Abstract
Protein is an important nutrient for building body tissues so it must be available in feeds in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of goats for basic living and production. The aim of this study was to observe the effect of different protein tingkats in cassava leaves complete feed silage on the performance of goats. The research was carried out in March-August 2021 at the Research Center of the Department of Animal Husbandry, Lampung State Polytechnic. A total of 24 goats were used in the study using a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments applied were different protein levels in complete feed silage based on cassava leaves R0 = 12%; Rl = 13%; R2 = 14%; R3 = 15%; R4 = 16%; R5 = 17%. The results showed that different levels of protein in complete feed silage based on cassava leaves affected the performance of local goats and the highest feed consumption was obtained at a protein level of 17%, the highest average daily gain at a protein level of 17%, and the lowest feed conversion ratio at a protein level of 14%.
