Degradabilidad in sacco de Festuca arundinacea (Poaceae) en ovejas ( Ovis aries ) y llamas ( Lama glama )
Fernández Pepi, María G.; Abimael Ortiz Chura; Alejandro F. Zucol; Gustavo Jaurena. 2016. “Degradability in sacco of Festuca arundinacea (Poaceae) in sheep ( Ovis aries ) and llamas ( Lama glama )”. Lilloa 53 (2) . The degradability of forage is associated to the chemical composition of the cell wall lignification of tissues (characteristic for each species) and accessibility of rumen microorganisms to these polysaccharides. This paper studied com- paratively tissue degradation of Festuca arundinacea blade and sheath in camelids and sheep rumen, in order to assess the greater efficiency of camelids to degrade fiber were made. Sheets and sheaths samples were taken, which were subjected to different ruminal incubation times to measure the degradation of different tissues, by the in sacco method. No differenc- es between the ability of ruminal degradation of llama and sheep were found (p>0,05). The anatomy of the blade and the sheath influenced the differential tissue degradation, although only significant differences for sclerenchyma and xylem of both fractions at 24 h of incubation were found. At 48 h rumen incubation, only they remain of nondigestible tissues , for the vascular system was found. Accessibility to structural carbohydrates of the cell wall by rumen microorganisms is determined by the arrangement of the elements of each tissue type and by the chemical composition of the wall.
