Abstract
Coix lacryma-jobi L., as animal feed is considered a cereal plant from the Poaceae or Gramineae family. We aimed to determine the influence of different doses of Nitrogen (N) fertilizer on Coix lacryma-jobi L. It was conducted in the Lempake Village area; and the Chemical and biochemical laboratory of agricultural products and animal husbandry nutrition laboratory at Mulawarman University from March to September 2021. Data were collected using a randomized block design and five treatments as follows T0 = control, T1= 150 kg/ha, T2= 300 kg/ha, T3= 450 kg/ha, and T4= 600 kg/ha with four replications. The results showed a significant effect on Dry Weight (DW) and Moisture Contents (MC) of Coix lacryma-jobi L., with no significant (p<0.01) effect on Dry Matter (DM) and Crude Fiber (CF). The application of different doses of N fertilizer led to a high Crude Protein (CP) and ash contents but failed to affect the crude fat and Nitrogen Free Extract (NFE). The best nutrient contents were observed at 600 kg/ha, with CF, CP, Ether Extract (EE), ash, and NFE at 24.34, 8.50, 1.49, 11.63, and 54.04%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, a quarterly, peer reviewed publication and is dedicated for publication of research articles in the field of biology of animals and with the scientific understanding of how animals work: from the physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organ systems down to the structure and function of bio molecules and cells; particular emphasis would given to the studies of growth, reproduction, nutrition and lactation of farm and companion animals and how these processes may be optimized to improve animal re- productivity, health and welfare. Articles in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects and the environment also are encouraged. AJAVS is an important source of researcher to study articles on protection of animal production practices, herd health and monitoring the spread of disease and prevention in both domestic and wild animals.
