The digestibility of rice straw (RS) and rice straw molasses silage (RSMS) were determined using cattle and carabaos. Results show that cattle were as efficient as carabaos in utilizing nutrients from RS. The digestible protein (DP) of rice straw was 1.15 ± 0.51 percent for cattle and 1.11 ± 0.10 percent for carabaos. The total digestible nutrients (TDN) were similar: 48.62 ± 1.51 and 49.04 ± 1.27 percent for cattle and carabaos, respectively. The corresponding digestible energy (DE) for RS in both species were likewise similar at 1972 ± 65 and 1963 ± 44 kilocalories per kg of dry matter. Although the DP of RSMS for both species was comparable to RS, the TDN for cattle declined to about 33 percent and for carabaos to 36 percent. The DE of RSMS also dropped to 151 and 1669 kcal dry matter for cattle and carabaos respectively. The result suggests that RSMS has lower feeding value compared to RS.

Adriano, Instructor, Department of Animal Husbandry, College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños The digestible nutrients of high moisture corn (HMC) fed as whole grain, ground before feeding and ground before ensiling were determined using carabaos and Holstein x Red Sindhi steers. There were no significant differences in the digestible nutrients of the three forms of HMC for cattle. In general, carabaos were better than cattle in digesting the 3 forms of HMC. Except for significantly higher nitrogen retention in carabaos fed on HMC ground before feeding, both species responded with almost the same amount of 120 ABSTRACT OF RESEARCHES ON <strong>THE</strong> <strong>PHILIPPINE</strong> <strong>WATER</strong> <strong>BUFFALO</strong> nitrogen retained. In a 2x2x3 CRD factorial experiment, 12 male carabaos and 12 male cattle were fattened for 5 months to compare the feedlot responses to corn with different moisture levels and hormone implantation. Rice straw molasses silage (RSMS) was given ad libitum. The total dry matter (DM) intakes of cattle fed HMC and low moisture corn (LMC) were not significantly different. Diethylstilbestrol (DES) implanted animals consumed significantly higher DM than the controls. Among carabaos DES implanted animals and the controls did not differ significantly in their DM intake. Animals given LMC consume significantly more DM than those given HMC. Cattle significantly consumed more DM than carabaos. The average daily gain (ADG) of cattle fed LMC was significantly higher than those given HMC. However, when RSMS consumption was corrected to a constant level, the difference in gains between HMC and LMC groups was not significant. There were no significant differences in the ADG of the two species, 0.75 kg for cattle and 0.70 kg for carabaos. Feed efficiency was not significantly affected by either moisture level of corn or DES implantation in both cattle and carabaos. No significant difference was observed in feed efficiency between the two species. The dressing percentages of cattle and carabaos were not affected by either moisture level of corn or DES implantation. Cattle gave significantly higher (P
L. S. Castillo, Professor, Department of Animal Science, College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños A series of digestion trials was conducted on cattle, carabaos and goats to evaluate values of cassava forage, winged bean forage, sugarcane plants and mulberry leaves. Two stages of regrowth of cassava forage were tested using cattle and carabaos. Apparent digestibilities of dry matter (DM) and crude fiber (CF), total digestible nutrients (TDN), DM intake, digestible protein (DP) and TDN were significantly (P
