Article Details: Received: 2018-07-31 | Accepted: 2018-10-18 | Available online: 2018-10-31 https://doi.org/10.15414/afz.2018.21.04.197-200 The aim of this study was to determine the nutritive value of hybrid Rumex patientia L. x Rumex tianschanicus A.Los (Rumex OK 2). Rumex OK 2 can be considered as a technical or energetic plant for renewable production of biomass or as a feed as source of nutrients for animals. In this study two harvestings were planned, firs cut was realised in June (growth from March to June) and second cut was realised in November (growth from July to November). Samples of Rumex OK 2 plants were collected in the 20 th day of the month in March to June and in September to November. Concentration of nutrients were detected according to Regulation no. 2145/2004-100. Fresh Rumex OK 2 samples from March 7.42%, April 8.71% and September 4.89% had very low concentration of dry matter (DM). On the other hand samples from March, April, September and October had high concentration of crude protein in range from 31.42 to 24.54% of DM. From start of growth in spring to time of firs cut in June increased both concentration of dry matter from 7.42 to 56.62% and concentration of crude fibre from 14.86 to 47.38% of DM. Concentration of fat in Rumex OK 2 is low and similar to that of maize plant or alfalfa, whereas concentration of nitrogen free extract in Rumex OK 2 plant is similar only to alfalfa. Results of this article bring compact view over nutritional characteristic of Rumex OK 2, which can be according to gained results about nutritional value used as a source of nutrients in animal nutrition, or as a source of renewable biomass for bioenergy production.

Highlights

  • Production of agricultural biomass as a renewable energy is very important part of sustainable development of countryside

  • Concentration of dry matter was determined by the gravimetric method, crude protein by the Kjeldahl‘s method, fat: extraction by light petroleum, crude fiber: gravimetrically as the residue remaining after extraction in acid and alkali reagent, acid detergent fiber (ADF): gravimetrically as the residue remaining after extraction in acid detergent solution, neutral detergent fiber (NDF): gravimetrically as the residue remaining after extraction in neutral detergent solution, acid detergent lignin (ADL): gravimetrically as the residue remaining upon ignition after 72% H2SO4 treatment, ash: ashing with the use of a muffle furnace by 550 °C

  • The concentration of dry matter of Rumex OK 2 increased from 7.42% in March to 56.62% in June

Summary

Introduction

Production of agricultural biomass as a renewable energy is very important part of sustainable development of countryside. Unique results of experiment with Rumex OK 2 were published by Petříková (2012) She claimed that Rumex OK 2 can be used for green feeding, as a pasture or in form of silage, and she concluded, that feeding of Rumex OK 2 to dairy cows positively affected the production and composition of milk (Petříková, 2012). Dry matter ideal for production of biogas or for feed producing is according Usťak (2007) from 18 to 22%. Harvesting by this dry matter can provide 3 cuts per year with average production of 30 to 50 tons of biomass per hectare. × Rumex tianschanicus A.Los (Rumex OK 2) we aimed to determine the concentration of basic nutrients of this plant in selected months For better know about nutritional parameters of hybrid Rumex patientia L. × Rumex tianschanicus A.Los (Rumex OK 2) we aimed to determine the concentration of basic nutrients of this plant in selected months
