Relative Feed Value of Leguminous Plants Grown on Marginal Land Rinduwati1, Rohmiyatul Islamiyati1, a), Budiman Nohong1, Indrawirawan1, Abstract Planting legumes on marginal land as a source of quality feed can increase livestock productivity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relative feed value (RFV) of corn straw, peanuts, mung beans and soybeans from marginal land. The results showed that the crude protein content of peanut straw was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of mungbean straw and very significantly (P<0.01) higher than that of soybean straw and corn straw. The NDF and ADF content of peanut and mung bean straw were not significantly different (P>0.05), but lower than the NDF and ADF content of soybean straw and corn straw, while the NDF and ADF content of soybean straw were not significantly different (P >0.05) with corn straw. The dry matter digestibility of peanut, mung bean and soybean straw were not significantly different (P>0.05), but the three were significantly different (P<0.05) higher than the dry matter digestibility of corn straw. The dry matter intake of peanut and mung bean straw was not significantly different (P>0.05), but higher than the dry matter intake of soybean straw and corn straw, while the dry matter intake of soybean straw was not significantly different (P>0. 05) with the intake of corn straw dry matter. The relative feed values (RFV) of peanut and mung bean straw were not significantly different (P>0.05), but higher than the relative feed values of soybean straw and corn straw, while the relative feed values of soybean straw were not significantly different (P>0, 05) with the relative feed value of corn straw. It was concluded that the highest relative feed value (RFV) was peanut mung bean, soybean and corn straw.
