Nutrient Intake, Fermentation, Digestibility and Growth Performance of Barbarin Lamb Supplemented with Sweet Lupin

Authored by S Abidi

In Tunisia, particularly in the arid and semi-arid zones, climatic conditions have caused the degradation of rangelands leading to a chronic forage deficit and a nutritional imbalance in animals, particularly in sheep and goats. Thus, energy and / or nitrogen supplementation has become essential to maintain these animals and ensure the expected performance. For this reason, Tunisia has resorted to the import of raw materials including soybean meal, barley and corn [1]. However, fluctuations in their prices on the world market are negatively affecting animal nutrition industry. Our country imports annually, over 300,000 tons of soybean meal at a price of 1.2dt / kg [2]. Similarly, these imported raw materials are unstably available on the Tunisian market which can affect the profitability of farms and alter the sustainability of animal production sector in Tunisia. As a result, several attempts to replace these foods, including soybean meal, have been considered by researchers. Protein crops (Lupine, faba beans and peas) are good alternatives to soybean meal because of their high crude protein content. However, despite their good nutritional quality, their use in animal nutrition is currently limited due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors (Faba bean tannins, lupine alkaloids) and their fluctuating availability on the market (limited forage legume crops). Thus, the main objective of this study is the evaluation of the substitution effect of soybean meal by sweet lupine on the ingestion, digestion, growth and meat quality in Barbarine lambs.

Materials and Methods

Animals

Twenty-four six-month-old Barbarine lambs were selected. The initial live weight averaged 23 kg. These animals were transported to INRAT headquarters. They were acclimated for 4 days to new housing conditions. Lambs were weighed than divided into three equal groups. All animals received oat hay ad libitum and concentrate. the first group received CC1 containing 75% barley, 22.5% soybean meal and 2.5% CMV, whereas the second received CC2 containing lupine as a substitute for soybeans in term of CP to be iso-nitrogenous with CC1. The third group received intermittently CC2 and CC3 which contain only barley and CMV. Animals have undergone a growth period (80 days) followed by a digestible period (10 days).

Sampling

During growth period, average daily growth was assessed through weighing animals biweekly. At digestible period, lambs were housed individually in metabolic cages and were allowed three days for acclimatization to new conditions. Animals received weighed amounts of corresponding feed. A 7-day faecal collection period started on the following day. After weighing the amounts of fresh feed, refusals and faeces, samples of each were taken daily. Part of each sample was used for DM determination and the other part (20% of the weight of the fresh refusals and faeces) was stored at 4 °C for hay and concentrates or at – 5 °C for faeces. Urine was collected in plastic recipients containing 100ml of a 10% sulphuric acid solution (v/v) to maintain pH below 3. After weighing, an aliquot (10%) corresponding to each animal was taken and frozen (- 20 °C). In the last day, pooled samples of individual feed refusal, and faeces were dried at 50 °C; ground through 1 mm screen then stored pending analysis. Pooled samples of urine were stored in the freezer (- 20 °C) until analyzed. Rumen fluid was taken in two consecutive days to measure pH and ammonia content and to determine protozoa number.

Analyses

Feed, refusals and faeces samples were analyzed for dry matter (DM), ash and crude protein according to AOAC [3]. They were also analysed for (NDF, ADF and ADL) [4]. Urine was analyzed for Kjeldahl nitrogen [3] and allantoin concentrations measured using a colorimetric method. Urinary excretion of allantoin (Y, mmol/d) was used to calculate microbial purines absorbed (X, mmol/d [5]. Rumen fluid samples were analyzed for NH3-N [6].

Statistical analysis

The statistical analysis of the results was performed using an analysis of variance according to the model: Yijk = μ + Ai +εi.

In which μ= arithmetic mean; Ai = the effect of diet (i= 1,2 or 3) and εi is the residual experimental error. Data were analyzed using the ANOVA procedure. All statistical analyses were carried out using the GLM (general linear model) procedures of SAS Package (1987). Differences between the means of all the analyses were analyzed using the LSMEANS procedure.

Results and Discussion

Nutrient contents of feeds are presented in Table 1. Soyabean meal is greater in CP than lupine, while the opposite trend was observed for NDF, ADF and ADL.

Diets intake and digestibility are shown in Table 2. Results revealed that the nature of the additional protein source did not affect feed intake (P> 0.05), which corroborates with results reported by El Maadoudi [7] and El Maadoudi and El Housni [8]. The level of hay ingestion considered similar between the three groups reminds us of the result reported by Ephrem et al. [9]. This could be explained by the importance of the nutritional quality of protein sources and the tolerance of sheep to lupine alkaloids. Nevertheless, our results are contradictory to those reported by Lestingi et al. [10,11] by testing the replacement of peas and faba beans. In addition, proteins source did not reveal a significant effect on digestibility of MS, MO, MAT and NDF (P> 0.05). The amount of DCPi was significantly affected (P = 0.0003). Purroy et al [12] did observed significant differences in DM, OM, CP and fiber digestibility’s by replacing soybean meal with lupine seed in lambs. The incorporation of lupine into different quantities improved digestibility’s of DM, OM and cellulose without affecting those of NDF and ADF [13]. Lupine had no significant effect on their average daily gain (ADG). This result agrees with those of many trials carried out on the replacement of protein seeds by lupine which revealed comparable digestive uses between diets [9,11,14,15]. Moreover, Facciolongo et al. [16] found that supplementation with soybean meal and lupine induced similar ADG, while Lestingi et al. [10] showed low weight gain in animals fed lupine diet compared to those which consumed faba beans. We note that although the 3rd group received half of the quantity of lupine consumed by the 2nd one, the corresponding lambs were able to have similar and even better ADG than the others. This leads us to think about the concept of food efficiency. It seems that these animals were able to optimize their efficiency to transform food resources into meat to reach same weight as the others. The nitrogen balance and microbial synthesis are shown in Table 3. It appears that all animals had positive balances. However, a significant variation in the amount of nitrogen intake and retention was observed in the 3rd group in comparison with the two others. This difference is explained by the variation of the ingested quantity of the concentrate. On the other hand, by correcting the retained nitrogen to the nitrogen intake, the nitrogen balance was similar for all diets, which confirms that animals had the same nitrogen use efficiency. Moreover, similar CP digestibility reinforces this finding.

The total amount of purine and the amount of microbial nitrogen were not influenced by the source of supplemented proteins (P> 0.05), which is consistent with the lack of effect on the CP digestibility. In accordance with our results, Yu et al. [17] found no significant differences between purine and microbial nitrogen concentrations in lambs supplemented or not with blue lupine or faba beans.

Table 4 presents the different fermentation parameters. Our study showed that the average pH of rumen juice was affected by the diet (P < 0.05). pH corresponding to the 2nd group (6.25) exceeded significantly that of the 1st group (6.07), but no significant difference was detected between pH corresponding to the 3rd group (6.13) and the others. Brand et al. [18] reported pH values ranged between 6.4 and 6.3 in castrated rams fed a lupine diet. Rumen ammonia level was affected only by diet (P > 0.05). The highest concentration was observed in daily lupine fed lambs (23.9 mg / dl). White et al. (2002) found that ruminal ammonia concentration was higher with lupine incorporation rate of 70% than with 35%, which corroborates the high ammonia level in animals receiving lupine daily and the low one in animals receiving lupine intermittently. Protozoa enumeration revealed a significant difference between diets. Animals belonging to the 2nd group had the highest number (15.3 * 105 / ml) whereas those of the 3rd group had the lowest one (11.7 * 105 / ml). This could be explained by the corresponding ammonia concentrations in the rumen since a large population of protozoa is generally associated with a high concentration of ammonia in the rumen [19,20].

Conclusion

It can be concluded that lupine grains can substitute safely soybean meal in diets of Barbarine lambs. The distribution intermittently of lupine seems to be a double interesting alternative to soybean meal. It decreases lupine quantity and therefore reduce feeding cost

Request for Consultants - Gender Analysis in Target Communities of Adamawa, Yobe and Borno

1 Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project Terms of Reference Gender Analysis in Target Communities of Adamawa, Yobe and Borno This Terms of Reference (TOR) provides the description and work to be done to conduct a gender analysis in target communities in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno States in the North East under the Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project. The work required by this TOR includes developing and testing the tools, implementation and documentation. Project Background Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is an international non-governmental organization supporting relief and development work in over 99 countries around the world. CRS’ programs assist persons on the basis of need, regardless of creed, ethnicity or nationality. CRS works through local church and non-church partners to implement its programs. CRS has worked in Nigeria for more than 25 years. Through local partners, CRS has implemented programs in 24 of the country’s 36 states, demonstrating the agency’s extensive grassroots network and significant capacity to reach the rural poor, with a focus on agriculture, emergency response and recovery, and health. CRS Nigeria is leading an exciting and innovative project designed to develop sustainable approaches to lift some of the most vulnerable households in Nigeria out of poverty. Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project is funded by USAID for a period of five years (from July 2013 to July 2018) for the Northern Nigeria states of Sokoto and Kebbi, and the Bwari Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory. The project is implemented by a consortium of non-governmental organizations, led by CRS Nigeria. The project is based in rural communities and targets 42,000 vulnerable households. Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project engages communities in agricultural-led growth interventions, using a multi-sectoral approach to help very poor households grow their agriculture production, incomes and improve nutrition. The project aims to improve agricultural practices, and promote post-harvest storage for nutrient rich crops already being produced and market-oriented approaches to diversification of production, ensuring all agricultural activities are adapted to specific agro-ecological and cultural contexts. In January 2017, the project expanded into the North East States of Adamawa, Yobe and Borno with an additional 10,000 beneficiaries targeted. The overall purpose of the expansion into the North East is to ultimately move returnees, host communities, vulnerable households, and internally displaced persons (IDPs) from depending on humanitarian assistance to engaging in agricultural and other economic activities. The objective will be achieved by building the capacity of targeted beneficiaries, which will result in increased agricultural production and productivity and diversified sources of income. Integrating gender concerns into the intervention in the North East is necessary to maximize effectiveness and sustainability as well as benefits for women, men and the communities they live in. Implementing activities in a gender-responsive manner is crucial to ensure both that project activities do not exacerbate existing inequalities but also that project strategies address gender gaps that impede sustainable food security and community development. To date, severe inequalities prevent women in 2 the North East from accessing equitably agricultural inputs or productive assets despite their active participation in on-farm and off-farm activities. Moreover, patterns of low-equitable decision-making and division of labor result in women’s low participation in community decision-making processes. As a result, women remain an underutilized potential asset for the achievement of sustainable, agricultural and economic growth. The project can contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment by developing a context-specific and culturally appropriate gender strategy. To achieve this, Feed the Future Livelihoods Project must understand the existing gender-related barriers and opportunities related to achieving improved food security by leading a gender analysis with key stakeholders and beneficiary communities. The project will leverage the results from the gender analysis and the recommendations to improve gender integration throughout project implementation and evaluation. As such, CRS Nigeria requires the services of a qualified consultant to conduct a gender analysis in target rural communities in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno States, and to provide subsequent programmatic recommendations for addressing household and community gender barriers to sustainable food security. Objectives: The overall purpose of the Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project’s gender analysis in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno States is to identify existing gender-related barriers and opportunities related to achieving improved food and economic security. This information is critical for identifying specific entry points to promote equal participation of men and women in project activities and the rural economy, as well as informing the project on the development of a gender-responsive implementation strategy overall. Specific objectives include: • Identify context-specific barriers to women’s participation in community meetings/activities and producer groups; • Identify culturally-appropriate recommendations (via participatory community-led appraisal) to inform a strategy to promote more equitable participation; • Identify gender-related barriers and facilitators for improved agricultural production practices, including post-harvest activities for men and women, especially for female-headed households (including context-specific dynamics and practices related to division of roles/responsibilities related to the production of key value chain commodities (cowpea, maize, soyabean, sorghum, rice, groundnut, and vegetables); • Identify gender patterns of decision-making, access and control of household income and resources that impact food security at the household and community levels. • Identify entry-points to promote more equitable access to agricultural inputs, extension services and agronomic or farm management trainings for men, women and youth; • Identify barriers to women in accessing economic opportunities and generating income; • Formulate recommendations for gender-related adaptations to communication strategies and project-supported trainings and extension services; • Identify potential harmful gender-related outcomes as a result of SILC activities to ensure a ‘do no harm’ approach and inform a gender-responsive SILC strategy; Research methods and tools: The Feed the Future Nigeria Livelihoods Project’s Gender Analysis will be guided by USAID’s ADS 205’s domains of gender analysis including: I. Access/control of assets II. Knowledge, beliefs and perceptions (cultural context) 3 III. Practices and participation (roles and responsibilities, participation on committees, etc.) IV. Space and time (time-use) V. Legal rights and status (protocols and status of WMBG in national policies) VI. Power (decision-making) [*Other domains relevant to women’s empowerment and agriculture can also be considered in conjunction with the USAID guidance] The Gender Analysis process will begin with a thorough review of existing literature to inform and triangulate qualitative tools and results. The draft qualitative tools will be based on: 1) literature review, 2) project objectives and existing project data and 3) proposed research methodology. From there, a brief skills training on gender integration and analysis will be provided to the GA study team. The training will be the platform to validate tools and familiarize the team with research methodologies and objectives, as well as gender concepts. Lastly, the gender analysis team will conduct the collection of data in selected communities. The consultant is responsible, in close concertation with the project’s MEAL staff, to finalize a realistic sampling strategy. Qualitative tools include the following:  Single-sex Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with Men and Women will include questions tailored to uncover the gender-related practices in agriculture production and income-generation. FGD data will include a number of Female and Male headed HHs (FHH/MHH). Younger male and female participants will be selected in certain communities to represent youth.  Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools: o The Harvard activities profile as well as the priority ranking tools will be used to identify key activities throughout the year and to understand roles and responsibilities, time-use, and access to necessary resources for key productive activities. Additional questions will be added to solicit community feedback on best ways to ensure equitable community participation in project activities based on community rankings.  Key informant interviews (KIIs) will be conducted with key stakeholders at the State, LGA and community-levels.
