Nutritional characterization of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet)
Keywords:
forages, legumes, Lablab, nutritional valueAbstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional characterization of lablab, Rio Verde variety in two consecutive cuts (73 and 119 days of sowing), and with different bloom stage (5, 20 and 100 %). The observed mean values for CP, NDF, ADF, and cellulose were 19.6, 47.07, 31.9 and 23.79 %, and calculate values for DMD, RFV and NEg were 64.05 %, 127, y 0.73 Mcal/kg, in that order. Whereas the fractions of the used model (a, b and c) to calculate ruminal degradability of DM and CP were 22.16, 52.58 %, 0.07%/h, and 32.13, 60.13%, 0,05%/h, respectively, show an effect for cut and bloom stage. In addition, lablab has a nutritional value near the one of alfalfa hay in early bloom.
