JF - Revista de Producción Animal JA - RPA VL - 28 IS - 1 SE - Manejo y Alimentación DO - UR - https://revistas.reduc.edu.cu/index.php/rpa/article/view/285 AB - The potential of Aloe vera bark residues as a nutritional supplement for caprine physical-chemical characterization was used to determine humidity (2.76% ± 0.12); pH (4.45 ± 0.10); raw protein (4.37% ± 0.13); ethereal extract (2.15% ± 3.06); raw fiber (16.94% ± 0.52); (cellulose 19.76% ± 0.20); (lignin 9.68% ± 0.30); hemicellulose (12.45% ± 0.39); and total ashes (13.68% ± 1.62). These results are comparable to sugar cane bagasse, banana, oranges, and algae as nutritional supplements for animals. ER -
