Biochemical Composition (Bulla):?Dry matter 51.64?58%; Ash 0.81?1.41%; Crude fat 0.04?0.22%; K 0.3?0.57%; Ca 0.01?0.28%; Mg, Fe, P 0.01?0.06%.?Biochemical Composition (Kocho):?Dry matter 41.25?49.70%; Crude fiber 1.81?4.77%; Ash 1.44?2.50%; K 0.31?0.93%; Ca 0.05?0.965%; P, Mg, Fe 0.01?0.09%.?Multivariate Analysis:?PCA for ten bulla and kocho traits explained 76.6% total variation (first two PCs explained 48%).?Cluster Analysis:?14 clones grouped into three clusters.?Genetic Divergence:?D? values ranged from 59.26 (between clusters 2 and 3) to 261.77 (between clusters 1 and 3), indicating possibility of cross breeding between landraces of different clusters.?Key Finding:?Significant nutritional variation among clones; cluster analysis reveals potential for breeding programs. |
