Energy and protein content of Tedera (Bituminaria bituminosa)

Ventura M.R., Méndez P., Flores M.P., Rodríguez R., Castañón J.I.R.

Nutrient content was determined in tree subspecies of Bituminaria bituminosa (also called Psoralea bituminosa): crassiuscula, albormaginata and bituminosa collected in Canary Islands in autumn, spring, winter and summer. Crude protein content ranged 15-20 per cent and NDF content ranged 41-56 per cent. In vitro OM digestibility ranged 55-65 per cent. Based on digestible OM content of subspecies, estimated net energy content ranged 4.6-5.3 MJ per kg DM, with not significant differences among subspecies neither season.
