Abstract

The effect of feeding silage of leaf and stem of banana tree with waste date palm on feed intake, microbial protein synthesis and blood parameters using four adult rams in a change- over design with four 21-days period were examined. Eighty five kg leaf and stem of banana tree with 15 kg of waste date palm were mixed together and ensiled for 45 days. Chemical composition and sensory evaluation of silage of leaf and stem of banana tree with waste date palm was evaluated and used in experimental diets as zero, seven, 14 and 21 percent of DM. According to sensory evaluations, silage with a score of 20 had a very good rating. Nitrogen retention in sheep fed 21 percent silage was lower than the control group (P<0.05). Dry matter digestibility of experimental diets containing 14 and 21 percent silage was lower than diets containing zero and seven percent silage (P<0.05). The mean excretion of allantoin, uric acid and total purine derivatives in the urine of sheep were increased linearly (P<0.05) with increasing the silage in the experimental diets. Increasing of nitrogen and microbial protein synthesis in sheep fed diet containing 21 percent silage was more than sheep fed diet without silage (P<0.05). Increasing of the silage level in diet, was increased triglyceride concentration by linearly (P<0.05). According to the results, using of 21 percent silage of leaf and stem of banana tree with waste date palm in sheep diet without change in dry matter intake, increase microbial protein synthesis.
