In vitro organic matter digestibility of certain legumes.

Abstract

A comparative study has been conducted on Lucerne (Medicago sativa). Cowpea (Vigna sinensis) and Sunhemp (Crotalaria juncia) with regard to the in vitro digestibility of organic matter at different days of cutting. Maximum organic matter digestibility was seen at 20th day of cutting for all three legumes. A highly significant correlation (P<.01) between in vitro organic matter digestibility and stage of cutting was observed in this study.
