Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) (WH) and its content of major elements and the heavy metal in plant silage on feed instead of filler feed, and to estimate the apparent digestibility for the water hyacinth silage (WHS). Also to study the effect of WHS replacement on apparent digestibility, and the metabolic energy of the rations, fed to Awassi sheep. Twelve males of Awassi sheep aged between 11- 12 months and weighing (76.4±5.37 kg) were used for the trial. Three animals were allotted to each of the four treatments (WHS 75%, WHS 50%, WHS 25%, WHS 0%) in a completely randomized design. The experiment lasted 14 days Parameters measured include apparent digestibility of organic matter, crude protein, crude fiber, ether extract, nitrogen-free extract, total digestible nutrients (TDN). The results showed that the plant had a good level of essential and micro minerals, without any containing heavy metal. The Chemical composition of water hyacinth silage showed a good level of crud protein 12.01g/100g DM moderate total digestible nutrients (TDN) (52.1%) and the apparent digestibility of dry matter and crude protein increased with increasing level of WHS in the diets. The replacement of water hyacinth silage had a positive effect on total digestible nutrients (TDN) and had a significant effect on digestible energy (312±13) Kcal/100gr at 25% replacement of WHS compared with the control group (277.2±22.5) Kcal/100gr, and significant effect on metabolic energy (256.3±10.6) Kcal/100gr compared with the control group (227±18.5). It could be concluded that WHS can be used to substitute the wheat straw by up to 25%.
