Exploring the Nutritional Value of Different Tree Leaf Meal Combinations in Himachal Pradesh

Albizia chinensisSolan to assess the nutrient composition of various combinations of tree leaf meals.In September 2020, leaf samples from three different species:, and were collected, sun-dried and various combinations of tree leaf meals Leucaena leucocephala Acacia catechu Albizia chinensis were prepared by blending them in varying proportions.The proximate analysis of the tree leaf combinations indicated notable differences.The contents of crude fibre (CF), were significantly higher in the combination of neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF)L. leucocephala A. catechu A. chinensis L. leucocephala A. catechu A. chinensis (1):(1):(3).Conversely, in (3):(1):(1) compositions the content of were significantly higher, mainly attributed to the higher proportion of Crude protein (CP), acid insoluble ash (AIA) and phosphorus (P).L. leucocephala L. leucocephala, A. catechu A. .The nutritional value of the tree leaf meal combination which consisted of a mixture of and chinensis in a ratio of 3:1:1, had the highest nutritional value.This leaf meal combination has a higher concentration of crude protein and phosphorus and a minimum concentration of crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre.
