Mineral profile, palatability and digestibility of marginal land grasses of trans-Himalayan grasslands of Pakistan

The objective of this study was to explore the nutritive value of locally available marginal land grasses. Twelve marginal land grasses viz., Cynodon dactylon, Apluda mutica, Setaria pumila, Panicum turgidum, Pennisetum orientale, Digitaria sanguinalis, Saccharum spontaneum, Rottboellia exaltata, Ar...

Zusammenfassung:The objective of this study was to explore the nutritive value of locally available marginal land grasses. Twelve marginal land grasses viz., Cynodon dactylon, Apluda mutica, Setaria pumila, Panicum turgidum, Pennisetum orientale, Digitaria sanguinalis, Saccharum spontaneum, Rottboellia exaltata, Arthraxon prionodes, Cenchrus ciliaris, Desmostachya bipinnata and Andropogon squarrosus were identified and analyzed for dry matter (DM), macro-minerals (Ca, P, K and Mg) and micro-minerals (Cu, Zn, Mn and Co). The DM, Ca, P, K and Mg at early bloom stage were 30.1 plus minus 1.080, 0.31 plus minus 0.044, 0.024 plus minus 0.003, 0.63 plus minus 0.047 and 0.005 plus minus 0.001 %, respectively. The Cu, Zn, Mn and Co at early bloom stage were 17.25 plus minus 1.42, 10.30 plus minus 1.961, 7.35 plus minus 0.489 and 0.020 plus minus 0.005 ppm, respectively.
