The objective of this study was to determine nutritive value and sugar soluble carbohydrate ofpineapple residue. Six treatments were (1) fresh pineapple peel, (2) composted pineapple peel, (3) grind composted pineapple peel, (4) pineapple pulpmeal, (5) pineapple leaf, and (6) pineapple crown. The experiment was conducted in completely randomized design. The results were shown that structural carbohydrate was higher in pineapple peel than pineapple pulp, crown and leaf. Fat content was highest in pineapple leaf. Soluble sugar carbohydrate was higher in pineapple leaf and pulp. In conclusion, pineapple leaf and pulp have potential of being roughage source for dairy and beef cattle. |
