Study on the effect of different application rate of beef cattle feces on yields and nutrients level of dwarf elephant grass and on the degradation rate of dry matter

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different application rate of fresh cattle feces on dwarf elephant grass yield, nutrients content and dry matter degradation rate in order to find a measure to increase nutritive values of dwarf elephant grass and decrease the pollution of nitrogen, ferrus, zinc and copper of feces on environment by the way of reasonable application with cattle feces. Dwarf elephant grass was treated with fresh beef cattle feces at three application rates: control, low application rate (3 kg fresh cattle feces/10 kg soil) and high application rate (6 kg fresh cattle feces/10 kg soil), respectively. The effect of cattle feces on yield, nutrients content and dry matter degradation rate of dwarf elephant grass was studied, the trial of planting dwarf elephant grass was carried out with plastic pot and the trial of degrading dry matter in rumen with nylon bag. These results indicated that low and high application rates of fresh cattle feces significantly (P＜0.01) increased the dry matter yield of stem and leaf, the yield of stem dry matter was 45.5% and 54.5% higher than that of control, the yield of leaf dry matter was 87.5% and 121.4% higher than the control, respectively. Low and high application rates of fresh cattle feces significantly (P＜0.05) increased the level of leaf protein and neutral detergent fibre of dwarf elephant grass, the content of leaf protein in two application rates was 13.3% and 20.9% higher than that of control, respectively. The ability of accumulating Zn and Cu ranked as follows: root＞leaf＞stem. Degradation rate of dry matter increased with the increase of application rate of feces and duration of sample in rumen. The yield, nutrient contents and dry matter degradation rate of dwarf elephant grass increased with the application rate of feces increased, much more works are still needed to be done for the optimum application rate of feces used for planting dwarf elephant grass. To plant dwarf elephant grass with cattle feces is a good method of increasing the level of N, Zn and Cu of dwarf elephant grass and alleviating pollution of feces to environment.
