Determination of yields and feeding values of Boehmeria nivea (L.) Gaudich and Sesbania rostrata (Brem and Oberm.) for goats

Nitrogen application significantly (P0.05) increased dry matter yield (DMY) of ramie and land productivity while intercropping significantly (P0.05) reduced DMY of Sesbania. Ramie DMY was 11.08, 13.95, and 16.02 t/ha at 0, 35, and 70 K N/ha/cutting and that of Sesbania was 0.91, 0.86, and 6.97 t/ha/yr. Annual biomass yield was 9.95, 13.15, and 14.26 t/ha for 0, 35 and 70 K N. Cutting interval did not significantly affect DMY of ramie and Sesbania on total biomass. Dry matter content of ramie and Sesbania was not affected by N application and intercropping but early cutting (D30) significantly (P0.05) reduced DM and increased CP content of ramie. Protein content of Sesbania was likewise significantly (P0.05) reduced by N application and intercropping. The second study dealt with ramie digestibility using 4 mature goats, in 4 x 4 Latin Square design. The dietary treatments are Ro
