Abstract

Study the effect of different particle size of cassava leaf meal on the characteristics of the physical properties, nutrients, and PDI values pelleted ration was carried out in a completely randomized design with three treatments and seven replications. Treatment applied P1 = particle size of cassava leaf meal 2 mm, P2 = particle size of cassava leaf meal 3 mm. and P3 = particle size of cassava leaf meal 5 mm. Research results obtained (1) Effect of particle size reduction of various cassava leaf meal meal was highly significant (P <0.01) in the variable physical properties and can reduce the bulky nature of cassava leaf meal. (2) Effect of particle size reduction of various cassava leaf meal was highly significan (P <0.01) on the crude protein content but not significantly different to the crude fat and crude fiber, (3) Reduction of cassava leaf meal particle size to 2 mm was highly significantly (P <0.01) to the increase in the value of the PDI. Keywords: characteristics of the physical properties, particle size, PDI pellet, cassava leaf meal
