Pengaruh Waktu Pemberian Pakan Yang Berbeda Terhadap Kandungan Protein Tubuh Domba Lokal Jantan (the Effect of Different Feeding TIME to Body Protein Content of Local Ram)

Abstract

This research was aimed to estimate body protein of local ram fed at different feeding time. The materials used was twelve one year old local rams with average body weight of 24.12 kg (CV=10.51%). The feed given was formed as complete feed (pellets) with crude protein (CP) of 16,6% and total digestible nutrients (TDN) of 67,63%, consisting of wheat straw, soybean meal, molasses, cassava flour and bran. This research was used completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 4 replications. The Treatments wereT1 (day time feeding : 06.00-18.00), T2 (night time feeding : 18.00-06.00), and T3 (day and night), respectively. Parameters observed in this research was body protein content which was measuredby using Urea Space methods. The data was collected at the first and last week of the experimental period. The results of this study indicated that different feeding time of the day and night did not show significant effect on the body proteins which was averaged of 0,55 kg. This study could be concluded that feeding time (day and/or night) had no effect on body protein development
