Análise bromatológica e digestibilidade “in vitro” de Cordia Mixa L. no sertão paraibano.

Abstract

Codia Mixa L. belongs to the Boraginaceae family, which is a satisfactory forage option for animal feed, being a plant well adapted to our region, which does not need much water and remains green throughout the year. This work aimed to evaluate the bromatological composition of the glue (Cordia Mixa L.) occurring in an introductory way in areas of the municipality of Pombal-PB, as well as to evaluate the in vitro digestibility of this plant, in view of the scarcity of information about this botanical species The samples were collected manually, about 500g of leaves of Cordia mixa L. in different locations in the loft area, where a sample of 90 to 100g of the material was used, which was taken to the ventilation oven and after pre-drying the samples were crushed in the stationary mill and passed through 1.0mm sieves and stored in identified containers. The following analyzes were determined: crude protein (CP) levels; neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (FDA), the “in vitro” digestibility coefficient of dry matter (DIVMS), dry matter (MS), mineral material (MM), organic matter (MO) and content of Foliar Water (TAF), between the values ​​of% CP from 11.31 to 13.41, for the results of% NDF there was a variation of 43.56 to 50.34, for% FDA from 29.07 to 34.78 , for% DIVMS was 52.25 to 54.67, for% MS 30.86 to 35.3 for% TAF 9.3891 to 11.03445 and for% MO 88.9656 to 90.6109.The results of the chemical composition indicated good nutritional value of the species, demonstrating that it has forage potential.
