Sexual Behavior and Semen Production of Kacang Buck Fed with Kelor (Moringa Oleifera Lamm) Leaf Powder as Feed Concentrate Substitution

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of Kelor (Moringa oleifera Lamm) leaf powder substitution as feed concentrate on the sexual behaviors and semen production of Kacang bucks. This research was conducted in a randomized factorial design with 2 factors, which were Kelor leaf powder substitution levels (0; 10; 20 and 30% in concentrate) and feeding periods (0; 60; 70; 80 and 90 days) with 4 replications for each combination of treatment. All data were analysed with variance analysis and followed by Duncan’s multiple range test to determine significant differences. The results showed that substitution level of Kelor leaf powder had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) to reaction time (libido), false mounting, and ejaculation time. Furthermore, a significant effect (P<0.05) was also shown to influence the erection quality but had a non-significant effect (P>0.05) on clamping and thrusting force, as well as semen production. The feeding periods had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) to reaction time (libido), ejaculation time, clamping force, erection quality, semen production and also showed a significant effect (P<0.05) on false mounting and thrusting force. The interaction of treatments in this research showed a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on ejaculation time, and a significant effect (P<0.05) to clamping and thrusting force, as well as erection quality but did not affect (P>0.05) the reaction time (libido), false mounting and semen. It can be concluded that 20% Kelor leaf powders substitution level on feed concentrate could improve the sexual behavior and semen productions of Kacang bucks.

Penggunaan Silase Pakan Lengkap Berbasis Batang Tebu Terhadap Konsumsi, Retensi N, Estimasi Síntesis Protein Mikroba Rumen Dan Performans Sapi PFH Jantan

The main objective of the research was to know the effect of silage complete feed based on sugarcane stalk to N retention, estimated microbial protein synthesis and performance of PFH steer and to find out an ideal proportion of sugarcane stalk on silage complete feed which gave the best performance of steer in economically prices. Nine of male PFH steer age 10 – 11 months were used in randomized block design (3x3) with initial body weight as covariance on total collection method. The treatment were the proportion of sugarcane stalk and concentrate on silage complete feed which made iso N/CP on 13% crude protein (SPL1 : sugarcane stalk : concentrate = 60 : 40, added with urea 1.23 % ; SPL2 : sugarcane stalk : concentrate = 50 : 50, added with urea 0.62 %; and SPL3 : sugarcane stalk : concentrate = 40 : 60, without urea). Parameters of the research were intake, N retention, estimated microbial protein synthesis and daily weight gain. The result showed that SPL1, SPL2, SPL3 have not significant effect (P>0.05) to intake, N retention, estimated microbial protein synthesis and daily weight gain but have significant effect (P<0.05) to organic matter digestibility (OMD), and crude protein digestibility (CPD). Overall, SPL3 tends give a better effect than the other feed treatment. SPL1 was an ideal treatment for PFH steer because more economically from the price and gave performance quite similar with other treatment. Economically value of SPL1 would be higher when the price of sugarcane was less than Rp. 200.00/kg. It could be suggested to consider the particle size of SPL, ensilage process and storage method for the best result of SPL

Effect of White Kabesak (Acacia Leucophloea Roxb) Leaves Level in the Diet on Feed Intake and Body Weight Gain of Kacang Goat

This study was conducted to analysis the effect of levels of white kabesak (Acacia leucophloea Roxb.) Willd. leaves in the diet on feed intake, digestibility and body weight gain of Kacang goats. The completely randomized block design using 5 treatments and 5 replications was used in this experiment. The treatments were 5 concentrate feeds containing different levels of white kabesak leaves i.e. 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% in the dry matter (DM) basis (representing T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4 treatments, respectively). The feeds were set up to contain 11.5-12.5% of crude protein (CP). Concentrate feed and native grass was fed at ratio of 60 : 40 was fed to 5 local male goats (age 1-1.5 years old and initial weight of 16.7±5.0 kg). The results showed that DM, organic matter (OM), and CP intake of T0 was not significantly different from those of T1 goats, but it was significantly higher (P<0.05) than those of T2, T3 and T4. The DM, OM, CP, and crude fiber (CF) digestibility as well as body weight gain in T2 goats were significantly higher (P<0.05) and had feed conversion ratio that was significantly better (P<0.05) compared to those of the other feed treatments. In conclusion, the most optimum level of white kabesak (Acacia leucophloea Roxb.) Willd. leaves used in concentrate feed for goat was 20 %

PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI SUPLEMENTASI BERBASIS DAUN KELOR DAN MOLASES PADA PETERNAKAN KAMBING RAKYAT

The objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the diversity of forages commonly fed to goats in Pasrujambe village; 2) to introduce moringa leaves as a protein source for growing goats under village management conditions. Ninety goat farmers were surveyed on the profiles of goat farming and the diversity of forages offered to their goats during the dry season. To evaluate the impact of moringa leaves supplementation, 26 growing goats (less than one year old) were alloted into two unequal groups, that is control group (7 heads) and supplemented group (19 heads) for four months during which observations on feed intake, daily gain and feed conversion were taken place. The results indicates that most goat farmers (73,3%) have been practising more than 25 years, while the rest (26,7%) was keeping goats less than 5 years. The sex ratio of goats kept by the farmers was 67,4% female: 32,6% male. There were 49 species of forages commonly fed to goats in Pasrujambe that can be grouped into 5 species of grasses, 3 species of tree legumes, 29 species of tree leaves and 12 species of herbaceous. There were significant improvement in feed intake (

The Potential of Rice Straw For Ruminant Production in The Tropics-Effect of Variety, Urea Treatment and Supplementation on Compensatory Growth of Fat-Tail Sheep After a Period of Feed-Qaulity Restriction

ABSTRACTThis research programme was carried out with the obyective to investigate the potential of delayed compensatory growth after a period of feed quality restriction. Sixty fat-tail sheep of 6-8 months of age and â20 kg live weight at the onset of the experiment, were fed diets based on two varieties of rice straw (L, ll 6414, Krung Acch), with (TS) or without (US) ureaanmroniation. Straw was offered at a level of excess of â1,2, The experiment covered two periods (1. 11) of 120 and 152 days, respectively. In period I, across varieties (L, H) and treatments (US, TS), the sheep were given various levels of commercial concentrates (-20 % crude protein). 0, 5, 10, 20 and 35 g.kg-4).75.d-1, respectively. Averaged over level of concentrates (0-33 g.kg°.75d-1, straw organic matter (OM) intake (0M15) and daily gain (DWG) were 37_2, 0.5 (L-US), 44.5, 2.5 (L-TS), 42.2.
