Abstract

Five selected cowpea accessions (ILRI 9325, ILRI 11976, ILRI 6782, ILRI 6783 and WWT) were evaluated for herbage dry matter (DMY) and crude protein (CPY) yields, and nutritive value. Among the tested accessions, ILRI 9325, ILRI 6782, ILRI 6783 and WWT gave higher and comparable yields (P<0.01 for DMY; P=0.05 for CPY), with ILRI 9325 giving superior yields. The overall CP content was 17% with a range of 16% for WWT to 18% for ILRI 9325. The overall mean for neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and lignin were 43%, 34% and 6%, respectively. The in vitro organic digestibility (IVOMD) ranged from 64% (ILRI 6783) to 69% (WWT). The relative feed value (RFV) index averaged 135 (range = 128 – 142). The mean metabolizable energy (ME) content was 10 MJ/kg DM with a range of 9.5 to 10.4. Three accessions that combined high biomass DM and crude protein yields, and herbage quality were: ILRI 9325, ILRI 11976 and WWT. The two former accessions can thus be promoted to the next variety verification stage alongside with WWT as a check to identify one or two alternative cowpea varieties for official release.

提高纤维饲料质量的战略：评估埃塞俄比亚西部亚湿润气候条件下种植的豇豆（Vigna Unguiculata）品种的潜力

对所选的五个豇豆品种（ILRI 9325、ILRI 11976、ILRI 6782、ILRI 6783 和 WWT）的干物质（DMY）和粗蛋白（CPY）产量以及营养价值进行了评估。在受试品种中，ILRI 9325、ILRI 6782、ILRI 6783 和 WWT 的产量较高且相当（DMY 的 P<0.01; CPY 的 P=0.05），其中 ILRI 9325 的产量更高。总体 CP 含量为 17%，WWT 为 16%，ILRI 9325 为 18%。中性洗涤纤维（NDF）、酸性洗涤纤维（ADF）和木质素的总平均值分别为 43%、34% 和 6%。体外有机消化率（IVOMD）从 64%（ILRI 6783）到 69%（WWT）不等。相对饲料价值（RFV）指数平均为 135（范围 = 128 - 142）。平均代谢能（ME）含量为 10 兆焦/千克 DM，范围为 9.5 至 10.4。生物质 DM 和粗蛋白产量以及牧草质量均较高的三个品种是：ILRI 9325、ILRI 9325、ILRI 9325 和 ILRI 9325：ILRI 9325、ILRI 11976 和 WWT。因此，前两个品种可与 WWT 一起进入下一个品种验证阶段，以确定一到两个豇豆替代品种供正式发布。
