Influence of Soybean Groat Protected Used in The Consumption and Digestibility of Dry Matter, Organic Matter and Crude Protein on The Bligon Goats

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of formaldehyde-protected soybean groat on the consumption and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter and crude protein in Bligon Goat. The study used 15 head male Bligon Goats with an average body weight of 20 kg with 3 treatments and 5 groups arranged in a randomized block design (RBD). The diet consists of elephant grass (EG), basal concentrate (BC), soybean groat (SG) and soybean groat protected (SGP). Treatments include P0 = 30% EG + 70% BC, P1 = 30% EG+ 60% BC+ 10% SG and P2 = 30% EG + 60% BC + 10% SGP. The results showed that the consumption of dry matter and organic matter not significant, but highly significant on crude protein consumption. Consumption of crude protein in the treatment without the addition of soybean groat showed lower results than consumption of crude protein in feed containing soybean groat. Digestion of dry matter, organic matter and crude protein were not influenced by differences in feed treatment in Bligon Goats. Concluded that supplementation of soybean groats protected or not in the diet can increase the consumption of crude protein and produce the same consumption on parameters of dry matter and organic materials intake. Dry matter, organic matter and crude protein have the same digestibility of feed Bligon Goat.
