Abstract
The non - starch polysaccharidase mixture that was evolved for the respective crop residue (sorghum stover/groundnut haulm) was tested against the control diet (without enzymes) through in vitro dry matter degradability study using rumen liquor from sheep. Untreated/treated sorghum stover/groundnut haulm were included in complete rations for sheep and compared for their efficiency on dry matter degradability. The study was carried out with four replications for each treatment. The in vitro dry matter degradability of enzyme treated complete ration was 53.60 ± 3.57 which was significantly (P<0.05) higher compared to in vitro dry matter degradability of 37.20 ± 2.02 in untreated complete ration. A digestibility trial in sheep was carried out to examine the extent to which digestibility was influenced by treatment of sorghum stover/groundnut haulm with non - starch polysaccharidase mixtures. The dry matter digestibility of enzyme treated sorghum stover/groundnut haulm were significantly (P<0.05) higher than the dry matter digestibility of their untreated counterparts.
