Abstract
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a by-product of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) refinery. As the largest CPO producer, Indonesia exported an abundant amount of PFAD without further processing. The use of calcium soap as a supplement for ruminant feed will increase the productivity of dairy cows in Indonesia. Hence, this study reported in-vivo tests that were conducted to determine the effect of calcium soap supplementation on dairy cows. The result showed that feeding calcium soap to dairy cows could increase productivity and extend the lactation period. The milk quality also improved by the increase of fat content and density which lead to an increase in milk prices. Based on the field observations in three animal husbandries, calcium soap improved the health and fertility of cows.
