ABSTRACT
Paddy and wheat generate multi-million tons of straw as residue. These two straws although similar in their nutrient content are quite different in microstructure and non-nutritive chemical composition. Present study was conducted to estimate the proximate composition and mineral estimation from locally available wheat and paddy straw from Jammu region. The OM, CP, EE, CF, NFE, TA, AIA, NDF, ADF, Ca and P of wheat straw was 92.87c±0.01, 4.35a±0.01, 1.34a±0.00, 37.82c±0.057, 49.40c±0.080, 7.13a±0.01, 5.35a±1.01, 78.04c±0.03, 53.51c±0.02, 0.53c±0.002 and 0.21c±0.002 respectively. The OM, CP, EE, CF, NFE, TA, AIA, NDF, ADF, Ca and P of of paddy straw was 85.31a± 0.02, 4.76b±0.03, 1.43c±0.01, 31.42a±0.060, 47.70a±0.063, 14.69c±0.02, 10.29b±0.01, 72.09a±0.05, 50.12a±0.02, 0.31a±0.002, 0.11a±0.003. The highest OM, CF, NFE, NDF, ADF, calcium and phosphorus levels were present in wheat straw and the per cent of CP, EE, total ash and AIA were highest in paddy straw. The wheat straw is relatively rich in OM, CF, NFE, NDF, ADF, calcium and phosphorus content, whereas paddy straw contains relatively higher concentration of crude protein, ether extract, total ash and acid insoluble ash content.
