- Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate botanical fraction from three varieties of maize by-products. Maize varieties evaluated were Bisi 816, Pioneer 12 and Bima2 obtained from different locations. The plants were harvested at the grain maturity stage. The stover was partitioned based on its botanical fraction into cobs and stover components. The cobs were separated into the grain, ear husk, and cob, while stover was separated into leaf and stem. Each fraction was cut and dried then ground and ready to be evaluated. The evaluation was chemical analysis (crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, lignin, gross energy, metabolizable energy) and in vitro dry matter and organic matter digestibility (IVDMD and IVOMD). The study was conducted in randomized complete design in factorial 3x4 (three varieties and 4 botanical fractions). The study revealed that leaf fraction had the highest content of crude protein (CP) in all varieties with ranges 6.1-11.58%. Though ear husk has lower CP content than leaf, it has high IVDMD and IVOMD in all varieties. The highest in vitro digestibility among botanical fraction were in the leaf and ear husk. From this study can be concluded that the good nutritive quality of botanical fraction in all varieties as ruminants feed were in leaf and ear husk.
