- The study was conducted to determine the effect of fermentation with water on the nutritive value and rumen degradation characteristics of some locally available fibrous feeds. Nine (9) different rations were formulated based on the 60:40 ratio of energy to protein. The result of the proximate analysis showed that rations fermented with water recorded an increase in crude protein content which ranged from 7.12 to 13.60 % when compared to the control which varied from 6.51 to 10.89 %. Also the ash content increased when fermented with water (6.69 – 9.95 %), compared with the control of the rations (6.50 – 11.00 %). The nitrogen free extract values (43.33 – 53.17 %) increased when the rations were fermented with water (49.01 – 55.93 %). A decrease in crude fibre content (29.07 – 37.16 %) was observed when the rations were fermented (24.85 – 33.38 %). Ether extract, acid detergent fibre and neutral detergent fibre contents followed the same trend as that of crude fibre. The rate of dry matter disappearance of the control and the rations fermented increased with incubation time. Rations fermented with water had higher dry matter disappearance values at 96 hrs (59.45% - 75.68%), while the control recorded the least values (55.16 - 70.95 %). The dry matter degradation after 48 hours was above 50% in the fermented formulations (50.49 – 66.17 %). The soluble dry matter fraction ‘a’ was highest in the fermented formulations (18.82 – 28.35 %) and lowest in the control (16.67 – 25.53 %). The insoluble but rumen degradable fraction “b” was highest in fermented formulations (31.10 – 55.54 %) and lowest in the control (30.94 – 52.59 %). The rate of degradation ‘c’ was recorded highest in fermented formulations (0.023/h – 0.037/h), and lowest in the control (0.011/h – 0.031/h), while the potential degradability (a+b) was highest in fermented rations (59.45 – 75.68) and lowest in the control (55.16 – 70.95). In conclusion, the result of the study showed that fermentation with water had increased the crude protein content and degradability of the feedstuffs and would therefore improve intake and utilization by ruminant livestock.
