Análisis bromatológico de maní forrajero (Arachis pintoi) y botón de oro (Tithonia diversifolia) en la Amazonia

Bromatological analysis of forage peanuts and buttercups in Amazonia reveals significant data on the nutritional composition and morphology of these plant species. Precise methods, were employed, including digestion, distillation and titration of samples, ensuring the accuracy of the results. Morphological differences between plants are highlighted, such as smaller leaves and thinner stems in the fodder peanut compared to the buttercup, which presents greater height and number of flowers. The results of the bromatological analysis show that forage peanut and buttercup have different percentages of components such as protein, fat, fiber, moisture, and ash. These findings are relevant to evaluate the nutritional potential of these species as forage in the Amazon region. In addition, it highlights the importance of understanding the adaptations and distinctive characteristics of each plant in this ecosystem. This study provides valuable information for future research on the sustainable use of plant resources in the Amazon, both for animal feed and soil restoration. In addition, it seeks to contribute to scientific knowledge on the nutritional quality of specific forage plants in Amazonia, with practical implications for sustainable agricultural management and improved livestock production in this important ecological region.
