Abstract
This study aimed to test the level of dry matter and organic matter mulberry natural food and Gliricidia at Ettawa goat crossbreed (PE) males. This research was conducted in March and April 2016 in the village Ranomentaa Toari District of Kolaka. The material used is 12 PE male goats aged 4-6 months with a body weight of 10.44 ± 1.13 kg. Research compiled by complete randomized design (CRD) 3 treatments and 4 replications, P1 (100% mulberry), P2 (50% and 50% mulberry Gliricidia), P3 (100% Gliricidia). The parameters observed were dry matter intake (DMI), organic matter intake (OMI), dry matter digestibility (DMD) and organic matter digestibility (OMD). The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA with F test (P <0.01 and P <0.05), when there is a continued effect with least significant difference test (BNT). Dry matter consumption and OMI highly significant (P <0.01), while DMD and OMD not significant (P> 0.05) as a result of treatment. DMI highest average at P3 (295.41 grams), in line with the highest OMI on P3 (271.21 grams). While the percentage DMD and OMD each ranging between 39.82 to 41.23% and from 40.55 to 43.87%. The absence of the effect of treatment on DMD and OMD caused by the degradation rate of the different natural feed caused by the content of crude fiber (CF) and lignin as well as anti-nutritive substances in the forage. Based on the results of the study concluded that the DMI and the best OMI on Gliricidia, but had no effect on DMD and OMD
Highlights
Goats Ettawa itself was imported from India in the Dutch period, given the origin of the goat Ettawa that of the country of India (Jamnapari) which is different from the climate and season with Indonesia, goats are often known as goat PE (Peranakan Ettawa), today considered as the local goats
Ettawa size similar to but more adaptive to local environments Indonesia because it is a cross between a goat Ettawa and a goat Nuts
The amount of food and the quality of the food was either not able to change the body of cattle genetically smallish, but feeding in low numbers will not be able to provide body weight gain and growth carcass optimally in accordance with the genetic potential that exist in each animal as the speed of growth, a high percentage of the carcass, it may only be realized if the animal can obtain enough food (Parakkasi, 1995)
Summary
Goats of this type thrive in cold temperate areas, a big man coat color vary; white striped, red-brown, patches - patches of black or a combination of these and on the back there is a thick fur and long. Listening goats crossbreed Etawa generally very fond of beauty feathers and face shape. Because it is very rare type of goat is used as a goat to be slaughtered (cut) to be eaten, they are more use is as pets for collection. Giving the fastest protein needs is by giving Concentra, but the price of concentrate feed is relatively expensive and not affordable by farmers
