Abstract
The nutritive value of oil palm trunk OPT for ruminant feed was investigated. OPT was sawn into planks and reduced to flakes. In vitro and in vivo digestibility tests were conducted on the OPT flakes untreated and treated by drying steaming and with caustic soda. In vivo digestibility trials of the OPT prepared by the 4 different methods untreated dried steamed NaOH treated and ensiled were carried out with 12 Kedah-Kelantan bulls and compared with rice straw. The steamed and NaOH treated OPT showed a remarkable increase in in vitro dry matter DM digestibility. In vivo DM digestibility of OPT was higher than that of rice straw even in the untreated form. DM digestibility of rice straw untreated dried OPT steamed OPT NaOH treated OPT and OPT silage was 35.1 42.7 54.6 54.2 and 50.5 respectively. From the results OPT was proven to be a very promising roughage source for ruminants.
