description |
Legumes are the plant that contains high protein content that has been used as supplementary for animal feed
and has a great potential to increase the productivity of livestock. However, no much study has been measured
on the nutritive value of legume species. Thus, the aims of this study were to measure the nutritive content in
the leaves of three different legume species (Leucaena leucocephala, Calopogonium mucunoides and Stylosanthes
guianensis) and to compare the species that contain high of nutritive value. The samples were collected in Tembila
area, Besut, Terengganu, then were brought to the Plant Physiology laboratory at UniSZA Kampus Besut for
sample preparation.The samples were washed under tap water for 30 seconds to prevent nutrient leaching,then
were dried and ground before analyzed by proximate analysis and mineral analysis using Induces Coupled
Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) machine. The parameters that were measured by using the
proximate analysis consist of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF), ash, ether extract (EE) and
Nitrogen Free Extract (NFE). For mineral analysis, the samples were analyzed for Calcium (Ca), Zinc (Zn),
Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn). The results of this study showed that Leucaena leucocephala had
significantly higher (p < 0.05) of CP and EE. While, Stylosanthes guianensis had significantly higher (p < 0.05) of
the micro-elements which are Zn, Fe and Mn. Therefore, this study revealed that L. leucocephala contained the
highest nutritive value of CP, EE and Calcium. |
