Abstract
This research is conducted to study the nutrient contents and the in vitro digestibility of Mulato grass (Brachiria hybrid cv. Mulato) grown under mixed culture system with legume-horticulture plants. The study used a completely randomized research design (CRD) consisted of four treatments and four replicates. Those treatments were (1) T0 = monoculture Mulato grass, (2) T1 = biculture Mulato grass with legume, (3) T2 = biculture of Mulato grass with horticultural plants, and (4) T3 = polyculture of Mulato grass with legume and horticultural plants. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that treatment had significant (P<0.05) effects on Dry Matter (DM), Organic Matter (OM), and Crude Protein (CP) as well to the in vitro digestibilities of DM and OM of Mulato grass. It was concluded that nutritive value and in vitro digestibilties of DM and OM of Mulato grass were increased in a mixed culture system of Mulato grass with legume and horticulture plants.
