Key Points

  • To evaluate the fermentation potential of alternative feeds for dairy production in overgrazed tropical regions.
  • In vitro rumen fermentation experiments conducted on alternative feeds.
  • Feeds assessed for their potential to mitigate feed shortages and grazing pressure.
  • Water hyacinth showed significant fermentation potential for dairy cows.
  • Alternative feeds could enhance the efficient use of low-quality forages.

Abstract

-N accumulation (p < 0.001). Utilizing enset leaves and water hyacinth as alternative roughages could mitigate feed shortages and reduce grazing pressure in tropical regions, whereas Moringa pods and enset corms as complementary feeds could also enhance the efficient use of tropical low-quality forages in dairy cows.
