts and direct use of these components may not meet nutritional standards. Processing technologies such as wafer production, using tapioca s...

description Background: Alternative feeds for ruminants that can be explored are sugarcane tops as a source of crude fibre and tithonia as a source of protein. Long droughts and direct use of these components may not meet nutritional standards. Processing technologies such as wafer production, using tapioca starch as an adhesive, can improve feed durability, storage and nutritional consistency. The addition of tapioca starch in ruminants feed should be considered, as its high starch content may affect overall feed digestibility. Aim: This research aims to assess at knowing the impact of the use of tapioca starch as an adhesive on complete feed wafers based on fermented sugarcane tops and tithonia to produce sturdy physical quality of wafers and increase in vitro digestibility of nutrients. Methods: The experiment used a group randomised design with 4 treatments, consisting of 5% tapioca starch in the ration (T1), 10% tapioca starch in the ration (T2), 15% tapioca starch in the ration (T3), 20% tapioca starch in the ration (T4), and 5 groups as replicates. The parameters included physical properties of wafers (aroma, texture, color, water binding capacity, and density), in vitro digestibility of nutrients, VFA production, NH3, pH, methane gas production, and total gas production. Results: The results indicated that the use of tapioca starch had a non-significant effect (P>0.05) on colour, and significant effect (P [Open Vet J 2024; 14(12.000): 3599-3613]
