Evaluation of Cold Press Mustard Cake Obtained from Mustard Grown in Different Location of Turkey in Fall and Spring Seasons for Ruminant Nutrition
2 Tarla Bitkileri Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü Yenimahalle/ANKARA - This study was carried out to evaluate the use of wild mustard (Brassica juncea) cake in ruminant animals, which has many uses in the feld from biodiesel to medical purposes. For this purpose, dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), crude fber (CF), insoluble fber in neutral detergent (NDF), insoluble fber in asid detergent (ADF), insoluble lignin in acid detergent analyzes (ADL) was carried out in the samples of the cake obtained after the oil was taken by cold pressing method of the mustard plant which was planted in summer and winter in different regions, energy value calculated. As a result of analysis, it was determined that there was no difference (P> 0.05) in terms of planting time for crude nutrient contents of mustard plant added as summer and winter. When the data obtained from the study are evaluated, it has been determined that the mustard cake may be used as an alternative protein and energy source in ruminant feeding, yet studies were needed to determine the in situ ruminal degradability and the amount of protein passing through the intestines.
