| Abstract |
Effects of feeding modified cassava chip and corn seed as energy source inclusion in diet were investigated on growth performance, rumen fermentation, blood glucose and insulin in early fattening bulls. Thirty six one-year-old Charolais crossbred bulls with initial weight 270±50 kg were randomly assigned into six groups with different experimental rations as cassava-based concentrate without modified cassava chip (T1; Cass-Con), alkaline-treated (T2; Cass-Alkaline), steam-treated (T3; Cass-Steam) corn-based concentrate without modified corn seed (T4; Corn-Con), alkaline-treated (T5; Corn-Alkaline), and steam-treated (T6; Corn-Steam), according to completely randomized design (CRD). Results showed that feed intake, digestibility and digestible nutrients intake were not significantly different among treatments, while digestible dry matter and organic matter intake of Cass-Steam and Corn-Alkaline were higher compared with the other diets (P<0.05). Ruminal pH post-feeding was highest in T5 and lowest in T1 (P<0.05). Blood glucose was similar among treatments; however, concentration of blood insulin at 4h post-feeding was higher in Cass-Steam, Corn-Alkaline and Corn-Steam than the others, and higher in animals fed corn-based concentrate than in animals fed cassava-based concentrate (P<0.01). Body weight gain and average daily gain (ADG) were significantly higher (P<0.05), while feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lower in Cass-Steam, Corn-Alkaline and Corn-Steam compared with in Cass-Con, Cass-Alkaline and Corn-Con. Results indicated that using a modified cassava chip and corn seed diet improved growth performance in early fattening beef bulls. An appropriate method to modify cassava chip was determined as the steam method, while the alkaline method was superior when used for corn seed. |
