Abstract
Time of harvest is one of the factors that affects the nutritive value of Indigofera. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of harvest time on the content of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, nitrogen free extract, ADF, NDF, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin of Indigofera shoot leaves. The study was organized based on Randomized Group Design (RGD) with 3 treatments and 4 groups, grouping based on stem height and diameter. Harvesting time treatments were carried out based on uniform days after pruning (DAP) at the age of 90 days post transplanting. The harvest times observed were 40 DAP (P1), 60 DAP (P2) and 80 DAP. Analysis of variance on shoot leaves showed that harvest time had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the content of dry matter, organic matter, crude fiber, crude protein, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the content of ether extract, nitrogen free extract, ADF, and NDF of shoot Indigofera leaves. It is concluded that Indigofera leaf shoots were harvesting at the age of 40 ˗ 80 DAD very high in nutrient value and are a good source of feed as a basal feed and concentrate. It can be used as a green concentrate and substitute forage for ruminants and non-ruminants as well.
