lock (UMMB). Results showed that intake from pasture did not differ significantly among treatments. Supplementation with dried ipil-ipil leaves, concentrates and ipil-ipil + concentrates mix increased the total dry matter intake, with T 3 having the highest dry matter intake (DMI) of 2.7% body weight (BW), followed by T 4 (2.6% BW), T 2 (2.5% BW) and T 1 (1.9% BW). Caraheifers grazed on themeda pastures supplemented with either ipilipil leaves, concentrates, or ipil-ipil + concentrates mix showed significantly higher growth rates than animals without supplementation. Introduction of UMMB lick during Phase II increased liveweight gains from 0.04 to 0.50, 0.28 to 0.58, 0.18 to 0.58 to 0.59 kg/day for T 1 , T 2 , T 3 and T 4 , respectively.

B. Garillo, Science Research Aide, Philippine Carabao Research and Development Center, Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research Development, Central Luzon State University The nutrient of alibangbang leaves (Piliostigma malvaricum) and okra fruit (Hibiscus esculentus) for carabao feeding were assessed with the aim of developing a range feeding system utilizing indigenous fodder tree leaves and crop residues. On the average, alibangbang leaves had 10.9% crude protein (CP) and 5.68% ash. Carabaos used in the digestion trials consumed 6.27 kg dry matter (DM) of leaves per day or equivalent to 1.3% to 1.8% liveweight of the animals. Digestible nutrients were 55.15%, 47.48% and 61.65% for CP, crude fiber (CF), and nitrogen-free extract (NFE), respectively. The dry matter digestibility (DMD) was 56.4% while total digestible nutrient (TDN) was 59.73%. Okra fruit had 88.00% DM, 21.54% CP, 4.7% crude fat, 10.70% crude ash, 28.35% CF, and 34.80% NFE. Dry matter intake of animals was recorded at 5.36 kg/head per day. It was observed that okra fruit was high in 116 ABSTRACT OF RESEARCHES ON THE PHILIPPINE WATER BUFFALO digestible crude protein (75.43%) and crude fat (83.45%). Dry matter digestibility was 63.48% and TDN recorded was 56.59%. Okra had a higher nutritive value as compared to other feed ingredients. However, animals could consume only 0.75%-1.76% of their body weight. Keywords: alibangbang leaves, carabao, okra fruit, nutrient composition *Abstracts of Completed Researches. 1981-1986.

Makchun, Student, IGS, Central Luzon State University F. V. Mamuad, Assistant Professor, Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, Central Luzon State University A 2 x 2 factorial experiment involving 36 caracalves from 6 to 24 months old were conducted to determine the growth performance during the dry season. The variables were age (6 to 12 months and 12 to 24 months), management (grazing versus confined); and urea molasses mineral block (UMMB) lick supplementation (with, without). Results indicated no significant treatment effect on dry matter intake (DMI). The animals had an average total DMI of 3.6% of body weight, of which 2.8% was from roughage. Grazing animals had significantly (P
levels (8.3 mg/100 ml vs. 11.0 mg/100 ml) than the younger group. Management system had no effect on feed cost/kg gain, while UMMB supplementation increased the cost per kilogram weight gain. Cost/kg gain was higher in 12 to 24 months age group than the 6-14 months age group.

Mamuad, Assistant Professor, Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, Central Luzon State University S. K. Ranjhan, FAO Consultant A grazing trial was conducted during the wet season to determine the performance of caracows subjected to the following treatments; grazing on Themeda pasture (T 1 ), grazing + rice bran supplementation (T 2 ), grazing + rice bran + urea molasses mineral block (UMMB) supplementation (T 3 ), grazing damaged + palay supplementation (T 4 ), and grazing + damaged palay + UMMB supplementation (T 5 ). The caracows on T 1 had a negative weight gain during the feeding trial. However, gain of animals on T 2 , T 4 , T 3 and T 5 were significantly higher by 14, 15, 21 and 23 percent, respectively, than those in T 1 . The better liveweight gains of grazing caracows fed with supplements could be attributed to higher dry matter, N, and fermentable carbohydrate intake.

Mamuad, Assistant Professor, Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, Central Luzon State University S. K. Ranjhan, FAO Consultant Sixteen mature caracows were drawn from Phase I experiments and used in the dry season feeding experiment to determine their performance when fed with the following dietary treatments: T 1 - grazing; T 2 – grazing + urea molasses mineral block (UMMB); T 3 – grazing + UMMB + rice bran and T 4 – grazing + urea molasses sprayed rice straw. Results showed that animals in T 2 , T 3 and T 4 had a significantly higher growth rates than animals in T 1 during the peak of the dry season (April). Higher dry matter intake (DMI) and blood urea-nitrogen were also observed from animals fed with supplements confirming the previous observation that supplementary urea either as lick or spray along with molasses can increase the amount of recycled nitrogen and improve the efficiency of feed utilization.
