Abstract
Mung bean straw (MS) was treated with 3% urea solution (UTMS) or supplemented wiU'l urea. vitamins + mineral mixture (MSMS). The three mung bean strew forms were offered to mature males Baladi goats averaged 20 kg live body weight ad lib. as a sole diet (exp. I) or with a supplement of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) to cover 50% of energy maintenance requirements according to NRC, 1981 (exp.II).
The results showed that U'le two treatments applied to MS increased CP content and decreased AOF and improved almost all nutrients digestibility and nutritive values In terms of TON and OCP. Bolh treatments significantly (p < 0.05 or 0.01 ) increased OM. TOM and OCP intakes. Goats given UTMS alone or rations containing MS, MSMS or UTMS+ CFM coutd cover their maintenance requirements of TON and DCP according to NRC (1981). while goats received MS and MSMS as a sale diet could not ccvertheir maintenance requirements ofTDN and DCP with one exception that animals given MSMS could cover their maintenance requirements of OCP
Animals given rations containing CFM + MSMS or UTMS showed signifICantly (p < 0.05 or 0.01 ) higher nitrogen balance in terms of eilher g/animallday or as % of N intake or digested and rumina) NH3 and VFA's concentrations compared with those fed rations containing CFM +MS. No significant differences were detected among all treatments with regard to serum creatinine, GOT and GPT concentrations.
The present study suggests the possibility of using mung bean straw as a new roughage source in ruminant feeding. Intake and utilization of mung bean straw could be improved by gouts using urea treatment or ursa + vitamins + mineral mixture supplement to cover maintenance requirements without any adverse effect on kidney and l!ver functions.
