Quality and microorganisms associated of four species of forages in a region in Ecuador

Abstract:

The employment of trees, bushes and leguminous in systems for the animal feeding is of great importance. The objectives were to determine the quality of four species of forages; as well as the microorganisms associated to these. The investigation was carried out in Sacred Domingo's county, Ecuador. The species Morus dawn, Gliricidia sepium, Erythrina poepegiana and Flemingia macrophylla were used. Before beginning the experiment he/she was carried out a pruning, to the 45 days of harvesting they took the samples of the biomass. They dried off in a stove to 65 °C during 72 hours. Nitrogen was determined (N), match (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfurate (S), boron (B), zinc (Zn), get paid (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), ash, ethereal extract (EE), gross protein (CP), fiber (CF) and gross energy (GE). The analysis microbiology consisted on the cultivation and count of colonies. Were used a design at random in blocks with four repetitions, an analysis of variance of double classification, using the statistical system Statistic Vers. 8. The species Morus alba, presented the biggest quality with high protein percentage and under of fiber. The aerobic microorganisms and the mushrooms and yeasts were superior in Flemingia. It concluded that the quality varied with the species standing Morera for its high protein percentage and low fiber.
