Nutrient content of woody species in the Patagonian steppe, Argentina
Woody plants constitute a vital food reserve for the herbivores inhabiting the Patagoniansteppe. In a preliminary study, some of these plants showed a high content of ether extract (FAT). To determine whether the low availability of nitrogen in soils leads to low forage quality and whether a high FA...

In a preliminary study, some of these plants showed a high content of ether extract (FAT). To determine whether the low availability of nitrogen in soils leads to low forage quality and whether a high FAT content correlates with a high amount of nutritive lipids, namely fatty acids (FA), chemical parameters of forage quality of aerial parts of thirteen woody plants from this steppe were analyzed.Plants showed moderate or low crude protein (CP) content, and, independently of the FAT content, all samples had approximately the same total content of FA (TFA), with an average of 1% of dry matter.

Contenido de nutrientes de especies leñosas en la estepa patagónica, Argentina. Las plantas leñosas constituyen una reserva vital de alimentos para herbívoros que habitan la estepa patagónica.Estudios preliminares mostraron alto contenido en materia soluble en éter (FAT) en varias de ellas. Para conocer si la baja disponibilidad de nitrógeno de los suelos conduce a una baja calidad de forraje y si el alto contenido en FAT se corresponde con una alta cantidad de ácidos grasos (FA), se analizaron parámetros químicos de calidad del forraje de partes aéreas de trece especies nativas patagónicas. Las plantas mostraron un contenido en proteínas crudo (CP) moderado a bajo. Independientemente de su contenido en FAT, todas las muestras presentaron aproximadamente el mismo contenido en FA totalescon un promedio del 1% en materia seca. El mayor contenido en CP fue en las partes aéreas de Atriplex lampa (13%), Atriplex sagittifolia (10%), Adesmia salamancensis (10%) y en las semillas de Retanilla patagonica (22%). Este parámetro y los valores de digestibilidad (DMD) definen a estas cuatro especies como las de mejor calidad forrajera. A excepción de A. lampa y Berberis microphylla, las cuales han sido previamente estudiadas en otras regiones de Argentina, éste constituye el primer reporte sobre calidad nutricional de partes aéreas de especies leñosas patagónicas.
