The Effect of Feeding Ipil-Ipil Leaves and Sugarcane Tops on the Performance of Caraheifers (Swamp Buffaloes) Juplo R.T., Casas J.J., Soberno O.T., Pena D.B. Jr., Ranjhan S.K. Bureau of Animal Industry, La Carlota Stock Farm, La Granja, Bacolod, Negros Occidental, Philippines Online published on 21 January, 2012. Abstract The response of supplementation of dried ipil-ipil leaves, concentrates, urea-molasscs-mineral block lick, and sugarcane tops was studied on 20 caraheifers grazing on improved pasture containing 12% CP. In a 5-month study, it was observed that supplementation had no significant response over the control treatment (T1) where animals were grazed for 4 hours and fed sugarcane tops soilage ad libitum. Supplementation with urea-molasses block lick (T2), dried ipil-ipil leaves at 1% body weight (T3) and concentrate mixture at 3% live weight plus urea-molasses-block lick (T4), did not show any significant difference on growth rate. This indicated that grazing supplemented with sugarcane tops was able to meet the nutritional requirement of caraheifers. Top | |
