Abstract

The aim of this research is to understand the effects of katuk and gamal leaf supplementation on production and quality of milk at early lactation period. The research was conducted in dairy cattle husbandry, Enrekang, with completely randomized design consisting of 4 treatments and 4 repetitions, yielding totally 16 experimental units. The experimental diet was made of forage (60%), concentrate (25%), gamal leaf (15%), and katuk leaf (135 g, 155 gr, 175 g). The results showed that supplementation with katuk leaf significantly contributed to production of milk. The diet enriched with katuk leaf of 155 gr and gamal leaf of 15% (treatment P2) was evidenced to exert desirable effects on consumption and digestibility of the forage as source of fibers.
