dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted to explore the possibility of utilization of Senna tora or Cassia tora or Wild senna complete plant for application as animal feed using the proximate analysis based on AOAC analytical standard and further the fodder quality and digestibility parameters were estimated using various factorial methods. Samples were pooled from in and around Fodder Unit, College of Veterinary Science, Hyderabad. Crude protein (CP) was 12.38 percent while crude fiber (CF) was 18.84. The CF recorded was higher than the conventional feeds generally used for non-ruminant livestock hence the plant may probably suit to be fed to ruminant and pseudo-ruminants. Other results were total ash 10.84 %, moisture content 13.10% and lipid content 2.63%. The Calcium was 4.38 % and Phosphorous 1.02%. The quality analysis of fibers was Neutral Detergent Fiber 59.45% and Acid Detergent Fiber was 35.99%. The estimated dry matter intake on dry matter basis was 2.02% and estimated digestibility parameters i.e. Relative Feed Value (RFV) was 95.24 %; Relative Feed Quality (RFQ) was 102.81 %. The other results of analysis were acid detergent lignin (ADL) 28.59%, hemi cellulose (HC) 23.46%, acid insoluble ash (AIA) 0.27% and silica 0.17 %. The analysis results depict potential nutritional use as animal feed which has to be further tested in vivo at various levels of inclusion.en_US
