Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of pelleted diets with different physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) levels on nutrient apparent digestibility of goats. Four male hybrid goats (Boer goats×Xuhuai goats)with the body weight about 25 kg were selected, and the 4 goats were respectively fed with 4 different diets according to the 4×4 Latin square design of experiment. For the 4 diets, diet A was a powder diet with the peNDF level was 22.75%, diet B was a pelleted diet with the peNDF level was 22.75%, diet C was a powder diet with the peNDF level was 31.76%, and diet D was a pelleted diet with the peNDF level was 31.76%. The 4 diets had the same or similar neutral detergent fiber (NDF) content, crude protein (CP) content and gross energy (GE), etc. The test was divided into 4 periods, and each period had 15 days with the pilot test period of 10 days and formal experiment period of 5 days. The results showed as follows: 1) under the low peNDF level, compared with the diet A, the diet B significantly increased the apparent digestibility of acid detergent fiber (ADF), CP, dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P), and nitrogen retention, nitrogen retention rate and nitrogen biological value (P<0.05). 2) Under the high peNDF level, compared with the diet C, the diet D significantly increased the apparent digestibility of NDF, ADF, CP, DM, OM, GE, Ca and GE, and nitrogen retention rate (P<0.05). 3) Under the same diet form, compared with the high peNDF level diets (diets C and D), in addition to the calcium apparent digestibility had no significant increase (P>0.05), the rest of the apparent digestibility of nutrients in the low peNDF diets (diets A and B) were significantly increased (P<0.05). The results indicate that whether under high or low peNDF level, diets with pelleting treatment both can improve the nutrient apparent digestibility of goats.
