Nutritional aspects of the main natural fodder resources in the locality of Ngouye in Senegal

The study was carried out in the locality of Ngouye which is an agro-pastoral area located in the Karffine region in Senegal. The breeding that is practiced is of the extensive type on natural pastures. The study aims to know the nutritional aspects of woody fodder found in the area. During our ethnobotanical survey, we identified 28 woody species, 23 of which are fodder. All species showed high levels of nitrogenous matter (MAT) ranging from 15.66% to 18.21% dry matter (DM). However, among these 23 species, 9 are considered to be better fodder. These 9 species have much greater dry matter ingestion and digestion capacities and low parietal components, in particular lignin and cellulose. These fodder species are Eucalyptus Alba, Securidaca longepedunculata, Acacia ataxacantha, Adansonia digitata, Azadirachta indica, Balanites aegyptiaca, Combretum glutinosum, Anogeissus leiocarpus, and Acacia nilotica. The calcium phosphorus imbalance with respective averages of 0.17 and 1.16 shows that most species are phosphorus deficient.
