Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of sweet potato vine cultivars on in sacco nutrients disappearance. Three bucks were cannulated and assigned to switch over design. Samples were incubated for 0, 8, 12, 18, 24, 32 and 48 hours. The result revealed that sweet potato vine cultivars have no significant effect (P>0.05) on dry matter disappearance (76.74 vs 80.41%) for Danchina and King J respectively. However, the dry matter disappearance of Cowpea (66.05%) was lower. Acid detergent fibre and neutral detergent fibre follows similar pattern with dry matter disappearance. Sweet potato vine cultivars have significant (P<0.05) effect on Crude Protein (CP) disappearance for Danchina and King J (80.08 and 90.14%) respectively. It was concluded that King J and Danchina sweet potato vine cultivars can be fed to animals as a replacement of Cowpea hay as they were proven to be nutritionally good in term of disappearance.
