Annual Report Year 2007 (Technical Document No. The CP values of pangola therefore depend on the stage of growth. Publ. In several developing countries, ruminant animals are the major contributors to draught power and are increasingly important as a source of meat, milk, and other livestock products. Annual Report Year 2004 (Technical Document No.47–0514–014), Animal Nutrition Division, Department of Livestock Development. Ranchers in Central and South Florida have been well served for many years by ‘pangola’ and other cultivars of digit grass. It is generally considered to have low shade tolerance (Ecocrop, 2009). Many studies have been made on the chemical composition of pangola utilized fresh or preserved as hay or silage (Table 1). Animal production studies in Jamaica. The rapid spread of this species in cultivation throughout the regions is ascribed to four characteristics which coincided so closely with the economic and technical needs of the region as to override the inherent disadvantages of this grass. It has been documented that the type and number of ruminants receiving pangola grass can determine the success of its use. J.

Pointe-à-Pitre, INRA, 1989: 3-10, Champannet, F., 1989. Pangola is a ideal pasture to plant to assist with the control of Giant rats tail grass and to control erosion once established it forms a dense coverage which helps to reduce germination of seed. (2006) reported that the average milk yield of cows fed pangola grass-based diets was approximately 16 kg/day; the milk had 3.51 - 3.61% fat, 2.93 - 2.94% protein, 5.02 - 5.04% lactose and 11.97 - 12.00% total solids. J Taiwan Livest Res 1991, 24: 59-65. Like all tropical grasses, chemical and nutritive value of pangola grass vary with several factors including age of regrowth, season, fertilizer and genotype. NORTON* SUMMARY Six Angora goats and 6 Merino crossbred wethers were fed mature (8.2 g N/kg DM) and immature (19.5 g N/kg DM) Pangola grass hay and the intake digestibility and utilisation of these diets compared.

It is often considered to be one of the higher quality tropical grasses (Cook et al., 2005). The inflorescence is a digitate (single whorl) or subdigitate (2 or more whorls) panicle comprising 3-17 racemes, 5-20 cm long.

Thailand, which lies between 5°30' and 20°30'N and 98° and 105°E, has approximately 0.6 million dairy cattle, 6.5 million beef cattle and 1.2 million buffalo; about 3.4 million families raise these animals on 184,400 ha of forage (Department of Livestock Development 2011), mostly on natural pastures and crop residues. (Redirected from Pangola grass) Digitaria eriantha, commonly known as digitgrass or Pangola-grass, is a grass grown in tropical and subtropical climates. 2. The livestock numbers continue to increase throughout Southeast Asia despite the increasing human population density in these regions. Pangola is a stoloniferous perennial and when established, it spreads rapidly by stolons.

Pangola grass (Digitaria eriantha Steud., synonym D. decumbens) is one of recent examples of grasses that have been successfully introduced to Southeast Asia and is often considered as one of the highest quality tropical grasses popularly grown as pasture. Raising beef cattle and dairy cows on high-quality pasture grass is also beneficial both nutritionally and economically. At Parada in North Queensland, Australia, a body weight gain of 2,990 kg/(ha × year) was obtained from grazing irrigated pangola grass fertilized with 672 kg N/(ha × year); (Ebersohn and Lee 1972).

However, in horse grazing pangola pastures, cases of bighead disease (nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by interference of oxalate in pangola grass with mineral utilization in horses) have been recorded (Stewart et al.

Crude protein (CP) values of pangola grass are commonly in the range of 5 to 12% of dry matter (DM; Table 1) but may exceed 15% of DM with young regrowth age and intensive fertilization (Heuzé et al.

If only studies from Thailand are considered, the CP content varied from 5.3 - 7.9, 3.1 - 10.5 and 7.1 - 13.4% of DM, respectively, for fresh, dried (hay) and ensiled pangola. Pangola grass is utilized extensively as grass for animal grazing, hay and silage making. Phunphiphat W: The use of pangola silage for beef cattle. Until 1992, Dr. T.

Pangola (Digitaria eriantha Steud., synonym D. decumbens; family: Poaceae (alternatively Gramineae), subfamily: Panicoideae, tribe: Paniceae) is one of the highest quality tropical grasses (Cook et al. Central Research Station, Mazabuka, N. Rhodesia.

Pangola grass (Digitaria eriantha Steud., synonym D. decumbens) is one of recent examples of grasses that have been successfully introduced to Southeast Asia and is often considered as one of the highest quality tropical grasses popularly grown as pasture.

The inflorescence has one to two whorls with 5 to 10 spikes that are up to 13 cm long each, with many spikelets 2.70 to 3.00 mm long (Bogdan 1977). Some authors studied effects of pangola on growth of ruminants. Moreover, Chobtang et al. Optimal growth conditions are annual rainfall ranging from 700 to 4000 mm/year, temperatures from 15.9 to 27.8°C and soil pH from 4.3 to 8.5 (Duke, 1983). Pangola is recommended for the poorly drained soils in Malaysia and the Philippines and is tolerant of flooding (Hacker 1992). Available at http://ags.kku.ac.th/kaj.

In the Caribbean, on pasture receiving more than 400 kg of N fertilizer per hectare, production of 100 kg DM/ha/day have been recorded during the long day season against 50 kg DM/ha/day during the short day season.

One way to overcome this problem and to maintain the continuity of feed supply is to conserve surplus forage or crops as hay or silage for later use when feed is in short supply. ‘Pangola’ responds well to nitrogen, giving linear increases up to 300-350 kg/ha N. However, other types also respond well to improved nitrogen fertility, but perhaps not to the same extent as ‘Pangola’. Proc FAO Electronic Conf Trop. In Taiwan, Hsieh (1990) used four tropical grasses (pangola, Guinea, dwarf elephant and South African pigeon grass) which were grazed by seven Holstein steers during the first year and 60 Nubian-native goat hybrids during the second year.
