Banana fruits contained 209 g dry matter (DM) kg(-1) and their average composition per kg DM was 922 g organic matter (OM), 21 g ether extract, 60 g crude protein and 166 g neutral detergent fibre. Degradable and digestible OM content of bananas was 628 and 783 g kg(-1) DM, respectively. Degradability of crude protein was 74.1%. The net energy for lactation (NE1) content of bananas was estimated to be 7.55 MJ NE1 kg(-1) DM. Daily voluntary banana intake was more than 95% of the offered amount (5 kg fresh fruits). The good palatability and high energy content make unripe banana fruits a suitable feed for goats, similar to barley but with lower protein content. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/47068 | ISSN: | 0377-8401 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0377-8401(98)00134-5 | Fuente: | Animal Feed Science and Technology [ISSN 0377-8401], v. 73, p. 187-191 |
